Oli Tielsch has been a respected name in the European skate magazine scene, and globally, for decades. We're sorry to announce he's lost his battle with cancer.
As most recently he was the editor of Germany's Solo Skate Mag, Solo has ceased publication and changed its name to Bubble Skate Mag, and will carry on.
Our love and thoughts go out to Oli's friends and family. A few IG posts have been added below from those who knew him best.

A post from Oliver's family. "If you post photos or stories of Oli, feel free to tag him so we can save the pictures."

In memory of Oli Tielsch, Bubble Skate Mag will continue online and in print. Support them!
