Peter Line Interviews Peter Line
Peter Line Interviews Peter Line
Peter Line is me. He and I have been snowboarding since 1988. Snowboarding has been the biggest influence in our lives and we want to give back to the sport as much as it has given to us. Collectively, as one, we’ve been snowboarding professionally since the early 90’s and have seen the sport grow from its first 540’s to its double-cork 1260‘s. Lately, Peter and myself have not been on good terms; due to a recent photoshoot we had together. But, we agreed to put aside our differences and interview each other to help better the sport and to hopefully not help worsen it.
Gray Beanie Peter- hey peter
Black Beanie Peter- oh, hey... what do you want?
g- well, I’m supposed to interview you. remember?
b- of course I remember, but I also told you that I’m done with this interview
g- I thought you were joking
b- joking? You fucking kissed me during the photo shoot.
g- yeahhh.....sorry about that, you just looked so much like me.. I was curios what it would be like to kiss myself.
b- well, I now know and it sucks. how does my boob feel by the way? any different than your own?
g- look.. I’m sorry about that.. it was just.. I don’t know, I had an impulse and I took it. that’s what I do, follow my impulses.
b-really? you follow your impulses do ya? are you trying to act cool in this interview to look good for chicks?
g- nnnnooooo...
b- nananan noooo? you’re such a liar, I know you better than you know yourself. You do everything to impress chicks, thats why you started snowboarding in the first place.
g- oh great, bring that into the conversation.
b- I thought it was an interview
g- arrgghhh, interview/ conversation whatever. ok, first question: who’s your best friend?
b- Parnell, duhhh... our dog
g- yeah, I know this, but maybe the readers don’t. what kind of dog is Parnell
b- he’s a French Bulldog and he sleeps all day and his farts smell as if there is something rotting in his intensities. but I love him.. he’s my best friend. we drink scotch together.
g- you also bring him to the bar with you to try and meet ladies.
b- whatever, he’s my drinking mate, I can’t help it if the ladies want to come up and pet him.
g- has it ever worked?
b- not straight up from the bar, but I’m sure chicks dig us more because of him.
g- yeah, I have to agree on you with that. ok, second question: what’s your thoughts on the state of snowboarding in 2012?
b- geez, getting heavy. honestly, I’m really stoked on it in the most part. Its a bit heavy contest and energy drink influenced, but interviewing Jamie last month, his perception on the big money coming in helps when done used in a good way. an example, the super natural contest that Travis Rice just put on in canada last week. Red Bull sponsored it and it is one of the coolest contests I have ever seen in snowboarding. It was a steep run with pre made, perfect jumps and cliffs in a natural run and powder. That is where freeride snowboarding and slopestyle riding come together at their best. They even invited the a couple of the best park riders to compete and saw them being humbled by powder riding and not perfect jumps and landings. I love to see kids feel this way, that’s what will keep them true snowboarders loving every part of the sport and not just the medals.
g- I totally agree, high fives
b- no
g- ok, third question: what’s youre plans now that you are old
b- now that we are old you mean?
g- yeah
b- well, I’m getting back more into the business side of snowboarding again, working with Foursquare more on their 2014 direction, creative director roll which is fun. I know you've been taking a lot of photos lately... dudes making out.
g- yeah, not all my photos are of us making out, I’ve taken photos of pretty girls too. self promotion; peterlinedesign.com

g- still snowshredding and doing some interview column for a German mag.
b- hows that going for you?
g- this is probably the worst interview yet.
