Depends on the bevel. Hard to tell from the photos. Grosso had his decks beveled in a way similar to Heroine’s “razor top construction “.

Grosso's board or not those prices are ridiculously cheap.
$35 for a gently ridden board!

Could be a thing where the seller didn't know what he had? Who else would randomly put S-One stickers on their boards with all of Grosso's exact sponsors. Pretty sure not many skaters would go out of their way for some S One stickers....

Agree the rails looked sus. I watched a vid of his set up from 12 years ago and he mentioned Pig rails but i only see one set of enjoi rails on these boards and maybe he switched it up from time to time

Grosso was not on S One. He used Bern helmets.

I stand corrected. Good for him. Those Bern lids looked pretty bad.

He confirmed in the comments of this post that Anti Hero stopped producing boards with the square side rail

Wasn’t Bern the name of a guy that killed during a set of very weird events a while back?

Not Grosso’s, he always did his grip job the same way, like leaving inch or two off the nose in example.

Board wear presents a mystery. Definitely not Grosso's old riders, but owner being old and heavy is practically a given. Went through the trouble of mounting slide rails but didn't seem to use them. Rail placement also suggests not a curb setup. Probably skatepark only but no drop-in marks. 3rd deck worn at the nose, but hardly anywhere else.

Get real - No one is selling Grosso’s old decks for $40 on eBay.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

right, but it's a great way to get eyeballs on your auctions.

I remember seeing an interview about Grosso’s board setup, and he said he always writes the same word on the board (i forget the word, and he never gave a reason), but i think it was always on the rail.
An authentic Grosso would have that

This makes sense. Rails are pristine and obviously installed afterwards, and poorly positioned at that (3rd board shows scratches all the way through). Some stickers also look like they were placed after riding. OP/ebay seller hitting a new low for trying to cash in on the deceased.

The one you're thinking of was "why..." which was an inside joke with his ex-wife but he wrote other shit too.

Also whoever said they don't do sharp rails anymore, they're definitely still doing it for Heroin. I almost bought one last weekend. Considering the fact no one in the world moves as many boards as dlx and they're one of the only accounts that has their own molds (I've heard they have dedicated presses too but don't quote me on that) and a ridiculous amount of custom shapes, I'm pretty sure BBS would bend over backwards to make sure they got whatever they wanted. Also they were definitely 1000% making them at the time Grosso passed.

If you guys think think this is shameless just wait til Gonz goes. We're going to have every kook that's ever smelled one of his farts in NYC trying to cash in.

1000% not Grossos.

OP is a fuckin weirdo if that’s his eBay account. Pisspoor job at copying grossos “sticker style” down to the rails just to sell some decks for $35 is deep fried.
For better results don’t claim your gear belonged to a dead legend. Fuckin kook if tru.

Look at how far in the the rails are on Grosso’s actual ride. Someone like Grosso would do that on every single setup.

Wasn’t grosso on ace? Either way, not a bad deal for a board.
