RIP GROSSO THIS HURTS HEAVY💔 Love letters always gave me some skateboarding history and you always made me laugh while telling stories. Thank you Jeff you will be missed.
I know exactly how I feel about no more letters. IT FUCKIN SUCKS. He told it how it needed to be told. One of the only ones out there to be honest about the industry and all the sensitive rich assholes who run it. Rest in Peace Jeff Grosso, you are greatly missed.
If you get to Grants Pass Oregon go to the skatepark if you need a place to stay and ask for old man Greg someone will get ahold of me there I got a place you can stay on the floor and I got a pretty fat mini ramp
Love letters to Grosso. Thanks for the memories and the nostalgia. You inspired more people than you know. Vans, the Anti Hero Sk8 mids need to be re released as a permanent part of the lineup from here on out. Grosso forever.
at 6:47 - Rowan says he always wanted to see Lee Ralph skate... then 1-2 seconds image of him doing a Madonna on a sketchy ramp - I organised this demo in summer 1989 in Brussels (Eterbeek sport centre) - we also had Ken Park and Joe Johnson present (Gator was supposed to be there but did not make it)... Ken Park did his first 540 on this ramp, it was nuts... We got some coverage on Flemish TV news the next day that I have somewhere in VHS. Afterward we went in town to drink Duvels with Lee until we passed out on the sidewalk ah ah ah I am curious to where you got the footage - I have never seen this angle but I remember Ken's wife filmed a lot that night - might it be her footage? Would love to see more! Grosso - we met a few weeks later at the VB washed out contest - I was staying in Malba and Schroeder's room at the Days Inn (I was first sleeping in my car and they nicely let me sleep and clean up in their room) - I had a car so could drive many of you guys around - picked up Schnneer at the airport... Madness for one week before the contest was finally cancelled because of the rain - good memories
cardiel and hewitt...most hype one can possibly get is watching their footage. hewitt’s rodeo 540 on that vert ramp with the death wobble just before take off is THE gnarliest clip i’ve ever seen. i’ve probably watched that clip 1000 times in my lifetime and it still gets me amped. great episode. please never stop making these! 🙏🏼
RIP legend! Thank you for teaching us so many rad things about skateboard with the love letters and for giving us your great energy every time you talked, laughed and specially riding a skateboard🙏🏼
thx for everything Jeff!!! may you rest in peace, the worldwide Skateboarding community salute you...Loveletters from 1st to last are EPIC and you will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace Jeff Grosso 🙏 Thank You so much for your contributions to Skateboarding. We all love you with all our ❤ and we wish you and your family all our Love. Shred in Paradise Brother ✊
Should've been longer. Seemed to be a little thrown together. Should've been a better memorial for Phelps. But that was deep. The lil something is better than nothing
that Jake quote at the end is a pretty amazing finale to the last loveletters ever. Im pushing 50 and every single one of my closest friends I met through skateboarding.
Going to miss seeing Jeff at the HB vans (Grosso Ramp) I had spoke to him two weeks before March 31st - He spent sometime with me signing some of my boards. His stories and how skateboarding makes everything better in life. One day at a time. God Speed Jeff- Thank you for everything. We will look out for your son Oliver. GO SKATE!!!
Thanks for everything Jeff! We all will miss you dude 🤘🔥 R.I.P. GO SKATE! DO IT FOR GROSSO! DO IT FOR YOURSELF! DO IT FOR SKATEBOARDING! QUICK BEFORE YOU DIE!
Yo, not trying to come off all cheesedick but I really needed this ( and again no cheesedickin) little gift today. In my world, Love letters brings me happiness. The 8 to 20 / 30.minutes while on the can watching or driving somewhere paying more attention to my phone in hand than the jerkoffs on the roads- L.L. is my dope!!!! Thanks J.G. and crew. Now ... And most important... Go Skate!!!!
Rest easy you crazy bastard! We all love you and your 0 fucks given attitude will live on forever in these videos, and in the minds of us all. RIP Grosso, tuck a knee in respect!
So bummed about Grosso. I absolutely loved his show and attitude. Never rode his board in the 80s, however his Anti Hero Vans are my favorite shoe for style and function. I will always rock them with pride for Jeff! TURN THIS OFF. GO SKATE!
Rowan is seriously and OG somehow even though he's a young guy. I don't know how old he is but I'm 26 and I think he's a few years younger than me but he's just so stylish and appreciate all the ogs before him
Fuck 2020 man. I’m sick of this shit. Rest In Peace to the legend Jeff Grosso. Thank you for all you did for skateboarding. You were one of the real ass gnarly dudes that told it like it was. You’ll live on through all your great clips and through every person you inspired to be their own person and not care what’s normal or popular. We are going to miss you Grosso
Anybody can understand the feelling that run through my body everytime i saw a loveletters notification. And even more strongers feellings when jeff said go skate turn off this shit. Thank you thank you so so much. @vans i always wanted to translate and subtitle all episodes to spanish. So the spanish community of skate could undertand them. Would love to be able to make it real.
We lost one of the great historians of skate. We need more guys like Phelps and Grosso to keep skate history alive. I almost wish someone else would keep doing the Loveletters, even though they would never be the same. But there was nothing else like it, except for Ask the Phelper and VHS Vault with Kevin Staab, but neither of those two things were anywhere near the same level as the Loveletters. RIP in skate heaven, Grosso. Another great barefoot skater is Kale Sandridge, btw. Check out his part in Natural Koncepts' Illegitimate Bastard Child.
This rules, best 360 Flip Antwuan Dixon beginning of his Baker 3 Part, Favorite Video Part Ever: Ricky Oyola-Eastern Exposure 3, also Cardiel in Transworld Sight Unseen.
we all gonna miss your loveletters
Ride In Paradise !

