Review: “Dear Rider” is a well-told story of the history of snowboarding through the life of Jake Burton Carpenter
Dear Rider is juggling a lot of story threads, from Jake Burton Carpenter's life through the story of Burton Snowboards through the overall story of snowboarding. But it does a good job of weaving a compelling story out of all those different angles.
Director Fernando Villena talks “Dear Rider,” on Jake Burton Carpenter and Burton Snowboards: “This was the startup of startups.”
"Jake's story was also the story of an entrepreneur, and a man who envisioned a sport where there was none, and threw everything he had into making it a sport."
“Dear Rider,” a Fernando Villena documentary on snowboarding pioneer Jake Burton Carpenter, is coming to HBO
This will be narrated by Woody Harrelson, and will include interviews with Mark McMorris, Shaun White, and Kelly Clark.
“Fire On The Mountain,” the Bill Walton-narrated and Grateful Dead-soundtracked extreme sports film, will air on ESPN and ABC
"Recently, while shadow boxing the apocalypse, and wandering the land, I came upon the creation of the world, and the birth of fire. I quickly spiraled round and round, and was immediately sucked into the vortex of Fire On The Mountain —The Movie. It has become a harmonic convergence of the highest order."
