Peter Ramondetta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Ramondetta (born 1982) is a professional skateboarder. Ramondetta was born in Witchita, Kansas, United States and lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States as a teenager. While living in Tulsa in the late 1990s, he developed a reputation among the local skate scene as being one of the most talented skateboarders in the city. He eventually became known as the "local hero", a title earned after skateboarding at Tulsa's famed downtown Bartlet Square with Kerry Getz, Elissa Steamer, Brian Anderson, and Ed Templeton following a skateboard demo held by the Toy Machine team. Transworld Skateboarding magazine photographers and writers that were currently writing a story documenting the Toy Machine tour witnessed Ramondetta skating, and were so impressed to see a local skateboarder that was skating on par with the professionals they mentioned Ramondetta in the article, calling him the local hero. Shortly after, Ramondetta became sponsored by Real Skateboards.

Ramondetta now lives in San Francisco, California, and is sponsored by Real Skateboards, C1RCA Footwear, Spitfire Wheels, and Thunder Trucks. He was a very recent addition to the local New England team Gnar Side Militia.
