Multiple festival Best Films and Best Soundtrack winner, "Let It Ride" takes you on a moving journey with legendary world-class US snowboarder Craig Kelly (1966-2003), a man whose quest for happiness takes us places other snowboarding movies never go. From riding rooftops in British Colombia to surfing in South America, from halfpipe glory to backcountry first descents, Craig Kelly was a dominating competitor and icon of big mountain riding. But he was also the forerunner of a new way of thinking about winning, about nature, and about life. With footage shot over 15 years, Director Jacques Russo masterfully captures the spirit, skill and energy that defines Craig Kelly's life and won him countless World Cup, World Championship and US Open titles before dying in avalanche in Canada in 2003. Add compelling narration by Metallica frontman James Hetfield, and you have a contemporary movie that is also the definitive historical look at the roots of extreme snowsport culture. Be ready to laugh, cry and cheer as snowboarding's original captain sets you on the journey of a lifetime - from first place in the heart.
