Find out more of what’s been going on with Priscilla below:
Yo Priscilla, what have you been up to?
I just moved to Utah for the winter and been snowboarding a bunch at Snow Basin, PC and the Mnt Lab. I also been filming a bit with Standard in Montreal and Whistler..
What do you think of all this global warming nonsense with these massive pow dumps we have seen here in Utah over the last few weeks? Is it legit or just another government hoax?
I do think that all the nonsense precipitations are related to global warming but i don’t think that it has anything to do with goverment hoax.
Who are your sponsors these days?
Ride, DC, Spy, Coal, Bakoda, Bern, Cilla, Fuse Snowskate, Monster energy drinks, Whistler/Blackcomb.
How supportive is a company like Ride and do you feel like the support they have for their riders has been a big part in their success as a snowboard company?
For sure! I think Ride is very supportive of all of us, they have been since the day i got on. I really feel like they got my back. They’re really good at promoting us and I like their ad campaigns a lot.
How is Ride keeping up on progression and the changes in design and technology?
They kill it! I was actually at our Ride sales meetings in Whistler a few weeks ago and i was blown away with the next year’s products. Their stuff is gettin so good, everything is getting lighter and more comfortable, it really feels like quality product, and that’s so important to me, it makes me feel like i can ride better. And their outerwear, it’s been amazing ever since i started riding for them, no complaints at all!!
Who are your favorite homeys to ride with and why?
Natasza Zureck and my lil homies Stevie, Andrew, Jon etc..
Where are calling home right now and what’s the scene like?
Whistler. And it’s dumping everyday. But good luck to find the sun.
If you could pick one favorite photog who would it be and why?
Crispin Cannon. Cause he’s super good, and good at shooting all kinds of stuff like jibs, backcountry, portraits, studio stuff, naked stuff…(just kiddin’!)
What was your best memory of 2007 and why does it stand out above the rest?
2007 is the year that i started my own first layer company called “Cilla” layers. And it’s doin’ awesome!!! Check it out at cilla.ca
What are your plans for 2008?
To film a good video part with Standard.
Would you rather have to always eat standing up - or - always enter your car from the passenger door?
I’d rather eat sitting on the passenger seat.
Who are you playing in your ipod these days?
Aesop Rock, Spoon, Camera Obscura, Lucero etc..
Who is your favorite midget?
Mikey Leblanc
There is alot of talk about the industry selling out to big box chains, is this good or bad for the industry? Does it matter?
I understand that companies wanna make more money and make their lives easier but i personnaly don’t like it. It’s like when you really like a song and all of a sudden it’s playin’ on every single radio stations, that’s when you don’t hear it the same way.. it doesn’t sound cool anymore.
Are you into art?
Yes i’ve been into oil and acrilyc painting since i was 17. But with my snowboarding carreer, i haven’t had time to touch that stuff for a few years.
What type of art do you like?
I like anything that gives me a feeling when i stare at it. But a good feeling, and good energy.
If you could create an hybrid crossbred animal, what two animals would you pick and why?
It would be a lion mixed with a panda. The panda for the sweet and compassionate side and the lion for the confidence and power. It would be called a “Pandion” but don’t mind the way it would look.
How big of an impact do you think the internet has on action sports and where do you see it all headed?
I think it’s a great way for kids to find out what’s goin’ and watch some of the events that TV doesn’t cover. It probably has a big impact on sales and allows our industry to grow bigger.
What do you think of Seshn, before we let you go?
I just checked out the site and it looks dope! I am stoked!!!
Rad, we are stoked even more having you on as one of our first interviewees behind Eddie Wall. Thanks so much for your time Priscilla and have a great rest of the season and we’ll talk more about Cilla next time around, very soon!
Awesome, sounds good, thanks Seshn!
