Snowboarder Leanne Pelosi interviews on Fuel, Transworld & more

After her company, Runway Films, garnered huge acclaim for their all-female snowboard film See What I See last winter Leanne Pelosi took a break from filming to concentrate on actually riding - really stepping things up nabbing a part with prestigious Tahoe-based film crew Standard Films.

A huge achievement already (only legends Janna Mayen and Tara Dakides have filmed with them previously), the K2 / Bonfire / Monster and more sponsored pro's filming schedule was then unfortunately cut short due to injury. But, that's not stopped 'Party' Pelosi raking in the column inches - as there are now interviews with her everywhere, from Transworld Snow to Method Europe, Fuel TV to random aussie websites...

In the current issue of Method - Europe's edgier snowboard publication - photographer Christy Chaloux interviews and portraits her long time friend Leanne. Check out Christy's blog for details on the piece:

Leanne talks injuries, the future of Runway, See What I See, Standard and pushing progession as she catches up with Liam Gallagher on TransworldSnowboarding.com:

It starts out pretty patronising, but Fuel have short and sharp Q&A with Leanne online. (Personal rant: why do male interviewees always feel they have to reference how 'sexy' female athletes are when they write about them - surely the fact that she's accomplished, talented and successful is enough? Fragile male, egos I guess).

Australian site Boardworld, also chats with the Calgary born pro shred:
