mountainfilm onTour, take 2

Since I was seeing it for free (albeit on a tiny laptop screen), I decided to go ahead and take in the night-time short films, too!
By and large, these are longer, or deal with older people, or have much wilder and rougher storylines that aren't suitable for elementary-aged kids.

Surfing via Frank Paine, a 73-year-old South Bay icon and humble local legend whose life orbits around a two-block stretch of beach.
 
 
Though they have each lost a leg in their own challenging stories, Meg Fisher and Jack Berry show us there is always a reason to keep pushing – to keep riding.

This time, Rafael Bridi took his record-breaking balloon crossing tightrope project back to his hometown of Florianópolis, Brazil. Enjoy the immersive experience from Rafael’s perspective, via 360 video.
Tear Down The City (2023), 5 mins

Tear down the city is a mountain bike video filmed and created in the city of Montreal. It's a mix of classic mountain bike terrain in the forest with a touch of urban and street riding by Xavier Massicotte.
 
Most definitely a thrilling way to end this session, and a nice way to warm up my day.
