I had the fortune to meet Jeff at the burton factory sale about 2 years ago. Jim Rippey and Keir Dillon were also there but Jeff was easily the most approachable. He was one of the most chill, genuinly nice pros I have ever met. The oppisite of powers. we talked for like 2 hrs. about skating, music scenes and whatever else. He said that I was welcome to come stay with him at hood, an offer i had intended to take up, had I not lost his #. This should have been jeffs year. He was on the verge of blowing up, while keeping it real, and supporting the positive vibe of snowboarding. He had numerous insane vid parts and a recent interview in snowboarder in which he demonstrated just how dedicated to the sport he was. There are few riders with the drive and attitude that jeff had and he will be greatly missed. It is a huge loss to snowboarding but at least now Craig Kelly will have someone to ride with. Peace Jeff.
'dude, I'm wicked smart dude.'
