I made my first DIY obstacle today on an abandoned tennis court and it was literally so much fun. It's just as much fun as actually skating it. Everyone, get out there and make your own shit and start your own scene, it is a great feeling.
GermeeJammer that's how we do things down at the skatepark. If you're old enough to roll your ankle trying to do a kick flip, you're old enough to hear someone say "fuck."
(: We stole the old half pipe at Latimar Road and built a mini ramp in a friends garden. We also laid the foundation for what you see now in the street section at Meanwhile 2. We first built it out of left over plywood from the mini ramp. Those were fun times (: dodging police and what not. Heart!
Just to point this out, the skate park is actually in GTA 5. Theres a garage under a few overpasses and then theres a skatepark. Got the same entrance to the bowl with that oval hole in the side and everything.
only if you got caught in bed with her. What I'm getting at is you have to have friends high up in the municipal government, patronage. And to get them, you have to use what you have. If all you have is a skateboard and a big d, your options are limited.
I dont build DIY stuff with cement. But with wood and metal. Shit I got to start doing it with cement because some damn kids always destroy the stuff I build with hard work!
I dont think those kids realised who they were talking to haha. They will probably look back at it and be like "shit, jeff grosso is awesome and i wasn't stoked on seeing him"
We might be the last place on earth to get a skatepark, even third world countries have skateparks before us!! I've lived here in Hilo for over 60 years, maybe I should've moved a long time ago!
Diy has saved us in this town of Hilo on the Big island of Hawaii. Would you believe in this day and age that we still don't have a skatepark?! Something is seriously wrong with this town! Must be some skate haters in power. They have no Aloha and it's sad and shameful.
Problem is a lot of todays kids just have no respect for anything including themselves. I invested time/money into a small park and argued against local homeowners concerned about crime. They were right! Drugs,booze,trash,loud noise, gangs,destruction. Within a year the county closed it.
its true man we just built a little 1/4 and flat bank thing coz our town wont build a skatepark and the place is riddled with kids every night its rad to see. dee eye why cuz no one else will. and why is everyone watching gangnam when they could be watching grossman
So how legal is it to do something like this under a bridge? I mean, wouldn't it suck if months and money is put into something like this and it gets demolished?
Yo Jeff, you probably won't see this but with any shred of luck you might. Check out what happened at Leeside DIY in Vancouver. Me and all the other dudes put a shit ton of work in to that place and some fuckers come by and set fire to it, major bummer over here.
i remember when i was eleven years old i went with my friends to make a DIY at a elementary school ditch. it was hella dirty with leaves, used suringes, and mud. we used a marchall's shopping cart to take any bricks on the side of the street and made a concrete roll in where you could go in super fast into a bonless or whatever 5 tricks me and my friends could even do back then haha. we also brought a wood manny pad and set it against the ditch, i tried setting it on a tree so i could drop in. from that point forward in never skated in shorts without knee high socks AGAIN! haha anyways DIY spots are truly the best things to skateboard! if you haven't made one with your friends you need to put it ON YOUR FUCKING BUCKET LIST NOW!!!! Amen... ok that last parts kinda weird but go fucking make a DIY seriously get off your ass please
See now That shows California and Portland are cool states because they care enough to let the skaters DIY ... If it was in shitty NY where I stay they'd been demolish it before it could finish plus major charges will be charged ... That's why I'm moving .. Portland Oregon all day
Rip Grosso! That part at the end where hes talking to the kids is so wholesome :)
Best part
When I'm not skating I'm watching re-runs of grosso' love letters....
+ScottFree hope they will come out asap with the new series!!!
cant wait.
We've got to get Grosso off arse
Oh bro aren't we all?
When I can’t skate I play skate 3 or finger board or, watch this ,R.I.P grosso
Grosso was the perfect dude to tell this story.
this video inspired me to build my own ramp. I'm already dreaming about it.
that Mop handle is pretty diy, haha
I don't think the kids at the end realize who grosso is.
Of course they don't, not that that makes any nohow
They do now.
@@wellrounded68 🙏
Im from Malmo in Sweden. So blessed by Pontus Alv and the DIY scene!
I made my first DIY obstacle today on an abandoned tennis court and it was literally so much fun. It's just as much fun as actually skating it. Everyone, get out there and make your own shit and start your own scene, it is a great feeling.
rest in peace Jeff we all miss you
Just added a diy to my local park. Glad to know Jeff loves me
grosso is such a rad dude
That was me and my buddy when we were younger RIP
That’s awesome keep skating mate it’s the fountain of youth 🤙

