INTERVIEW
MAGNUSSON
Interview by Kevin Thatcher
"The European Cannon is here," were the words
Mofo used to describe Tony Magnusson's ex-
plosive entrance into the California skate scene in
1981. Tony's patented fakie switch-stance airs out
of the keyhole at Del Mar had placed him at the
top of the amateur heap with names like Tony Hawk
and Christian Hosoi. Born in Stockholm, Sweden,
25 years ago, Tony came to the states in 1980
without a clue, just an insane ability to rip on a
skateboard. Originally skating for Variflex, then
Caster, Uncle Wiggley, Tracker and Sure Grip, Tony
finally broke away when he met his current part-
ner Mike 'Nasty' Ternasky and formed H-Street in
1988. As a European it wasn't easy for Tony to just
blend right in to the Southern California skate
scene, but he works hard, trains daily and appre-
ciates the people who have helped along the way.
"I was proud to be on the same team as Eddie
Elguera (Variflex)", says Tony, "and now I'm really
stoked to have him skating for H-Street. I owe a
lot to people like Dave Omer and now it's fun to
skate with guys like David Andrecht, who works
for H-Street." Another thing Tony overcame was
an accident that resulted in the loss of the tip of
his thumb and two middle fingers of his right hand
at the knuckles. It happened he was 14 and fool-
ing around on top of an elevator. That's when he
got into skating as a safer way to vent his wild
energy. Now he tells kids he hurt it doing ho-ho
plants. Seems like Tony's got the right attitude, the
right outlook and the right ability to trade skate
stunts with the Hawk and Hosoi.
