I quit my job to learn frontside airs.
Patrick Ancona
Inches = “
Awesome!!!🤙🏼 I quit mine for methods.
Through my extensive history - I'd like to nominate you with top 5 moments in CZcams comment land.
@@off.pudding who is it and I'm dying to hear the 5 comments. Lol
I could watch the letters over and over, brings me back to the good ole days of board slides, waxed curbs, running from the police for skating the parking lots with "no skateboarding" signs. rest in peace Grosso !!!!
When both of your back wheels leave the lip it's the greatest feeling ever!🙏🍕🙏
This is great. I got half a foot and landed it. Felt pretty good. Fell the next time....Just kind of layed there....took forever for me to get up. Good laugh for the younger kids.
“If you’re flying through the air, your doing something right!” I’m using this
RIP grosso I dropped in for the first time after watching a loveletters episode I learn so much from watching these old videos and learning about how everything came to be
when I don't feel like skateboarding I just watch a loveletters episode and it always works
RIP Jeff grosso you where one if the best skateboardrs. In skateboarding history. You will be missed Jeff
"I'll believe it when kids fly!"
Sad but sweet to see the bit at the end with Grosso and his son.
I love you Grossman! Thanks for introducing me to the rawest level of skating all these years
Hey, Tyler! Thanks for sharing that. If you thought this was rad, catch more from Jeff Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding here: bit.ly/2yDCO51
I learned airs this year, fs and bs. I'm still early grabbing backside but I'm popping fs ones over the coping and grabbing late.
Danny way broke his ankle on the practice jump of the mega ramp, went back the next day and stomped it twice. Dude is a beast
My head fell off doing a tasty method air over Sydney harbour and you know what .... next day i went back and nailed it.;
@@jayc1676 rad, got any footage?
I’ve seen every episode of love letters and I could watch grosso talk skating for 10 mins every day!
I don't. Know what it is,but from the moment these here letters came out i was hooked,maybe its an era thing,but i think its grosso's attitude,the dude is a tru o.g.a 80's vert viking,and i remember being a dumb teen who almost shaved my brows after the powell movie,...almost.but when these things come out ev week im watchin,tappin the screen saying to myself damn these thing's r 2 short,hoping for a long one!but i think its because Jeff was a screw up just like so many of us were,and was able to straighten his shit out,and he brought an extra 40 lbs around his wast!and he still jams!hope the letters don't stop!they hold weight in my book!!
Thank you for sharing. Love listening to the OGs. I'm 29 in march and have been skating since 2001 so I just barely missed the golden days of skating.
they are so rewaxthable. I do a surfing one and have c flect or archy or one of the sc 90s dudes
Pedro Barros!!!!!
Grosso telling you to fuck off and go skate is one of my favourite parts everytime!
Grosso's so happy
All Hail Cardiel!
Always a highlight of the day when you post one of these, next to actually skating ;) Grosso's commentary was the best thing about the last bowl contest, just as an aside :D
Love this, Love skateboarding. Keep it going Grosso. More air more fun.
GOD BLESS GROSSO .dude is the textbook definition of skating and punk fucking rock
Love it, love it so damn much. Just got fs airs down. Keep on inspiring and changing lives!
Grosso=good Man,representing love for life and that which we love.
Also whatever that droning song is in the beginning it's dope. The repetition really gets me in the zone.
of all the tricks ever invented i still love gettin air the most, possibly a tie with the invert which i would do everywhere, curbs ramps anything LOVE that trick and Bobby Valdez lived right next door to my best friend in junior high when i was a kid, I was so obsessed with that trick and still am.
So stoked to see Cheap Skates!!! Best vert ramp ever!! Skating with Tom Boyle and Sean Miller!! RIP to both of those guys!! Along with so many other people!! Valley with his "Snake Man" grip tape!! LOL!!! Best days of skating for me!! Head high Meloncoly Half Cabs!! Fuck'n fun!!!
Fishtown BikesnBeans fuck yeah, cheapskates footage! still have my ID card from ‘98
I like the backyard pool footage from skateboard madness added in there at 2:40.
70's and early 80,s are my time..The gods and legends were made...
Best Love Letters yet Grosso.
Awesome shit !!!!
So much respect for the vert killers,dam there was sum big airs...
I remember seeing Hosoi's "Christ Air" and was blown away by that - it was an amazing era.
this makes me wanna go skate
Love the footage of Cedar Crest Country Club......skate like a man !!!!
Nolan Johnson is one of the best arial enthusiasts.
Skatebarn! Hampstead NC 9:18 rIP Phil Shao
Love Grossman. Faves: 1)Andrecht's bio, 2)Holmes and Losi doing those alley-oop body jars in Chuck Taylors.
