Let It Ride is the story of Craig Kelly. The film basically chronicles his life in order and highlights everything. You really get know the legend and what made him tick in this 90 minute flick. This movie is no joke either. Done in HD and much epic footage is shown and much footage never before seen. The movie is narrated by James Hettfied (yes from Metallica) with Metallica and other ripping tunes. The film has won several awards at the X Dance and Whistler film festivals.
As far as I am concerned he was one of the greatest and most influential riders of all time. From his soulful approach to the sport to helping to modernize and develop the equipment to dominating competition to dropping out of the scene throwing away the money and creating freeriding, to …everything. There is so much Craig accomplished that you have got to go see this movie. There is not a snowboarder alive that is not touched by his influence some how, some way.
