Oli Short : Enigma 2002 Profile

oli short

d3yF posted a 2002 profile of Oli Short from Enigma. I’m sure that most people won’t recognize Oli, who is dressed with baggy clothes.

  6. me Says:

    that was FUCKING SICK, shame hes a fucking women now, saw him at the confrence tour trying some toe rolls.

    What would you rather have?

    Disaster back royales and big drops with nice steez

    Or

    Toe roll disaster to yet more toe rolls with long girly hair and tight paint ons.

    actually look at the pic it actually looks like a girl 0_0

  7. Metalsatan Says:

    yeah, we need way more hate!

    calm down kids, it’s just rollerblading. it’s everybodys personal decision to dress the way he likes it.

    Oli Short is a cool dude no matter which way he dresses.

  8. red Says:

    That was soooo sick! Damn!

  9. alex Says:

    don’t quite sweet pant or you see what happen !!!

  10. ... Says:

    Why is it that pros are acting like teenagers with all ther changing personality and looks all the fucking time hahahah, what a fucking faggot Oli short you SUCK!

  11. lucilor Says:

    wow.. how come I never see him lacing this crazy ass shit now adays?

  12. m0rdoc Says:

    Oliver you’re the best =)

  13. obi Says:

    he does what he wants, we don’t have to judge him just for his clothes

  14. op Says:

    back when he was actually good, now he doesnt pull anything impressive.

  15. Djinga Says:

    judge him just for his clothes
    judge him just for his clothes
    judge him just for his clothes
    judge him just for his clothes

  16. clp Says:

    oh my god how he could look like that…

  17. nauldatear Says:

    rgt oli short was the man back the but he’s jump on the gay emo band wagon wif everybody else.

    the guy does some crazy shizzle in that disater true top soyale

    then ramp works 2 years back he done a alley oop grab mono on the flat of the box as a trick in his run.

    theres just no comparison its a proven fact if u go emo u lose abillity and respect .

    FUCK EMO!!!!!!!!!

  18. me Says:

    lets just leave it at he looks like a fag.

  19. Sim Says:

    Yey, Glad to see my edit finally getting seen. 4 yrs down the line.

  20. dizzy Says:

    haha i think he looked dumb in those huge clothes. I didnt know he dressed like that back in the day.

  21. Billy Doyle Says:

    yeah he looks so much better now - oli doesnt need to do some shitty 450 royales and tru top soyales anymore because as you can see he was doing it 5 years ago. hes not emo you fucking idiots. oli is better than every single person who has posted a comment about this old section so you can all shut the fuck up.

  22. seenmy Says:

    I love this board,the majority of the people who seem to post on here are everything i hate about rolling,Your a group of taste ridden tunnel visioned kids who cant look further than the ends of your noses.Its a shame you cant open your eyes and ears and look around you, your same people who moan about being picked on for being a rollerblader or for somone dissing our lifestyle,but then your sit here and hate on one of our own because the way he dresses is out of your comfort zone,Oli is a great representative of rolling and he dose so much for our industry, on tours and behind the scenes hes one of the people that makes the wheels go round.

    As for what he dose on his skates the sooner people learn that rolling first and foremost is about what it gives you,Oli skates how he wants in a direction he wants,same as most of our greats do!rolling is about what puts a smile on your face not impressing some kids on a message board.

  23. kevin Says:

    oli is sick, his new style is dope, and his old stuff was crazy. I love watching his new profiles, its just crazy that it seems like 2 completely different people.

  24. Ian Says:

    I’m pretty sure he’s gotten worse since then

  25. Paul Cargill Says:

    The replies to this video are the main reason I don’t post on the pitful excuse Rollernews has for a forum.

    People grow up and change. Let people do what they want.

    Pathetic.

    Also Sim, great video. The whole video was awesome.

  26. Paul Cargill Says:

    Oh yeah and to “nauldatear”

    Quote - “FUCK EMO!”

    FUCK YOU! Find out the definition of emo then come back and post. Moron.

    Oli short IS NOT EMO!

  27. hogg Says:

    Every one keeps going on about, clothing and style who fucking cares..

    oil is safe, hes better than YOU!

