In 1983, Jones formed a breakdancing group with fellow BMXers Mark Eaton, Mike Daily, Jamie McKulik, and Dale Mitzel, known as the Cardboard Lords.
[citation needed] In Austin, Texas, 1987, Jones entered his 3rd AFA Masters contest, debuting four of his own tricks: the Locomotive, the Trolley, the Standup Infinity Roll, and the Elephant Glide.
[citation needed] Around this time, fellow Plywood Hood member and filmmaker Mark Eaton released the first of a series of freestyle BMX videos titled Dorkin' In York.
The series continued over the years, showcasing tricks from Jones and the Plywood Hoods, as well as coverage from major contests, some more private jams, and practice sessions.
[citation needed] As of 2005[update], Jones continued to ride but did not re-enter the contest scene or tour for a major bike manufacturer.
[citation needed] In August 2006, it was announced that Jones would be creating a new version of the Big Daddy frame for Hoffman Bikes and rejoining the company's pro team.
