burn PRESENTS: We Ride - The Story of Snowboarding (Full Movie)

56 yo disabled vet (Iraq 2006) Snowboarding has changed my entire life. I'm one of the oldest women I know riding in summit county, CO. I watch films and go try what I think I've learned. Full body protection has kept me from dying. A few cracks and pops later, I'm 16 days into our season. Just rode two storm days and my legs are like jelly, heart is full. Best buds out there are the young guys/grrls. They watch out for me and help. We don't leave our own behind. Love is in the air. Full-speed ahead! Thanks for the film, it's beyond words.

It's not about the celebrities of boarding. It's about that feeling you get going down that run, that back country, everything that changed your view on the world. It's about the freedom you feel on that board.

Watching this in 2021. 41 years old, new to snowboarding. Can barely make turns but I'm getting there. Thanks to these pioneers. This film was well made. Thank you!

Still have my 1988 Sims switchblade. Will never get rid of it. Loved this. Thank you .

RIP Craig Kelly. What you did for snowboarding will never be forgotten. "There is a peace in the silence of the backcountry, There is a beauty in the white of the greatest peaks, There is a serenity in the carving of winter's bounty, There is an awe in the levity of our farthest leaps, To those who know such elation, Is bestowed the greatest gift, To know the sensation, Of riding adrift, The most beautiful of God's creation, A land of exploration and wintry pleasure, Where snowboarding holds our deepest admiration, Always and forever." This goes out to all snowboarders, let's keep this sport alive and better than ever.   

Rest In Peace Jake Burton Carpenter.

Amazing documentary! I love the reporter "packed with phrases such as Rip it up, dude". He says it so uncomfortably I'm dying 😂

Ride in peace Jake. Thank you for everything you've done for snowboarding. Yesterday you left us, but snowboarding will always be with us.

Im 35 and ive recently got into snowboarding and after looking at all the companies I realized Burton loves vets and appreciate them so much we get a discount! Thank you to everyone who took part in inventing this sport! Burton forever..

As soon as I heard "it all started with ny little board" a wave of emotions flooded me and I cant stop crying. I am so greatful to have grown up in a time and place with my parents in a position to take me to the ski hill when I was 7 ever since then snowboarding has been my expression of joy. Maybe its cause my dad just died and it was his love that brought the mountains into my life. Maybe its cause snowboarding is the only thing in my life that I will choose to do till I die. Maybe it has more to do with how beautiful it is to be so free in the mountains and the skills, life lessons and friendships I have made through the bond we have. Maybe its all of that and so much more I cant explain. I know I will never forget, and the love will never die as there is nothing more peaceful and satisfying to me than being in the mountains with family and friends sliding on the soft pillowy freshness that is snowboard life. Thank you for reading this...

I'm 32 just snowboard for the first time. I fell in love with it. I just wished I picked up this hobby sooner.

This documentary seriously brought me to literal tears. I fell in love with this sport only a month ago and I still remember the first time I was able to actually ride. The joy and that feeling, truly indescribable. I had no idea any of the history behind it and it makes me so happy to now know. I may have only started a month ago but after my 4th day ever I bought my new set up because I realized that I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. I'm planning on going to CU Boulder for college and all I want is to be a pro. If I can't I want to be that snowboarder that kids look up to in the ski resort who's absolutely shredding and making the entire resort there playground.

Im old enough that i did actually own a snurfer in my youth and i started snowboardng when Sorels were still widely considered the best boots avail. .. so i appreciate seeing this ... Its still hard to believe it took so long for snowboarding to reach where it is today...

I’m teaching my fiancé how to snowboard, she wants to go everyday now. I’m glad this will be in our family forever

Great doc from start to finish! My family doesn't understand why I talk, think and dream of riding in the middle of summer. Never quit since '86!

The production of this doc is top notch.

Watching Craig Kelly ride lines in the backcountry strikes a profound feeling in me. So smooth, so stylish and so soulful. R.I.P

Made it fully through, one sitting, absolutely AMAZING. 11 years old, been snowboarding for about a year.

Hey if any of these awesome people who were in this documentary are reading this I just want to thank you for your contribution <3 My mom and dad took me and my brother with a plastic boards with slide in bindings to a small local ski resort first time when I was 9 years old(y2,000).They wouldn’t let us on the mountain so we rented and I got to use a real board for the first time. I hated it. I was so frustrated that first day and I kept falling and having temper tantrums but I kept at it and by the end of the day they had to drag me off the mountain I was so in love. I’m 31 now and am going out west to Colorado(Breckinridge)for my first time in late February and am so excited. Snowboarding has always been my first true love and it’s so cool to see the origin story because honestly, I just didn’t know it! Thanks for putting this film on YouTube for me to see!

I found an original Snurfer in my mom's garage!  So stoked!
