3D.





Three dimensional.

Brian Anderson departed from Girl in 2013 and started 3D later that year with Brad Staba at the newly created Big Time Distribution. Austyn Gillette was the other pro on the team and had been riding for Habitat. He had his last Habitat ad a month or two before his debut on 3D. This would have been about the same time as other riders were departing from the Alien Workshop and Habitat due to financial issues.

Alex Olson also left Girl with the intent to ride for 3D, but decided early on that it looked too much like his former sponsor. He wanted to go in a different direction with the art and graphics. Alex split before the brand was established to avoid bigger problems in the future. He was feeling out of place at Girl and was friends with Brian so this change initially felt good. To his credit, he recognized early on that this wasn't what he was looking for either.

BA has a Trunk Boyz tattoo. It got cut in the fold, but trust me, it's there.
