Jeremy Jones “Boots are Made for Walking”

Seriously, how can you not like this guy?  Besides the fact that he drives his poor man’s Prius up to use his poor man’s heli (splitboard) and slays the bejeezus out of any line, he’s down to earth and trying to bring snowboarding back to it’s roots.  Love it. Sadly ESPN won’t let you embed in HD/widescreen, so the 4:3 version is below.

It just seems like things have gotten too soft and fluffy and perfect.  The last trip that really killed me, I did this heli trip and like we’d get off the heli and there’d be like a lady there serving us sushi in the boot room with like cocktails mixed up

Jeremy Jones hits a bony couloir in the Sierras

Yeah, this video is from early season, but I was just re-watching it and figured it was post worthy (and then some…). Love the sideslip at about 2:49, gives you a feel for the snow quality. Yikes.

Jeremy Jones at Squaw – World Freeride Tour Vid

Jeremy Jones – Rossi sponsored freeride uber-stud (not sure how to put an umlaut on the ‘u’ over there), champion of splitboarding AND most importantly founder of Protect Our Winters recently competed at, and won, the World Freeride Tour at Squaw.  Vid of his winning run below.  Note he’s going mach eleventy million in the vid and never stops/slows down to setup any hits, no side slipping, just up and goes.  While my internal dialog would be screaming “OHMYGODSLOWDOOOOOWWN” I think his is just humming reggae like he’s on the beach sipping a beer.
