In Memoriam: J2 Forever

"My Love Isn't Going Anywhere"

It’s with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Jason “J2” Rasmus, a widely beloved snowboarder who passed away last weekend after a hard fought battle with cancer. He was 46-years-old. J2 has been and will continue to be a legend in his own right, forever appreciated as a pioneer in the street snowboarding scene and beyond. Without much effort he was able to embody the style, drive, and happiness we seek in snowboarding, and in turn life itself.

Riders, filmers and friends who have been lucky enough to know J2 over the years are taking to social media to pay tribute to the iconic shredder. “I was always happy around J2, it was impossible not to be,” Mark “Deadlung” Edlund wrote on Instagram. “When he was on his journey to the other side today, I said to him ‘Yo, Tooz. I love you G. I’ll see you again.” He opened his eyes, and his response was perfect. He said “Ah, my love isn’t going anywhere.” 

See what others had to say about J2, and see that his love certainly isn’t leaving us anytime soon.
