This is a digitally printed photo T-Shirt, featuring Tony Mag’s Classic Backside Air, shot at the legendary Cedar Crest Country Club in the 80 by B. Adams.
It’s been said that this was the highest air ever done on a regular vet ramp in the 80’s, without the aid of tall roll-ins, towering over the decks. As T-Mag used to say back in the day, it isn’t necessarily going over 10 feet that is the tough part, it’s generating that kind of speed that launches one up that high.
Danny Way proved that out with his Mega Ramp concept, that a skater can go more than twice as high as T-Mag did that faithful day at Cedar Crest, if the speed is “free” and not an issue.
In either case, this photo was lost for years and recovered by T-Mag many years after it was done. It did run as an ad in Thrasher back in the day and we’ve made some shirts and boards with Francesco artist rendition of the classic photo.
The shirt is printed here in California with the highest quality inks, using the latest technology in digital T-Shirt printing, on the highest quality T-Shirt stock. We do recommend washing our photo shirts inside out and a mild cycle and don’t throw it in the dryer on hot.

About Tony Magnusson
Tony Mag started skateboarding in Stockholm, Sweden when skateboarding swept the country in 1976. After spending a few years at the top of the Swedish skateboard scene, T-Mag won the National Championship and toured the nation. The young T-Mag decided to pursue his life dream of becoming the best skateboarder in the world and jumped on a plane to California at age 16 in 1980.
T-Mag became a “park local” skateboarder at the legendary Del Mar Skate Ranch and decided to learn how to make skateboards. He immersed himself in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and selling them.
While the beginning was humble, over a 45-year time span, T-Mag has traveled the world as a professional skateboarder, started multiple successful companies in the action sports industry, besides H-Street Skateboards and still rides a skateboard today.
