We've seen your comments and heard your cries, so get ready for a brand new season of Jeff Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding. What better way to start out the season with Cardiel? ALL HAIL CARDIEL! What interview or part are you looking out for in Part 2?
more outtakes and interviews with John, and the photographers and filmers, and other skaters like Julien and Peter "fucking" Hewitt. (soundcloud.com/jenkemmag/jenkem-mix-04-john-cardiel)
Cardiel is a living example of what "Live Free or Die" actually means. I'm 90% sure that 540 was done at The Playground in Wallingford CT and I was one of those little kids at the bottom right.
I slowly fill with grief as I ride home from school in the car as I look at the rain outside. All I wanted to do was skate, The weather did NOt COMPLY. As I slump down on my bed I look at my phone. Another long day of no skateboarding. I load up youtube to watch some skate videos and out of the corner of my eye I see this. Finally it had come. To only make it better Cardiel. Loveletters has saved my day again.
I love Cardiel for that raw 'Get Some' energy and always hard charging sessions. The newer guys like the slow tech stuff but there's so much passion and love for the sport that John gives back. That is all just his skating and then you add his recovery from paralysis and his story just becomes the stuff of legends... I wish more people today knew about John and his life it's so inspirational across the board.
Gratz on Season 8!!# All hail Grosso & Cardiel! I was lucky enough to be skating when people started taking about Cardiel. After all he's gone through. Gives me inspiration to this day. And you say it like it is. We (skaters) were the nerdy outcasts. Hearing you talk about It helped me accept just bring myself. So what if I'm almost 50 and still love the same shit I got into at 13. I was kind of embarrassed about that. It looked like a mid life crisis to most. I'm the old computer geek, what am I doing on a skateboard. Or playing TSOL in my van. It's just always been in my blood. Been about 10 years now since I got back into it. And it feels great just pushing around. No flips and not much pop anymore. Why I REALLY respect the ones who still do. Keep on rollin' and here's to another 8👍👑
Phelps describes Cardiel to perfection . After meeting him a long time ago on an Australian trip way before his accident he is Skateboarding. All Hail Cardiel.
I was completely blown away by his Sight Unseen part but soon after, stopped keeping up with skating. After about a 5+ year hiatus, I went in to skate shop to pick up a new deck and Sight Unseen was playing on a TV in the shop. I was chatting with the employees, and I was telling them how I loved the Cardiel part. One of them than said something eluding to how it was unfortunate what happened to John. I asked him, "What happened?"...I'll never forget the look on that guys face...like when an adult messes up and accidentally lets a kid know Santa isn't real. His exact words were, "Fuck, I'm sorry man" like as if someone i knew had died. I went home and watched the Epicly Latr'd parts and learned the details. Heavy. Dudes a complete anomaly in the Matrix
Fuck ya! Cardiel! Dude is the def of "Loose", and committed, pelvis is a tough shot, snapped mine in half too and still skated and snowboarded my ass off once I learned to walk again. Shit still aches if I sit on my ass too long. So stoked for Cardiel 2! Thanks Vans & Grosso made my night.

I know most of the idea behind the show is to dig into the history of skating but I’d love an episode covering grosso’s feelings in modern skating and up and comers. Maybe an Eric winkowski episode. Or an episode about king of the road even.
4:30 in...Hewitt...I've seen this footage forever and I can't figure out whut the f he does to come back at the angle he does... maybe someone can enlighten my unseeing, dark mind.☺😚
Thanks for watching nicholasclave! Cardiel was changing the game with is moves. Check out our latest on Cardiel from Jeff Grosso's Loveletters here: bit.ly/2qoTjJX
All I can remember is john cardial smashing carve lines down the Belconnen snake run smash bang john had flown on a back side Mellon grab a lovely line even a young family in the back ground check it out love people love the national Park
my generation was slightly older but Cardiel...Trujillo...and Hewitt ARE THE VERY HEART AND SOUL OF SKATWBOARDING. Bottom line end of story. Ive said it many times. I will say it many more.
It's Sunday years later right now for me. RIP Jeff. Grosso forever 💔❤️🙏

What’s the name of the song in the beginning?

Hell fucking yeah. Is Cardiel ever not gnarly? #nevernotkillingit
Cardiel is addicted to wheels rolling that he moved himself and god damn i can relate to that
@5:45 He looks like a fucking cat the way he got the board back under him... I've never seen someone pull some shit like that!
this is fucking gold,can't wait for more!
