balearic skip: s/t

Alex Olson aka Balearic Skip, a professional skateboarder, now has a record on Jolly Jams. As the progeny of the skateboard pioneer Steve Olson, he first learned to ride at age 12. By 19 he was skating professionally, giving him the rarefied distinction of being the first second-generation professional skateboarder. In 2005 he signed a sponsorship deal with Girl Skateboards, one of the most prestigious skate companies. A few years ago, he parted ways with Girl Skateboards to work with Louis Vuitton, Vans and his current sponsor, Nike.
