I know plenty of dudes jealous of that handplant.     p. Jason Horton

I have always thought that the 25-year-old red-headed Amazonian woman known as Colleen Quigley was either a sourpuss, shy or just hated me. It turns out none of those things are true. In fact she’s a high spirited, highly educated, motivated person who rips on a snowboard. Either way, after watching this years Peep Show release and seeing Colleen throw her titties towards the heavens I decided no one deserved a Hump Day more than this young lady. We sat down and discussed everything from surfing to college, periods to tits, boys to men and brotherly love.

Peep Show, you had a part, did you like it?

Man Peep Show is awesome. Girl’s snowboarding has really needed something like this. I mean I love all my friends in snowboarding, but there are some gate keepers in female snowboarding right now, and it’s been a long time coming for something like this, something different.

Who convinced you to take your top off and send a backflip on film?

That was actually my idea. I dunno, Leanne had just sent me this footage of another topless backflip and I thought it was really funny, so you know, who doesn’t think boobs are funny, so I did it. I can only blame myself.

Can the boys of the world count on a sequel in next years video?

Haha, I don’t actually know. I wasn’t totally nude though. I had these nippies, like purple sparkly stars, like golfball size, and I have pretty small boobs anyway so I put them on, did the flip, and I’ve never seen Amber Stackhouse dump footage so fast. She didn’t even take her boots off, she just ran home, pulled the clip, cut it, put music to it, and then we watched it and realized it looked like I have pancake nipples, ‘cuz the nippies are purple and star shaped. So in the video those girls blacked it out because I don’t want people thinking I have pancake nipples. I think it’s funny though, because I’m not the girl who’s grind dancing at the bar you know?

Boobies in the air, beer in the belly!         p. Geery

Were you afraid of falling and hurting your boobies?

Not really, but I did fall on my ovaries once. That was like a serious injury. We were at this spot like two years ago. It was a rail that had a kink in the middle, like a down rail with a kink in the middle. So anyway, at the kink the rail turns like 45 degrees and, ok this is embarrassing, I slipped out on a 50-50, my head hit the ground on one side, my feet on the other, and I just happened to catch that kink right below my belly button. It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. Some weird stuff happened, I was all wet, I don’t really want to explain that, but like…

Wait, like you poured stuff out?

Uh, maybe, anyway… It was the worst pain I had ever felt in my life. I was dry heaving, crying, I couldn’t move for like five minutes. Then, like three days later my stomach had been swelling and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. I thought I was pregnant. So I went to the doctor and basically he told me I hit my ovaries really really hard. It was the worst pain ever.

How did a girl from Yonkers, New York get into snowboarding?

Well my family moved to Colorado and that’s where I started skiing, and then my two older brothers wanted to snowboard so I also wanted to snowboard.

Are you the product of your two older brothers?

Oh yeah for sure, and the Eastern Boarder guys. I am who I am because of all their shit,  and hearing what’s super lame about girls and well, basically just being made fun of for 25 years.

So you never had a shot at being a girly girl?

Nope, no way. Those guys shaped me.

How influential has HCSC been on your career?

This was my forth year working up there. When I started working I was actually kind of over snowboarding. I just wasn’t having fun or progressing, and I was surrounded by all these people who were probably not a great influence. But I came here, and HCSC pretty much saved snowboarding for me. I just got to ride with a lot of awesome people and it’s all been fun since then.

When did you decide snowboarding was going to be a career choice?

I don’t think I ever did. I’m not sure I even have yet. I see all these kids at camp, young kids, and they are already planning on being pro, their parents are planning on them being pro, they already have a video part planned out and all of that, that’s crazy. I was just a weekend warrior, no snowboard academies or anything. But sooner or later I got hooked up with reps. Went to college, decided to go to Mammoth, and then Susie Floros asked me if I wanted money and so, yeah, that’s it.

Would you rather always be on your period when you snowboard or have balls? And you don’t get a penis, just balls.

Wow, I thought I had an answer, but um, god I guess period. I really don’t want balls, plus the no penis would be really weird.

What’s it like going snowboarding on your period?

I don’t know if I should talk about this in public? I dunno, it kinda sucks. It’s pretty much like doing anything else on your period, just kinda sucky. Have you seen that Youtube video? The one where the girlfriend dips her tampon in the ketchup and stuff and just whacks him in the side of the face. The dude gets so bummed, he even throws up.

Do you prefer ginger people or non-ginger people?

Well I guess you don’t know the rule then, gingers hate each other. Have you ever seen two gingers hanging out together, or making out? No, you haven’t. That’s why we’re going extinct, we never procreate.

Have you ever been mistaken for Shaun White?

I don’t know if it has ever actually happened, but I’ve heard the joke a lot.

What’s the biggest downside of being a ginger girl snowboarder?

I think Shaun White pretty much hit the nail on the head. I mean, I do have red pubic hair.

Why are boys so much better at snowboarding than girls?

Ok, this topic comes up all the time. I’m not really sure. I think it’s just the way that we’re made up chemically. Like, why don’t girls fight as much as boys? Like usually when I get shots it’s because I’m totally irate, yelling at myself, all that. I bet it’s some sort of mix of like adrenaline and testosterone. I feel like guys have an easier time just manning up to things.

Are big boobs or small boobs the way to go for ladies involved in Action Sports?

I feel like Pat (Bridges) asked this question a while ago to Hana Beaman I think. Small boobs for sure. I think? I dunno know? I can’t really say because I’ve only ever had small ones. I think small ones though because your center of gravity is lower with smaller boobs and higher with bigger boobs, but maybe like if you wind up for a spin the momentum works in your favor with big boobs? And also, in snowboarding, if you’re a girl, the better looking you are and bigger boobs you have is going to work to your advantage for sure on the marketing side of things.

Have you ever thought of trying to become one of those girls that just models and doesn’t really bother to ride all that well?

That would never work. I have red hair and I’m weird looking.
