Jeff Grosso (April 28, 1968 - March 31, 2020) was an American vert and pool skateboarder from Arcadia, California, who became one of the most recognizable skaters of the 1980s riding for Variflex and Santa Cruz, later joining Anti-Hero in 2011, with Vans backing him from 1982 until his death. After getting sober in 2005 he resumed skating professionally and became skateboarding's beloved historian as host of the YouTube series 'Loveletters to Skateboarding.' Thrasher's obituary remembered the 'beloved verticalist, commentator and friend of the mag' whose grinds were long and backside airs head-high; he placed fourth in Skateboard Park Legends at X Games 16 (2010) and was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame in 2023.
