This closing part from the 2000 Alien Workshop vid is regarded as one of the great, seamless blends of skating, filming, editing, and music. Spanky introduces a true classic.
The fist time I saw this part, when he walked down the stairs, I thought "I didn't know you were allowed to do that in a skate video." Then I realized that there weren't rules, you could skate however you felt! Thanks Jason, Alien Workshop, for opening my eyes.
@@bobbybeausoleigh7778 that's ridiculous. Street kids rebeled so other street kids imitated them and then people realized they could make money off that. It's human nature. But yeah we ARE disgusting
Street skating was created because everyone wanted to be like Tony Hawk but most people have zero access to vert. That's so freaking obvious. Also noone encouraged street skating they fought it with architecture built in to cities to stop skating and treated skaters like vandalism and breaking and entering and trespassing. There's not some evil Illuminati meeting saying we have to make more scumbag skaters. Your confusing the NFL
I used to ride Workshop back in the day, But i also skated BOOM skateboards. An old brand that used to be in New Zealand. The old Alien decks were sick.
Even though my first skateboard was a mongoose from toys r us and then a world industries complete, I always loved alien and habitat graphics since I was playing with their tech decks 😂
I honestly lived for this part! Maybe it was the tunes or being 10 but when the dill gave me a set of wheels for helping him drag the box back to the rental opposite Melbourne imax Melbourne. it made my year, Radiohead and dill are still the greatest 20 years later! And skateboarding still rules and saved my life
I remember this time, when it came out. i was 13-14, leaving childhood, starting live. first joints, first booze, first girls, first broken boards and broken hearts. thanks to the waveless surfers in the 50s for inventing skateboards, thanks AWS for the soundtrack of m life. Greets from Germany & KEEP ROLLIN'
This video shaped my view on skateboarding and every few years I'll go back and watch it and it'll put me right back into that feeling I had the first time I watched it. It's a magical thing. And I liked how back then the tricks were simple but still looked cool. Today you have to be willing to jump 236 stairs to be considered good.
Ran into Jason Dill out in Fairfax Cali near the Supreme store a couple years ago when I made my first trip out West. Hooked me up with a handshake. He will always be a legend.
Jason Dill is Radical! This video makes me feel alive, and thinking back should have never stopped skating due to being broken, should have pushed, pushed and pushed and flew straight. We are energy and are made to keep moving on a positive level.
"I think it's more me being more uh flamboyantly extravagantingly uh ...? Uh I don't know, maybe I am that fucked up, but I'm not thinking I am...". Haha I love Dill 🎉😅
I think this was such a different part and one that really stuck with me because so much of skateboarding was fixated on handrails at that time. It was really refreshing not to see back to back handrails
Man, to this day then UC ledges are no joke. There was a big crack before the first step that made hitting the ledge even gnarlier. Only him, Gall, and a handful of Cincy guys hit that thing. Respect.
That's SO cool. Emotions. Expression. Connection. It reminds me of Jason Dill's part in photosynthesis. The cool vintage fx in the background reminded me of the Radio Head track like Polyethylene or something. I actually just watched one of your mastering tutorials today where you shared a secret likeness for slight "clipping" distortion!
I was at the premier for this here in philly circa 2000 with him and wenning and everybody. Tim o connor was the emcee i remember he was making fun of Kalis. " sorry josh kalis bought a new chain and is on lockdown" 😂 I loved radiohead then and now so i was psyched most of us shit all over the trick selection like the slow mo pyramid footy... looking back now 23 years later this is soo amazing and aged well.
“Carter, it is fucking Friday, the fucking 10th! “ Ever since I had this video on vhs back in the day, I think of this line when it’s Friday the 10th. That Orange vhs tape went hard as fuck!!!
I love this part always have, I remember seeing it in 2001 I believe in a skateshop in the mall for the first time. I had to have an alien workshop after.
I was born in 87 and I started skateboarding in the ninety's through the 00s and I just realized I was in the best period for skateboarding.. now eight year olds are doing hardflips and switch 360 flips.. I just don't accept the new influence of skateboarding now I acknowledge it and respect it but my years were the best.
DC in the 90’s. .... oh shit! Josh brought the team to Dallas and shit got tore up! That clip of Dill at the famous Fair Park up ledge is dope. That ledge pops you out like an Ollie and he switch tailed it like butter.
