Craig Kelly Quotations

My experience and what I do in snowboarding is really quite independent of the industry and the more independent it is, the more pure and better I feel about snowboarding.

What you do once you're beyond the confines of your local lift service can be as limitless as the mountains themselves.

Oakley and Burton have been my main sponsors since '87. I've been riding for both of them.

So I've been pushed farther and farther out into the mountains, but at the same time realizing that that experience is really nice and I'm glad I'm getting pushed out there farther.

I suffer every moment of every day that I am not with my son. All I want is to be reunited with my son.

All of a sudden you have this feeling of clarity. Backcountry snowboarding has really done a lot to boost that feeling in me.

I've always been into powder, that's what I like riding, and now you've got to go farther to get it.

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.

I didn't really get that into backcountry riding until about eight or 10 years ago and the main reason for it is the ski areas are more crowded.

I don't ride ski areas all that much, and I don't do contests and I don't go in snowboard shops and I rarely read the snowboard magazines.

We put a lot of emphasis on it. There are so many benefits to having trees.

You are innocent until proven guilty. And I think Ernie deserves the same consideration regardless of whether he's a politician or a janitor in the street.

It wouldn't be the first thing you would test for if a dog came in with certain symptoms, ... (West Nile) would affect their central nervous system making the dog seem extremely disoriented.

The team put all their effort into today and although we did not get the result we would like, it was a lot of hard work and effort. We are as dedicated to this team and Grand-Am as the day we started.

After what this team managed to pull off at Mid-Ohio, we continue to be amazed. Their focus on the championship this year is undoubtedly always present in their minds and it shows in their work and dedication. SunTrust could not be more proud to be associated with this team.

You're welcome to stay all day. As long as you're doing (the activities), we'll stay.

You talk about the promotion of the game up north in a rugby state . . . and if he misses games because of that, it's embarrassing.

I suffer every moment of every day that I am not with my son, ... All I want is to be reunited with my son.

For Oakley, I'm basically a media vehicle for them to promote the product. For me, it's both, I get a salary from them, but I also get great products so it just kind of works, continues on.
