Mission Statement Episode 09: Alex Olson
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 03. 2019
- Over the past 12 years, Alex Olson has gone from being the new kid on the block to one of the most influential in our culture. His skateboarding speaks for itself. Beyond that, and perhaps more interesting, is the success that he’s had with his Bianca Chandôn and 917 brands. Olson seems to navigate the world in a different way than the typical pro. He isn’t scared to go on creative tangents in the realms of photography, music, and fashion, and is “woke” to the point of practicing daily meditation and adopting a plant-based diet. Packaged together, all of this makes for the most layered guest that we’ve had to date. Lee Smith peels back a few of them in the latest episode of Mission Statement.

the best skate podcast currently out. Thanks for what you do for the culture.
Love to see Alex is doin well. He has always been one of my favorites.
Ray Wilbur thanks for sharing
Alex’s laugh 😆 is the funniest. Great convo ❤️
His laugh reminds me of David Brent, when he says something that makes himself crack up laughing. . Sound of pure glee.
Gosh I couldn’t stop staring at Alex’s duckhunting shoes. Great episode. great dude.
Alex I suggest you to move to Toulouse, it’s the mellowest «big city» in France, cause it really doesn’t feels like one. It’s equal distance from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean coast so you’re like, 3 hours away by car from Biarritz.
I really don’t think you should move directly to Biarritz or Hossegor cause besides surfing, there’s not much to do there, just drinking wine on the balcony of your villa looking at the sunset. I feel like after a certain time you’ll lose your mind, that’s at least the impression I had when I went there.
That’s why I think Toulouse will be the perfect fit for you, since you’re used to living in New York, you’ll still get the feeling of beeing in a pretty busy city. Plus we have a good skate scene here on the contrary to those beach cities and you’ll be able to go surf there whenever you want.
I sent you a DM on insta with more info
I live in NYC and was dating a girl from Toulouse for a while. She was super fucking rad, so you have my cosign .
weckingball the human erection lmao
Shit was hilarious 😂 it’s so true.
I can listen to Alex talk all day. I’ve always looked up to this dude he’s right though in the 2000s Baker was huge and they were hitting rails non stop
I would argue that Baker was more of a flip Trick down big sets company
Yes, ask for more! That was rad.
Bummer to hear there were arguments about the footage that ended up being 'Swoosh' ... that one line at Republique is seriously one of the best of all time (half cab flip, noseblunt, 360 kickflip [body with board], nollie heel, back 180, fakie backtail, frontside halfcab)
That 360 kickflip alone is one of the best ever IMO
chapter2unit4 hey I happened to miss this and wondered if you knew the time stamp on it
chapter2unit4 completely agree
I had to go back and watch swoosh before I started watching this, those lines are perfect
That line and the time right there when 917 was brand new is some of my fav skating ever. All of Johnnys edits from that time... incredible.
Episode was awesome!!! Keep up the amazing content Lee!
hahaha I cried laughing at Lee during the Weck part :D
Might be a long shot but getting Eric Pupecki on the show would be dope!
wow alex olson this episode is going to be good
Great interview! Always respected alexs views and opinions. Let alone the dudes skating. One of the best. F A is rad. Lifestyle branding notwithstanding. Only 45 minutes in. Lol.
Keep the content coming Lee!
He don't ride for fa lol
That weck bit still funny as hell
Thank you
PLEASE invest in better Mics. Please.
whats wrong with them? the echo?
i agree, i fee like lee's mic doesnt pick up half the time . i missed alot or had to keep going back. like if he moved his head to the left it wouldnt pick up as clear
@@callthis1sickness i listened to the episode with head phones on and now I know exactly what you are talking about.
@@MT_Special They saturate all the time, pic too much ambiance, and make it difficult to listen. I suggest also a different background, the infinity wall is just too much. Keep on going!
@@MT_Special the gain is way too high
Lee pet out some genuine laughs with Alex- made you look less robotic-
Aces
Alex dissed Australia, called it 5 years behind. I would be offended but I have to go take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, catch the premiere of OverVert, and discuss the dissolution of Derrimut from the Victorian Legislative Assembly.
right on Lee. Good Stuff !!
Better than Jason Jesse lol Olson is tight
Fuck you serg.. see ya in 30 years dipshit
Lee with that WIP!
"Brotape" 😂😂 I forgot about that little beef, Alex is the fucking best!
He is too funny omg
Having a shit day. I needed this
first time watching this show and loved it. i really like alex olsen, now im really excited to watch alexis's episode!!!
Adam Kawai Araiza lmao wtf u on about.
amazing that Dill tried to get on Palace and they werent having it hahah
Right?! haha I feel like that's a huge missing fact of skating from 2011-2013 that a lot of us never heard about. Very interesting to see both palace and FA are dominating rn while companies like Girl and alien workshop are washed up
man imagine if mike and rick let Alex start his own company under their dist
GOOD WORK, KEEP IT UP
Good show, just got turned onto Mission Statement!
Crazy how Alex was such a skate prodigy back in the day that companies were falling over themselves trying to get him on yet he had no interest in pursuing them at all haha He was also mentored by Ed Templeton and Mike Carroll.
Wow... mentioned Nate Jones so fast. Best dude.
Dude!!!! Staba is awesome. I would have loved to see RUBY become this awesome thing...Alex would have been the best fit for that and even though it never "happened" I would have and still back the idea! Good interview!
Get Austyn on! And please, better audio.
Cool! You should get decent mics though
It’s more the space than the mics. He could try to kill the reverb with treatment or kill it in post. Looks cool though! ;)
Good one.
y'all need to get on spotify
I like Olson ...finally a yung person who doesn't say..... and like.... and like... and like ....and then like.
chill interview
MUSKA AND THE TREE WAS THE SHIT, LOLOLLLL
This is the first time I'm watching an episode and I must say to me this was pretty frustrating. I was excited about another Alex Olson interview because I like his approach to skateboarding, the skateboard industry and life itself. I think he's honest and humble and distinct.
I wasn't hoping for an "edgy" interview by any means but almost everything the interested listener was listening to in those 2 hours he's already heard in previous interviews. Lee Smith seems like such a likeable person and a good sort but to me he seems so held back and insecure about his approach. To me, this interview joins the ranks of the same type of "getting to the bottom of things" but actually just angsty beating around the bush. I assume it also depends on the person being interviewed but that's why it seemed so frustrating to me because I've got the feeling that Olson would really give the other person a platform to talk openly. Even Olson jokingly said "what? that's it?" I took it like he meant it because to me it felt exactly like this.
Couldn't agree more. I wanna see somebody pull no punches. Not that this is bad by any means. But lees coming into his own.
damn this could've been longer :( good episode tho
that one strand of hair
can we get a part 2
interesting dude.. thanks for putting me on to lot radio
Alex ‘Yeah I don’t know’ Olson
I just love Alex 😂
1:04:13 is so perfectly alex
Really enjoy these but dude needs to lower the ad amount. Many people don’t watch, but listen. To have six ad breaks with three ads each in first 35 minutes is nuts.
❤️❤️❤️
fix the audio
Is Bobby Puleo on the schedule?
hopefully not
@@ijfdse PFFFFTTT WTF NAH PULEO WOULD BE TIGHT, HIS NINE CLUB INTERVIEW WAS ONE OF THEIR BEST EPISODES YET!!
@@BottleBrassMonkey but he missed the topics about l path, and his big straight fakie ollie over obstacle.
i hope so, he's very intelligent
you must be very stupid then
anyone know what shoes olson is wearing in this
They look like some kind of work boot/Chelsea boot, he said himself they're leather
Song intro ???
mission statement > the bunt > nine club
whats wrong with nine club?
@@subvikesoft ball questions compared to the bunt and mission statement.
i thought u called me victor subsoft, i like that name
@John Peaches vanilla what?
why can't he go off his prepared questions at all
No disrespect to Aidan, who I like to watch skate, but 917 is loaded with power/finesse riders, which he isn't.
Charles Snyder what is he?
Like FA isn’t?
Aidan isn't even on 917 anymore he's back on FA
@@NecessaryKicks ya, blood, that's why the conversation started...watch the episode.
Charles Snyder oh my fault I was just scrolling through while listening
are they talking about antwon the sj rapper in the beginning? lol
“like like like you know like like and like like so like I like like like like and then like like kinda like like the like like then like like like like like like like like because like....like yeah like.”
"you know what I mean"
59:38
dare anyone to count how much time alex says "like".
robert 596
How could cut off Alex smh
If Leo and Alex where really about to get into it, Leo would fuck him up no question!! Hahah
U chuckle heads
LMAO he destroyed Weck!
Ying and yang.
I'm getting more and more pschyed on your show Lee, you think Cain Gayle would give a good interview an some story telling.....hmmm
what are data blockers ?
Francis Ong people take beta blockers for anxiety I think he misheard
Alex 😂
"lets talk about your hiphop song, which one?" This one ;) kiricks.bandcamp.com/track/a-nice-place-to-visit-feat-lee-smith

