I called Jeff Grosso to give me some tips on what to say to a skate shop so I don't get taken advantage of like a young dancer at a Prince conert (pours champagne out for dead Prince). I show up at his house thinking he'll give me a few pointers and he's already got 6 or 7 decks lying there for me to try out. I stand on them, he asks me how they feel, I tell him I have no fucking clue because my skateboard NBA JAM number is 0 out of 100. He eventually decides that I should ride this purple boarding gifted to him by the original Pearl Jam bass player Jeff Ament. It's purple and shaped like a penis -- PERFECT. As if this wasn't enough, he then proceeds to pull out trucks, barrings, wheels, grip tap, and some tools; setting up the whole board for me. WOW. So now this feeling comes over me: Do I ride this thing or hang it up on my wall? Me being the guy that abuses everything he owns, I decide I'll ride it. We share an hour or so of horror stories about everything and anything.It was a great experience. Thanks Jeff. That was a rad introduction to the skating community.
