Jeremy Jones documents the fight on Capitol Hill

By: Nate Hoppes


Tackling a hill and all its challenges is nothing new for 9-time Big Mountain Snowboarder Rider of the year Jeremy Jones but usually the type of hills Jeremy is accustomed to shredding have snow on them.

Back in September Jones turned his attention to a different type of hill...Capitol Hill that is. Jones sporting a fancy suit walked the halls of Capitol Hill advocating as a climate change witness. Jeremy's commitment to furthering the fight against climate change with his foundation, Protect Our Winters, could very well be his proudest legacy.

He dedicates his life to fighting on and off the mountain to protect the places he loves to play. What better advocate about climate change than Jeremy Jones who gets the opportunity to witness it's change first hand in some of the hardest to reach spots on earth as evidence in last year's film Deeper and his newest film Further.

With the help of Clif Bar Jeremy and crew documented the journey to Washington in which he raised awareness to help make a difference.

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