Get C-rob on
You know what I mean......I don't know....uh uh uh uh.......

?
HONDASUCCES
DROPOUT
Great interview but please stop talking under your breath. It can be a bit frustrating when you are trying to watch the interview. Just edit out the “off camera” comments later.
Alex, get some interns that are hungry for the clout to "run" your company's kids are going to universities for "media information techno-culture"
so much talking videos but not enough skating.
IKR! Footage please!
rip dylan fuck chemo,,, dr morse. fruit & herbs heals all
yo re: vegans at 1:19 "eastern cultures are way more vegetarian/ vegan" try living in Indonesia yo....three years deep going on 4 it would be hard...this is where tempeh is from, but despite that other than the rampant amounts of tempeh/ tahu, if you say no meat it means "chicken is chill". I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but it is far easier in the US. Treasure the freedoms of living n the free world. Here you have to choose between a handful of modified monotheisms on your ID (Balinese Hinduism is nationally modified)...you can't even choose Judaism because of international tensions between that and Islam.
also 70% of greens include beef skin fat "krecek" (at least where I'm at in central Java rn)
Shit was hilarious! His dad is cooler then him. Sorry Alex
Lees constant laughing annoys me. It's mostly an awkward laugh cause he needs to fill space and has no quick responses
bro-taint
Americans apparently work too hard, yet they invented the pastime skateboarding and spent the leisure time to take it to its limit. So hip to criticize the U. S.
S T F U
Urban Hymns I'll criticise you yanks all day,,,all fuckin day, cos am a Brit and I can
Skateboarding isn't leisurious
@@jp-vo2rx It's not work, which is what he said we spend all our time doing.
I can't believe someone asked him what's more important to him his integrity or money when Alex has made it blatantly obvious he only cares for money.
