Florida
Skateboard Hall of Fame 2003

The
new lineup of Hall of Famers along with some of last years charter members. Monty
Nolder (with a hunk of coping from Stone Edge's old pool), Tim Payne, Bruce
Walker (2002), Martin Ramos, Bobby Mandarino, and Scott McCranels, (not in
picture was Jeannie Narducci). This was the
second year for the Florida Skateboard Hall of Fame. This year the 2002
charter members of the Hall of Fame chose the five new members. Three new
members are chosen on their skating abilities, one member as a
"special" award for contributing to skateboarding in some fashion, and
one award to a female skater. The existing 2002 Hall of Fame chose Scott
McCranels, Monty Nolder, Bobby Mandarino, Tim Payne, and Jeannie Narducci. We
were able to present the awards to all of these people (except Jeannie) at the
Kona Summer Nationals. Leading off the
presentation we had Steve Olson induct Bobby Mandarino. Olson was great as
a show stopper, we had a pool jam going off right in front of us. These
guys were both team mates on Santa Cruz years ago in the late 70's. |
