Hearing that last part gives me chills. Skate till you can’t live on forever Grosso! Killer dude
It really did play out; his scenario. He didn't exactly die on his board. But he didn't ever not have the ability to skate while he was alive. Not many will be as lucky.
miss him so much already. If you have any other Grosso, that would be greatly appreciated.
I rewatch Grosso regularly, whether it's old footage, Van's Pool Party, or The Letters. Any footage of Grosso absolutely NEEDS to be published. He was, is, and will always be the Soul of Skateboarding. He is the reverence, the lawlessness, the emotion and the blatant disregard. Two days ago, one day before my 46th birthday, I saw a younger man pushing through my neighborhood to the end of the cul de sac. Gardening, with a glass full of bourbon, I watched as he began working to teach my neighbor's little munchkin how to roll down the driveway. I dragged ass in the garden hoping to find the right opportunity to go thank him for taking his time to teach this knee high little girl, who is unaware of Lizzie and Nora, the joy of skating. What we have all been a part of is nothing short of magnificent. Grosso for fucking ever! And I mean that. Find your inner Grosso. Appreciate what we have been given and never stop caring for it.
I’m so grateful to Grosso...he’s one of the main guys that got me back into skateboarding... I find myself listening to him a lot, RIP Jeff...
RIP Grosso. 🖤🛹
The skate world needs more exposure to Lucero's pure skatetasticness.
Personally my fucking favorite Weekend Buzz so far , two legends , Jeff is hilarious and John seems the coolest dude to kick it with, makes me like Black Label skateboards even more.
+Dalton Barnes This isn't a Free Lunch but that's a good idea.
+RIDE Channel HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
+RIDE Channel lmfao
So this isn't 60 minutes?!
Haha. Would still be best free lunch tho. Truth!! Long live BlackLabel !!!!!
grosso is the best fucking guest you all have ever had. dude tells it how it is and doesn't sugarcoat shit.
Best episode of the Buzz yet. Grosso and Lucero are the shit
"Blockhead and the Kook." That's just perfect.
More like rockhead and the kook
fuckin love grosso
Great skateboarder, blunt person in general, real ass nigga in all I been fuckin wit him since forever. Shout out anti hero too, best team EVER no fucking debate.
I'd love to hear grossos perspective on supreme
This.
I have an idea of what he'd say
Definitely and all the hype brands out there
It'd be an interesting perspective for sure, although Anti Hero collaborated with Supreme last year so if anyone expects him to be all 'fuck Supreme' you're gonna be disappointed. Maybe.
Isn't supreme like 20+ years old though? Only now has it blown up to what it is...
gonna be a sad day when Grosso cant skate.
LoveLetters needs to come back sooner
Syl the day has come when Grosso can no longer skate. It’s a sad day for all of us skateboarders. He never stopped. He pushed till the end. RIP
17:49 ....truer words have never been spoken
imagining how lucero feels atm breaks my little heart
I know, I started watching the Van's tribute and had to stop. Started rewatching these old shows and I was thinking the same thing. Lucero lost his little brother.
Grosso, you are the man. The pain and fear u describe about not even skating to the store, just rolling, i get u. Im only 43, but for us now, thats "old." i get suicidal thinking about never standing on a board again, doing my only joy in life. And John n u talking skate "types", theres skaters n "athletes". Skaters are punk rock at core. Others are future stage parents, screaming "do a mctwist or no pony!" at lil jane or jimmy. I have so much love n respect for you n JL.
Grosso and the letters inspired me to get back into skating at 48...damn I miss him.
John Lucero was on point with the weirdos discussion. weirdos are skateboarding.
Ironically what I got out of the Bones Brigade documentary is a huge admiration for all the guys of that era and especially Lance Mountain.
@@frankiew311 I don't think he was jealous. He just wanted more respected for Lance because that's his friend. And rightfully so, I kinda felt like they downplayed Lance's contributions to skateboarding.
Getting through Quarantine with a healthy dose of Grosso. Miss him. Glad we have all these videos.
It seems like the older dudes tend to have the better interviews...the younger skaters don't seem to have a lot to talk about...
RapedByRepublicansII Hahaha nicely put!
bc they're all fried
Because by and large, younger skaters don't have the knowledge NOR the respect of the guys who pioneered their sport and made what they're reaping the benefits of, possible. They're all a bunch of stoned morons, who glorify getting drunk and high. It seems to me, that's a larger part of the whole scene now, than the skating itself. John Lucero is a fucking legend. You're welcome.