Unreal, I don’t know how I feel about no more letters, there were so many memories to be talked about, Jeff Grosso you were a gem and I love you
Kid21 rip now no one will tell us why are we inside when we can go out and skate Rest Grosso
I know exactly how I feel about no more letters. IT FUCKIN SUCKS. He told it how it needed to be told. One of the only ones out there to be honest about the industry and all the sensitive rich assholes who run it. Rest in Peace Jeff Grosso, you are greatly missed.
This show is the best thing on internet period Jeff and six stair productions (buddy/Rick) are amazing
If you get to Grants Pass Oregon go to the skatepark if you need a place to stay and ask for old man Greg someone will get ahold of me there I got a place you can stay on the floor and I got a pretty fat mini ramp

Lee Ralph is the man ✊️
RIP GROSSO! May these love letters be your greatest gift to the world of skateboarding.
As a skater from New Zealand, it's great that Lee Ralph got attention from Grosso in these loveletters

mark gonzales throwing his sunglasses ot the window is the coolest thing i have seen in my entire life!
I remember that vision video of mark back then.I never seen that footage of him grinding that rail before. Insane for back then even now.
Ummmm... littering is not cool, brah.
Everything Gonz done is cool. Insanely charismatic human.
Rest In Peace Jeff. Thank you for these segments

One of my favorite episodes. RIP Grosso, unparalleled passion, ripper, legend
Thank you Grosso. Just what we needed this morning to bring some joy away from the chaos of Covid19.
Just what we need to distract our minds, at least for a while, from all the chaos happening. RIP Jeff Grosso 🙏 💪 He's definitely on a better place now
PieroSkA 666 I wrote that before any of this happened. I am so saddened by his passing.
Rip grosso!! I slept on these but now I got my homework cut out and im loving his vibe and outlook on life! Roll till death

RIP Grosso. Wow, you were a huge part of my skate days. Loved your decks and style. Thank you from Georgia.
Finally! Phew, I was starting to get worried there for a minute. Welcome back. Definitely looking forward to this.

He’s a solid dude and 100% skateboarder

RIP in skate heaven, Grosso.