Monk freaking help start this shit!! R.I.P
Damn. Grosso quote at the end shows his passion and just how beuine he was
I fuckin love how he sad "fuckin rad" right to those two kids
GermeeJammer that's how we do things down at the skatepark. If you're old enough to roll your ankle trying to do a kick flip, you're old enough to hear someone say "fuck."
There should be a letter to frontside grinds
+Couch Gravity fuckin oath

Folk art at its best.

Awesome Loveltter. Amazing what skaters can achieve.
“My favorite part is that it’s still here” 😂😢 RIP channel street, please re-open soon.

Jeff,,,you rock.
love the boom mic.
This comes into my recommendations now 🤧
grosso's the man!
(: We stole the old half pipe at Latimar Road and built a mini ramp in a friends garden. We also laid the foundation for what you see now in the street section at Meanwhile 2. We first built it out of left over plywood from the mini ramp. Those were fun times (: dodging police and what not. Heart!
nice vid keep em coming!
F.S. Handplant Disaster @ 6:00 mark! Best Thing on UA-cam!
I loved this
Grosso Forever
RIP Big guy, the marathon continues till the sun comes up and I can go skate.
This is why I have a poster of Grosso on my wall.
The county council passed a bill for the Hilo skatepark in 2017 but as of present still no skatepark.
is that a broom handle with a mic taped to it, thats rad
men amongst men.. this letter's for you
Grosso 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Concrete FTW!
We got one of these in where I live finally it's pretty sick
fuck and yeah!
Where can I get the Eazy-E shirt at 2:40?
Just to point this out, the skate park is actually in GTA 5. Theres a garage under a few overpasses and then theres a skatepark. Got the same entrance to the bowl with that oval hole in the side and everything.
yeah dude i saw. that was sick
There are a bunch of skate parks like that
There are but the specifics of this particular park, location style, and key piece are identical to the one that was purposely placed in GTA.
ffs don't mention computer games I the comments to loveletters. go skate😊
so rad man
Lost count of all the ramps and rails (etc.) I built. ? Mad love Jeff.
"probably on my computer or something, not doing much"
"cool man"
hahaha
Dude was like the Bukowski of skateboarding. I miss Grosso.
How can you make one of these things and not get it torn down like the one that got destroyed in San Diego?
Uhh... I think that would get it taken down a lot FASTER...
only if you got caught in bed with her. What I'm getting at is you have to have friends high up in the municipal government, patronage. And to get them, you have to use what you have. If all you have is a skateboard and a big d, your options are limited.
Im sure there is a better solution to making friends in high legislature than plowing the mayor's wife...
Not quit sure maybe they just don't want to spend money to tear it down? I'll get back to you on that one.
TheRetroRenegade I'm skeptical. Sounds like a win-win to me.
My dad and I built a mini quarter pipe in my back yard.
Cool cool.
this shit is realy inspiring!!
Pretty sweet boom there.. :)
For sure, but at least he is out there getting stoked on kids skating and encouraging them to continue. Dude is a fucking bad-ass.
i love living here
Me too!
Only Jeff could say "F*ckin Rad" to kids and no one say anything. RIP Grosso. Grosso Forever!
Go to philly, fdr is right next door.
I want Jeff to tell me it's rad to skate instead of looking at porn.
DO ANOTHER VIDEO ON THIS SUBJECT DUDES
I dont build DIY stuff with cement. But with wood and metal. Shit I got to start doing it with cement because some damn kids always destroy the stuff I build with hard work!
***** They don't even skate
Awe man. Fucking kooks.
haha the ending !
They should come to kauai and upgrade our DIY spot called Boneyards
Grosso!
I dont think those kids realised who they were talking to haha. They will probably look back at it and be like "shit, jeff grosso is awesome and i wasn't stoked on seeing him"