Whenever someone praises the creativity or style of this vid, others accuse them of saying skating today sucks, and whenever someone says skating has progressed, they get accused of not liking this video. Progression is inevitable, and while its happening you don't see it until later. Style and creativity are what makes dill who he is, not his stair count, so that is what will be remembered as classic. In my opinion very few unstylish skaters are remembered for long, or can someone suggest one?
The first time I saw this part I was in an attic and someone muted the tv during the intro by sitting on the remote. We were so blazed that we thought we were in a time warp.
I remember meeting this dude at Supreme in New York in like 2003. I had no idea until later who he was but he started asking me why I had on etnies instead of DVS haha
He was killing it during this time. Plus he was never that into crack, he embellishes and over exaggerates his past use. To be honest, AVE had a much bigger crack/speed problem than Dill ever did. He just doesn’t find the need to constantly talk/glamorize it.
people dont realize that there is a part of the skateboarding world that cares more about style than doing the hardest tricks imaginable
Preach
“It’s not about the tricks, it’s the way you do them.” - Phelper
Yep, somehow just walking down the stairs mid line was enough to make me wanna go skate
aka dill sucks
These are hard tricks
The fist time I saw this part, when he walked down the stairs, I thought "I didn't know you were allowed to do that in a skate video." Then I realized that there weren't rules, you could skate however you felt! Thanks Jason, Alien Workshop, for opening my eyes.
That's the entire reason street skating was created to make kids rebel it's actually disgusting

Rocking Supreme before the dopeheads climbed on
its funny cus supreme x mike hill today
music is music, don't fucking complain. it doesn't matter why you listen to somthing or how/when you found out about it. just listen and enjoy
Before there were fashion bricks 😂
supreme is wack
Yibin Mu That’s honestly what you took away from this part? A Supreme shirt? Not the skating, or the editing, or the spots?
God...the golden era of skating
no fucking rules then
no olympics no SLS
just skateboarding
I'd say it's the 80's. You could do one trick at a time. Skating wasn't cool yet. Even less rules. Tricks like the Lance Mountain.
Yeah. Im gratefull i got to experience it first hand.
Miguel Meyers that how I feel the skateboarding in my blood
crack😩
Alien workshop especially in this era, was just something else. The graphics, the video/s. Golden era
My first 'real' board was the three alien board, cadillac trucks and 40 mm Spitfire wheels. Christmas 1992
I used to ride Workshop back in the day, But i also skated BOOM skateboards. An old brand that used to be in New Zealand. The old Alien decks were sick.
FLIP/Birdhouse/AWS.
Workshop was untouchable in this era.
Even though my first skateboard was a mongoose from toys r us and then a world industries complete, I always loved alien and habitat graphics since I was playing with their tech decks 😂
"you couldn't even walk down them stairs that good."-sumone told me when this came out when he walks down the stairs
ponteus mcgurt haha I could hear someone saying that back then. Prolly holding a bowl of weed while saying it and blowing out smoke.the 90s were wild.
Didn't bill strobeck said that?
doesn't make any sense really does it?
I honestly lived for this part! Maybe it was the tunes or being 10 but when the dill gave me a set of wheels for helping him drag the box back to the rental opposite Melbourne imax Melbourne. it made my year, Radiohead and dill are still the greatest 20 years later!

Man I have this shit on VHS!
How far you have come Macie
Macie Jay same
Wait you skate I only watch your siege videos
hi macie

When people say crack never did anything good I show them a Jason dill part
Show them Jason Dill now...
@@OGecalien yeah he still rips
And owns an extremely profitable skate company.... etc.
Yeah he is bald now.@@OGecalien
I remember this time, when it came out. i was 13-14, leaving childhood, starting live. first joints, first booze, first girls, first broken boards and broken hearts. thanks to the waveless surfers in the 50s for inventing skateboards, thanks AWS for the soundtrack of m life. Greets from Germany & KEEP ROLLIN'
Wow same here dude.
A true classic. In all respects: unique music, character and style. Spanky has good taste!
+Sam O'd Preach it brother.
I fell in love with Radiohead because of this!
eastnewyorka22 me too! It took me so long to find this song too! At the time that this came out the song was a b side I believe.
