Congratulations to 70's Pro Laura Thornhill for being inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame tonight!

"One of those inductee’s is a girl from the 70′s who was a fashion icon, a girl who skated like the wind and had the grace and style to make you stop and look, and look again. She spun 360 after 360 while the boys watched in awe, she rode before it was the “popular” thing to do, she practiced freestyle routines in the hot summer sun, she traveled with the boys from contest to contest up and down the coast of Southern California instead of going to prom, shopping at the mall or any other of those other “popular” girl activities. If you are a girl and skate now, she is one of the women who paved the way for you. She is a girl I am very proud to call my good friend." - Cindy Whitehead via itsnotaboutpretty.com

"Marisa Dal Santo kickflip front boarded her way to skateboarding fame in Zero's 2009 video, "Strange World." But after about five years of getting boards from one of the most notoriously gnarly brands in skateboarding, Dal Santo has called it quits and moved back to LaGrange, ILL. Now skating for only Emerica, ERGO and Yeah Board Shop, she is getting ready for one of the most important days of her fiscal year, X-Games."
