Steve Olson #2.



Steve Olson was a character.

It's interesting that back in the 1990s the mags always made it a point to refer to Foundation's Steve Olson as the younger or the new school guy, so as to avoid confusion with the elder Steve Olson. This was probably done for the older guys more than for us youngsters. Nowadays the kids might not know who this Olson was, but know all about Alex's dad.

Mags should do the same with Beagle, mostly for the benefit of old dudes, many of whom think the filmer and the former Foundation pro are the same guy.

I make that joke enough on here. It's probably not funny any more, but it makes me chuckle.

plus the old foundation pro was a filmer/editor... Which may lead to the question of how one guy filmed Baker 2G and Art Bars at the same time???

I actually thought there was only one Beagle.

Steve Olson rides 2 different sized trucks. How weird.

Does anyone have any confirmation that he's no longer skating Pro because he had to disappear due to back tax issues? That's the last I heard...That super hot late-90's Shorty's Squad really didn't have much longevity, did they?

I heard that rumor, too. I have no idea how much truth there is to it.
