So, as it turns out the Alien Workshop crew rolled through town packing such heavy hitters as Jason Dill,
Arto Sarri, Mikey Taylor, Grant Taylor, Dylan
Rieder, Tyler
Bledsoe with TM Chad Bowers and photographer from the Skateboard MAG, Rodent. Local destroyer David Langston was making his bones, skating live in front of some of the team for the first time. The TM was
siked on Davids skateboarding and so was
Arto, which gave me a sigh of relief. The demo was solid, with
Arto requesting the most 80's music we could play throughout the session. Everyone skated the event, we are not sure if it was the park itself being so inviting or if it was the fact that most of their "Mind Field" tour stops had been in-store signings up to our stop on their schedule. I do know that the team managed to pop out of the van after driving 12 hours from El
Paso with Dill throwing sparks on every feeble grind he did on the granite ledges. Grant Taylor picked up and NBD with a backside
ollie air from the smaller 6' quarter clear over the bank to wall and into the 8' quarter. It may have been the loudest roar I have heard all summer out of a spectating crowd. Of course, that's not to say that the crowds have not been into it at previous events because they have. Somehow after the demo, drinks and dinner at a nearby sports bar half the crew still wanted to go street skateboarding. Guru met up with us and proceeded to show us around town since he knew everyone better than David and I did. Looks like we ended up striking gold at this red bar spot, which Dill took a liking to. Rodent shot a great photo, which made him feel a lot better since he is under a lot of pressure to produce a featured tour article and possible cover oppurtunity for the Skateboard MAG by the conclusion of the trip.
Arto brought the Arri's while Cory the Alien
filmer and I filmed the clips. I doubt my stuff will get used but it was hard not to internally fan out on finally filming a Jason Dill clip and line as I had been a fan since his early video part in the A1 Meats Wheels video and have
eagerly anticipated the release of all videos he's been in ever since.
