If skating was born from surfing and surfing originated in Hawaii then Hawaii is skateboarding's mecca. Jeff Grosso ends Season 10 with a deep dive into the roots of what we talk about when we talk about love.

The last few videos that came out like Baker 4 & Programing Injection I noticed after landing tricks the surf style really manifests, especially the little imperfections like a tic tac out for Colin over the fence or Figgy's little power slides after landing, Baca after the Curved/Lamps rail he saves it looking like he's almost coming through a full white water pipe. Martinez down the car wash bank is going like Mach 10 right when a surfer drops into a massive wave. I love those moments in skating. 🌊

Damn. I miss looking forward to a new Love Letter. Guess it's over now. Jeff, you have moved on without the rest of us. We wish you peace, bliss, tuck knees, and stale fish airs. You are and always will be skateboardings biggest fan. You set an amazing example of not taking any of it too seriously and most importantly to get out there and have fun. Remember the old skool and "tuck your fucking knee". ❤ from southern Indiana. ✌

Enjoy Grosso vids...makes me want to play with my blocks and toy box again. Archangel with demon still the best graphic ever!!! Few decks made such an impact on me in skating as Grosso with a great shape to boot. Lucero, Blender and Gonz after him. Great insight to foreign skating history. Christian is cool as hell too. I remember going to the movies watching Gleaming. The foundation...respect.

Rip grosso! This dude grosso indirectly shaped my veiws of skating from 2015-2020 i cried when i heard he died right infront of my mom too, and didnt even meet the dude... that my friends is how poweful skateboarding and its culture can be! instilling the values of skating from the begining, it is important the ideas of emphysis on style, and knowing the importance of not just style but indivduality and comraderie! We gotta keep those values alive so the next generation can be led in i guess a more natural/healthy way i guess things do change for sure for the better but imo if we can keep alive atleast the importance of style and comraderie alive we will be ok! 2k21 and infinity! thats my thoughts for today haha 👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤(;
