Jeff Hedges (aka. ffej) was a 1989 Vert Champion at the Münster Monster Mastership, in pro skating.
He was filmed skating in a skater movie called Streets of Fire.
The sequel to Wheels Of Fire, Streets Of Fire was produced by Scott Dittrich in 1989 for Santa Cruz skateboards and features a plot in which Jason Jessee stars as a skateboarder being arrested for the crime of skateboarding on a public street. As he sits in jail he ponders all the skating he did the past year with friends Steve Alba, Natas Kaupas, Jeff Kendall, Claus Grabke, Jeff Hedges, Jeff Grosso and Corey Obrien. The prison guard that watches Jason Jessee is played by Skip Engblom of Santa Monica Airlines. Jessee is later convicted for his skateboarding and sent to the electric chair for the death penalty. The highlights of this film are once again, Natas Kaupas and his awesome style, huge ollies and mind blowing tricks.
