BBS Manufacturing & Sect Geometry
Alien Workshop utilizes the industry's most trusted woodshop to turn their premium shapes into heavy-duty performance tools:
-
The BBS Premium Standard: Pressed at BBS (Generator) using climate-controlled presses and elite epoxy formulas. This world-renowned construction method guarantees a stiff, resonant, and long-lasting pop that completely resists going soft or soggy over time.
-
The "Sect-8.5" Profile: A highly refined popsicle shape tailored specifically for the modern 8.5" skater. It features a highly functional, locked-in medium concave with gradual, predictable kicks on the nose and tail for superior board control.
-
Ultra-Responsive 14.125" Wheelbase: Despite its wider 8.5" width, this deck features a tight, compressed wheelbase. This specialized geometry gives the board a rapid turning radius and an unexpectedly fast flip speed, making it incredibly nimble for technical street skating while maintaining a solid landing platform.
Key Features
-
The Ultimate All-Terrain Width: The 8.5" profile is the undisputed modern standard for skaters who split their time evenly between concrete transitions, handrails, and technical ledge spots.
-
100% Hard Rock Maple: Built with premium North American maple plys to heavily resist chipping, structural stress, and pressure cracks under heavy impact.
-
Surrealist Sovereign Sect Artwork: Features intricate, thought-provoking graphic elements that stay true to the rich artistic heritage of Ohio's premier skateboard brand.
