Fuck cancer. Why can't we find cure when so much money spent each year in the entire world to find a cure. Seems like it will get all of us. :(

RIP in Jake. You give so much to the world from snowboarding and charity.

Oh man that sucks. All my jokes about Burton being the evil empire aside, Jake Burton was a true pioneer of snowboarding. Huge loss. RIP.

True pioneer. Lot's of people used to hate on Burton over the years for being too big and not "core" enough. But the reality is that Jake never sold his company out and he never stopped riding.

He posted this pic from an indoor hill in October...