  28. maTT Says:

    dude, thats like a completely different person. i think that he skates better in that profile than he has in awhile

  29. CTroller Says:

    omg! that was Oli Short!

  30. ercaderk Says:

    haaaa his style is still bad. your clothes do not change your style.

  31. nice Says:

    It is so sad…Rollerbladers dizzing a rollerblader how naive.
    Gotta say skateboarders do this dizzing our own less…

    Anyhow agree whit METALSATAN:

    Metalsatan Says:

    December 2nd, 2006 at 12:05 pm
    yeah, we need way more hate!

    calm down kids, it’s just rollerblading. it’s everybodys personal decision to dress the way he likes it.

    Oli Short is a cool dude no matter which way he dresses.

    I Also wanna add comment of my own,No matter what he dresses I know he is good but in this old video Oli looks f*ckin FAT only because of the clothes that are XXXXXXXXXXXXXL.

    So good change Oli.(Just my opinion)

  32. razor_dave Says:

    this section is so old but is amazing

    the whole enigma video was amazing

    alan diche fakie backflip a 13 set

    i skate with alan alot and he is so sick

  33. sean wicks Says:

    i aint tryingto hate i love olli but he loosjk better then i mean every 1 changes i aint hating but i love that video

  34. milkybar kid Says:

    mabey he got bored of being the best and thought he would rather have fun skating?

    mon lad’s try a toeroll sometime,

    skullfuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  35. b Says:

    oli was toooo baggy back then! he was the 1st in england really to go tight so people say he doesnt skate as good now.
    but if you skate with oli when him and fray are on there hammer seshions then youl still see the old oli doing disaster fakie 7 tru miz ect but with the steez he has now! dont judge him cuz you dont like how he dresses!

  36. hueh Says:

    everyone is so quick to marginalize a skater for petty reasons. rollerblading, as a whole, still has some growing up to do. Its like you got 2 choices with the kids if your a pro, either wear baggy shit thats way to damn big for your own good(and always on the honkiest of all kids) or go skin tight and tone down your skating to toe rolls. if your gonna go baggy, dont get all mc hammer on us, look at murda and dre, they wear baggy but yet refrain from looking like a garbage bag. and the whole tight thing, what really bugs me about it is that most people dont know how to rock it with style, becuase they were just wearing old navy last week and DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT REAL ROCK-N-ROLL. ” oh, i’ll just get some of my sisters jeans(which you should never do, girl jeans arent made for guys, the hips are different and they flare out at the bottom like bell bottoms. GODDAMNIT, just buy strech jeans that were made for guys and stop looking like an asshat). i wear fitted jeans, but i dont go over board and look like an emo piece of shit. rock whatever style you choose proper, so you dont look like an asswipe. and yes, i fukin hate emo, and no oliver short is not emo( even though his song in the heat video was absolute shit)

  37. Inliner04 Says:

    frontflip out of southbank :O oh my god !!!!!!!!!! sick back then and still is now, no matter how he dresses

  38. Scott_Nairn Says:

    it’s fuckin crazy how every edit i watch on youtube that i think is strange, different or new, it turns up on rollernews. main example this, i watched it two days ago and BOOM!!! on rollernews today….

  39. Shawn Says:

    Half of you kids need to shut the hell up and go back to GRAMMAR school.
    liek sereusly dood lern 2 spel

  40. urbn^nja Says:

    i’ve been preaching about this “rollerblader-with-a-skateboarder-hate-rollerblader” perspective. This is all they ever do on rollernews. HATE HATE HATE. Never any valid reason. There is no thought put into comments. It’s amazing most of you still call yourselves rollerbladers. I thank you all haters for making our sport the way it has been for the longest while because of a stupid opinion. Can’t we ever get some facts???????? Oli you do what you do. tight or loose whatever Same sick skills.

  41. dizzy Says:

    i fuckin hate the word emo. He is not emo because he wears tight clothes. you guys are morons. do u even know what emo is?

  42. pete Says:

    fuk i regret readin all that.

    sooooooooooo fukn cliche

    the little fags tryin to stir shit.

    the older guys tryin to say meaningfull shit.

    get the fuk over it n stop writtin shit.not readin any forum shit on here again.

    shit.

