新年持续给力，飞了一段时间的流言再次兑现，尽管Burton方面尚无官方声明，不过向来爱出风头的Rob Dyrdek已正式宣布成功收购Burton旗下的滑板品牌Alien Workshop。从复兴DC到自创滑板大赛Street League，Rob Dyrdek那副纨绔子弟外表下的惊人才华日渐显露，此番收购自己以滑手身份一直效力的Alien Workshop不知用意何在，总之希望能借助他的才华让这一老品牌重放异彩！
Numerous tweets, Instagram images, and Facebook posts filled cyberspace last night with the news that Rob Dyrdek had bought Alien Workshop from Burton. It was made public last night by Rob himself on stage and in front of those gathered for Zumiez Annual 100K gala at Colorado’s Keystone Resort. Shop-Eat-Surf confirms this report, but no official word from Burton has emerged at this time in regard to Rob’s surprise announcement or the future of the other brands under the DNA Distribution umbrella.
