The film traces snowboarding’s routes back to the very beginning of the sport, starting in 1965 with Sherman Poppen's home-made invention for children, chronicling its boom in the 1990s up to its present mainstream status as a global cultural phenomenon. We Ride features interviews with some of the sport's most influential figures, including Todd Richards, Jake Burton Carpenter, Tom Sims, Craig Kelly, and burn-sponsored snowboarders Ståle Sandbech and Gigi Rüf. It was narrated by actor, comedian and pro-skater Jason Lee (actor) and directed by Grain Media founders Jon Drever and Orlando von Einsiedel, who had been a pro-snowboarder before turning his hand to film.[3]
The film premiered at the opening of the annual snowboarding contest Air & Style in Innsbruck on 31 January 2013,[4] and made its online premiere on 24 February 2013.[5]
