Dear Rider (2021)
40+ Years of Shred
Very cool doc on Jake. What a well rounded, goal oriented man. 2 of my high school friends from Michigan drove to Vermont back in 84 and knocked on Jakes door and asked him to sponsor them. He didn't do it on the spot, but asked them to meet him at Stowe the next day to see how they road. Well enough, as he sponsored them that day. One of them was featured in the doc getting a award at the end of the US Open. That just goes to show you what a cool, easy going guy he was.
I used to buy boards and Burton clothing samples from the grey long haired bearded dude (world ambassador) interviewed in the doc as well. He was the rep for the midwest in the 80's/90's.
I wish I had the opportunity to meet Jake, but never had a chance. RIP and thanks for opening the world to the coolest snow sport on the planet.