One of the most iconic & memorable videos & part by Dill & the rest of the team. Pure skateboard classic👍
😢😢😢🎉
Dill was the homeless dude living at Ozzy's house in episode 8 of "The Osbournes"
just went back and watched that. AVE and Tim Gavin make quick appearances
Ha I forgot about that
This video shaped my view on skateboarding and every few years I'll go back and watch it and it'll put me right back into that feeling I had the first time I watched it. It's a magical thing. And I liked how back then the tricks were simple but still looked cool. Today you have to be willing to jump 236 stairs to be considered good.
So true
You're good if you have style. Nothing else matters.
Ran into Jason Dill out in Fairfax Cali near the Supreme store a couple years ago when I made my first trip out West. Hooked me up with a handshake. He will always be a legend.
Mylon Decker im always hooking people up with handshakes
Thats not a hookup lol
One of the greatest parts ever. Its not up for debate.
GoSkateboarding Everyday wtf
Loved this part when it dropped and love it now 100 years later
Jason Dill is Radical! This video makes me feel alive, and thinking back should have never stopped skating due to being broken, should have pushed, pushed and pushed and flew straight. We are energy and are made to keep moving on a positive level.
I like the edition of this video. Too ahead of its time.
The last kick flip in slow mo with the edit looks so good! I get the chills
"I think it's more me being more uh flamboyantly extravagantingly uh ...? Uh I don't know, maybe I am that fucked up, but I'm not thinking I am...". Haha I love Dill 🎉😅
this is one of the best classics ive seen, the music fits perfectly, AWESOME!
Carter, ITS fucking friday, the fucking 10th.
Whoever was involved in this whole segment from beginning to end was genius.
I miss this era of skateboarding. Today is cool too but this was such a great era.
still my favorite skate video besides fulfill the dream. brings back memories of some of the best days I've ever had.
Fulfill the dream and this are the first two skate vids I watched as a kid. They hold a special place in my life
i remember going into my local skate shop and seeing that the VHS arrived, I think I staid there the whole day watching it on and on again ....
I love this celebration of life and the song is straight epic and I use that word when it's appropriate. lol love seeing the video.
I was fukin born in 2000 this is my birth video man and its a sick one thank god
81 life i was 14
this is amazingly artsy. it even features a bonus track from OK Computer
+Nick Do you know what music it is right at the end? Is that Polythene as well?
its a song by the band Tortoise. Not sure which one- either off the album TNT or Standards
goldenmonkeycolor
Thanks, some YouTubing coming up...
My God!! It's mind-blowing how a powerful song can turn a video part into timeless!!! Of course Dill is amazing too.
You don't know how much i'm inspired to work even harder at getting my ollie down then when I hear stuff like this yo thank you.
I return and watch this part every year. Art in motion and legendary
I think this was such a different part and one that really stuck with me because so much of skateboarding was fixated on handrails at that time. It was really refreshing not to see back to back handrails
I love this. It gives such a unique feeling, for me
Man, to this day then UC ledges are no joke. There was a big crack before the first step that made hitting the ledge even gnarlier. Only him, Gall, and a handful of Cincy guys hit that thing. Respect.
This was always one of my favorites. The music with his style is perfect.
I remember when this part first came out at my local skate shop there was 20 or more of us in there just glued to the TV
The phycologist intro is so good. Who else misses when skateboarding had a personality?
Stu that’s not a psychologist. I’m pretty sure that’s the owner of Alien.
It’s Chris Carter, owner of the Workshop. The photo of the guy in the suit, sitting at the desk, is not him however. It’s a stock photo
Anti hero videos are still good
One of my favorite skateboard video parts of all time and one of my favorite skater Jason Dill he's just that Guy Truly Legendary.
That's SO cool. Emotions. Expression. Connection. It reminds me of Jason Dill's part in photosynthesis. The cool vintage fx in the background reminded me of the Radio Head track like Polyethylene or something. I actually just watched one of your mastering tutorials today where you shared a secret likeness for slight "clipping" distortion!

This is my favorite video part of all time. Dill went so hard for this!
My very first VHS skateboarding vid. This was my favourite part. Can’t believe dill got on the ozbournes after this.
