The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
It’s always good to see skateboarders who’s companies fail (AWS) and rise from the ashes to start their own venture. We live in the generation of DIY and some times it’s just what needs to be done.Every pro wants their own board company at some stage, no harm in trying.

There was a lot of speculation about where the bulk of Alien Workshop’s team would land after the company went on temporary hiatus last year. And for the past couple of months, there have been murmurs about a new brand with former AWS riders Jake Johnson, Gilbert Crockett, and Tyler Bledsoe involved.
Those rumors were confirmed today, via the image you see above. The company is called Mother. One-time Alien team manager Chad Bowers is overseeing it, and, as its Insta and website announced, product will be available later this month. So start saving your money—or getting ready to beg your local shop owner—for boards now.
Rad, that’s a brilliant lineup. Hopefully we get something better than what Alex Olsen, BA and Ave & Dill have given us with their companies.
Harsh to say AWS failed though. One of the most respected and popular companies for over 20 years, they lasted longer than most. I know you didn’t mean it like that though.
Yeah it was a tough tone I was a AWS fan from the videos, skaters, designs some thing unique in the skateboarding world.
Bianca Chandon! Well I don’t know about the idea at all with it that brand.
