Grosso's Loveletters - Jeff Phillips

Ditto what Chris Miller said.

R.I.P Grosso

Thank you all for commenting about Jeff, he was one of the best skaters I have and will ever meet. And he was just a great person. His park was amazing, he would fly through it

Most of the time at his skatepark it was just a bunch of kids trying to do basic tricks but then Jeff would show up and we were all in awe watching him do shit that seemed completely impossible to us.

thanks! the invert roll around thingy, fvck!!!!!!

My first pro board ever was a Jeff Phillips tye dye graphic. Before that it was a flea market rad board. After the Phillips, I had the Coca cola Jeff Grosso. Rip Phillips, Rip Grosso. Grosso forever 💔🙏❤️.

🙏👏👏♥️♥️

RIP Grosso, RIP JP

Bachman lake was epic in the 80’s I skated there all of the time. The blue ramp was so steep and the fiberglass was gruesome.

I do not know the background of this professional (I looked for a doc video here) but I can wean because of the timing of his departure that in terms of perfection ages 30-40 are the hardest times when it comes to sexual maturity. It is when you know and do not know how invested you want to be. I hope his story can help others as suicide is something that can happen to anyone under particular circumstances. As for my own story my difficulties centered around the use of alcohol, tobacco, and a few others. When that stopped life returned to me on my terms and not that of a drug or somebody who needed a ride or to be cared for. Seek help and take steps and stop thinking others do not know the difference.

a proper gay twist

can anybody tell me the music they used in this video¨?

Bring back so many memories had jeff Philips deck my first !!

a proper gay twist

a proper gay twist, you had me after that moment jeff and jeff

cool dude et him at our local ramp him, crag Johnson, rode up with Dan in the Hearse that was a hell of a group to watch

Great skater!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff was a true badass..... FACT

How nice of YT to recommend a Phillips video which led to this Love Letter. I reckon he and Grosso are skating together these days :-) RIP hard!

Phillips and Grosso now ripping it up out yonder

So Now that Raemers has gotten ppl talking, can we finally talk about Phillips?

Oh hai.

Frontside Boneless. The Jeff Phillips Experience. Remember reading about his death in Rolling Stone magazine back in 94 . Very sad. One of my favorites growing up.

The blue ramp. Legendary in Dallas. I was too young, but man all I heard about when I started skating was this spot

Love it.....R I P. Both of you

He used to sport tie dye shirts hippy style. Bet he was a deadhead.

That blue ramp is the templet for so many ramps, first wood bowls. Note.

I just saw footy on (Mark Waters channel?) of Jeff Phillips doing a McTwist @ The Clown Ramp. I heard Lester had 540s early on as well.

In a beautiful world Jeff and Jessica would still be with us and Gator and Hosoi would be asking us if we would like fries with that.

The dude was also one of the first couple of skaters to have the balls and skill to attempt a McTwist at Delmar. His athleticism and style was only outmatched by his courage and balls out aggression.

You could walk into the park and when Jeff was there, everything was on a different level of stoke. It was a pleasure to be part of this era of skateboarding.

Wheres Allison? She could have gave mad insight. She is alive and well in the atx.

One of the only people I’ve ever seen live with this type of power and agility on a skateboard from modern-day times is Jeremy Green. Dudes got the attributes Hosoi described. I know there’s many more, but that’s the first that comes to mind

There's not enough video footage of Jeff out there.😢

Fn rad

remember meaning jeff in 1977 thru Worm and never saw him all the way thru hs without a board. amazing rider who was the loudest (power)rider I ever saw

Thats the best footage of Phillips I've ever seen. Thank you for putting this together.

The houston skatepark was legit steel layered ramps. It was scary to skate much less do big airs.

The Jeff Phillips board was for all the bigger guys out there. I bet they sold a ton of them.

PIT OUT SToP

VARIANT

Can some company PLEASE reissue a JEFF PHILLIPS BOARD? For the love of GOD!

RIP Legends !
