Series 8 of Jeff Grosso’s Loveletters continues with an ode to old skate mags, starting with the 1970s long before the internet encroached on skateboard media. There are also apparently added plans to upload the entire ‘Skateboarder Magazine’ archives to the internet, which we’re definitely stoked for.

With  added history courtesy of Steve Olson, Chris Strople, Bill Sharp, John Lucero and Lee Ralph, this is an insight into the roots of skateboarding that we’d go as far as to call a must watch – press play, then keep an eye out for part 2!
