Salomon Snowboards is proud to announce the addition of 17 year old Jed Anderson to the 2009 Am Team. Coming off of a head-turning 4 days of shooting half part in TWS film “These Days”, Jed has already begun shooting for his first full video part in this season’s coming release from Transworld Snowboarding.
TWS film director Joe Carlino says, “Seriously, Jed is one of the top 3 best snowboarders I’ve ever shot. We just got back from our first trip filming for the new video. It’s November 28th and Jed walked away with about 15 shots.” Not bad for a 17 yr old kid that’s never shot a major video part. Evan Lefebvre of Snowboarder Magazine says, “Jed’s that lucky little kid that you knew growing up who could do everything better than you all the time—but not in an asshole ‘O’doyle rules’ sort of way.” (more…)
