Action Sports

Alex Olson, born in 1986, is a goofy-footed American professional skateboarder, company owner and entrepreneur who runs the companies Call Me 917 and Bianca Chandon. He is the son of the former professional skateboarder Steve Olson, grew up in Santa Monica with his mother until the age of ten, and then moved to Malibu to live with his father, where he started skating. In 2005 Jason Dill, then at the height of his career, bought him a ticket to New York City in answer to a MySpace message, and Olson decided to move there from California, living for a time with Dill and for two months with Mark Gonzales. As a young skater he looked up to Andrew Reynolds, Jim Greco and Erik Ellington.
