Grosso Forever: Japan Love Note: Street Skating | Skate | VANS
The crazy thing about street skating in Japan is that in most cities it is not legal. Despite that jam up Tokyo, Osaka, etc have produced some of the best street skaters on the planet. This Love Note is an expanded version of the interview Jeff Grosso did with Tokyo legend Shin Okada and the T19 crew.
Japan has a long and radical skate history. With so many eyes focused on Tokyo in 2021 Vans wanted to make sure that the rich skate culture and storied history didn’t get lost in the hype of The Games. Japan has a great skate scene that should championed and celebrated long after this moment in history.
This is the last trip the Loveletters crew took with our beloved Jeff Grosso before his passing. Jeff and the crew had a blast meeting the many Japanese skaters from every generation.

Tim Débauché in How to Skate Paris Suburbs | ‘Opus I’ Rough Cut – Red Bull
Tim Débauché is 100% skateboarder: he eats, sleeps and breathes skateboarding. As with every skateboarder, Tim has had his fair share of physical issues: growth spurts led to a year off through endless knee pain, graduating to the curse of the flip trick generation: ankle problems. Notwithstanding those costs of doing business, Tim has depth to his skating game and proved it with his recently-released ‘Opus 1’ part, from which you can enjoy the rough cuts in the player just above. This is Tim’s first full video part, no doubt foreshadowing many more to come. Steady video output from him would be a win all-round – you really don’t see his level of style and touch every day. Enjoy!
