theBRIGADE: Jeremy Jones

Jul 3, 2012

Jeremy Jones

Jeremy Jones is a professional snowboarder who grew up here in Utah. Jeff and I have always looked up to him as a rider and followed his career pretty closely. He's older than most of the other pros out there and yet is still creating new tricks and new styles of riding which is just amazing. Jeremy is the one whose snowboard I ride, the Samuel the Lamanite board, with a picture of the prophet on the wall above people shooting arrows and slinging stones at him. Nobody could hit him because he was protected by the power of God.

Jeff sent me the following video on YouTube and my respect and admiration for Jeremy Jones grew even more. This video is so inspiring and steezy (see what I did there?) and it really touched me. Hopefully it will touch and inspire you too. Though he'll probably never read this, thanks, Jeremy.

Who Are We?

In 2002, theBRIGADE was founded on paper in a high school English class that officially gave a title to our group of three snowboarders, familiy, and friends. Over the years, we expanded our snowboarding team to other friends and fellow riders who shared our vision of not only snowboarding, but life in general. For us, it was all about pushing our personal limits, riding to live, living to ride, and shredding the gnar. Now that we're a little older, our focus has broadened from just snowboarding to hiking, backpacking, and exploring Nature's high places. We're still as tight as ever and the brotherhood we share continues to grow with each adventure. We don't claim to be anything more than we are, a group of adventurers taking the most out of life and giving back what we can. This is what theBRIGADE is all about. And where we come from, we ride!
