Jeff Grosso

Jeff Grosso was a vert and pool skater from Arcadia, California, who turned pro as a teenager in the 1980s and had well-known models with Schmitt Stix and Santa Cruz, including the Toybox graphic. After his career stalled in the early 1990s he returned to skating, later joined Anti Hero in 2011, and rode for Vans for almost four decades. He became widely loved as the host of the Vans web series Love Letters to Skateboarding, and died in March 2020, aged 51.