  43. andy Says:

    i still just dont get why total gangster skaters turn emo? i just dont know

  44. andy Says:

    and im not baggin on “emo” skaters cause most of them are kick ass, i just hate the skaters that turn to “tech tricks”

  45. mr hankey Says:

    Okay now
    u guys are fags.
    and most of u are northamericans = pure idiots
    so don’t try any extreme actions like thinking
    so
    fuck
    off
    it’s so simple
    or just puke on the goddamn floor
    yeah

    have a fun day

    and yeah
    .

  46. DANIELSON Says:

    I don’t have a problem with one or two pros switching to tight pants. But why did all of them have to do it? All these guys following the same trends is going to make us a sterotype. I don’t want people to assume that I borrow my mom’s clothes just because I’m a rollerblader. It seems that the only bladers still rockin baggy clothes are gangsters and wangsters. I am neither. I am a punk rocker, but I refuse to wear tight clothes. I feel like an outcast in a society of outcasts.And this makes me sad =(

    And Mr.Hanky, it is not smart for you to generalize a whole population of people.I think you are the “pure idiot”. How smart would I sound if I said most black people are criminals ,or most Europeans are fags that wear tight pink clothes all the time. Even if that was my opinion,I would sound like a self rightgous asshole, just like you do. And I’m proud to be an American, just like you should be proud of whatever you are. peace

  47. DANIELSON Says:

    I know I’m gonna sound like a hater, but his style was awful. Someone with his talent should be able to land on both feet. He looked like he was about to fall on almost every landing. He did some very good stunts, but his sketchy landings made him look bad.sorry

  48. guillaume Says:

    first time i saw oli was on a crazyroller’s cov where he was doin’ a fishbrain stall with that pink cast, at first i thought he was bad ’cause of his sketchy landings and all but i eventually got to see face the music and i was blown away, he’s got so much originallity, so much awareness of what’s around him, oli’s good (if not a killer)

  49. Champ Says:

    I just dont like his style…no matter baggy ot tight clothes…..but yea the 450 royal was cool….and the tru porn look better with baggy clothes :)

  50. Dominik Says:

    omg this is Oli? :O

  51. wtf???? Says:

    damn he so good pros now arent as good as he was almost 5 years ago he really dosent need to lace this shit anymore wouldt u get bored of doing the same tricks 5 years strait.. and he also looks so retarded in this but hes always had nice style but it looks like he got into a bad fight with an extra large trash bag with the way he is dressed here

  52. wtf???? Says:

    yeah the only reason all u wangsters wear baggy clothes is to hide ur bitch gay stylewearing tighter clothes actually lets u see the trick and how t really looks so u have to perfect more. good edit of him though hes so fucking good its amazing

  53. wtf???? Says:

    yeah the only reason all u wangsters wear baggy clothes is to hide ur bitch gay stylewearing tighter clothes actually lets u see the trick and how t really looks so u have to perfect more. good edit of him though hes so fucking good its amazing

  54. wtf???? Says:

    very sick section… and rollerbladers arwent outcast retard im a rollerblader and i go out and party and fuck chicks…and also wear tight pants. wangsters get no pussy and when they do they get it from beat up chicks…oli short is sick and rollerbladers arent outcasts your just antisocial

  55. Juan from nor cal (fortunatefew1) Says:

    wow he hella went from one extream(baggyness) to the other(skin tight) i like both his styles minus the nasty long hair, but i wonder if he can still skate like that.

  56. andreas542 Says:

    best UK video ever

    ever.

    its a pity oli doesn’t do the same kinda tricks these days, used to love his skating

  57. lukeH Says:

    Reading all those replys allmost made me fall asleep.
    Get on and have fun skateing.

  58. GG ALLIN Says:

    Somebody come rape my asshole, PLEASE! Because now I feel like a homosexual retard asswipe with nothing better to do than waste my time on this website

  59. W.N.H 2 Says:

    what in the hell happened to the man. I mean He was so much better back then. He looked better with his style in baggy pants. I’ve got so many friends that skate in Girl pants and I don’t get it. Let girl pants be exactly that “Girl” pants. This fad will go out just like the Hammer Pants and the ever so stupid Spandex wearing Super hero look. I don’t wear pants that don’t fit me but I’d rather have baggy than tight. I can’t jump in tight nor can my nuts breathe.

