Now that we have some distance from the 00s, you can start to form opinions on what has held up, what was good, what was bad, who was underrated, who was overrated, and so on. I'm saying Steve's skating was under appreciated, perhaps because he wasn't riding for a bigger name board company. Also with a bunch of mags and a slew of videos in that era, a skater and/or company could get lost in the shuffle, too. As an example, Steve ollied the stair gap Louie Lopez ollied for his second to last trick in the recent Again & Again video back in 2006.
Ian Patrick O'Connor was the photographer.

I'm running out of Minnesota sports references for some of these posts. Send help.
Ummm Dino Ciccerelli?
Also Nessers sponsors in that previous ad were a Dream team back then: Birdhouse, Spitfire, Indy, PE clothing and Adio. Hmm Dream Team...so Laettner?
The big one would've been Adio. He wasn't on Birdhouse for very long before starting The High Five/Send Help, if memory serves me correctly. Birdhouse is also kind of in-between.
I completely forgot about the Timberwolves. We good for the next 2-3 Minnesota posts.
