Tony Heitz is an encyclopedia of Cincinnati skate history. He’s been involved in skateboarding for over 40 years in several capacities both locally and nationally. He was a rider for Basic Skateboards in the early 90s, co-owner of Habitat Skateshop in Dayton, and Anonymous in Cincinnati. Additionally, Tony worked  as Team Manager for Alien Workshop, Habitat, and Seek from 2002-2007. A natural storyteller, Tony knows everyone in skating and remembers vividly all the key details of the early scene in Ohio. It was an honor to hear his story and get the opportunity to share it here with everyone. Look out for some exciting drops from his brand Trifecta in the coming year.
