Years on from Grosso's passing, this interview just hits all the best notes and lays it all out. It brought out Grosso's warmth, charisma, honesty, and sense of humor.
Well said. Grosso was one of the most authentic human beings ever. His unwavering, unconditional and neverending love of skateboarding and all things skateboarding came through in everything he said and did. Whether you were close with him or if you never even met him, if you are a skater, he felt like a friend and a brother and he NEVER stopped speaking up and speaking out for what's right in and with skateboarding. He was our voice. He was the one who cut through all the bulls**t and said what he felt. Right or wrong....but he was right MUCH more often than he was wrong. He was an original and he was gone much too soon. I hope his son Oliver and his close friends and family are doing well and I know that they'll never let him be forgotten.
Ryan Librada Dude, same here!! Had a period of life thinking I needed to “grow up” and quit skating and work more. Recently I had 3 bad seizures in a row. they was caused by a tumour in my brain. Turns out skateboarding makes me happy from the deepest part of my brain. So building a board now to feel better and it’s working. Skate or DIE!
You guys HAVE TO release the full interview. All 6 hours of it, uncut, uncensored. He deserves it. We lost our keeper of the knowledge, our griot. He cant be fired now, let him have the longest episode. Break it up into 2 if you must, but release the full 6 hours. PLEASE!!! heroin warts & all, we need it.
Grosso never should have done this interview for his own mental health. This format is best for chit-chatty industry gossip among peers on the up and up in the industry-which I've purposely been oblivious to my entire life because the only things worth knowing about skateboarding were the things Jeff talked about in the Letters. I'm not denigrating Nine Club the audience that gathers here are hungry for information and they provide it on a platter. But the trap Jeff walked into here didn't help his recovery. I'm not saying he was baited-but I implore the producers to really think before they invite their guests. Good Luck in the future as this format evolves it definatley serves a purpose.
Please release the full [ [ 6 HOUR INTERVIEW ] ] , Jeff said he was happy to stand by every word and now there's no need to save him from loosing any sponsors. You know it's what he would have wanted.
@@UserUser-zc6fx sadly these gonks are owned and complicit in the sanitisation of the culture. it's why there'll never be a dp disaster interview on this circle jerk.
It was Grosso himself who wanted these parts to be cut out of the interview. Grosso sucks right 😄. In that interview I watched where he said about the 9club thing being 6 hours he also said how happy he was when he got on AntiHero and all of that, so I think even if he can't lose his sponsors now he still wouldn't want them to release the whole thing. I think he never really cared about loosing them in the first place. Grosso Forever
@@yesbwana yea, maybe they represent the lighter side but so what. skateboarding is as good as it can possibly be from bottom to top. you couldnt ask for it to be better. and noone wants to hear from DP, so it doesn't matter.
I’m conflicted about this one. In his black media interview he said he sat down with them for six hours and that he said a lot of crazy shit and that they edited it so he didn’t get fired lol the only part I’m conflicted about is if it’s really gnarly and offends a ton of people it would suck if they all just trampled on his grave ya know. The culture could use a shake up right now though too lol
I feel it man, I never gave a fuck about meeting pros or band members, he was def one of those dudes I wanted to meet, the epitome of punk and skateboarding
seeing him on the Thrasher cover was one of the raddest and most heartwarming things I've ever seen. but in the back of my head I could hear Grosso saying "rad....i only had to die to finally get a cover"...lol. RIP Jeff, we love you
Grosso was the Skater who understands we’re this deep feeling of being with your board and where it takes you in life. He IS the skaters voice of millions. We are still laughing, agreeing and getting your message……. Never forgotten bro
Talking about overcoming drug and alcohol addiction is an awesome thing to do! Don't ever stop! It shows people that living without dope is not impossible. Getting sober is one of the hardest thing I've ever done. I was on a similar path as Jeff and I am very proud of the fact that I kicked a 20+ year heroin and booze addiction!
Thanks man! I know I'm lucky for sure! I've been to way too many funerals because of that shit too! in 7 days I hit my 2 year clean mark and it feels amazing!
