"RIDE iT OUT", raises the bar on snowkiting films. Completed this year and available at http://www.kitesites.com, the film is an official selection at major sports, environmental, and mountain film festivals.
Jeff Cole of the Winter Wildlands Alliance says, "Everyone loved 'RIDE iT OUT'. It's fun. It's action packed." "It was the film that got the 'Jury's Favorite Award' because the jury liked it the best!"
"RIDE iT OUT" was also a big hit at the Sawtooth Mountain Film Festival. Kayla Christopherson, Culture Writer for the local newspaper writes:
"Highlights from Friday night's screening included an informative and hilariously fun view at snow kiting, entitled 'Ride it Out'. "Viewers learn that the sport of snow kiting is one of the most "earth friendly" activities that can be practiced. Because of the power of wind, the sport can be executed with a nearly invisible carbon footprint. The audience was encouraged to 'ride out' global warming by enjoying the speed, flight and fun that the awesome sport of snow kiting offers."
The producers, J Clive Jordan and Darrel Thomas, brought snowkiting to the largest and most important worldwide festival dedicated to sports television and movies, FICTS in Milan, Italy. "ABDUCTED BY THE WIND" (2007) received several awards including a "Mention d'Honneur" at the 25th F?d?ration Internationale Cin?ma T?l?vision Sportifs Milano and a Silver Ten Award at SMTV India. The film was also voted one of the most innovative films at the Cold Smoke Awards in Bozeman, Montana.
J Clive Jordan and Darrel Thomas are active in the wind sports community in Southern Idaho. J Clive Jordan usually carries an HD camera when snowkiting and gets shots of unimaginable beauty, big air, and deep backcountry powder. He produces the KiteSites.com Series, one of the leading video blogs about kiteboarding and snowkiting.
"I don't use snowmobiles, just the power of the wind," Jordan said.
While working in television, J Clive Jordan was nominated by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for Emmy awards for sports projects. He is named on several awards from Idaho State Broadcasters Association and Idaho Press Club for his work in news production.
