DEAF SKATER MONTY NOLDER: INVENTOR OF THE BACKSIDE SMITH GRIND CLASSIC SESSIONS w/REESE SIMPSON 1988Monty Nolder shredding some ramps in 1988 with Reese Simpson, Bryan Pennington, Jamie Mosberg and friends (who are those dudes?) This tape was submitted for consideration in Speed Freaks Q: When did you get your first skateboard? Monty: It was a Christmas present when I was in elementary school. It was a Roller Derby with clay wheels. I guess I liked it. Monty, you were a core part of many skate crews over the years in Florida. You were a local in the Miami area, the Gainsville area, the Saint Pete area and more. Let's set the record straight, where and who was in your original skate crew? Runway Skate Park in Miami. My original skate crew included Rob Weir, Wayne Hildreth, Rob Rodriquez, Tracy Ramos, and Shawn Webster, I miss you guys. Who were the skaters who influenced you the most when you first started skateboarding? Tony Alva and Duane Peters. Monty, you are known for taking any trick and making it yours, but you are also known for inventing the "Monty Grind" (Backside Smith). How did that come about? Everybody was doing frontside Smith grinds so I got burnt out on those and did it backside and it worked for me. Between the Sensation Basin in Gainesville and the Miami skate parks that you localized, which do you think advanced your skating the most and why? All of them and also KONA in Jacksonville. I skated the Runway Skate Park in Miami where I learned a lot fromt the Runway crew. When the Sensation Basin was bulldozed I went to skate the Cambodia Ramp in Miami every weekend and then Kona. Are you skating much these days? On and off, I'm not giving up, I'm working on a vert ramp at my house now so I don't have to drive so far. I'm stuck in out in the desert skating with rattle snakes. What was it like back in the day skating and touring with Christian Hosoi? I loved skating with him,
