PJ CLICHE Interview
Interviewed by Roy Vasmear for SBC SKIER magazine/Spring 2004.
He's been called the greatest skier of the week...and much, much worse. Nobody can ride, pose or interview quite like PJ Cliche. A highly visible(and audible) member of the new wave of new-school progressionists, in the 2 months since he emerged from his home resort of Station du Ski Rien near Mange-Le-Castor, Quebec, the 17 year old Cliche has consistently progressed his progression. Progressively, SKIER caught up to him on the plaza in Whistler, BC last August.
Sup PJ?
Whaaa'?(takes off headphones) I di'n do nutin' wrong.
No, no - you're cool. Whats going on?
Oh, uh...nutin' mush. I jus' finish wit da glacier scene an' lookin' forward to chillin' at 'ome. I buy dis 'ouse las' spring, bu I always on da road. Dat remin' me- shout out to my 'omies Pep, Tanner, CR and Candide.
So what happened last season?
It start out really well. I show up to da US Open wit' my mom. Cours', I wasn't register or nutin' like dat. We drive all da way from Quebec, so it would 'ave been bad to turn aroun' and go back. But my mom, she talk to the course official in 'is 'otel room and dey allow me in 'a qualifier. I am so happy, I gets drunk before da comp. Even doh I don't try dat 'ard. I get turd.
Yeah, drinking can upset your stomach.
No, turd! Turd place.
Yeah, getting turd was sick. but you don' ave to be rocket surgeon to do good; i's all about progression and givin' back to da kid.
Speaking of progression, you're one of the most progressive progressionists progressing on the progression scene. Where is progression headed?
Dat a good question. I t'ink it head toward more progression. Progression is a work in progress - kind of a progression of sorts. Dare are big-mountain skier, and dare are jibber. They don' really crossover excep' Set' Morrison- 'e anudder of my 'omies. Hey, Set'! Anyway, da next step is a big secret I work on; take da trick into da big mountain. No one really use da natural terrain as park yet. After dat, I t'ink big progression is back to da street, where ski begin - leave da mountain forever. I work on a new street ski wit' my sponsor, Bling.
How come no one has thought of that yet?
No disrespec', but I t'ink skier get too specialize. Dare are da rail guy, da backcountry booter crew, da pipe rider, and da big mountain posse. Progression 'as stop. Dis yearI wan' ride a lot more powder - da's da future - an' I wan' to land switch in da backcountree. No one doing dat yet.
It's wide open, and your style is geared for it. But, uh...how would you describe your style.
Total skate influence. I 'ave been skateboard since I was a kid. Even doh dis is on concrete, an' you are face sideways, an' it has sweet fuck all to do wit ski, skate 'as play a huge role wit my steez
For sheez. Are you going to compete this year?
Comp is for skier wit no sponsor. Me? I am over dat. I go to concentra'e on film and ride in da backcountree.
Revoutionary! There's no one in the backcountry except telemarkers, eh?
I know dat bro. I buy a sled las' year an' use it for booter mission. It was my firs' year ridin. dat powder. One time in Quebec I ski pow on da in-run to a jump an' ride it out. Sick I also learn 'ow to outrun avalanche. Now I can turn da mountain into my bitch whenever I wan'
Was it hard learning how to use a beacon?
A whaaaa? For me, I put beacon on muy plate - avec deux oeuf, side by each.
How has turning pro changed your life?
I'm still da same guy I use to be. (cellphone rings) Uh...'old on a sec. (formal:) Ahem, PJ 'ere. (unlikely fusion of Franglais and ebonics:) Sup? Nutin' impor'an - doin' a in'erview wit SKIER magazine. Yeah? No. I can' No... 'ow abou' you come over? I be ;ere for a while. An' wear dat t'ing...yeah, dat one. See you in 10. (hangs up) So, Where were we, Progression? Right, i's all abou' progression.
For sheez. And then there's you pro model.
Yeah. i's comin' out soon. I tes' like, two differen' mold from da factory. Dis ski revolutionary - wood core, metal edge, an' a topsheet. Da graphic be finalize dis week. I did da artwork, of cours'-becasue I'm a hartis'. Actually, all my 'omies are hartis' too. I's very progressive.
For sheez. Whats the ski look like?
I can' really say, but da topsheet cool - I use to be a writer.
For sheez? A graffitti writer?
yeah, I use to tag bridge, loggin' truck, trailer home - all da inner city elemen' of Mange-Le-Castor. All my hartwork on da ski reflec' my root in da concrete jumble.
For sheez. Whats the best part of your job?
I love ski more dan anyt'ing in da worl'. I put somet'in back ina spor' dat give so mush to me. I push da bound'ry of our spor. because i's all about da kid. If I inspire a kid to take up ski, I done my job. But i's hard work, wit' dis progression an' all. I guess you can say i's all about givin' it into da kids backside. Wait...I mean back to da spor'. What I try to say is dat da progress- I givin' dat progression back to da kid, who are always the progressioner. Oh wait...
Hey, why do you always carry around three skis?
Da one taller dan me is my podium ski. Dat way, if I win, I get it 'igher for more exposure.
Right. Last words?
Don' buy ski from da big corporation. They don' care abou' me or you or anyone else. Cep' da guy dat sponsor me...or da company dat support our spor' Everyone suck cep' my sponsor. Know what I mean? Peace
