Lucas Debari chats Alaska and stuff...Lucas Debari is the latest edition to the Rome Team. This season he spent some quality time filming in Alaska with Absinthe and Jeremy Jones’s project, Deeper.
Ron Faverty called up the pow slayer to find out how the season had gone down...
"I’m really stoked to see what he put down this season, and stoked he took my phone call for this interview, even though he probably felt obligated to do so."
RF: Did you come in with any expectations having watched all the other Absinthe movies?
LD: Yeah a little, I didn’t really know what to expect. I was really excited and the season started off great filming in Nelson, BC, with DCP, Romain, and Blauvelt. I think stuff went really well, I worked as hard as I could at it, and I think the end result will be good. It was awesome working with those guys.
RF: It seems like people are looking to you to be the next “big mountain rider”, any pressure when you hear things like that?
LD: No real pressure. I just legitimately do what I want to do on my snowboard. If that’s the next big mountain stuff, or pushing freestyle in the mountains on natural terrain, so be it. I pretty much just love to snowboard, and love pushing myself. This season was a great opportunity to see what I could do out there filming with Absinthe. I’m just happy to be able to do what I’m doing, the effect that that has on other people, is really out of my hands.
RF: Any mountaineering goals, I read somewhere you were stoked on that stuff?
LD: A year ago I started rock climbing, and now I’m into climbing peaks. I’d love to snowboard down Denali in AK, and Mt. Everest is definitely there. In the spring there are some really good alpine descents here in Washington too. I rode Baker a couple months ago, and there’re a couple other peaks on the hit list, I’m really just starting to get into that realm though.
RF: Are you heading to the southern hemisphere at all this summer?
LD: I’ll be spending my fourth summer in Chili. Bjorn and I will be heading down there and kicking off The Shred Remains project. I have some friends there, and Bjorn knows some people, so it should be really good, and grabbing some shots in August would be great.
RF: Any other summer plans or hobbies?
LD: Nothing huge, climbing takes up a lot of my time, maybe some skate park tours though.
