fuuuuck major bummer. I was just watching him on Black Jesus and was planning on seeing him at the Improv in December. Wonder if "Last Friday" will ever happen now.

damn. I had seen posts from other snowboarders wishing him well these last few days, wasn’t sure what was up. he’s been dealing with a lot of health issues that last decade or so and always came out smiling and optimistic for his future. sad day in the snowboard world. rest in peace, Jake.
Found out in the coverage of his death that he coined the title "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" to Jim Capaldi. That's pretty cool.
We’ve lost so many amazing internet famous animals in the last few years that I don’t think I even realized we still had Bub with us.
