Jed Anderson nonchalantly won the inaugural Burton Canadian open halfpipe event early 2009 in Calgary. From a humble beginning shredding at his local ‘mountain’ COP (Canada Olympic Park) This young super talent is growing from strength to strength as a solid all round snowboarder. As well as slaying the pipe in organized competition formats Jed is also a rail destroyer.
Our UK Media associates BSA Snow caught up with Jed for a quick facebook chat to see what he’s been up to…