Love this!
I didn't see it in this episode, but Jordan Richter's "Video Days" ender was a backside alley oop to fakie that has no equal.
Good job Grosso!
@34sec in and I liked it!!!!
SO glad they included that choice Alva shot. The one on the cover of "The Action is Go" by Fu Manchu. Just such a good shot.
True. that album cover is epic.
Waiting on a Neil Blender Love Note since he wont do a Love Letter
RIP to the greatest host of a skate series EVER.
Sicky sound tracky!
I'm old ,I remember sky hooks.
Love u Grosso
Airs are the best!
Mike Frazier's opening part in Powell "8"....i'd get nervous just watching that one! So fast...so much power..
homemade launch ramps
Were pure fun.
@a w remember going as fast as u could when we were kids and launching to the grass or what ever. Man that was huge air back then. 😄
Beautiful
Nice Lester footage from the Cambodia Ramp Jam!
Shout out to Lee Ralph straight from another kiwi down in New Zealand. Chur brother
A couple of years ago there was talk of a Lee Ralph documentary but I'm not sure if it ever came out. The guy is a legend. Cheers from Canada!
I saw him at a demo with Rob Roskopp in central California back then. Just big temporary ramps in a parking lot. He did this huge air from one ramp to another one set up near it, locals talked about it for years
😂😂😂😂😂 I miss him so much.
Another ep that feels like it could have been twice as long. Lot of other vert rippers that could have been mentioned (McGill, Staab, Nolder, Groholski, so many others).
I was at the Crest when T Mag went well over 10 feet out.....feel the steel....
Hell yes
That Japan air at 7:29 is so fucking rad!
Glad he mentioned lincoln, that dude was 2 foot plus above anyone in that time period.
I am 60 years old now but in my teens into my early 30s I skated a lot. I had frontside airs wired over coping but my backside airs not that great. I could pull them off every now and then.
Yes Wade Speyer!
Yaay
Stop telling me to go skate, i watch this when it rains
Cool stuuf! Pedro Barros could be mentioned.
Tim Upson! Best 90s East Coast charger... Credit is do!
I love tha slango
RIP Grosso 🤘
Valsurf! Order your board in mail,remember. They cost the same today as back then..
You should do an episode on Gator, just so we can watch Grosso rant and rage
Grosso himself said he will never do a episode on Gator, he only mentions him when he has to give him credits' trick-wise. Gator was Jeffs friend, but the girl he killed was too, so i guess that out of respect to her, Grosso won't touch that shit
Yep that was a sad and horrible thing.
rest in power blaze
They Owe!
Somewhere.... Andy Mac shed a tear for not getting his mega ramp cred
Yup, i believe hes the one who started it way back in 2000..coz i have it my TWS mag
kreekybones '99 in Jamie Johnson's big brother's backyard in Okemos, MI...
Andy's not crying, he's skating.
Don't weep for Andy, he has a cushy gig on the 9 Club.
My art teacher at eagle rock high was Ed Nadalin sister.... I road the first eagle rock ramp 1980....
I AM A SKATEBOARDER BUT WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO AIR?
Try early-grabs first then adapt them to an ollie air. Worked for me dude. Good luck 😎
learn ollies fs bs it help to :) no need to blast that big ollie but under coping is good for memory muscle
Noes grab
Not sure if this was mentioned by somebody in earlier comments, however here it is. First Judo Air ? Adrian Demain. I am passing on the Anti-Judo, ask Blender or Lance
man.those guys are like the big surf wave riders.the most extreme form of their field.i dont have that at all.man.
Danny way!!!!
Hey Jeff next letter should be about boards going flat to concave,remember that s.alba Bevel board that thing felt so flicking weird the place your feet on it ,right.
AIRS ARE WHAT TRULY MAKE SKATING NEXT LEVEL.
THE ROLL IS THE LOVE, THE AIR IS THE FUCKING, AND LANDING IS THE ORGASM.
Chris Miller Leon airs are so sexy and cabs airs just look like he's not even trying effortless so amazing.
Airs are fuckin' awesome!!
Getting down is getting down
Fuck yeah Grosso OG
6:38 is the meanest shit i ever seen
Trevor Hanley I used to try that toes only backside Ollie.......on a mini ramp.
Alan Peterson! Consolidated skateboards! Fvck yeah!
7:56 Ross Goodman fakie air!
God dammit, pretty much the skate season's over here where I live (rain, soon snow and unfortunately the indoor options are super shitty), and now I'm super stoked about going "doing something right", but I can't... at least not today.
