Let It Ride

Region 4 - PAL - 85 minutes

Once in a while a person comes along and flat changes it all. For the world of snowboarding Craig Kelly was that guy. He led the charge, and led it with more class, skill and energy than anyone else would have or could have. Craig Kelly was snowboarding's original captain, and remained on top until his tragic death in an avalanche in 2003.

Director Jaques Russo's 'Let It Ride' is Craig's story. The adolescence of snowboarding saw Craig Kelly win more than seven World Snowboard Championship titles, and million dollar contracts and the X-games soon followed. Craig did not follow. He gave it all up in order to dedicate his life to big mountain backcountry riding, and became the first accredited mountain guide on a snowboard.

The mountain that gave Craig everything also took his life on January 20, 2003, a tragedy that hit the snowboarding world hard, making the boldest of riders feel suddenly human. Craig Kelly's tragic death united snowboarders around the globe and reminded them that snowboarding is more than a sport - it's a culture.
