Aight, time to put up some education cause Heffy was the truth, never knew him, but his edits of the bird are a major part of how I learned the place.

Massive RIP, and I'm very sorry for your loss personally. Matt was a very strong skier and certainly helped shape the (post) modern landscape of freestyle skiing. Perfect cork 7 blunts.

Lucky enough to rip a few laps with this guy at the bird in my years there. I still go to sleep planning my "endless" line down chips or mineral b spring laps. I'd imagine that is most of our version of heaven, and I'd bet he's there.

He was a fun time Mr. Heff! No one will forget him. Thanks for the throwback cliff jumping post!

Humble as you can be. Meet with him on two separate occasions way back when he was a kid in Ohio and I was a younger kid in Ohio.

His stoke and energy in the HC videos always left an impression on me. Never met him but from what everyone says, He's a real 1. SIP MATT and I'm sending love to everyone affected by this

RIP to your son. I remember his name and videos well, from when I was back skiing park. He was a big inspiration to many, you should be proud of the son you raised.

A shot of him hitting an urban rail at night was my iPod touch wallpaper for years.

RIP to a great one.

Alright, I steer well away from this site, but I think this is legit so I'll bite. A close friend of mine calls out Heff when he tries something big. I never met the guy because I didn't get into skiing till much later in life, but I figure if he meant that much to my friend, I'll call it for him too. Coincidentally, this is my favorite edit by far- it sums up the best parts of skiing perfectly and I'm pretty sure that's your boy at 1:05.
