A couple weeks ago, Chrome Ball posted up an interview with Jason Dill from 2003. Hard to believe that was 8 years ago now… but the video got me thinking about Dill, considering I was fairly obsessed with his approach to skating at that time. Really, his approach to everything is pretty fascinating anyway… one of skateboarding’s great eccentrics.

When Tony Trujillo skates he looks like a beautiful Indian on fire. He looks like he could skate with a tomahawk in his hand, and it would work. You wouldn’t really notice that it was there and he would just hack at the coping. He’s the best skater we have right now. I have tranny skills but he’s got like supernatural-phenomenon tranny skills. He embodies some of the greatest skateboarding we’ll ever witness. I like when things look sketchy with an edge of gracefulness. 

He’s also one of the few people I’ve ever seen who can almost pull off a rat tail without looking like a freckly 13 year old. The man’s truly talented.
