Bellmar's Bowl | Jeff Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding | VANS

more at offthewall.tv - Back in the early 90's when kids were riding 39mm wheels and wearing size 50 pants Kelly Bellmar was laying down one of the first ever built to skate backyard pools. In the season finale, Jeff is joined by Peter Hewitt, Sam Hitz and Darren Navarette (and of course Bellmar) to swap tales of the crete and mosh on the flat. We'll be back in a few months with a bunch of new Love Letters...stay tuned.

Nothing on KZbin tops the middle-aged circle pit, during the end credits.

[@davidjduerr]

The clip of Grosso ripping around that corner and dropping off into the roll in is gold

[@nitrojunkie9027]

RIP Grosso, one of my favorite letters. Had to revisit, Sad and irreplaceable loss to the skateboarding industry.

[@michaelamariani8814]

The very end of this video is why I've always loved skateboarding...We're just a bunch of weirdos y'all!!

[@Burger-urger]

Fuxkin a

[@SimplyMEHHH]

Big facts. Every time you go to the park you meet the kookiest of people

[@Twrecks92]

Hahaha that mosh at the end

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

Loved skating that pool... Rolling in thru the channel was pure stoke. Then hitting those corners...

[@cesarsalad01]

Beautiful ending. Rip Jeff. Grosso forever 💔🙏❤️

[@Cloudkusanagui]

dudes moshing inside the pool at the end straight up made me smile

[@gunhaver4]

This is my favorite love letter

[@MADROCKS221]

I’ll rewatch this every once in while for the crack at the end hilarious.

[@bigwavebill]

this bowl is gnarlier than it looks,, to do anything in this bowl is mental

[@mahoney1360]

It feels terrifying when you stand on the flat bottom and look up. I witnessed Brian Brannon frontside airing the channel the one time I made a pathetic attempt at skating it. Don't think I even scraped coping that day.

[@jimmytgoose476]

I dunno about that, it looks pretty gnarly from where I'm sitting !!😃

[@cr1138]

you know your high if your wearin airwalks!

[@jhagestad]

Peter Hewitt passing on his local knowledge of the kinked spots in the corners is so damn cool. You know more than a few guys have eaten shit because they missed the line. It looks so friggin’ tall and steep from the bottom. Two feet of vert, eight-foot transitions, legit pool coping. Good lord… RIP Belmar’s.

[@scubadawg1555]

we miss you grosso

[@obiwanjermobi]

someone should do a loveletters to grosso

[@TransferAir]

Thanks (again) for put'n a smile on my face!!!.

[@EZraw87]

Navs, Hitz, Hewitt and Grosso doin the HB strut hahaha

[@jarmyvicious]

I skated 2 Grosso boards but that Demon was my favorite big board of all

[@bondalero0074]

Mine too! I have 6 of his decks from old days still new on wall and 2 demons; one Santa Cruz the other Black Label!#RIPGrosso#🛹👑jarmyvicious

[@michaeljohn8905]

Ben S is the man ! Much love I always felt awkward being 6ft 4 and skating street. Not after watching him.

[@bradzillaking4722]

The raw footage is where it's at!

[@skatewhyoming]

i love this so much

[@berniee]

Thats some rad ass bowl man! Wish to skate that one :)

[@RodneyNicotine]

Grosso is my spirit animal

[@HosannaSkurfin]

SICK VIDEOS!

[@benskatesforgirl101]

Who was that kid in there moshing? I know know it was neither probably but it looked like either raven tershey or raney beres.....

[@scubadawg1555]

ben syrjala well i see darren navarette in there

[@michaeljohn8905]

Steve’s was and is one of my IDOLS . Seems like all the crazy dudes that I idolized as a kid seem like goons and the guys like Cab n Tony Hawk who took shit for being responsible and good dudes where shunned a bit. I find myself attracted to these guys more now than the (no disrespect) Alvas Grossos gators and the like. Btw all those dudes are still good guys they were just train wrecks till we all grew up lol. Respect to all these guys. Thanks for the retrospect. I miss skatin ,Wish my knees did.

[@dillhole626]

the end is fucking hilarious

[@braziliandave52]

i personally love the credits

[@skateboarder-yr9qg]

One of my favorite episodes

[@rasquatch]

[@Atrainswrld]

[@Joelontugs]

You know your high when your wearing airwalks lmao

[@paartde2de]

what's that insane song?

[@kirfnuffle]

Dumb question, but what's a "copper" (or however it's spelled)?

[@jimmytgoose476]

Coper . Plastic device that fits between your wheels so you aren't grinding metal .

[@luis12w]

[@Lengsel7]

0:36 Isn't great when you have a 'little extra money', and you can buy a house and build a bowl?

[@quentinpaulson7626]

89 it probably cost 40k at most for both

[@Lengsel7]

@@quentinpaulson7626 Lol, you're probably right. [edit] plus, it's just a bowl with a drain at most, no pumps/filters, etc.

[@quentinpaulson7626]
