Chris Haffey: Shock Interview Part2: Skate Life
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
I have heard that you are a nomad these days. What prompted you to pick up your things and go everywhere and stay nowhere? What are some pros and cons to being a nomadic wandering professional rollerblader?
Yea, I am actually looking for a place at this point, but for the last 6 months I have been on the move.
The motivation behind the lifestyle came from my constant travel. I had been gone so much, and knew I would be going on so many trips in the coming months that paying 800 bucks a month for a place a was never at didn’t make sense anymore.
The main pro to that lifestyle is the lack of rent. It is really nice for the first to roll around and not give away about half my check. It was fun to cruise around responsibility free, always hanging out with new people, and not really feeling something pulling you back to one place.
As fun as it is, there are a few things I don’t like. My car is constantly packed to the brim.
Sometimes it was weird to come home from a long trip and be at the airport trying to figure out where to go instead of having your own space to go back to. Other than those things though it was pretty nice.

Chris haffey: Shock Interview

What do you think about the current state of blading “culture”?
In what ways could we make it more robust and interesting to the outside world?
That’s a hard question. I don’t think we need to change much at all. Its not that it needs to be more interesting, but that the outside world just needs to be shown how interesting it already is.
The thing is you can’t force feed it to people. I think something as simple as having events with the right format and the right courses (to keep it impressive to an outside eye) in the right places would help a lot. Places like Venice beach or any boardwalk of any beach for that matter.
Places with a stupid amount of foot traffic. They see how tight skating is, and I think you can get a good sense of the culture from an event like that. Especially if its less of a contest and more of just a showcase of tight blading.
If its relaxed and all the skaters are having a good time it will come across to all the people that walk by. I know when I used to go to NISS at Venice Beach I always wanted to get better just so I could be hanging out with everyone cause it looked like they were all having a good time on and off the course.

Chris Haffey & Brian Aragon: snow time!
Sunday, February 8th, 2009
quoting Chris Haffey:
I spent a few weeks in Colorado this January, and these are a few clips that we got while I was there.
I know its a lot of the same tricks and what not, but we never wanted to be carrying the camera with us. Hopefully by the end of the season I’ll be able to get something up with a little more variety.