  60. DANIELSON Says:

    wtf, who the fuck do you think you are? First off I,m not anti social, I fucked many a bitches including your ma. I made it a point not to hate on tight pants sissies like yourself but you had to call me out. Rollerbladers are as a whole “outcasts”. That doesnt mean that we dont have any friends you retard, it means we dont fit into society norms. Ofcourse I have friends, how else would I have got into blading you fucking narrow minded fool. I wear baggy clothes not because I’m a wangsta you pussy, it is because thats how I feel comfortable.Now you on the other hand are probly just following some trend to feel cool even though that will never happen.It is funny ,I’m neither gangster or wangster but if you found me and talked all that shit to my face I would thug you out terrible. You posing ass momma’s boy. And btw, the only bitches you hook up with are too drunk to defend themselves. That is called rape and it is illegal. I think it is funny that I try to leave tightpants guys alone but one had the nerve to call ME gay. I would say that you have some balls but I know that balls don’t fit into womens jeans.

  61. DANIELSON Says:

    I know I just pissed off alot of tight pants guys in here. But believe me when I say that the shit I said was’nt aimed at you unless your name is “wtf”. I don’t care what anyone wears. I had to strike back though, because the fool had to call me out , diss my clothes/style ,and call me a wangsta/homo. I don’t care what anydody in here wears, but don’t come at me with some bullshit because I don’t follow trends that I don’t like.

  62. Old and Bitter Says:

    Danielson you’re funny. I like you. Don’t thug me out.

  63. johnno Says:

    suck a slippery poo, all of you!

  64. Rooms! Says:

    Seems like Oli was better years before… Funny to see that guys who were wearin’ the more larger clothes now wear the more tighter clothes (Short, Farmer…). But we don’t have to care about it, the only important is their skatin’!! And Oli seamed better in that video than now… So show us what you can do Oli!!

    to mr hankey :)

    to wtf???? is partying and fuckin chicks your ideal of life? Are all girls only chicks to fuck for you? Sounds like you never did it, boy!! ;)

  65. chadwick Says:

    hey you stupid fuckers, OLI SHORT is a legend in rollerblading!!!and he has been skating for almost 20 YEARS!!! so fuk all you haters,,,he has done his fair share in tricks over the years and also his fair share of making new tricks and bringing the industry up a ton,,,,he has only now became a more inovative skater and instead of just skating he does other stuff for a lot of companies and is a big part in the industry and without OLI SHORT rollerblading wouldn’t be much!!!!!!!!

  66. chadwick Says:

    Danielson unlike you W.N.H actually knows what he is talking about and not just rambling on about some ass random shit like you are,,,you dont know much of nething and please everybody, its ok that you have a point of view about rolling and the style it has become but let people be who they are and quit ripping on them,,,just let ppl be ppl and stopping fuking up the industry,,,,and WNH you have a good point and your comment should be read!!

  67. pollo Says:

    man he was so gay back then man… he might have done way better tricks but so wat? he looked soooo gay man even worse than now.

  68. DarthRoller Says:

    The guy is sicker than everyone who has posted, whether you’re feelin’ his style or not.

    So what if he rolls creative now. Creative is still rollin’.

    Fact.

    If anyone has Enigma section, post ‘em. Enigma=sick.

  69. chadwick Says:

    ya,,,baggy clothes look good on only ppl who can rock them like actually ppl from the ghetto like new york,lol,,,alex nenez, he can rock baggy,,,ramel knight,,,he can rock baggy,,,ummm F.I.S.H,, he can rock baggy,,, MURDA,,he can rock baggy,,,and most ghetto skaters that actually grew up around shit like that look right with baggy, but these little rich kids who grew up in a huge ass house and nice clothes and new skates everytime there parents want to buy them for em,,they look gay with baggy,,,,so i guess whatever suits you:)

  70. adrien Says:

    oli come back to us, such a good edit, really better than your heat section!!!
    I don’t wanna talk about baggy or tight pants cause there is extrem in both of them, the thing is not to fall in the extrem.

