There is no better way to get stoked about skiing, biking, riding, or climbing than by watching the 2017 edition of the Banff Radical Reels Tour! We’re talking adventure mountain biking, climbing and skiing massive spines as well as shenanigan bike riding in Spain. The Radical Reels Tour, presented by The Banff Centre, continues to push boundaries with the best action sports films from the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival.

In its 14th year in Sandpoint show participants will experience eight wild action sports as seen through the eyes of some of today’s top athletes and most talented adventure sport filmmakers such as “Locked In”, where deep in Papua New Guinea’s rainforest a team of kayakers attempt a very committing 13 day first decent in one of the most remote corners of the world. Also, “La Liste” where Swiss ski phenom Jeremie Heitz complies a list of the most interesting peaks to ride in the Alps many, extreme descents, following in the paths forged by his heroes. If you love the world of challenging free falling flyers, wild mountain ranges in the Alaskan wilderness or crazy attempts at breakneck speeds while paragliding Radical Reels was produced for you.

Held annually each fall the Banff Mountain Film Festival has included the Radical Reels night which is a special screening of the wildest high adrenaline films entered in the Banff Mountain Film Festival. With so many action films being submitted to the film festival each year that could not be fit into the regular World Tour this resulted in the creation of the hugely successful Radical Reels evening presentation and road tour. That first year send-off was also a kudos to North Idaho audiences as the Banff Centre ran a pilot program in Sandpoint, one of the six sites worldwide to run the initial Radical Reels program.