Jason Peeps it is one of the hardest things I ever did! It took me many relapsed to eventually get it. The only way I was able to stop was to forgive all the people I blamed for keeping in my addiction. Those people still controlled me and in till I looked at it that way I couldn’t see the answer for me. So I forgave all the people that hurt me along the way through my childhood. By doing that I regained control of my life surely but slowly. I’m so happy I was able to get to that conclusion bc it saved my life and hopefully stop that way of life from passing to my kids. It’s all knew when I grew up but it will not be all my kids know when they grow up. That cycle is a very very tough thing to break. Thanks for sharing your story bc it made me able to share mine.
I love how I can see his love for skateboarding in his eyes. Not like "yeah I skate!" But more like "I would rather die than not be able to skate again" type of relationship. I always felt that way. Very emotional about skateboarding and it's really cool to see someone else care as much as I do. Even though I'm nobody in skateboarding world, I share the same love, for this piece of wood with some wheels attatched to it, as he does:)
I'm 43, UK skater and this has saddened me more than I was expecting. He chatted to me on Facebook once...well he laughed at the gifts I received for my birthday...it ain't about the tricks, it's the passion. Wish I still had my toybox

Grosso was one of the most authentic human beings ever. His unwavering, unconditional and neverending love of skateboarding, skateboarders and all things skateboarding came through in everything he said and did. Whether you were close with him or if you never even met him, if you are a skater, he felt like a friend and a brother and he NEVER stopped standing up and speaking out for what's right in and with skateboarding.

I was always the kid at the park that went three days a week and somehow just couldn’t figure shit out. They had a really low rail, maybe 6” off ground. I tried for months to pop my tail, shifty left, and try to land board. Broke my fucking arm practicing how to not do it right lol. Quit skating after that. Got back into skating because of the letters back in 2012. I still suck huge ass, but grosso is one of my heroes. He will be sorely missed.
This episode needed to happen. Everyone is scared to loose themselves to the drugs and to hear his story has helped me and I'm sure will help others. Thanks Nine Club.
Their too scared. They try to repress skaters of whom have a wild life style and real life experience and cultivated intelligence. They want this show to be more like footballers crapping on about the perfect goal. Also fuck street league and the Olympics all hail Grosso. We have last one of the last true legends.
I just had to come and watch him on your show after waking up to the sad news today that he passed. Loved him so much. He was a real one. Sad sad day for skateboarding. RIP in PEACE! Xx
I f-ing love that dude! I learned kickflips on a SC Grosso toybox in 88-89 and I was 13-14. I had them on lock with that 10” wide thing. Not anymore though and that’s a pain I live with. Not that anyone cares but maybe some other 80’s skaters can relate.
man his death hits harder after hearing him say "I wasted half my life chasing a synthetic high." I recently got clean after 10 years of being addicted to heroin/fentanyl and I can relate so much. I'm so happy that the world was blessed with grosso, and that we have so much content to watch of him. if there's anyone skaters should look up to, jeff grosso is the ultimate role model. his love for everything is so contagious. rest in peace to a very special person.
RIP GROSSO! This is one of the few episodes that I've played twice.... Had a long road trip from Toronto to Chicago and played a few of my favourite episodes back. I love the passion he had for skateboarding
Giving him a chance to tell his story? Are you joking? This interview is 6 hours long! He gave them a chance to have him there and tell his story to them, he did it and they didn't even realise the full interview.
Ok, let’s put this to bed finally. We did cut out only a few things from the episode at Jeff’s request. The episode was pretty much aired as it was shot, minus those parts. It definitely was not 6 hours long. So just because Jeff is no longer with us does not mean we will put out the parts he wanted taken out!! Rest In Peace to the Legend Grosso!❤️🌹 -Crob
Brent Henson alot of people painted there nails black for dylan rieder. I know he did after died he posted it on Instagram . dont knownif that's still why theyre black though
When I heard the news he passed I grabbed my board and had one of the beat solo sessions in a while when I got home it finally hit me and I cried a little bit tbh I grew up on love letters. Best history teacher ever a great skater and good human being who passed too soon 51 isn’t supposed to be the end ❤️
This podcast is legendary..... So nostalgic on the timeline of skating. I could clearly see when I started to skate In his timeline. Unfortunately my life laid out similar to Grassos. God rest his soul. Lost my wife recently😭and she was cut from the same cloth as grasso.....The best, most genuine,kind, souls i know are in recovery from addiction. Great podcast 4 real. Btw... This is the 2nd time ive watched this....Lots of knowledge hidden in those awkward laughter moments.....Thanks 👍
I was never great at skating but I definitely got caught up in drugs and did some things I don't even tell people about and skating has brought me back from the edge. I realized I was happiest when all I cared about was being on a board when I wasn't at my job. Thanks for the show and giving Jeff so much time to talk.
