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.

Late Night Shred Sesh

So last Monday, we got DUMPED on! There was snow everywhere when days before and in days after it was in the 60's. But for that night it was a winter wonderland. Tim came over after FHE with the Single's Ward and we were watching the NCAA National Championship game when we decided we were way overdue for a good old fashioned tB shred sesh! So we suited up and as we pulled out around 10:00 p.m., it was still coming down. We started along Main Street heading south to see if we could find any good places to sesh and were able to help a lady get her car unstuck. So with our good deed out of the way, we proceeded down the freeway (which was closed down to one lane) and headed up to Bountiful. We were rewarded with North Canyon and Rocket Parks all to own with no one to answer to so we helped ourselves to a delicious jib sesh of tables, jumps, pow pow, cement ledges, and more. The steez was flowing freely and it was a night to remember for a long time. We finally pulled into the driveway at home around 2:00 a.m. Just one of those good times sliding sideways on the snow!
