Jeremy Jones (freestyler)

Jeremy Jones is an American professional snowboarder. He is known for freestyle snowboarding and jibbing.

Snowboarding career

Jeremy began snowboarding when he was 13 years old. Jeremy is unique because he sets a standard for snowboarding but he does not compete. He was sponsored by, Burton, Anon, Milosport, and Nixon. Jeremy was selected by Peter Line to join Forum Snowboarding, where he became part of the original eight snowboarders of the Forum team. While at Forum he continued to revolutionize freestyle snowboarding. At Northstar resort in California, a fellow freestyle snowboarder conquered a large "down-flat-down" rail that eluded Jeremy Jones throughout his entire career. In 2015, Jones earned the bronze medal in the Real Snow competition, an all-urban, all-video snowboard contest presented by the World of X Games.
Jones is sometimes confused with Jeremy Jones, a fellow professional snowboarder born just over a year earlier in January 1975. While both share the same name and prominence in snowboarding, the freestyler Jeremy Jones is recognized for his urban and rail-focused riding and grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, whereas the freerider Jeremy Jones is known for big mountain exploration and hails from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
