Faster, Steeper, Higher, Deeper! This is the Radical Reels Tour.

Every year the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival presents the wildly popular Radical Reels night – a presentation of the best high-adrenaline films entered into the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival competition. Inspired by the excitement of the Festival event, the Radical Reels Tour has been travelling with a selection of the hottest action sports films since 2004.

The Radical Reels program is made up of short, action-packed climbing, paddling, mountain biking, BASE jumping, skiing, snowboarding, and other adrenaline sport films.

This year the Tour will visit more than 50 locations across the US and Canada, including Asheville. The event will take place at the Carolina Cinemas on September 10th.

To get you stoked for the festival, here is a trailer:
