You can buy Alien Workshop skateboards online at Revert 95. This legendary skateboard brand was founded in 1990 in Dayton, Ohio, by Chris Carter, Neil Blender, and Mike Hill. The trio started Alien Workshop because they sensed a need for a different kind of skateboarding company. The Ohio-based brand distinguished itself from the laidback vibe of many Californian skateboard brands with a wacky, cautionary message of paranoia and futurism. While other brands in the '90s capitalized on skateboarding's enormous popularity by focusing on the lowest common denominator, Alien Workshop stuck to its unique, abstract mission. Successfully, as the Workshop secured a solid market position among its Californian counterparts and grew into one of the most popular skateboard brands on the planet.
Team riders from Alien Workshop
These days, the iconic alien logo may not be as ubiquitous as it was in the '90s, but the brand is still going strong. The team alone, featuring established rippers like Sammy Montano, Franky Spears, and Joey Guevara, proves the brand is still a force to be reckoned with. Rob Dyrdek is certainly a key figure in the company's history.
Alien Workshop skater-owned again
He was AW's first team rider in the early '90s and stunned the skateboarding world in 2012 by taking over the brand that gave him his first sponsorship contract over twenty years earlier from Burton Snowboards, which had bought the company from Chris Carter in 2008. So Alien Workshop is skater-owned again. Although the company has changed hands several times, the brand continues to do what it does best: manufacture high-quality skateboards and products and send a quirky message to the world. Alien Workshop keeps skateboarding weird.
