4,380 days ago the world lost Craig Kelly, a true free spirit and pioneer of a generation. Craig Kelly has come to define so much of what we all strive to be as snowboarders. His smooth fluid style is a benchmark which we all strive towards whether we know it or not. We may never again see such power and grace cruising down the mountains. But you know what? I think more than a little a little of that classic style has found it’s way into all of us who seek the beautiful feeling of our next deep turn. Thanks for everything Craig.
“While I will always have the utmost respect for the superhuman out-of-bounds freestyle and extreme stunts that seem to continually progress beyond our imaginable limits, my highest appreciation goes out to the simple rider who’s out there just for the experience.” – Craig Kelly
