Jason Dill

Born in Huntington Beach in 1976, Jason Dill turned pro at twelve, was recruited by Natas Kaupas into the World Industries orbit, and in 1998 joined Alien Workshop, where he spent fifteen formative years as one of the most stylistically influential skaters of his generation. After leaving Alien Workshop in 2013 he co-founded Fucking Awesome in New York with Anthony Van Engelen in 2014, and in 2015 spun off the sister deck brand Hockey to give Van Engelen and Kevin Rodrigues their own platform. The FA/Hockey universe — blending fine-art collage, photography and unapologetic graphic design — reset the visual language of skate hardware in the late 2010s. Dill also published the photo book Prince Street in 2022.
