Teddy passed away dooing what he loved today. He was the main filmer for Theory-3 media, and was the guy responcible for capturing some of the best most progressive new school skiing.

Teddy, was the nicest guy I have ever met and was the more stoked about skiing than anyone I have ever met. For the last three years, Teddy has been at my side shooting video everyday I have been shooting stills. I had justgotten back from shootingan entirely new area today, and was trying to call him about it when Jeffy called telling me that Teddy passed away while filming the K2 Back 9 in Whistler. Teddy was a mid-west kid that moves out west to full fille his life dream of filming skiing, and studying plastics engineering. He died doing what he had always wanted to do, and had an amazing life the few short years he was around. Hde will be sorely missed and are entire sport will fill his abscence.

RIP Buddy, I hope that you are gettin endless blower powder runs and nailling all of that A stock foottage up there.

Have you ever met someone a few times and never really got to know them but they influenced you so much. That is what Teddy was to me. I only met him a few times but he is the most genuine soul I have and will probably ever meet. I'm going to miss your "TICKER" Teddy. Rip the shit out of the clouds and make sure you become tyte with "Ular" the snow good so its keeps dumpin that light fluffy stuff for years to come.

You will never hear anything bad about Teddy Knape because there is nothing bad to hear.

This comes as a shock. Skiing will miss Teddy Knape.

i miss ngel already, one of the most amazing people i've ever met. i can still hear his goofy accent in my head, talking about how sick the skiing was and how much fun he had.

keep making you're amazing burgers, shredding pow, and getting sick shots. we'll always remember you teddy, it won't be the same without you.

i wasn't gonna ski today but i don't think teddy would approve so i'm heading to the mountain right now, and all in the name of teddy nigel knape

rest in peace

i just remembered something that reminded me just why Teddy was teddy..

1) rolls up into a U of U dorm with a handle of gin and a sombrero

2) gets hornbeck to slay urban rails inside U of U with chanel ski blades

3) loves every minute of it

Teddy was just a fun loving guy with a huge love of skiing...pretty simple
