From my boys at MODA3. I remember the day I heard Jeff Anderson died. Mixture of anger, sadness, and disbelief. Can’t believe that was in ’03. The 2003 Nixon Jibfest video is STILL my favorite because of Jeff’s trick vocab in his sections. Unbelievable progression for 2003.
February 23, 2003 the snowboard world lost one of its greats. In fact, if he was still around today its pretty safe to say he would be the biggest name in snowboarding. Unfortunately for us Jeff Anderson died before that could happen. He did however influence thousands of riders and pushed the progression of snowboarding to help shape what it has become today.
Today would be Jeff’s 30th birthday and to commemorate him over 30 of the industry’s biggest artists and photographers have come together to create one of a kind pieces that will be sold November 12th, 13th, and 14th. These three days will be filled with events celebrating the life and times of Jeff Anderson. All proceeds from the events will go towards the JLA Memorial Fund. You can find a schedule of events and how to purchase prints here.
My dude Ben Cohen (and a craaazy crew) spent the duration of May 24, 2009 working on getting this amazing footage and sound at Soundset. Check out that crowd.
I’m sick and listening to lots of downtempo and Broken Social Scene. Deal with it. Thank you, Toronto, for producing such talented artists. And awesome beards.