I Would give my left testicle for a copy of that Orange Photosynthesis VHS..Hands down,one of thee best videos ever made by man.
I saw in a skate shop for the first time and I thought it was the coolest thing ever
I had the Dill photosynthesis deck for Xmas 02 been looking for one ever since it was gorgeous.
I remember this and the City Stars video being in heavy rotation back then.
“Carter, it is fucking Friday, the fucking 10th! “ Ever since I had this video on vhs back in the day, I think of this line when it’s Friday the 10th. That Orange vhs tape went hard as fuck!!!
I still have my orange vhs copy 😊
I thought to myself 2 days ago, "if I had to choose a classic, I'd choose Dill's Alien Workshop ending part" and here it is! Perfect!
I love this part always have, I remember seeing it in 2001 I believe in a skateshop in the mall for the first time. I had to have an alien workshop after.
Soo good... One of the best song/video part combinations in skateboarding..fucking classic!
One of the best to ever do it, introduced by another of the best to ever do it
LOVE this video but never thought this part was epic
i am starting to think that this is the only skateboarding channel i have ever needed to be subscribed to. thanks Thrasher!
I still have VHS of this reminds me of some good ol days of skating. Idk it just seemed so much more mellow back then.
I was born in 87 and I started skateboarding in the ninety's through the 00s and I just realized I was in the best period for skateboarding.. now eight year olds are doing hardflips and switch 360 flips.. I just don't accept the new influence of skateboarding now I acknowledge it and respect it but my years were the best.
DC in the 90’s. .... oh shit! Josh brought the team to Dallas and shit got tore up! That clip of Dill at the famous Fair Park up ledge is dope. That ledge pops you out like an Ollie and he switch tailed it like butter.
The term Classic is such an abused word, defining whatever, but Dill in this part is "CLASSIC" - HANDS DOWN!!!
This Part Was So Clean
Polyethylene (Parts 1 & 2)" by Radiohead
polyurethane would've been a more appropriate title.
Love this. Such a style lesson.
Whenever someone praises the creativity or style of this vid, others accuse them of saying skating today sucks, and whenever someone says skating has progressed, they get accused of not liking this video.

the best classics ever
Bruh that fattt bump to gap over the double trash can. What a ender this man could skate shout out Dill 🖤
Met Jason Dill and skated with him at Pier 7 once.
Very nice but slightly strange guy.
RIP ALIEN WORKSHOP
Rip? Idk about that. Team is solid in 2019
They still around Dylan used to be in Alien.
Barristan Selmy the original workshop died. It got restarted tho
@@izzybizzy9589 At the time of this comment, they were out of business.
sick! saw him skate in person yesterday
jason dill fits so well with supreme its like he just has a special something about him
GAF
I remember meeting this dude at Supreme in New York in like 2003. I had no idea until later who he was but he started asking me why I had on etnies instead of DVS haha
been waiting forever for this to get put up as a classic
I can't believe it's been 12 years since this came out.
Maestro de maestros
4:49 WOW!
Phelper ~ it's the tricks ya do it's how you do em
this is his best part in any video damn thanks for this jewel
this part is clean, super classic
used to watch religiously! !!
Dude....... Thats B-E-A-utiful.
Such a dope video and time back then.....
Thank you spanky!!!
I think this footage shows the crossover from Lil Dill to Crackhead Dill, and it's kind of sad to see.
Jonas Polsky he was smoking crack during this period already
He was killing it during this time. Plus he was never that into crack, he embellishes and over exaggerates his past use. To be honest, AVE had a much bigger crack/speed problem than Dill ever did. He just doesn’t find the need to constantly talk/glamorize it.
The editing is so sick
SO GOOD
this is the greatest part of all time
So great
Best video part ever...
Jason Dill is awesome!
Dills one of the goat that nollie over the fist is madness
Man this is skateboarding at its finest just in terms of free self expression.
I Spent ages learning to ollie and i still remember the moment i first managed to hop onto the curb. No feeling like it. Your comment rocks man
Love it!!
Damn this brings back memories. I remember snagging this orange tape at my local skate shop when I was 18 with my cousin. So dope.
you said this is better than most videos out today. 95% to be exact. that would mean skating hasnt progressed
One of the best part's
Best style ever
Dill is a one of the greats.