Life experiences man. If you are a skater for 30+, chances are u been through it
As a fellow 47 going on 48 year old skateboarder, Jeff's closing lines were the realist sh*t ever, I feel you man... Skate for life!
one of the best episodes....this could go on for days.
+SlimNic Clipz I wish it would. I could sit and listen to these guys for hours.
Why would anyone hate on this? True skateboarding.
Dosent get much better than this !!! ....... Great job Ride Team , Cant wait for pt2.
This is seriously the best episode so far. Make this a 4 part!!!
this should have been an hour-long
19:12
REST IN PEACE LEGEND
Great episode! Can't wait for part 2! I want to hear more from Lucero! For the record....LANCE MOUNTAIN is the MAN!!!
I could just listen to Jeff all day, long may we hear him rant, spew and recite all things skateboarding!
Forever grosso!! I started watching love letters after breaking my back from a drunken escapade climbing a tree and grosso's words never rang truer, all I could think about was the fact I nearly lost use of my legs and all I wanted to do was skate. The hunger for living and get back on my wooden toy kept me alive. If I couldn't skate I didn't want to be here.
💯🎯
Best episode yet so hyped Jeff quit smoking congrats Grosso ! Cant wait for episode two.
Wow hands down best episode yet. Almost made me tear up at the end.
can't wait for part 2!
best episode yet, need to see part 2 already and there needs to be more that just two parts, lucero and grosso are the dudes.
+Ken Kaniff
Weekly buzz with these two or just Grosso needs to be a thing.
I would love to hear Jeffs opinion on guys today who collect vintage 80's skateboards and the thousands of dollars they are spending to get them.
Grosso and the letters is one of the main things that inspired me to get back into skating... I love his brutal honesty, the world needs much more of that. RIP Grosso and thanks!
Wish I knew a guy like Jeff Grosso.
Great episode! I cried at the end.
Always good to hear Jeff, great stuff.
Spot on impression of dill by grosso haha
God damn I love these guys! Best Weekend Buzz episode ever.
Liked and favorited even before I started the video, with these two you know it's gonna be good!
good one guys...loving the longer episodes again....need stuff to listen to in traffic....this rips
thank you to grosso for keeping skateboarding honest and accountable.
Finally a weekend buzz actually worth watching.
"The day I cant skateboard anymore is the day I die" Never heard something so true. I love this shit..
StraightUpSB I stay true to this to this day!!!!!
by far the best Weekend Buzz ever
-DVS
Watched Grosso and Lucero in the magazines growing up love the history I’ll be 47 this year just bought a new setup people are like why would you do that at your age, “FUCK YOU “ that’s why good stuff guys enjoying it
Grosso and the letters inspired me to get back into skating 8 months ago at 47... some people were totally negative and tried to guilt trip me saying it’s irresponsible at ‘my age’. Hence they’re not friends any more! I only wish I’d never stopped...but it’s good to be back...
Love it when they have mature smart people like Lucero on being honest and mellow.
Great comment by Grosso "It's my truth. Doesn't make it the truth." So many people think because someone makes a claim or gives an opinion that's loud, kinda makes sense, and is a bit against the grain, it must be the truth. Not so.
They should have the original blind team from video days...
Brink is legit. He's so good at starting legit conversations, asking good questions, and getting perspectives from the people all of us long time skaters want to hear talk. Thanks Rob!
Seriously, maybe the best skateboarding broadcaster
Jeff is the dude
Best episode ever can't wait for part 2
Ive been avoiding anything skate related for months because of back problems... had to watch this tho. Awesome interview! Grosso, lets here more about the rabbit hole of back injuries and the struggle to get back on the wooden toy!!
Im surprised the comments arent crying about Grosso speaking some truth. I love these dudes
17:47 is something I`ve been wanting to be told for a while now, especially in my generation, where people nowadays skate and its so much more accessible, and they get good but they eventually quit for whatever reason, mostly cuz the like sports more, then theres the straight skaters like me that just don't give a shit about sports and just want to skate and actually make something out of it
Michael Sanchez heard that
Amen
Hahaahaha “ how do you forcefully remove a Grosso?” Best quote ever
Google very old contest footage of Lucero and see how Gnar he was and ahead of his time....impressive stuff Lucero!!!
**I saw a early 1980's contest and they all looked stiff and upright and here comes Lucero doing these backside pivots off the coping of quarter pipes and launch ramps INSTEAD of doing gay melon grabs etc....
**INSTANTLY reminds me of The Gonz doing 180 grinds and half cabs 50/50 and noseslides when everyone like Cab,Hosie,Danforth we're all just railsliding the 200 foot railslide..
