If you are old enough to remember this video hitting screens back in 2002 there’s a good chance you would have not forgotten this beastly ollie attempt by Ali Boulala filmed by French Fred for Flip’s epic ‘Sorry’ video.

This new footage features never-before-seen clips of Ali attempting the leap of faith, tackling 50 stairs in one day, and said last week on his FB page that: “This is by far the gnarliest thing I have ever filmed. He did on 2 separate occasions, including on a drizzling day, which makes it even crazier. Maybe it’s possible, maybe Ali could have done it with the right conditions.”

Who do you think would be able to make this 25 stair ollie today? Watch this archived gem and then discuss.

It’s a sad day for skateboarding as Skateboarder Magazine has been folded in the USA after almost 50 years of publishing skate related content in print and its recent digital service. Their final issue will be released in October.

The legendary magazine was axed following their publishing company Bonnier Corporation selling its TransWorld Media properties in May this year to GrindMedia who own a bunch of extreme sports magazines.

The history of this particular mag reaches back to when skateboarding was known as sidewalk surfing. The mag has relaunched a few times over the last 49 years but this a massive kick in the teeth to the skateboard industry and another example of suits killing off skateboarding’s incredible history.
