Hi am Jenny Jones and I'm snowboarder.
What advice would you give to girls to get into snowboarding?
I would tell them to head to their local dry slope or snowdomes anything like that really,
with a friend or two, if they can. If not then just rock up on their own and get themselves
a lesson and I guarantee they'll have a fun time.
I asked lots of people questions on what they wanted to know about you.
Oh ok! One was about your diet. Is there anything
specific that you would say is a food that you know you can't live without.
I absolutely love having a Sunday roast. It's like a treat. I don't generally eat a
lot of potato that is my mum makes a Sunday roast then I'll have roasties with that and
I have a Yorkshire pudding yeah absolutely love it.
In any resort in the world do you have a favourite restaurant?
Is this really nice cafe in Colorado Breckenridge and we always go there to get sweet potato
burritos, they are amazing they've got beans in and eggs and chilli and stuff like that.
Oh my god what's called? Cuppa Joes!
I knew what you were saying because Aimee (fuller) said exactly the same thing.
-oh my god.
Really? No seriously I interviewed her three months
ago and she said exactly the same thing!
Honestly when you're away as well, it's a little bit harder to get the type of thing
you really like, you know, and that is does the job. It's so big that you can have half
of it, we go there in the morning and would save half and have that like in the morning
and have the other half after riding or something that. Oh it's just, oh it's a killer.
That's so funny that fuller said that. The weird thing is she said the exact same food as well.
Sweet potato?
So you guys obviously hang out a lot and she told me about something called Jassee?!
Oh god that's what she names it! Jassee is our version of yoga. We are not
very good at being sort of calm and collected and quiet comes to yoga so we sort of just
do our version of it. And that's what she named it. So we're generally stretching in doing
yoga moves and things like that but.
She said that sometimes you put on hardcore tunes to yoga.
Just to see what will happen. As the first trick what would you is the first
thing that I could learn that sort of relatively easy?
On a jump the first thing I would learn would be a grab. So you can choose whichever of
grab you want. Indie, melon, nose, tail.
See I've got to learn all of these terms.
Yep.
And if you're going to go in a box it will definitely be a 50-50 which is just riding
on a box pretty much.
Everyone keeps saying you're like The Chalet Girl (movie) the original Chalet Girl
I guess, was it your dream to reach the success that you've reached when you first started out?
My aim was to snowboard as much as I could
because I loved it! I definitely didn't have any major goals beyond that, apart from learning tricks.
and the only way I could do that was if I spend as much time as possible on the snow.
That was working as a chalet maid.
What are your thoughts in any competition, not just the Olympics, X games,
what are your thoughts just before you go out?
I'm generally visualising what tricks I'm going to do, trying to stay calm, just all
the practical things really. Have I had enough fluid, have I eaten enough food, do I know
what time it starts. Yeah just doing the practicals.
What advice would you give to anyone following their dreams, it doesn't have to be in snowboarding.
I would say as long as you're enjoying whatever it is you're passionate about then you're
going to succeed because you're having a good time and that's the main thing so make sure
you enjoy it but you work hard.
Thank you so much.
Thank you