there are some amazing moments in this video when you can hear the choke and intensity in his voice, truly incredible. kudos to him for being honest and owning his story
You guys are killing it, Grosso rules! Some names for the list of people that need to be on the Nine Club: Guy Mariano, James Kelch, Todd Congelliere, Matt Hensley, the other Steve Olson, Tom Penny, Henry Sanchez, Steve Rocco, Jason Lee, Sean Cliver. 👍
Thank you for such a raw and informative episode. This felt like a testimony and I was holding on to every word. Grosso is an amazing person for sharing such personal stories. The details of the stories are eye-opening, shocking, funny, and sad. This is life. Thank you guys for bringing Grosso on, and thank you Grosso for sharing your life stories.
A true and honest skateboard tale. The show keeps getting better ! The heaviest episode yet. Chris Roberts it got real ! Thank you skateboarding and thank you nine club
Well done Nine Club. Another outstanding episode. Thank you Grosso for being so candid and honest about your life. If Dill made drugs seem cool and alluring, get ready for the real and ugly side of drug abuse. Grosso your the best. Keep ripping!
I've watched this episode many times but I didn't realize until Grosso was gone just how amazing, talented, and bright this dude is. I've got endless respect for this guy
I’m going to have a very difficult time in the next few days, weeks, trying to wrap my head around the very sad sad news I heard today about Jeff. Seriously man I really don’t understand what the f is going on right now in the world and in my bubble. All I can muster up is that you will be very very much missed Jeff!!! I’m so distraught man.. I seriously don’t even know what to say or how to say anything about his passing today March 31, 2020. R. I. P. Rest and rip in peace Jeff! You had such an incredible and unique impact in skateboarding on skateboarding 🛹 man.. damnit man Im so upset and I don’t have him anymore words right now..all my heart ♥️ and love and thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family In this difficult time’...wtf man?? No really man, wtf is going on in the world 🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🥺😢😢😢😔😔😔😔🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🤔🤔💕💕💕 A true one of a kind man R. I. P. Jeffrey Blaine Grosso 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I listened to this episode today to celebrate Jeff's birthday. It was beautiful as well as heartbreaking in retrospect. Also, it reminded me of how good it was having Roger there. His knowledge of the past is crucial when having the older legends share their stories.
God, I fucking love Grosso. The best “fuck you” attitude in skateboarding. Also, hats off to him for kicking his addictions. That’s incredible. Much respect.
I'm so glad Jeff got a long episode talking about his journey before he left us. His story is bumpy and brilliant. This man stood up to the industry with two middle fingers up multiple times and we all should show respect and gratitude to what this mad man did for skateboarding. Grosso forever!!!!
They won't do that they want this to be a family friendly show. Chris always cuts people off when their stories are getting to extreme, too intelligent, too authentic and individualist.
what a fucking raw honest dude. His expression and love for skateboarding is bigger then half the skaters I know. He was a inspiration and all his backlogged story's and clips will continue to inspire and motivate. R.I P Jeff hope you are ripping where ever we go when we pass over
Check out him and Lucero's 3 part Weekend Buzz interview if you haven't already seen it. The dude was definitely passionate, opinionated and hilarious. I feel bad for his little boy.
R. I. P. Grosso Fan since the 80's, only recently realized your excellent storytelling. Always kept it 100 You will be missed. East Coast Staten Island Salutes you
This is why we love Jeff Grosso , because we're all fucked up in our own ways and it's a breath of fresh air to have someone that doesn't conform to an agenda and live outside the box !!! That's where skateboarding was born; outside the box, anarchy , outcast !!! Thats why the letters is a treasure !!! Never even met the guy but i feel like ive known him for years and miss him dearly !!! Scary that even after you get clean and start family and have so much on your plate, and it still took you out 😢 !!! Im in a sober living house now and starting over once more so taking it one day at a time !!! Rip pink sasquatch!!!
Holy shit...one of the best interviews I have witnessed. I saw that Grosso was on and had my predisposed thoughts about how it would go, and it was everything I thought it would be and more. In a world of non-committal bullshit, there will always be the truth that comes out of his mouth. What Grosso has to say needs to be heard; either as a cautionary tail, or because it's simply fucking radical. Thanks.
Another good one~!! Hope Willy Santos is on the list, he was my fav in the 90's and early 2000's, well him and just that generation of the Birdhouse team.
Always go back to this ep when Im drawing or reading and its the most calming thing ever. Painted a tribute board for Jeff with a fish nose and shovel tail last year, setting it up with some Trackers this summer.
RIP. Olympic thing is crazy. I like to think of Jeff after finding out the olympics was postponed having a big smile on his face. Also with slalom being something that would work. I guess a game of S.K.A.T.E. would work, as it's clearly structured. You land it, or you don't. Where as a park or street run is artistic if you were to really try and class it.
Wow Grosso. Great interview. I met you at a party in Monrovia in the 90s where I grew up and we all heard about you and knew you were a madman but that night you were a true madman. But this interview changed my whole perception. RIP brother
RIP to the truest skateboarder there ever was. “Now go out and skate”
Amen brother
Do some research
Going out to skate right now Jeff. Rest in peace man.
RIP
@@Dashynene research what? grosso was the realest! S.I.P.

When Grosso said "when I can't skate things don't work right" I felt that deep.
Dude same, nothing is right when you can't skate
SAME!
I gotta raise my hand too
I just seem more serious when I don't go out to skate
Ryan Librada Dude, same here!! Had a period of life thinking I needed to “grow up” and quit skating and work more. Recently I had 3 bad seizures in a row. they was caused by a tumour in my brain. Turns out skateboarding makes me happy from the deepest part of my brain. So building a board now to feel better and it’s working. Skate or DIE!
keep shredding buddy, I hope all is well on that adventure, i'm rooting for you! never too old to skate.

Grosso never should have done this interview for his own mental health.

I'm not denigrating Nine Club the audience that gathers here are hungry for information and they provide it on a platter. But the trap Jeff walked into here didn't help his recovery.

Just heard the news. Such a sad day, rest in peace legend.
Brandon Hack indeed😔🙏🏽
Truly a legend lost
The Olympics is not on due to covid. Jeff is still full of shit. And he's loving it.

“There is something so offensive about a drunk naked man”
Burnside shirt and painted nails grosso rocks
What is the meaning behind the painted nails? Genuinely curious and never really understood it
I guess to piss people off mostly. Plus he is og emo skate kid
Brent Henson alot of people painted there nails black for dylan rieder. I know he did after died he posted it on Instagram . dont knownif that's still why theyre black though
a lot of punks do it
I want that Burnside shirt. Where can I get one?
Every loveletter to skateboarding is a piece of history
here to pay tribute. r.i.p Jeff, an inspiration, rip in peace
When I heard the news he passed I grabbed my board and had one of the beat solo sessions in a while when I got home it finally hit me and I cried a little bit tbh I grew up on love letters. Best history teacher ever a great skater and good human being who passed too soon 51 isn’t supposed to be the end ❤️
This podcast is legendary..... So nostalgic on the timeline of skating. I could clearly see when I started to skate In his timeline. Unfortunately my life laid out similar to Grassos. God rest his soul. Lost my wife recently😭and she was cut from the same cloth as grasso.....The best, most genuine,kind, souls i know are in recovery from addiction. Great podcast 4 real. Btw... This is the 2nd time ive watched this....Lots of knowledge hidden in those awkward laughter moments.....Thanks 👍
Sorry for your loss
@@Capitan_Chaos ...thanks man.👍
RIP grossman I will forever cherish the my black flag skateboard you signed and the t-shirt you gave me at born free🥺🙏🏽
I was never great at skating but I definitely got caught up in drugs and did some things I don't even tell people about and skating has brought me back from the edge. I realized I was happiest when all I cared about was being on a board when I wasn't at my job. Thanks for the show and giving Jeff so much time to talk.
