Next week sees Winter X Games, the legendary U.S. winter action sports event, come to Europe for the first time. Competing for Britain will be top snowboarder Jenny Jones, hoping to win another gold medal following her win at the recent U.S. event. Can she do it again? Find out by watching all the action LIVE online from 10th March, only at www.extreme.com powered by Freecaster.tv.

Following Amy Williams’ ground-breaking gold medal win in the skeleton at last month’s Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Britain’s winter sports competition hopes are once again pinned on a talented female athlete. 29-year-old Jenny Jones, from Bristol, is Britain’s only rider ever to win gold at the U.S. Winter X Games, which is held each year in Aspen, Colorado.

Jones has competed professionally since 1999 in slopestyle – a sport not yet recognised by the Winter Olympics - bagging gold at the 2009 Winter X Games and again at the 2010 event this January, in a closely fought battle against American favourite Jamie Anderson. Slopestyle is one of the most popular events at the Winter X Games.

On Wednesday 10th – 12th March, the first Winter X Games Europe will be held in the stunning French ski resort of Tignes. An exceptional cast of the world’s top athletes will be competing in eight challenging events, including men’s and women’s Ski and Snowboard Superpipe and Slopestyle.

The brand new online destination for action sports fans, formed by the recent partnership between Extreme Sports Channel and Freecaster.tv, will be there to catch all the thrills and spills with live streamed coverage of the event from Wednesday 10th March at 4:45pm, only at www.extreme.com.
