Before we get into the meat and potatoes gentlemen. I'd really like to take this time to talk about
some of the past team riders and future marketing development. After we cross examine a few, let's go back and study the review questions before starting the final draft. Let's start off with Tyler Bledsoe. He's from
Oregon and his parents divorced when he was 6. He got a skateboard around then and entered tampa
am when he was 11. His style, technique, and consistency have gotten him numerous video parts including
his Mind Field part in which his skating was matched to a thom yorke Modeselektor song called the white flash
which really brought out the development and overall being of the 2008 blockbuster hit. Since then Tyler has been
taking it easy. Feeding the cat and going grocery shopping are high on his list. Second off we have a Jason Dill who
actually went off and started his own company called Fuckin Awesome. With controversial graphics such as black jesus
and black woman with hankerchief, we have really gotten in depth to the mind of an aging skateboarder. His daily life includes buying coffee and cigarettes, skating to lockwood(close footing) and pigeon toed. over the years he's seemed to build an immunity
to the corporate machine and strict life code on the tv guide broadcasting system. Third off we have a Anthony Van Engelen.
Anthony was raised in Virginia and was taught to believe that the white race was the dominant race as well. His father would
drive him to the masons temple and let him skate in the parking lot. Anthony eventually became hooked to the act of skateboarding
and moved to california to try out his new talent. When he got there he met a few strange faces and became a drug user. After weeks of abuse and no sleep he got clean and vowed himself completely to skateboarding. He called his sponsors that day and told them to
meet him at Rincon so he could finish some business. Next we have an Omar Salazar, he was raised in Lake Minitaunka and enjoys a proper wheat crust with his cream cheese. He started skating as a child and quickly got scooped up by Stacy Peralta. They toured the country and in every city he went he stacked clips. That would eventually be his First Love footage. Unfortunately during the filming, omar stubbed his pinky toe and it never has healed. he talks about it in the Mind Field extras. Next off Josh Kalis, Josh is a simple man, a man who enjoys walking through nature,feeding birds,and fixing up the trails right above his house. He was raised in Philadelphia, and was a wholesome school boy until he found his first skateboard. His parents didn't approve so they sent him to Military School where he learned how to tie knots and catch fish. When he got out 4 years later he went back to Philly to skate and
because of his training he would skate all through the night, all day long, no stopping, no eating for years. It wasn't until he met Bill Strobeck that he started smoking weed and eventually sitting down on occasion. Together they filmed video parts and tagged teamed girls all the way to California where Josh got really into LSD and started talking to himself. these days you can find him out in the woods behind los angeles. Talking to himself, with a glimmer of light in his right eye. Next off we have Mikey taylor. Mikey is a suave man. He was raised in Nova Scotia where he learned to fight Japanese tanks and eat pretzels. Unfortunately under the immigration rule 607 we cannot tell you anything more of his backround. Next off heath Kirchart. heath was an all american child. He played baseball, he played cowboys and Indians with the other children. That is, until the day he got a skateboard. It's weird, that somethings in life have a magnetic hold on you, somethings really reach out grab you, and never let you go. He wouldn't come home at night, wouldn't go to church. His pastor thought he was possessed so they baptized him and nothing worked. These days you can find him shopping on Fashion island, eating pinkberry, instagramming, and fighting Asian women. Now that we have gotten a little backround on some of the team riders. What can we learn about the future of AWS?
Will we be expecting another full length?
Will Mike Hill be involved?
At what age does smoked gouda become invaluable?
During this resurrection can we expect B roll footage and Electronic music?
Who else can we expect on the team?
Will the molds and genres transition well with the new brand?
Thanks for your time guys. I'll be in the Photos/video thread if you need me.

DGKalis how do you feel about all this seeing as how you were on alien?
Why would anyone be shocked that they're returning? Dyrdek has one of th emost marketable names from MTV and there is money to be made. You think they would just sit back and let all those logos collect dust?Or maybe since they ran into financial trouble last time, their starring out with a stripped down company without having to pay a bunch big name pros before they even see a profit. This Alien as a "small board company"
Kinda feels like exhuming the dead but I guess we'll see. That none of the team is coming back speaks pretty poorly about it tho, I have to admit.
Most of the team wasn't getting paid before the company went under, and I don't think they'd be concerned with a paycheck if they were super down for the return of AWS. Instead, it seems like most of the remaining team is focused on Mother. It's not looking good...Maybe they didnt want to not be able pay them again, skate careers are short, and maybe they didnt wanna be ina position to not get paid again
if they fuck this up i'll never forgive them.what do they owe you again exactly?
As long as Hill and Carter are at the helm it will be a good thing. Hears to The Sovereign Sect in 2015.

