PASSING THE TORCH

Steve Olson, AKA Bulky, AKA SOS is one of the foremost surf style/burly skaters of all times. He has been skateboarding for around thirty-four years and was voted skateboarder of the year in 1979 Skateboarder Magazine Reader's Poll. His son, Alexander, is fifteen years old and has been skating for around four years; he loves skateboarding and is unmistakably new school. Hanging out and skating with them is hilarious… "Dude, knock it off", "I'll kill you bitch" the back and forth banter is more like two brothers than father and son. Recently, after touring some of British Columbia's best skateparks and a trip to Calgary's amazing Millennium Park, I had a chance to sit the two down and ask them a couple of questions. The following mini interview gives some insight to their relationships with skateboarding and with each other.