  71. DANIELSON Says:

    Chadwick, I knew I would here from you again you tardbob.lol .I realize you did’nt like my comments, but guess what …They werent for you bro. I think it funny that you don’t like my rambling.But I really couldn’t care less what you think of my philosophies.But why did you compare me to W.N.H.? After all I was’nt dissing him ,I was dissing WTF. I was’nt quite sure were you were going with that. But anyways, I did like your point about rich white boys dressing ghetto. They shouldn’t it’s true. But you are not 100% right.There is a difference between dressing ghetto& dressing baggy. (ever heard of JNCO’s or baggy old navyor levi’s) And believe it or not there are alot of white kids that grew up in the ghetto(including me). I’m not trying to say I’m proud of that or anything ,but thats just how shit was. I grew up with baggy clothes so I feel I am entitled to wear them whenever I want. And like I said it isn’t really even ghetto clothes I wear, it’s usually loose versions of commonly “white” jeans. I hope this was informative. Skate hard .peace

  72. DANIELSON Says:

    Old and Bitter,thanx man. I think you are pretty funny too.I’m not sure how much I like your screenname, but hey to each their own ,right. I know that the “thug out” thing was kinda stupid but that dudes comments got a little under my skin ,considering I usually try too be polite to people with different opinions. And the way I was brought up, you don’t say or do things that you cant back up with your fists. It’s horrible i know.Anyways thanks for the support, seeing how I don’t see much of it around here. Skate hard .Peace.

  73. Scott W Says:

    Sick edit! Oli is a great roller regardless of the tights he wears now.
    I personally cannot wear tights due to genetics. You see my balls need room to adjust and that is what baggy pants allow. If I were to wear some 5th grader wrangler jeans I would end up in the hospital with a testicular injury. And just so everyone out ther knows, if your balls dont have room to adjust for a long enough period, you will get testicular cancer over time no matter how good you are.

  74. DANIELSON Says:

    testicular injury.HAHAHAHAHA! You kill me Scott W.Your humor is second to none.

  75. Scott Wilcoxson Says:

    thanks Danielson. I Just watched Broscow/Leading the Blind section w/spellbound full blown Siouxsie for the hundredth time. That is the sickest section ever made. The top soul on that yelllow drop rail looks and sounds like the fucking hammer of Thor!

  76. DANIELSON Says:

    Yeah Scott W, I’ve seen a few clips of LTB. It looks great, and I want to buy it.But, I have spent too much money lately on new frames, BlackMarket& ofcourse the much anticipated Barely Dead! Maybe sooner or later I will get the other movies I want(LTB, Killer boots,Accidental Machines,& the new Alex Broskow dvd).My video collection is growing rapidly! BTW, where are you from bro? You seem like such a chill dude, I might have to come hang someday on vacation.
    Skate hard, Live Hard. Peace

  77. carlos Says:

    sick im glad he changed styles he looks more like a person than a plop. yeah hes so good in this section he does way diff tricks now i like em both

  78. carlos Says:

    damn yeah i know fuck emo!!! its a good thing olis not emo though he sure did a good thing not wearing his moms dresses as shirts though. and being from new york dosnet make u “gangster”

  79. girley Says:

    December 5th, 2006 at 3:56 pm

    to wtf???? is partying and fuckin chicks your ideal of life? Are all girls only chicks to fuck for you? Sounds like you never did it, boy!! ;)

    Many guys here should STOP THINKING THAT EVERY GIRL IS SOME DAMN PUSSY!
    ITS SCHAUVANISTIC!!!

    Thank “god” for that there are some rare guys still who respect women! like ROOMS!
    OFCOURSE THERE IS “BITCHES” IN THIS WORLD who donot so much deserve respect but think how many male bitches also are in this world too u never diss those.

    So wanna say thanks for the few guys in this whole forum who always defends girls when some morans make stupid naive childish comments and alot of swearing.
    that is like a gentleman does!
    That kinda guys women like!
    AND I DONT MEAN DA BITCHES!

    Peace out.

  80. girley Says:

    btw I ment MANY women like the kinda men who are like gentlemen to clear the confusing end of my topic…

  81. delroca Says:

    baggy pants, tight pants, whatever. that section was full of a bunch of hammy’s.didn’t particularly care for the style but the tricks were sooooo fresh. I didn’t know that fool was that good.

  82. CAM Says:
