For a dude that is known to have long stints of heavy drug use and not skating Dill always seems to come through with part after part and they never disappoint. Anyone who denies this is biased. Has there ever been a video that he just didnt come through in? I can think of countless pros especially in his age group that gave up on full parts and progression years ago, which isn't even a bad thing necessarily, its the norm. So honestly I think that makes Dill an even better skateboarder, the guy has put speed bump after speed bump in front of his career and still manages to pull through. I can only imagine how sick his Vans part will be with him being clean now. Sure he talks a lot of shit, has a somewhat annoying voice and is ultra hip...but that's Dill, he's one of the raddest,unique and entertaining characters in skateboarding.
I'm bummed him and Ave left the Workshop, but as you get older your priorities change and you want to do different things. I can understand that. They couldn't have been psyched on Dyrdek and the representation and affiliation of Workshop(I.e. street league/xgames, la jolla group etc), I mean that contradicts their vision of skateboarding and the Alien Workshop...so honestly it makes sense to me, but still came as a blow.
Im sure they are starting a new brand that they can fully represent on their terms. I just really hope they know what they're doing and make selective decisions from here on out. No one can deny that these are both legends and I hope they can find a way to preserve their legacy........
