Loveletters Season 10: France | Jeff Grosso’s Loveletters to Skateboarding | VANS

The Loveletters crew took a trip from Paris to Lyon to Marseille, meeting up with skaters from every generation of French skaters along the way. We interviewed as many as we could and made this episode from their stories. This episode is NOT a history of France’s skate scene! This is a Loveletter to some of the many great French skaters who have killed it over the years. Watch this and then put your phone down and book a flight to France immediately.

Romford (Rom) skate-park here in London since 1978,, so older than the Marselle. However, that place is a dinosaur in comparison.
