The New Orleans DIY skatepark “ Parisite” is THRIVING!!!! Thanks for showcasing how tough it is for DIYs to stand the test of time, illegal to legal, etc.
Thank you Jeff Grosso. These letters are the angelic whispers sent from the Skate Gods as you are the medium through which we learn.

Hearing Barbara Boxer call skating healthy and wholesome is surreal 😂🤘
Grosso is the best youtuber (sorry to call you that) because he is the only one that EVER says 'turn this shit off and go skate'
I've skated Channel st. many times... a place of evolution for sure... FDR is gnar gnar to the fullest!!! Respect to every builder and skater out there!!!! Blood, sweat, and tears!!!!
Iconic Episode I Say. Thank You Jeff G. & The Love Letters! Shouts To “Slashers” For Rocking. Inspire To Aspire & Go Higher..
My house was the skate park. My parents were fucking awesome and let me build whatever we wanted. It started out my construction career.

My best mate's house was like that too, dad figured it would be good for us to learn carpentry would keep us out of trouble (for the most part). 35 years later we're still skating and building and it's now my kids are doing the same at my house (although with less stolen lumber). Cheers to parents with open minds.

Grosso! You’ve inspired me to pick up a board again! I haven’t consistently skated since 1989! You’ve put the skate bug back in my mind! You’re the best dude!

Just getting back after 15 years mostly from being the last man standing and I alway felt a bit lame and ashamed when I’d come across a kid on a board. Now have a two year and 6 month year old and my week old new set up with one coming for the toddler via Santa so glad to be back and with weather and just almost too busy of a home life this series keeps me pumped. Slowly trying to the kids balance down to ride so we can start on transitions so then I can get on my board without worrying where my scooter kid is mountain climbing the main session spot lol.
Another great Letters Grosso! Sam Hitz is hilarious. Last episode was great too. Keep'em coming buddy.
Great episode, Jeff (and team). Thanks.
I love when Jeff took the biggest joint rip and tried to play it off like a cig 😂🤘🏼great episode
Thanks Jeff! Awarding winning segment, solid skate communities!🤝🏼✊🏼
Diy for life! That intro song was hilarious btw :D Thanks for sharing all this great material!
The music in this episode was top notch.
So good, been checking every day. For new letters. Thank you guys!
"Get it while you can." That epitomizes the genre. :)
Much appreciated Grossman! ...God I love The Letters ...❤️
jeff i want a loveletter dedicated soley to the bonless
Always spoke the truth and this is no exception. A legendary guy.
LOVE IT ! GREAT LONG EPISODE.. THANKS !
Great episode! Love this!
I miss the Davenport DIY. Kickin it on the couch while the sun sets on the ocean. Needlessly destroyed but the memories remain.
Pure motivation, I love it.
Love vans always give you credit
These love letters keep getting better
Thank you Jeff grosso
The letters are so inspiring, thank you
Thank you all for what we do. Keep skating. Keep building. Because it's for us. And our future
this is the best Barbara Boxer ad ever
yo cheers grosso for bringin us the letters man!! best thing on u tube for real shot brother..... much luv!! up on the down side New Zealand 🤙
Jeff's back on the cigs -_- amazing episode like always , tho you
Love this shit...keep it coming Grosso Legend!!!
Burnside needs some of the artist to do it up. Huge concrete canvas begging for some love on it.
Just googled that park and it looks amazing!
Finaly! Someone's talking about FDR.
that was beautiful, makes me wanna skate
Keep killing it grosso
Sick episode
man that Philly scene with all the kooks and non-skaters filming adverts and music videos in the middle of the park!! That happened at my local park once and we skated through their shot 'till they got pissed off, then we kicked 'em out hahaha. They could have asked us first at least rather than trying to close off a main section in the middle of the bowl. No way! They can go film their clothing brand in the parking lot
This is a great spirit
GROSSO FOREVER ❤️🙏🏼
I'm going right after work! To the very ramp away!!!
so sick
I'm so excited for the rip rally Indy comp I'm a beginner but I'm actually moving up there soon and I wanna celebrate the phelper for sure
Check out Teddy Cruz' (architect) TED Talk. He praises Washington St park
This is a fantastic film guys, so freaking good. PS you used my clips of Southsea a while back but fuck it you're welcome. Keep up the good work.
What a beautiful alien artifact!
amazing

Damn it should have built my own park. Do a love letter on backyard mini ramps. Seen some crazy ramps throughout the years.
Grosso's best clip other than a sad plant is him laughing
Fuckin’-A! What an ethos! The world would be a better place if people treated where they live and their communities like many of these dudes do their skate parks!
Going to LEESIDE right now!!
skate everything!
My mom's worked right by there when I was younger. She was the manger of a graphics company and made signs for them when the city was trying to tear it down..she even brought me to protest against the tear down.

That theme song kinda grows on ya.
Wanna give a shout out to the Newport, Ky diy. I knew it wouldn't make the list and that's all good, cause it hasn't been around as long as the ones on here & they're legendary diy's of course. Just wanted to shout it out, since its a pretty sick park.
WE HAIL THE LETTERS!
Choppy omega!
No mention of pig pen at burnside ?!?! Woulda loved to hear stories about that guy
I’ll turn it off and go skate Jeff right after I watch 20-30 more KZread videos!🤙🛹
Asheville and wallows in Knoxville Tennessee
That's the mainstream story, Pete. You should know this.
🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shoulda mentioned some of the DIYs with street shit as well. Too bad the coop in Atlanta got fucked up. Good one in cinci as well
