Locomotion Films' LET IT RIDE profiles the life of legendary freerider Craig Kelly, a man whose life inspired us all. In a world of X Games and multi-million dollar endorsements, the fact that Craig talks of spirituality, the connection between the souls, the mountains and snowboarding should be the first sign that something is going to be different.
Craig Kelly, who held more than 7 World Snowboard Championship titles, eventually gave it all up in order to dedicate his life to big mountain back country riding: and he became the best at it.
With interviews spanning over 25 years LET IT RIDE documents the early days of the sport, the rise of Craig to the top, his worldwide search for knowledge and understanding and his dedication in sharing his experiences in the mountains by becoming the first accredited mountain guide on a snowboard. The mountain that once gave Craig everything in life took it all away the day he was killed in an avalanche on January 20, 2003. This is his story, the life of a man who influenced everyone he came in contact with.
Let It Ride was honored with "Best Picture" and "Best Soundtrack" awards at the 2007 X- Dance Film Festival. Metallica singer James Hetfield narrates the film and the soundtrack includes Hawthorne Heights, The Doors, Swollen Members, Metallica, and Pearl Jam among others. [ VIEW THE TRAILER ]