there was nothing to show that your comment was facetious. people have already said similar shit, why should i assume youre joking?there's nothing to show it wasn't humorous either, hence my pointing out that you made a grand assumption. further, what would anyone else's comments have to do with mine? we are all individuals here.
edit: why wouldnt you just say you were joking after my first response?
yes, taking something at face value is a grand assumption. good point.HOLY FUCK YOU'RE THE WORST PERSON IN THIS SHIT HOLE, FOCUS YOUR LIFE.
yes, taking something at face value is a grand assumption. good point.the 'grand' part comes from your reading into it. hence it going beyond face value. but your sarcasm just goes to show that you're sore about it.
edit: obviously the point about other people's comments was to show that it was easy to confuse your facetious comment for a legitimate one, and one might want to avoid doing that sort of thing in order to avoid shitty needless interactions.
Has there ever been a successful relaunch of a company?1. plan b
As much as I love the old AWS, just leave it and move on...
aww that's cute. your frustration is making you resort to name calling. how endearing.man you already repeatedly insulted me, and you started this shit by intentionally deceiving me after it was clear i didnt realize you were joking.
you don't have to say you made an assumption to actually make an assumption! haha that is absolutely ridiculous! you gotta do better my man. you did assume i was making an entitled statement. duh. we already went over this. the intelligent way to go about it would be to realize that the face value of words are meaningless, rather context and intent are everything. and if you don't know for sure what the context or intent of one's statement may be, then either seek clarification or give it the benefit of the doubt or just leave it alone.
or you could just jump to a conclusion and make an ass out of yourself. then you can make an even bigger ass out of yourself by showing you're a sore loser.
p.s. stop digging yourself into a hole man. none of this would have ever happened if you didn't project that bad attitude my way. lighten up. it's a new year. let's make it positive. besides, we should be making up conspiracy theories instead of having this pointless argument.
like i said previously, you didn't deserve a sincere answer since you didn't ask a sincere question. if you had been sincere you wouldn't have gotten set up like that. but you refuse to take responsibility for the initial interjection of condescension, and, amusingly, you don't like dealing with the repercussions of it either.man you already repeatedly insulted me, and you started this shit by intentionally deceiving me after it was clear i didnt realize you were joking.Expand Quoteaww that's cute. your frustration is making you resort to name calling. how endearing.

ive already explained why the context suggested you could easily be serious, dont give me that bullshit lesson on words.
if you think that it is completely ridiculous that someone would say "ill never forgive them" for potentially ruining aws, you need to spend more time on this site. there is no reason for me to assume you were kidding.
statements generally are treated as literal unless you are given a reason to assume otherwise. you gave no reason.

Chad Bowers is heading up 'Mother' with Gilbert, Jake, Tyler and Omar and has no affiliation with the new Alien Workshop.
Expand QuoteIf Powell and Santa Cruz, whom haven't been relevant since the late 80s, can still sell boards then Alien can certainly comeback. This small company thing will cannibalize itself soon enough. 13 year old kids that pay full price for decks don't care about Gilbert's (or Olson's, or Dill's, or Alv's) micro hipster board brand.[close]
I wouldn't be so sure on a comeback based on the history of those companies. Santa Cruz whored themselves out with soft goods; Alien already tried that and it didn't work.
Look at some of the (IG) figures related to these newer brands: Polar has almost 100K followers (I couldn't believe it either). Enjoi has about the same amount, and Alien only has 2/3s of that. Polar isn't going anywhere, and may not even be considered small anymore. FA hasn't posted a single photo, yet they have 10K followers. Then there are the smaller brands who have strong support in their local area. If Mother is going to be based out of Ohio, what chance does Alien have?
Even so, it all boils down to how everything is run behind the scenes.

Polar is by no means 'micro' in fact I'd say it's rise to popularity was faster than Palace. It is arguably the best selling board brand in most European countries and Britain. Your 13 year old demographic that supposedly pays full price for boards does not exist here. They will either spend the least amount possible or they will be extremely brand loyal and pay what they have to.
Excuse the pun but the situation is completely polarised big brands will exist if they have the financial backing of big business just becaus e they can, but currently 'small' brands are doing well because the consumer has become more conscious , and thanks to the Internet, able to purchase what they want ~exactly~ with absolutely no compromise. If Alien returns it may do well I agree that it's legacy is strong and most importantly held incredible dear by all but you cannot fight excitement and mystery when your core market is jaded and often bored with what already exists.

