There is no better way to get stoked about skiing, biking, riding, or paddling than by seeing the 2015 edition of the Radical Reels Tour! We’re talking jaw-dropping bike jumps, nail-biting kayak drops, and mind blowing aerial stunts. The Radical Reels Tour, presented by The Banff Centre, now in its 12th year, continues to push boundaries with the best action sports films from the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival.

This year’s lineup:
