R.I.P Jeff Grosso.
Heavy duty charger that bonked airs and stalled inverts like no other.
Condolences to friends and family. |

He was such a powerhouse. This is a tremendous loss to our world, but especially Oliver's.
Thanks for the memory, Slob.
First photo i'm a micro inch out of the camera shot—his tail sailed right past my face. Such a powerful skater. Nice fast bowl too!
You should have came over and introduced yourself, brother.
Still can't believe he's gone. |

That was December 2004, before I signed up on S&B. The next day my daughter was born and the next week I broke my femur at the Vans Park. I threw that complete in the closet and never rode it again, still have it. Grosso was hyped on it because it was a shaped board with rails. He picked it up and examined it closely. Whenever I would see him around he would comment on my set up. Last time I skated with him at the Combi in 2012, he walked up - picked up my board and said "right on, Bellmar made this" |

Okay, that's a good excuse. LOL!
VERY COOL. He gave my full size Red Cross Olson w/ OG Thunders modded with 9mm axles, Blackholes, Rockets and Shivs n Shanks rails a look over too. He just went "hmmm" in a cave man like voice. LOL!
He will be missed. |

RIP Jeff Grosso
He gave so much to skateboarding and will be sorely missed.
100% Skateboarder.
I've been watching his clips of his kid on his Insta page and he was so enthusiastic. He had so much to live for. |

Looks like Oliver has taken over his IG account. He's getting tons of love. Awesome to see the support. |
