History
:
In addition to current Grindco
show productions both for live events & television, Tony
is currently developing many of his unique, edgy event ideas
for the future including the sponsorship gathering phase of
the worlds first "Goth-Metal" themed stockcar racing
team; as well as performing live with his band Means to an End.
2007 - 08 Developed and
test marketed two new touring properties: 'Motopsycho Mania'
& 'H2X' watershow.
2003 - 04 Toured with Means
to an End on the 'Infect the System' Skaterock tour.
2002 - Formed Means to an
End, and began race training for upcoming car racing team endeavor.
2000 - Jumped back into
pro level racing with scootercross (motorized stand- up scooter)
Karting and Jet Ski racing.
1998 - Expanded Grindco to be able to offer Ski/Snowboard jumping, Freestyle Moto X, Skatepark design & construction,
event planning & consultation.
1996 - 98 Toured extensively
with the Organ Grinders halfpipe skate/ concert to U.S. nightclubs
& arenas, right at the beginning of the rise of popularity
in extreme sports.
1992 - 96 Conceived the
idea of a extreme sports halfpipe show physically up onstage
behind the new "baby" band the Organ Grinders. Doing
what no other band had done ( or still have yet to do) this
show drew record crowds for a virtually unknown band, and sports
that were not in the public eye at that time, on three different
national tours.
1989 - 92 Began design,
construction, and live event show production for his own halfpipe
shows, featuring Tony as the pro BMX Halfpipe and scooter rider,
along with several of his pro skateboarder buddies performing
to huge crowds at over 300 shows on the first portable wooden,
transportable Halfpipe ramp. |
