Summary

Dear Rider tells the gripping story of how Jake Burton Carpenter, the man who pioneered the sport of snowboarding, took a favorite childhood toy and developed it into an international cultural phenomenon. By the late-90’s Jake's vision has catapulted the punk-infused culture of snowboarding into the mainstream—and, ultimately, onto the world stage of the Olympics. Culminating in the 2020 Burton US Open, the first since Jake’s passing, the film shows how one person’s dreams- coupled with tenacity and grit- can literally change the world.
