Former Shorty’s Skateboards pro Steve Olson, also known as Crazy Monk, recently shared a powerful life update that shows how far he’s come since his pro skating days.

October 2025 marks 17 years without marijuana, alcohol, cigarettes, or any kind of drugs.

He’s also been meat-free for 25 years and has gone almost a full year without coffee or tea.

Now nearing 50, Crazy Monk continues to live in a way that reflects discipline, clarity, and deep spirituality. While many remember him for his raw talent and wild personality during the height of his career, his lifestyle today shows a different kind of strength.

In an Instagram post, he credited his youthful appearance and outlook to spiritual and alchemical practices that focus on the body’s natural ability to sustain itself. He wrote about cultivating “physical immortality” and seeking “the internal GOD INTOXICATION, spiritual intoxication & the Amrita Ambrosia,” describing it as a sacred elixir that comes from within.

Crazy Monk’s message wasn’t just about sobriety or diet. It was about self-awareness and transformation. His words carry gratitude, sending love to his friends, fans, and all living beings.

“In Goddess We Trust,” he ended his post, a phrase that reflects his deep spiritual beliefs and commitment to living consciously.

From pro skater to spiritual soldier, Crazy Monk’s path is proof you can level up without losing your soul. Growth, focus, and staying true. That’s a powerful move right there!

Crazy Monk Posted:

"October 2025 marks 17 years No Marijuana, Alcohol, Cigarettes or drugs‼️Also: No meat for 25 years. No Coffee or Tea for almost 1 year.

I will be 50 years old next year.

If I look younger than my age , it's due to the Alchemical Spiritual practices I perform for the cultivation of Physical immortality.

I seek the internal GOD INTOXICATION, Spiritual intoxication & the Amrita Ambrosia (Elixer of immortality & Enlightenment) secreted by Mystically activated glands WITHIN the Human Body.

Sending Love to you all & to ALL Living Beings

Thank you ALL so much for Your Friendship❤️

IN GODDESS WE TRUST"
