Jed Anderson is something of a snowboarding prodigy. Starting his career on the Forum Youngblood team, contests and travel were a part of Jed’s life as a teenager. That is until he did something surprising and took a step back from professional snowboarding. A few years riding outside of the industry spotlight helped Jed fall back in love with the sport, and he returned albeit with a changed focus, spending most of his time riding the streets of his hometown Calgary.

Soon enough his skinny pants style and his big bag of ridculo-tech rail tricks began to attract attention and sponsors, including Nike. This season he’ll be playing a starring role in their movie Never Not, as well as releasing a full part online before Christmas. If it’s anything like as good as this one from last season, it’ll more than merit his ranking at number 13.
