Let It Ride: The Craig Kelly Story

I've seen a lot of snowboarding movies, most are heavy on style, low on substance. That's not always a bad thing when you are getting amped for the slopes, but sometimes after watching the hundredth handrail you long for something more. Craig Kelly was an early pioneer of snowboarding. After winning world titles, massive sponsorship deals, Craig left it all behind for the true backcountry experiences and to pioneer freeriding. Amazingly, success still followed. He didn't stop there and was on the way to becoming the first mountain guide on splitboard before he was killed in an avalanche. It's Craig's amazing evolution as a rider, his introspective philosophy, and his endless quest further into the soul of the sport and of the mountains that make this movie a compelling story worth watching more than once. I'd recommend having this in your library if you are a snowboarder looking for a deeper connection to the sport.

Everything about this movie is incredible!

If u love the sport and were part of it evolving or just starting and want to understand what it is to love what u do and do it under your terms, or u want to watch the best snowboarder ever and see how he comes one with the mountain. This is for you. Well done documentary with incredible footage, and some of the most influential riders, Kiethe Wallce,Steve Mathews, and the list goes on.

I am not one to claim heroes in my life. I began to snowboard at the age of 18. Craig Kelly taught me to ride. I have been a disciple of his riding style and philosophy ever since I discovered the purpose of camber radius. This dvd is an important piece of history on the evolution and progression of snowboarding by one of its greatest masters. get it, study it and practice. you won't regret it.

Loved this movie. A childhood hero of mine. Very interesting to hear his story!

Craig was an icon. He was a childhood mentor and idol. I am so happy I grew up during a period when I, as a child, was able to have such a profound role model. He was on his way to completely figuring it out....and he was so darn close.

A must see!!

Was a Christmas gift - he loved it!

If you snowboard, and I don't mean you go out on Saturday night twice a year. If you snowboard, as in it's a way of life for you, then you need to own this film. Embrace the history of snowboarding.

Let it ride is an awesome movie that truly captures the life of craig kelly. It is the definition of a tribute video and after watching it you can only wish that this man was still here today.

Great movie about one of snowboarding's legends, and why he is so important to the sport. If you are a snowboarder, then this is for you.