That mad max antihero shirt jeff is wearing is fuckin dope!
We might be the last place on earth to get a skatepark, even third world countries have skateparks before us!! I've lived here in Hilo for over 60 years, maybe I should've moved a long time ago!
Diy has saved us in this town of Hilo on the Big island of Hawaii. Would you believe in this day and age that we still don't have a skatepark?! Something is seriously wrong with this town! Must be some skate haters in power. They have no Aloha and it's sad and shameful.
The city was like fuck it we were going to build a skatepark there anyway might as well let them build it free
RIP BridgeSpot D.C.
Problem is a lot of todays kids just have no respect for anything including themselves. I invested time/money into a small park and argued against local homeowners concerned about crime. They were right! Drugs,booze,trash,loud noise, gangs,destruction. Within a year the county closed it.
1:11, Grosso's face
fuck yea! could not agree more
4:37 i splooged so hard
its true man we just built a little 1/4 and flat bank thing coz our town wont build a skatepark and the place is riddled with kids every night its rad to see. dee eye why cuz no one else will. and why is everyone watching gangnam when they could be watching grossman
So how legal is it to do something like this under a bridge?
I mean, wouldn't it suck if months and money is put into something like this and it gets demolished?
u didn't talk about Project 45
This place got closed down, so sad man
if you build it, they will come...
if you build it well, they will come back...
Every other 7 districts on this island has a skatepark but this town of Hilo which has the biggest population doesn't. Go figure.
always wanted to build a skatepark, but too young and uneducated enough lol
PLEASSSSEEE
black angels
we just started a diy project got a box at the moment and a quarter on the way.check it out
san pedro yhooo i go their if i hav tim 2 go
And now it’s gone :(
Yo Jeff, you probably won't see this but with any shred of luck you might. Check out what happened at Leeside DIY in Vancouver. Me and all the other dudes put a shit ton of work in to that place and some fuckers come by and set fire to it, major bummer over here.
does it have to be concrete to be a diy, or can it be wood?
DIY means Do It Yourself so even a piece of wood against the wall is a DIY.
+Denis Castrillo lol i had wood laying around my garage and slapped that shit on top of something sturdy and made a bank to wallride shits fun.
I didn't want to drive to go to some shitty skatepark anymore
RIP Grosso... Opiate addiction is an evil I'd wish on no man!.. 🪦
i need a car ...
i remember when i was eleven years old i went with my friends to make a DIY at a elementary school ditch. it was hella dirty with leaves, used suringes, and mud. we used a marchall's shopping cart to take any bricks on the side of the street and made a concrete roll in where you could go in super fast into a bonless or whatever 5 tricks me and my friends could even do back then haha. we also brought a wood manny pad and set it against the ditch, i tried setting it on a tree so i could drop in. from that point forward in never skated in shorts without knee high socks AGAIN! haha anyways DIY spots are truly the best things to skateboard! if you haven't made one with your friends you need to put it ON YOUR FUCKING BUCKET LIST NOW!!!!

This is anarchism in action.
there are no rules to sk8n but if there was the #1 rule should "inspirational" first and foremost most!
ment to say inspirational"
What skate park is that in Idaho @3:42
They started building,then over time they got city approval and it does more god than negative and the land would be wasted otherwise
try building it out of wood. you just need to learn how to use a tape measure, saw, and nail gun/drill.
wsvt
HAHAHA OK GROSSO LETS NOT CUSS AT THE LITTLE KIDS MAN
