Chris Dufficy Interview

















(Jake OE) Chris, how did this past season go?

(Chris) Well it was going awesome until my first day in the backcountry. Decided to elbow a rock off a 30 foot cliff.















(Jake OE) What do you think is the best part about snowboarding?

(Chris) The best part of snowboarding is being able to travel and meet some of the coolest people ever.

(Jake OE) Did you ever hook up with an older chick back when Truelife just came out? (you told me a story about that forum chick, it was pretty funnny so if you want to put it in here feel free. :) if not no biggy.

(Chris) Once upon a time Raul Riese had an assistant and she made for the most memorable summer ever ! hahahahahaha

(Jake OE) You pretty much exploded after your part in TrueLife. Was it hard to film it and was life on a snowboard different after that?

(Chris) It was my first part after taking a break from a head injury so I put a lot of pressure on myself. I just felt like I was back where I should be; on a board.

(Jake OE) Do the Ladies play a big role in your life?

(Chris) Totally. My mom is my number one girl !


















(Jake OE) Have you ever been to Amsterdam? if so do you have any crazy stories?

(Chris) I've actually been in Amsterdam on my birthday ! But then I flew out that day back to Canada and I got to celebrate twice because of the time change !

(Jake OE) I saw that Signal is making outerwear now and you have your pro-model kit. I thought Signal was just snowboards? whats going on there?

(Chris) Basically everyone who was working on outerwear at Planet Earth came over and started Signal clothing. I'm just stoked to work with people who do amazing things and I also get to talk to Chris Miller !

(Jake OE) Your latest Celsius ad was pretty funny? is there a story behind it?

(Chris) Ummmmmmm pretty much everyone thinks it's funny to call me Bufficy so I thought I would play it up a bit.

(Jake OE) How do you determine what's good music?

(Chris) It's depends on my mood, but anything that puts a smile on my face. Also lyrics play a big part, it's like a forgotten art.

(Jake OE) What do you think of snowboarding these days?

(Chris) I love it but some of the kids styles these days want to make me puke. Snowboarding is about having fun with your friends and not a fashion show on the hill.

Incase you little shredders don't know him. Dufficy blew away the industry back in 2001 with his part from True Life. An amazing rider, always ahead of the game, and will go down in the records forever.

Now go buy a Signal and support the REAL snowboarders.
