Some heavy content to be found on both of the Jeremy Jones blogs right now.
One is reporting from a little cabin perched atop the Alps.
“Standing at the bottom of the line a was feeling sick. No amount of water could wet my pallet and I started to wonder if I might throw up or crap my pants. Xavier was pointing up to a line that he wanted us to hike and climb and I was not feeling it. It required a 200 foot ice climb up to a hanging, very exposed, snow field. To ride it safely would require a rappel in the middle of the line.” —Jeremy Jones

And the other just dropped an alternate edit of his Double Decade part.
“This was the edit I was hoping for in DD, but the powers that be I guess, Clippy clippy!” —Jeremy Jones

personally i don’t think you can say one is gnarlier than the other
apples & oranges baby.
two different worlds.
it’s disrespect to all snowboarding to pretend that you could even compare the two

100% agreed
i voted for jeremy jones

haha nice response, i think it comes down to which style of riding you prefer, not who is actually gnarlier.

Jeremy Jones is the gnarliest for sure.
July 16th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
well, lets put it this way. the only person making a professional career off of 50-50’s vs. someone who takes gnarlier lines than a corporate executive surrounded by hookers.

i think they are both insane due to the fact that if either one screws up whether on metal or on mega doom cliffs, they would both be fucked and both would probably penguin walk off like a man.

i replied to my own comment

Give me a break. Rails don’t compare to real lines. Anybody that says they do has never stood at the top of a gnarly line.
No Contest!!

Actually kind of glad the Police didn’t give him the rights to that song. I think the Doobie Brother’s song they went with was a much better fit.

one line has the chance of dying every time and the other has the chance of breaking something or becoming a paraplegic. both are scary, but dying sucks. I would rather watch (street) jones on video because he is creative and original, but (perched on top of the alps) jones is just nuts. i would rather huck myself off a roof to a rail than get sucked into a crevasse by an avalanche. both are on top of their game.

rail Jeremy is great at what he does but get a skate board for that shit bro. i’ve seen video parts of him ripping lines on the hill and he is dam good but he seems to be taking the easy way out cause jibbing takes no planning and you get a 2nd, 3rd and 4th chance at pulling it off for the shot. Big mountain jeremy chases, scopes and plans every line, gets 1 chance at it and the risk of death is huge, read his website and you’ll agree he is by far gnarlier.
conclusion. rail Jeremy- GAY. big mountain Jeremy- LEGEND

big mtn riding is way gnarlier than freestyle. Both jones are equelly gnarly in their own way. Freestyle takes lots of skill and practice to get good style.
July 17th, 2009 at 8:14 am
i agree that both are fucking sick, but i grew up watching jeremy jones on rails and shit in all the mack dawg movies and there’s no way i could say he isn’t a huge influence on my riding style. i’d rather do heli runs than jib trips any day, but the “rail ripper” has my vote… a true godfather of freestyle snowboarding

This question shouldn’t even be addressed. We both know these guy’s are balls deep fuckin sick. This question is like asking a parent who’s is favorite child. It’s just plain wrong to answer.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
they do completely different types of riding.
how is this even relevant?…. oh because they have the same name.. dumb.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
You’re right about one thing…this is apples compared to oranges.
Big mountain Jeremy Jones is way, way fucking gnarlier. No disrespect to the other guy but he doesn’t spend any where near as much time in “one wrong move and you’re dead” situations.
July 17th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Also consider that if you do actually get injured while in the mountains rescue and assistance is not nearly as easy or quickly available as in the park or urban setting.
I agree with everyone, it’s an apples to oranges comparison and a bit ridiculous but it got me to visit the TransWorld website and vote so… yeah.

jibber jeremy is washed, amazing snowboarder who pushed the progression of the sport for a long time, hes pretty much running wall rides into the ground. he needs a wake up call like JP to get back on his a game.

check out rail-Jer’s blog, he’s got one of the teasers to burton’s new movie one there. He gives everyone a “wake-up call”

Jeremy Jones (big mountain).
He is the gnarliest snowboarder in the history of the sport!
The other is good but come on! Year after year on those lines, makes my stomach turn to think about it.
July 27th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
They both come through every year though huh.

Hey very nice blog!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your blog and take the feeds also…

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place

Thank you for your help!
September 24th, 2009 at 9:42 am
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.
September 26th, 2009 at 11:57 am
You are a very smart person!
