#Skateboarding #Podcast #Interview

All Comments (21)
  • RIP to the truest skateboarder there ever was. “Now go out and skate”
  • @RichardGrijalva
    Years on from Grosso's passing, this interview just hits all the best notes and lays it all out. It brought out Grosso's warmth, charisma, honesty, and sense of humor.
  • @yesbwana
    Please release the full [ [ 6 HOUR INTERVIEW ] ] , Jeff said he was happy to stand by every word and now there's no need to save him from loosing any sponsors. You know it's what he would have wanted.
  • @TravisG029
    R.I.P. Grosso. Can't tell y'all what guys like Jeff meant to my teenage years and even more as an old dude when he started doing Love letters.
  • @TheGuyBoys
    When Grosso said "when I can't skate things don't work right" I felt that deep.
  • @Rand_al_Thor372
    You guys HAVE TO release the full interview. All 6 hours of it, uncut, uncensored. He deserves it. We lost our keeper of the knowledge, our griot. He cant be fired now, let him have the longest episode. Break it up into 2 if you must, but release the full 6 hours. PLEASE!!! heroin warts & all, we need it.
  • @jwm2352
    seeing him on the Thrasher cover was one of the raddest and most heartwarming things I've ever seen. but in the back of my head I could hear Grosso saying "rad....i only had to die to finally get a cover"...lol. RIP Jeff, we love you
  • @mateoito8266
    RIP Please 9club do justice to him and release the uncut version. He deserves it. :(
  • @Cryptvk
    Just heard the news. Such a sad day, rest in peace legend.
  • @basslandpdx
    Skateboardings most outspoken and onpoint legend.
  • @brawldawg8729
    He didn't just love skateboarding, he needed it. Be passionate and live a truly full life, kids. RIP Grosso
  • Grosso was the Skater who understands we’re this deep feeling of being with your board and where it takes you in life. He IS the skaters voice of millions. We are still laughing, agreeing and getting your message……. Never forgotten bro
  • @jpeeps76
    Talking about overcoming drug and alcohol addiction is an awesome thing to do! Don't ever stop! It shows people that living without dope is not impossible. Getting sober is one of the hardest thing I've ever done. I was on a similar path as Jeff and I am very proud of the fact that I kicked a 20+ year heroin and booze addiction!
  • @joedaddy828
    My eyes started watering the second he started talking about making it to 70. If only 😢😢. RIP Jeff Grosso
  • @johnmiller5373
    Rip Grosso....this one came as a shocker...he seemed to be in a good place in life...condolences to his family...
  • @AAnt1993
    100% agree with what he said about the Olympics
  • @nathanherms4811
    Had to watch this after hearing the news. This dude is raw. It's a sad day for skateboarding
  • RIP Mr. Grosso. Even though we weren't close friends I did really value the few conversations that we had and really valued your support.
  • Grosso flows the good, the bad, and the unfiltered honesty. This is an epic testimony of legendary status.
  • Grosso has a great habit of hitting the nail on the head. Always says some shit that rocks you to the core. I feel like I have to skate pretty much everyday or life starts to shut down; anxiety, anger and depression. Nine Club always killin it with the guests.
