Bristol snowboarder wins gold at Aspen

25th January 2009

Jones was behind Spencer O'Brien going into the final run so Jones knew that she had to doing something HUGE, and she did, she pulled a  front-side 720 to grab a deserved win from O'Brien - 90.00 to 87.66.

"On my last run I knew what I had wasn't enough, so I had to lay down the 720," Jones said.
