BIO...
Tony skates everything and does it better than anyone, making it look fun as hell with the most insane, out of control-looking style out there. There's nobody more exciting to watch just cruising a park and it's been that way since he first appeared in old 411 VHS tapes in the nineteen nineties, flying around the Santa Rosa skate park. Since then, TNT has been around the world ten times over, drank your beer, kissed your girlfriend, won Thrasher Magazine's coveted lucky 13th Skater of the Year award, had multiple Vans Signature pro models, made a baby boy named Waylon, married his drummer Trixie con Leche (Ashley), made a time capsule-worthy video part for Transworld's In Bloom, been the Beauty and the Beast tour two-time MVP, had more covers than we can count and generally laid havoc where ever he roams. When it's all said and done, Tony is going to be remembered as a guy that did it his way.
TONY TRUJILLO INTERVIEW...
What shoes do you skate?
Old Skool, doggie.
What’s your set up?
Whatever I find on my doorstep.
What’s the best trip you’ve ever been on?

What is the best story you’ve ever heard or been told?

What trick can’t you do that you wish you could?
Stale tuna to my own reach around… Is that weird?
What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to you?
Genital warts.
Worst trend in skateboarding right now?
Lesbian DJs.
What are some interests outside of skating?
Playin’ sweet, sweet music with my ol’ lady!
Last good book you read?
Pure Cop. Chicago police bustin’ crackheads, arsonists, prostitutes and suicide bombers…seemed like a good read.

Any useful camping lessons to share with kids?
Sleep under the stars. Tent only if necessary. Livin’ in the city, we don’t see many stars. So when I can, under the stars it is.
What was your reaction when you found out Ashley was pregnant?
I said, “Whatever you want to do is alright by me.” I was in Israel at the time and that was f@%kin’ intense! But a li'l one? Shit...It was a trip when I knew we were gonna go for it. I’m hyped!
Were you in the room when she gave birth?
Yeah, it was blood and guts, you know. Disgusting…Disgustingly beautiful!

Waylon James Trujillo… 12/19/08… 6.13 Ounces… 19 1/2 inches…
Did you know you were having a boy?
Yeah. Actually wanted a girl. Wanted myself another Trixie ya know. F@%k you all…
How stoked were you when you found out you were having a boy?
Shit. He’s gonna be a hot skier!
I know Ashley goes on the road with you a bunch. Do you plan on bringing the baby now too?
It’s a family affair! We’re starting another Partridge Family…a thrash version!
What ‘s the most important thing you've learned in life that you want to pass on to him?
Live for now…Please don’t stress. I know life sucks so live now in the real world.
When you explain to him how to spin back threes what will you tell him?
Eat shit.
