Word has spread that iconic skateboarder Jeff Grosso has passed. We are unsure of details, but our thoughts go out to Jeff’s family, friends and the wider skateboarding community. Jeff was one of a kind. He’ll be missed.

Jeff Grosso, the original “brat” skater! As seen in the Santa Cruz Speed Wheels video “Speed Freaks!”

Call him a philosopher or simply a ‘real talker’. Jeff had a true love for skateboarding. His “Loveletters” are undeniable evidence of that.