Grosso is the best! Rest in peace legend
Posting this at midnight means I'm gonna sacrifice sleep and possibly be late to work tomorrow morning. So thank you! 😂
there are some amazing moments in this video when you can hear the choke and intensity in his voice, truly incredible. kudos to him for being honest and owning his story
You guys are killing it, Grosso rules! Some names for the list of people that need to be on the Nine Club: Guy Mariano, James Kelch, Todd Congelliere, Matt Hensley, the other Steve Olson, Tom Penny, Henry Sanchez, Steve Rocco, Jason Lee, Sean Cliver. 👍
One of the best...gone. Rest in peace.
At least you didn't die off of your board and you didn't see skateboarding at the olympics.
skateboard olympics ...

Grossos perspective is definitely worth a listen. Another stellar episode lads!!
Jacob Cross the f
"What am i going to do at 65 or 70 if i cant skate". RIP.
Thank you for such a raw and informative episode. This felt like a testimony and I was holding on to every word. Grosso is an amazing person for sharing such personal stories. The details of the stories are eye-opening, shocking, funny, and sad. This is life. Thank you guys for bringing Grosso on, and thank you Grosso for sharing your life stories.
Fuck yes dude I have listened to this this year plus
RIP TO THE LEGEND!
it just keeps getting better and better
The more I watch Grosso, the more I like the dude. Keep pushing bro.
A true and honest skateboard tale. The show keeps getting better ! The heaviest episode yet. Chris Roberts it got real ! Thank you skateboarding and thank you nine club
Guys release the whole interview. Grosso would have wanted it.
Grosso was the one that asked for the interview to be cut.
Well done Nine Club. Another outstanding episode. Thank you Grosso for being so candid and honest about your life. If Dill made drugs seem cool and alluring, get ready for the real and ugly side of drug abuse. Grosso your the best. Keep ripping!
Rest in peace Grosso. Youre missed already...
Look how hip Grosso looks! Buy his board! No joke, best board I ever rode!
Always some neato shaped planks.
Grosso's last words ring so true in current times,theres people out there to help if you want it! RIP Ben Raemers.
My Love letter is to Grosso....thank you sir! Been a fan forever and similar struggle of life. Thank you nine club!!!
Grosso forever RIP
Episodes like this one get me choked up a bit. Amazing.
I love how Kelly pushes the button when he laughs 😂😂
I've watched this episode many times but I didn't realize until Grosso was gone just how amazing, talented, and bright this dude is. I've got endless respect for this guy
RIP Grosso ❤️
I’m going to have a very difficult time in the next few days, weeks, trying to wrap my head around the very sad sad news I heard today about Jeff. Seriously man I really don’t understand what the f is going on right now in the world and in my bubble. All I can muster up is that you will be very very much missed Jeff!!! I’m so distraught man.. I seriously don’t even know what to say or how to say anything about his passing today March 31, 2020. R. I. P. Rest and rip in peace Jeff! You had such an incredible and unique impact in skateboarding on skateboarding 🛹 man.. damnit man Im so upset and I don’t have him anymore words right now..all my heart ♥️ and love and thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family In this difficult time’...wtf man?? No really man, wtf is going on in the world 🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🥺😢😢😢😔😔😔😔🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🛹🤔🤔💕💕💕
A true one of a kind man R. I. P. Jeffrey Blaine Grosso 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏❤. All my support for his friends and family, legends are forever.
I love that this was documented before he died
Grosso needs a documentary.
He has adressed that in an interview i think and he doesnt want to do one.
I agree with you though. 🤙🏼😊
You could make a documentary off of this interview
@@byahboy129 honestly a good point this with archival footage
@@byahboy129 maybe ill make it
RIP Grosso
I listened to this episode today to celebrate Jeff's birthday. It was beautiful as well as heartbreaking in retrospect. Also, it reminded me of how good it was having Roger there. His knowledge of the past is crucial when having the older legends share their stories.
