As frequently necessary to point out in this scenario, this is not the father of metrosexual, house music loving, high popping Alex Olson. It’s the other Steve Olson. ‘Quicksand’ was a pretty perfect choice to use in his Tentacles of Destruction section, like the song’s name sake drawing you in. The first three slow motion tricks match the opening guitar and Bowie vocals, slowly building anticipation.
While the pace of the skating picks up the speed of song does not and, due to these contrasting paces, the section does a good job of keeping you glued and wanting more – and not because the part doesn’t deliver.
Steve’s second trick is a frontside 180 nosegrind to frontside shove-out on Hubba Hideout; consider how often you would have seen this trick on video then. Now think about how frequently you’ve seen it done lately, sans-Suciu… Another Hubba Hideout hammer in the form of a backside 180 nosegrind revert appears while the previously mentioned frontside 180 nosegrind also gets the backside shove out treatment.
