- Jeff Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding - The Backside Air, is the 1st episode of the 6th season.
The backside is one of the building blocks of getting rad. It’s so basic that most don’t give it the credit it deserves. In this episode Jeff sits down with the pioneers of the Bionic Air and schools some of the kids who are taking airs to the next level.
Music:
"When You Go By" by 1776, "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Shawn Lee "We're Out" by 1776, and "Brainwave" by Nomo

RIP Jeff. One of my favorite episodes of loveletters
I still remember the day I learned how to do back to back backside airs going higher and higher each time. Best feeling ever!
ErgoCogita that just happened to me
Miller deserves as much credit as Hosoi for "stylizing" airs. He tweaked & contorted like no other. We never said "tweak air", we said "nose-bone" or "tail-bone", "cross-bone" or "boned out" in general.
I am 60 years old and and what upsets me more about my skating from back in the day was my backside airs. I could barely do them and barely out but I could launch frontside airs all day long. That bums me out! RIP Jeff❤🤙
I really fucking love these letters! I've been eating ramen noodles all week to save enough money to buy the Grosso guest deck that Shipyard Skates made, hopefully one day I can meet the man himself and get it signed (I'm not usually into autographs but that one would go up on the wall for sure). Thank you Jeff, for everything you do.
Swear to god im gonna learn these or I start rollerblading
***** yesssss.
did you get them or are you at the local roller rink lol
+Dub Press Distribution hahahaha
jus scrap tail and eventually youll get em. im getting mine down too but im ocd about the BSA. I love em
do dope
Damn i love how Stabb says "if theres no vert I'm out!" I still feel that way.
I used to hate that line but damn now that I skate bigger ramps I fuckin feel it
Hey Vans and Jeff G., just gotta say, you're doing a serious service to skateboarding by documenting these points and people- and putting this history out to the world. Respect- and thank you. *A.
Thanks for watching Andrew! Check out our latest from Jeff Grosso's Loveletters here: bit.ly/2rI4wJn
Dope video, guys. Thanks for posting. At 38, I'm in the generation of skaters right after you guys and it's tough to be the old guy at the skatepark sometimes. It's nice to connect with the history of it from time to time.
We appreciate the support, Steve! Keep on skating, brother! If you're interested, feel free to check out more Jeff Grosso videos here: bit.ly/2dJ41tH
I'm 38 (now). It's not that bad! :)

One of the best things left on youtube. Thanks Jeff.
This is the best show on CZcams!!!! Thanks JG!!!
About time. Love it. Thank you Jeff, Buddy, Coan.
Thank God he's back. Was stoked to see the old man in Propeller! Great show as always. Thank you.
Cory Newton always. y'know what the end is like - cockroaches, Grosso & Keith Richards.

Ben Pyle nothing keeps the dude down.
That's why we love him
He's in the forefront of life haha
O Jeff amava verdadeiramente o skate. Saudades desse incrível programa.
Thank you Jeff
ABOUT TIME !!!!
Glad love letters came back ❤️
Andrecht and Ruff were definitely heroes when i was a teenager 🤗
Welcome back!!!
Going through and watching all these again. I think I need to write a LoveLetter to LoveLetters in an upcoming episode of my show. Making a note now.
Such dope shit.
Its like a time capsule of skating history.
I remember my first good backside air, at Skatetime on the Clownrap.
(Early Grab) haha. It felt good anyway! WhatUp Jeff Grosso from Dallas, TX
The letters have taught me everything I need to know about skatings history!
looks like I'm rewatching all the Loveletters again
I was missing the love letters glad its back 😊
Thanks for the history lesson..some people need it
Finally more love letters!💌
So I started basket weaving today. Hoping to make it pro soon.
I just ordered a reissue and a new pair of old school vans. Thanks a lot.
good to see there is no division in who they interview
dan goggs for sure! it's a party.
Of course TH was the ultimate trickster (innovator, inventor) but Hosoi & Miller, especially showed us the importance & ultra-coolness of being stylish & unique, not to mention aggro, bionic, GNARLY.
watched it 3 times so far and fit in time to skate a backyard bowl
REQUESTING a LL all about noseslide, tailslide and blunts !!!
phuckin LOVE LOVE this show like my firstborn (if i had one)
this has been inspiring ahaha
Awesome episode, i've watched it a few times and it hypes me up for a skate every time. Maybe a little too much today though, i tried a backside air somewhere i had no business trying, ate shit and i think i rebroke my wrist as it had only healed from being broken a month and a half ago hahahahaha. Anyways keep up the awesome show guys, its Gnarly as fuck!
Thanks for the love! Keep hitting those backside airs and hope you have a speedy recovery. Catch the rest of Grosso's Loveletters here: bit.ly/2h2DBDf
I live in the middle of the fucking Midwest. The area I live in is like a black hole for vertical skating. Back in the 80s vert was everywhere but now all I dream about is a backside air on vert and no vert around its like a bad dream. One of these years I will win lottery and build my own.
dedicated to JEFF GROSSO!!!!
Get some Beers and a pack of friends. Blast some tunes!…. High backside Airs! 🤙🍺🍺
Yessss
🔥🔥🔥
We miss you Grosso
Bout time Jeffrey, now do another series!
HOW ABOUT A FUCKING LOVELETTER TO MARK GONZALES
+Ian Mactavish yes! or gonz and natas!

:)
I remember watching little Hosoi, riding for Sims I believe, he had the one with a fingerprint as a graphic, he was going over the fence in the holiday bowl at the Colton Ranch. Was way bio...

Bodyjars......Soooooo rad!

5:56 holy shit that's my local skatepark, Caloundra, Australia. Really weird to see it in a video with a bunch of American skate legends
Polar Bear from Venice was possibly the first successful backside air. This is Adam (Freeballs), an old friend of Buddy and Rick's.
this video made me want to learn this trick i’m so close
Jay at the fruit bowl in garden Grove, I was there 👍 good time,s
🤘🏻
You should one for the del mar park
Shawn Solomon noted.
T-mag deserves a mention here.
I would love to know what ever happened to David Z. Is he still around and skating? I'm not familiar with his story.
This was a fascinating episode.
Being a 90s skate rat on the East Coast we spent all of our time in the streets-
there wasn't half pipes for us to learn those big above coping air.
Billy confounded by magazine technology at 8:30.
Rest in Peace Grosso. ♥
