Omar Salazar is a professional skateboarder from Sacramento, California, celebrated for his fast, aggressive style and fierce independence. Salazar’s career began with Foundation Skateboards, but he truly rose to prominence after joining Alien Workshop, becoming a standout member of the team. His explosive parts, especially in Alien Workshop’s 'Mind Field', showcased his unique mix of speed, power, and creativity. He later joined Nike SB, where he earned a signature pro model shoe and gained further recognition through high-profile video appearances. His sponsor list has also included major industry names like Spitfire Wheels and Independent Trucks.
Following the collapse of Alien Workshop, Salazar launched his own brand, Doom Sayers, a label known for its gritty aesthetic and commitment to core skate values. Although injuries have periodically sidelined him, Salazar has remained outspoken about the lack of support many skaters face from sponsors, choosing instead to focus on Doom Sayers and his recovery.
