Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding Season 7
Skate Rock | Jeff Grosso’s Loveletters to Skateboarding | VANS
It took us a few seasons to get this episode going but it’s worth the wait. Clocking in at just under 25 minutes it’s a mini documentary about the relationship between skateboarders and the music they listen to and create. Like Jake Phelps says: “We’re skateboarders, the music exudes from our bodies”.
Rant and Rave: Crappy Skateboards
After so much Love there has to be some Hate- it’s the duality of the ying yang (or something like that). In this installment of RANT Grosso takes on companies that make crappy skateboards (you know who you are), skate training facilities, skateboarding in the Olympics and of course tucking your knees on frontside airs.
Skaters Have the Best Names
From guys like Shreddi Repas and Skitch Hitchcock in the 70’s, to Mountain, Hawk and Stranger in the 80’s and 90’s, skaters have always had the best names. This episode has no other theme than simply showcasing the skaters who have cool names. Make your own list before you watch.
