Dude is a legend
I don't know what prompted it, but tonight I found myself searching Youtube for clips from one of the orginal Burton snowboard videos, Board With The World. Any other old guys out there will know what I'm talking about :)
Specifically I was looking for that awesome footage of Craig Kelly riding at Powder King way up in northern BC. That footage is pretty much what got me into snowboarding. I couldn't find any comprehensive clips from those scenes, but I did find this nice Craig Kelly retrospective which includes a few brief shots from those same reels at Powder King. The guy was (is!) a legend, RIP.
How's the season treating y'all in the northern hemisphere?
nice tribute.
winter has finally arrived here in europe, i reckon this cold snap should kick the season off properly. ther was enough snow to have fun in serre chevalier (france) at christmas but the perfect weather lent itself rather well to beers at lunchtime too!
check out this shot of whitewater in canada where i intend to test ride my kingswoods next winter:

That makes me want to quit my job and move to Nelson, BC.
me too.
if a bunch of us do that then it wouldn’t seem so crazy. go on…
do it, do it.
Hey Bud the footage is from the movie “Board with the World”. Powder King is not located in Nelson BC ( Although Craig hailed from Nelson) but 107 km from Chetwynd BC.
