"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lucas Debari is a good kid. And an even better snowboarder. Raised in the no-stop light town of Glacier Washington, he learned to ride and then rip at Mt. Baker. Oddly enough, he chased the pipe-jock dream for a while, traveling from contest-to-contest, camping in the parking lots with his mom and competing alongside a lot of those Frends dudes. Then he got broke-off and over it. So he made a prodigal-son like return to Mt. Baker to find his line. Think it&amp;#8217;s safe to say he found it. His part in &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;These Days got people talking. And no doubt helped earn him his &amp;#8220;Rookie of the Year&amp;#8221; award at the Rider&amp;#8217;s Poll.&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This season started slow for Lucas though. He wasn&amp;#8217;t officially filming with anyone until almost February, then he busted his hand and was out for a few more weeks. But, he knows how to go to work when it&amp;#8217;s time, and from the sounds of it, Debari did pretty good for himself this winter.

That was a very surreal experience for me. Very humbling.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Did your life change dramatically? Are you rich and famous now?&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Oh, for sure.\\u00a0 I have successfully made all my loan payments on time this winter. That&amp;#8217;s ballin&amp;#8217;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At the beginning of the year you didn\\u2019t have plans to film with any video, but then Red Bull helped you get into the People movie right?&lt;\\/strong&gt; &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Yeah they sponsored me in at the bitter end. I&amp;#8217;m stoked for all the support Dave, Toshi and company have given me.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;So when did you start filming with those guys? &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I think my first day filming was the second week of March. It was a very small window, but I think I made the best of it.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;How\\u2019d the season go? Heard you punched your board and were out for a minute, what happened? &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;That was a bummer. I landed a Front 7 and backhanded my board. Somehow I shattered my knuckle through my glove. I&amp;#8217;m actually just about to go have surgery number 2 on it.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/dsc_0035.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1000091267\\\" title=\\\"dsc_0035\\\" src=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/dsc_0035.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"500\\\" height=\\\"747\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;&lt;small&gt;Looking for Lucas? Look for vapor trails in the trees. PHOTO:Liam Gallagher&lt;\\/small&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who did you ride with most this season? And where?&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I spent the majority of my filming season in the Canadian backcountry with Shaun McKay. We linked up as soon as I started filming and it worked well so we went with it. I also got some days in with Seth, Wille, and Curtis.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Were you happy with the footy you got?&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I would say that I&amp;#8217;m borderline content. With so little time I didn&amp;#8217;t get the opportunities I wanted to try out some new ideas. All in all, it was fun and now I&amp;#8217;m more motivated than ever for next season.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;How was this season, filming with People, different than your season filming for These Days? &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;I think it was pretty similar. I was able to work with Corey K again this year, which is something I&amp;#8217;ve become familiar with in the past. Justin and Pierre run a rad program though, I&amp;#8217;m definitely stoked to be in with those guys.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/dsc_0372.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img class=\\\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1000091268\\\" title=\\\"dsc_0372\\\" src=\\\"\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/dsc_0372.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"\\\" width=\\\"500\\\" height=\\\"347\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;&lt;small&gt;Lucas at last week&amp;#8217;s step-up sesh at Baker.

Any epic days? &lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;This season was a total bust for riding Baker. There were two weeks in late December that were sick. After that it didn&amp;#8217;t snow until March. And that was about when I started filming so I missed those pow days.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What&amp;#8217;re you up to in the coming months?&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;My plans are constantly changing, but as for now I&amp;#8217;m buying a canopy for my truck and am going to drive the 101 from Seattle to San Diego skating and learning to surf along the way.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1000091260 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'&gt;&lt;figure class='gallery-item'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;div class='gallery-icon landscape'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a href='http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/uncategorized\\/caught-up-with-lucas-debari\\/attachment\\/img_8751\\/'&gt;&lt;img width=\\\"156\\\" height=\\\"117\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/442\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/img_8751.jpg\\\" class=\\\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\\\" alt=\\\"img_8751\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\\/div&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;&lt;figure class='gallery-item'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;div class='gallery-icon landscape'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a href='http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/uncategorized\\/caught-up-with-lucas-debari\\/attachment\\/img_87511\\/'&gt;&lt;img width=\\\"186\\\" height=\\\"117\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/442\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/img_87511.jpg\\\" class=\\\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\\\" alt=\\\"img_87511\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\\/div&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;&lt;figure class='gallery-item'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;div class='gallery-icon portrait'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a href='http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/uncategorized\\/caught-up-with-lucas-debari\\/attachment\\/dsc_0035\\/'&gt;&lt;img width=\\\"78\\\" height=\\\"117\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/442\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/dsc_0035.jpg\\\" class=\\\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\\\" alt=\\\"dsc_0035\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\\/div&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;&lt;figure class='gallery-item'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;div class='gallery-icon landscape'&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t&lt;a href='http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/uncategorized\\/caught-up-with-lucas-debari\\/attachment\\/dsc_0372\\/'&gt;&lt;img width=\\\"168\\\" height=\\\"117\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/snowboarding.transworld.net\\/wp-content\\/blogs.dir\\/442\\/files\\/2009\\/05\\/22\\/dsc_0372.jpg\\\" class=\\\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\\\" alt=\\\"dsc_0372\\\" \\/&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;\\n\\t\\t\\t&lt;\\/div&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;\\n\\t\\t&lt;\\/div&gt;\\n\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