Jesus, Grosso quit shooting dope but now he's drinking windex. Gotta stay hardcore. LOL
Rest in peace Jeff!
It’s like Christmas came in February... fuck yes!
its almost as if Lou Reed saw this coming all those years ago...
i keep rewatching this rest in peace grosso🖤🖤
I’m 18 and I Fuckn love the letters damn straight tuck that knee Grosso 😂🙏🏼
Im a fetus that doesnt tuck knee on a frontside boneless one
God, I fucking love Grosso. The best “fuck you” attitude in skateboarding. Also, hats off to him for kicking his addictions. That’s incredible. Much respect.
Dill and now grosso may be a day late but thank you 9club for getting my two of my favorite skaters on the show. Now you only need AL Davis
I'm so glad Jeff got a long episode talking about his journey before he left us. His story is bumpy and brilliant. This man stood up to the industry with two middle fingers up multiple times and we all should show respect and gratitude to what this mad man did for skateboarding. Grosso forever!!!!
uncensored 6 hour version for new years please, Jeff said its okay!
They won't do that they want this to be a family friendly show. Chris always cuts people off when their stories are getting to extreme, too intelligent, too authentic and individualist.
what a fucking raw honest dude. His expression and love for skateboarding is bigger then half the skaters I know. He was a inspiration and all his backlogged story's and clips will continue to inspire and motivate. R.I P Jeff hope you are ripping where ever we go when we pass over
Check out him and Lucero's 3 part Weekend Buzz interview if you haven't already seen it. The dude was definitely passionate, opinionated and hilarious. I feel bad for his little boy.
Grosso is amazing, love this guy even more after this!
I can’t watch this without getting teary eyed... RIP GROSSO.
finally getting the dirt on Gator. I knew you'd come through with the goods, Chris
leekthomas737 what happen between gator n Jessica?
Adrian Dominguez, probably some weird dance moves
Adrian Dominguez there's a documentary on UA-cam called 'Stoked the rise and fall of Gator' that tells the whole sick story.
R. I. P. Grosso
Fan since the 80's, only recently realized your excellent storytelling. Always kept it 100
You will be missed. East Coast
Staten Island
Salutes you
Please release the full 6 hours of this video unedited
"Last time I watched street league, I woke up and it was over" hahaha so accurate
This is why we love Jeff Grosso , because we're all fucked up in our own ways and it's a breath of fresh air to have someone that doesn't conform to an agenda and live outside the box !!! That's where skateboarding was born; outside the box, anarchy , outcast !!! Thats why the letters is a treasure !!! Never even met the guy but i feel like ive known him for years and miss him dearly !!! Scary that even after you get clean and start family and have so much on your plate, and it still took you out 😢 !!!
Im in a sober living house now and starting over once more so taking it one day at a time !!! Rip pink sasquatch!!!
Holy shit...one of the best interviews I have witnessed. I saw that Grosso was on and had my predisposed thoughts about how it would go, and it was everything I thought it would be and more. In a world of non-committal bullshit, there will always be the truth that comes out of his mouth. What Grosso has to say needs to be heard; either as a cautionary tail, or because it's simply fucking radical. Thanks.
RIP Grosso!!!! judging from the sky now! seriously will be missed...
This is by far the most honest, open, entertaining, most concequences, story in skateboarding. Thank you Grosso!
Another good one~!! Hope Willy Santos is on the list, he was my fav in the 90's and early 2000's, well him and just that generation of the Birdhouse team.
Always go back to this ep when Im drawing or reading and its the most calming thing ever.
Painted a tribute board for Jeff with a fish nose and shovel tail last year, setting it up with some Trackers this summer.
RIP. Olympic thing is crazy. I like to think of Jeff after finding out the olympics was postponed having a big smile on his face. Also with slalom being something that would work. I guess a game of S.K.A.T.E. would work, as it's clearly structured. You land it, or you don't. Where as a park or street run is artistic if you were to really try and class it.
Wow Grosso. Great interview. I met you at a party in Monrovia in the 90s where I grew up and we all heard about you and knew you were a madman but that night you were a true madman. But this interview changed my whole perception. RIP brother
RIP to a real O.G you will be missed