The innovation was soo ahead of it's time. Just like The Boss and Ali Boulala frontside flips we're ahead of theyre time...
just thought i'd throw that out there for Lucero...
i love these videos and also looking at the signature wall
This by far is one of the best, Russo and Lucero speaks the truth about skaters and skateboarding
Hey Jeff, hope you have been able to get on your board man. I just want to say I have had two back surgeries at 40 yrs and still skate despite the pain. I know you will do the same. What I learned is Ill have pain anyway, Might as well be shredding. That is it.
Looking forward to this interview. I saw Lucero and Grosso demo back in Whittier. Still got my signed Toy Blocks sticker from Grosso.
this made my rainy day
Grosso is Hall of Fame Old Man Skateboarder #omsdailyskate #oms
I'm liking the ambience of the candle haha
Skateboarding is full of jocks now .... Sorry it's the sad truth ...
+Riley Ulrich true, you can go skating with people or go to a skatepark and just not fit in now, it's fucking weird, i'm not even old yet and it's off putting.
+Garf2O take Nyjah for instance , don't get me wrong he's an amazing fucking skater but a complete and total frat boy jock ..... Along with about 20 others that are huge right now . :-(
+Garf2O That's oddly true. I remember when skateparks had legit weirdos. Some guy going ballistic on the quarter pipe, and my friends and I trying to board slide the high rail. Now it seems like a football field where people are trying to bust a nut on everything non stop. Where's the creativity and atmosphere?
@Orange_Man_Rad your park is FDR of course there's freaks there
Ending is the best truth thank you
Grosso rocks!
great way to end pt 1
2 of the great's of skateboarding.
This show is refreshing.
brilliant weekend buzz
Best one ever. Someone make a documentary of Grosso.
"There's too many of us, there's too many of us, there's too many of us, there's too many of us... Let's start a war! Jack up the DOW Jones!" Great reference. Grosso's the shit. As is Lucero and Dill.
The end of the interview gave me goosebumps bc it was so real long live grosso. That took a lot of balls
I've be called weird so many times. Sk8 for life
Grosso's Fear reference
+Justin San Agustin Yeah, I had to rewind that to make sure I heard it right!
There is really is too many of us
What's that from? Care to let others in on it, or are you like the rest of the hipsters that can't share, cus their daddy didn't teach them to.
Loveletters was my fav show on youtube, sad it's over.
Solid choice getting these two together
This right here is the closest thing to Education on the internet I've seen since I was trying to learn a bit of Brazilian Portuguese on CZcams 👍😄🐘🙏👽 Grosso Forever
Thanx Boyz.
Grosso and Lucero are classics. And leave it to Grosso to break it down to brass tacks. That last rant about if he couldn't skate anymore really hits home.
I’m not tearing up at the end of this episode there’s dust in my room!
hearing Jeff talk about not being able to skate got heavy. I'm currently hurt and miss my board something fierce
Grosso the man always speaking facts
Grosso always tells it like it is
Hell yeah, love when Grosso calls people out on their fake ass shit. Lance is rad, adapted during the whole small wheels big pants thing and still kept ripping vert until it came back into the public eye again. I want to see more of Grosso just talking, skating also, but he's totally unabashed and isn't scared to tell embarrassing story about himself.
Best episode ever. The day I can't skate is the day I die.. well said grosso
Some real shit. Love both these dudes. Any any other dudes that speak the truth and arnt afraid to say shit. Good job on this one ride!
Funny how dill would say "we gotta make them like world boards. Why can't we be more like world industries?" Then he ended up on 101
Awesome :)
Fear let's have a war! Agreed Jeff that day when I can't roll down to the store on my wooden toy is the day I die
i think i prefer watching jeff grosso interviews to skate videos. I could listen to him all day
glad to see that the beer doesn't figure as prominently as it once did... the beer props just look lame and cheap....
This is awesome! I am old, 45. Jeez. I am a *weirdo. Hellz yeah! Rock the fuck on!
The two best dudes skateboarding is/was blessed to have, Grosso forever.
best episode yet, fuckin legends!
Every time Grosso speaks his mind I like him a bit more.
Great fucking episode. Grosso is the Man. Get Leo & Jimmy on here that would be a hilarious episode
You know about 80% of the kids watching this have NO idea who these guys are or what they're talking about and are sitting their bitching "where's nyjah or honey brand? Bring in Nike"
NIKE IS NOT,,SKATEBOARDING!
WHATS NEXT?? NIKE TAMPONS? NIKE TACOS!!!!
What a great fucking interview... Love these guys
So much truth, Grosso is the man!