Before we get into the meat and potatoes gentlemen. I'd really like to take this time to talk about
some of the past team riders and future marketing development. After we cross examine a few, let's go back and study the review questions before starting the final draft. Let's start off with Tyler Bledsoe. He's from
Oregon and his parents divorced when he was 6. He got a skateboard around then and entered tampa
am when he was 11. His style, technique, and consistency have gotten him numerous video parts including
his Mind Field part in which his skating was matched to a thom yorke Modeselektor song called the white flash
which really brought out the development and overall being of the 2008 blockbuster hit. Since then Tyler has been
taking it easy. Feeding the cat and going grocery shopping are high on his list. Second off we have a Jason Dill who
actually went off and started his own company called Fuckin Awesome. With controversial graphics such as black jesus
and black woman with hankerchief, we have really gotten in depth to the mind of an aging skateboarder. His daily life includes buying coffee and cigarettes, skating to lockwood(close footing) and pigeon toed. over the years he's seemed to build an immunity
to the corporate machine and strict life code on the tv guide broadcasting system. Third off we have a Anthony Van Engelen.
Anthony was raised in Virginia and was taught to believe that the white race was the dominant race as well. His father would
drive him to the masons temple and let him skate in the parking lot. Anthony eventually became hooked to the act of skateboarding
and moved to california to try out his new talent. When he got there he met a few strange faces and became a drug user. After weeks of abuse and no sleep he got clean and vowed himself completely to skateboarding. He called his sponsors that day and told them to
meet him at Rincon so he could finish some business. Next we have an Omar Salazar, he was raised in Lake Minitaunka and enjoys a proper wheat crust with his cream cheese. He started skating as a child and quickly got scooped up by Stacy Peralta. They toured the country and in every city he went he stacked clips. That would eventually be his First Love footage. Unfortunately during the filming, omar stubbed his pinky toe and it never has healed. he talks about it in the Mind Field extras. Next off Josh Kalis, Josh is a simple man, a man who enjoys walking through nature,feeding birds,and fixing up the trails right above his house. He was raised in Philadelphia, and was a wholesome school boy until he found his first skateboard. His parents didn't approve so they sent him to Military School where he learned how to tie knots and catch fish. When he got out 4 years later he went back to Philly to skate and
because of his training he would skate all through the night, all day long, no stopping, no eating for years. It wasn't until he met Bill Strobeck that he started smoking weed and eventually sitting down on occasion. Together they filmed video parts and tagged teamed girls all the way to California where Josh got really into LSD and started talking to himself. these days you can find him out in the woods behind los angeles. Talking to himself, with a glimmer of light in his right eye. Next off we have Mikey taylor. Mikey is a suave man. He was raised in Nova Scotia where he learned to fight Japanese tanks and eat pretzels. Unfortunately under the immigration rule 607 we cannot tell you anything more of his backround. Next off heath Kirchart. heath was an all american child. He played baseball, he played cowboys and Indians with the other children. That is, until the day he got a skateboard. It's weird, that somethings in life have a magnetic hold on you, somethings really reach out grab you, and never let you go. He wouldn't come home at night, wouldn't go to church. His pastor thought he was possessed so they baptized him and nothing worked. These days you can find him shopping on Fashion island, eating pinkberry, instagramming, and fighting Asian women. Now that we have gotten a little backround on some of the team riders. What can we learn about the future of AWS?
Will we be expecting another full length?
Will Mike Hill be involved?
At what age does smoked gouda become invaluable?
During this resurrection can we expect B roll footage and Electronic music?
Who else can we expect on the team?
Will the molds and genres transition well with the new brand?
Thanks for your time guys. I'll be in the Photos/video thread if you need me.
Feel free to PM me also.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally regular.

Lastly, I love Alien to pieces but it's time is done. It's been done, and it's dissolution, however awkward and unplanned, was good timing. Mike Hill was the Peter Sidlauskas of '89, introducing contemporary and popular art aesthetics to skateboarding as "new", and it's like if "from the people that brought you Bronze Hardware" tried to start an avante grade skateboard hardware company in 2040.

Being in my early 20s and not seeing many skate videos when I started, I never got the hype about AWS. I always thought the graphics were corny and kiddish. Present day, I like the older videos, but I still don't like the graphics. Those new ones are basically the same as the old stuff I didn't like.

