Skateboarding meets David Lynch in this 44-minute fever dream.
The first Alien Workshop video stands as one of the trippiest skate videos ever made, and arguably the company's most influential. At times the video feels more like an avant-garde visual experiment than something made to spotlight the gnar shredding of Bo Turner, Rob Dyrdek and other Workshop riders.
Cinematography
16mm footage that looks like it was buried in dirt first.
Editing
Choppy, disorienting cuts that reject every skate video formula.
Direction
Alien Workshop's entire aesthetic DNA starts here.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This video basically invented the 'skate video as art film' aesthetic that Palace and others still crib today.
Rob Dyrdek was just a teenager here, years before he became MTV's skate dad.
