"If you are lucky you'll run into him on the dance floor, homeboy can cut a rug. But if you're even luckier you'll get to see him skate. This kid is one of the most creative people I have ever seen skate. Even at the most over skated spot Olly always can finds a new line. This makes him one of the most entertaining people to watch." -- Clint