Short story, Pendleton was cranking out quality series. Team guys were asking for Pendleton artwork. Hill decided he didnt like the direction AWS was going. It was going in the Pendleton direction. Pendleton was an artist, Hill was founder. Hill wanted him gone. Short story.
Everyone on here saying '2014 was the Year of the Small Brand' I just feel like maybe, just maybe more than a few of these loved small brands figured they would be appealing directly to the AWS type of skater.
I also feel like the whole Alien relaunch is happening in part to people on here complaining and crying about how much they love(d) the brand and how lame it is the way everything went down.
I don't think its a reach to say that most of the AWS fans are artsy skaters who have an eye ...that being said, if you, the artsy guy, had to choose between buying a Workshop board next week or say, a Magenta, which would you pick?
Shit is so over saturated these days, there's really not much room for these guys to come back in like this and delve back into the niche market. Am I crazy for thinking this?
Steve Durante was fully on habitat back then
The only thing that ruins Alien's return is Mother. If Chad hadn't taken all the other members then Alien's return would be fine and in a few months everyone would forget they ever left. I think its funny that Dill and AVE said they didn't want to take anyone from Alien except Terp and that they never wanted Alien to go under but then their old TM kind of fucks over Mike and Alien by stealing the whole remaining team (steal is probably harsher than what really happened though).
Alien was gone for a what a year? Habitat was gone for about six months? Considering how long they've been around and how large of an impression they've made I think that time away isn't that big of deal in the long run. Too many people are living in internet time I think. I've seen more shit from former Alien guys than a lot of current pros. A lot brands might as well go on a year long hiatus because they don't contribute shit. The only thing that ruins Alien's return is Mother.

I think mother will be great based on the team alone but Alien's future is kind of up in the air now. I think the graphics will always have their share of people enjoying them (somebody is buying all those Girl OG logo boards). This new Alien could be great but I have a feeling an all am team won't last long and it will eventually just turn into an artistic outlet for Mike Hill. Personally I think without the old team that would be the best option; for Alien to be to Mike kind of what Hook-Ups is to Jeremy Klein. Just a creative outlet made for whoever wants it. If the new team doesn't work out then I say either kill it or make it a sort of art brand. Also, yes I'm a little bitter because I grew up with the brand. Alien might end up the new world industries after all and nobody wants that.
I've bought and paid for in full 3 of steve durante's pro boards since he jumped ship
alien won't become the next world industries and you can thank tum yeto for that
ed probably won't ever draw a graphic for them either

Didn't Alien Ts become super popular amongst non skaters around that time? I kinda remember not being that hyped on them.....yeah that was in the mid 90s, when the rave scene was super big and it bled over into pop culture, it seemed to stem from their being a lot of these ravish culture stores carrying skate stuff, Alien always seemed to be the biggest seller at those places. Thomas Taylor told me in those days that Workshop was doing mid 80s Powell type numbers, that was also the same time that most of the pro team besides Dyrdek and John Drake weren't even skating, the beginning of Fred Gall, Kalis, Lennie Kirk era. I know in New Orleans at least everyone that started skating in that time got a Workshop board as their first complete, i don't even think they were going by Alien Workshop then it was almost always The Workshop.

When HOPPS started they had a shape, must have been a one-off, that was 8.25 x 31. For awhile after that I looked everywhere for a wider boards that were that short ..closed thing I could ever find was a Dan Drehobl shape that was like 8.125 x 31. I've seen come to terms with wide boards being 31.5" at the very least.

I missed the days of ravers rocking AWS gear but looking back it's pretty funny how in the early 2000s Indy/Spitfire were the precursors to No Fear / Monster logos. I feel like every jock or redneck I'd see had a huge Spitfire sticker on his truck, or rocked an Independent t-shirt.
And then it was DC gear for a little bit that became the skate cross-over

SFB - the Hexmark is a raised embossing on the top and bottom ply in the shape of a hexagon nut. And like Spaced said, FA is using the same applique on their boards.

I just set up the believe board. Haven't skated it yet, but holy shit... I knew it was tapered down to the tail when I was looking at it in the shop, but it's almost a full inch. At least 3/4. I have 5.8 Ventures on it and I feel like I could totally put an old 5 on the back and be cool with it... Popped a couple carpet tricks, going to be a fun one.Sounds sick.

being a hipster company killed them once. they can't come back and do the same thing an expect it to workyou mean the whole pacific vector thing was made up? wow. i look forward to your future insights.
to whoever was hating on DNA boards, i agree entirely. i cant stand that big steep nose.This was exactly what I liked about Alien boards. I could see why people didn't care for them though.
i would have ridden a bunch more alien boards in my life if they didnt have that nose.
Unfortunately, Alien lost its touch before it died because of all the investors that were involved. I don't think people should hate on the resurgence because it's going to be a lot more hands on with the dudes running it. I think it could still be dope.with the way things were going with Workshop after everyone left and the overall look/feel of the company they needed to die for a moment. Cause with a resurgence they can kinda come back and be anything you know? Somewhat of a fresh start to really take things back and move away from how the company was right before it died.
