Tony Magnusson

Tony Magnusson, known as T-Mag, is a Swedish semi-retired professional skateboarder and part-owner of H-Street Skateboards and Osiris Shoes, born on 23 February 1963 in the municipality of Tyreso in Stockholm. He gained significant fame through the 1980s by inventing several tricks and becoming one of the first professional skateboarders to start a rider-owned company. He started skateboarding at twelve on a Newporter board, when skateboarding was still considered a fad, and at sixteen had to choose between college and continuing to skate. He began his career as a rider in the United States for the Uncle Wiggley Designs team in 1983, and in 1987 formed the H-Street company with his friend and partner Mike Ternasky, consulting with industry leader George Abuhamad on production oversight and daily operations.
