#TBT: Tony Trujillo "In Bloom"

Posted on Thursday, March 12, 2015 by Paul

Summing up Tony Trujillo is easy: he’s a straight up high octane tranny chomper who’s not afraid to jump on a beastly rail and to back it all up, he’s got a beautiful frontside flip that he can do just about anywhere. That said, he’s one of the more surprising names to see on the list of Tampa Pro winners. The year was 2003; his run was all rock and roll, wild hair, and ripping flow. No switch big heels. Sometimes energy trumps the flips and dips.

One of the better examples of Tony’s work on the board is from 2002’s Transworld video, In Bloom. The part can probably claim at least partial credit for making concrete skating “cool” again. The Motley Crue soundtrack, a Cardiel cameo, the lines, this one has it all.
