Going Places

In "Going Places," visiting surfer Pacha Light learns about the country's premiere wave Punta Roca from Bryan Perez, its most famous local and El Salvador's first pro surfer. (Who, it should be noted, learned to surf at Punta Roca on half a surfboard.) Pacha then heads up the coast to El Zonte, home of Puro Surf -- a unique hotel/surf academy -- and catches up with founder Marcelo Castellanos, who talks about the performance academy which coaches local surfers. Pacha continues on to meet Suri Barrera, who started Hijas del Mar, a program specifically targeted to helping young Salvadorian girls get in the water.

Arc’teryx Presents: Then You’re Just Floating

Arc’teryx athlete Jazmine Lowther and sports performance psychologist Dr. John Coleman discuss flow state — and what it's like to experience it on the trails. Listen in, find out how to access this elusive sensation when you’re in the mountains, then tune in out there.

Cycles of Life

Cycles of Life follows Olympian and six-time U.S. Elite National Champion Erin Huck as she trades podiums for dirt roads and start lines for mountain huts. Alongside her husband Andrew, their three-year-old son Brennan, and Erin’s parents, Terrie and Al Huck, this family cycling adventure becomes something far bigger than a trip — it becomes a return to where it all began.

Hidden Down South

A journey across Andalusia without a route. Starting in Huelva, Ibai rides by asking, listening, and following what each encounter offers. From open marshlands to the distant presence of Mulhacén and Veleta, the landscape reveals itself slowly. Alone on the road, movement becomes a way of understanding. Not a search for a destination but a conversation with a place that cannot be reduced to one image. A story about distance, trust, and letting the land speak first.

Conner Mantz: The American Record

For 23 years, the American men’s marathon record stood untouched.
In 2025, Conner Mantz changed that.
From the grind of training to the start line in Chicago, this film follows his journey — and the race that rewrote American distance running history.

Facing Giants

Between a win at Research and Development and going head-to-head with Elena Hight at last year’s Natural Selection, the past few winters have been transformative for Ellery Manning. Mix in her first year of school with competing at Mt. Baker’s Legendary Banked Slalom, and all the other fixings of an 18-year old’s day-to-day life, and it’s hard to comprehend how Manning has kept up. But one thing’s for sure: she has arrived.

PERSISTENCE | Life on the road as a climbing family of four 

This is a story about how a normal family chose climbing, meaning and persistence over comfort and convention.

Climbing has been Kirsty's and Hardin's way of life for over 20 years. After having their two kids Arlo (8) and Eia (6), they slowly began to realize that they wanted to build their family life and their children's childhood around what climbing has always given them — freedom, adventure and time together outdoors in the wild each day.

That decision meant letting go of comfort and certainty, stable jobs and predictable routines. The path society expects families to follow but wasn’t for them.

Shaped by the Land

In Ille-sur-Têt, the land sets the rhythm and the landscape guides every decision. Mountain biking becomes a way to reconnect with the territory, respecting its limits and identity. A movement that brings life back to the village, creating connections between people, paths, and local knowledge.

Trails Still Blazing

Megan McJames carved her own path in her alpine ski racing career, culminating in three Olympic performances. Her newest path into motherhood takes the values she found in her athletic career and applies them to that of being a parent — notably, doing things her own way. Trails Still Blazing explores the balance between women as caregivers and women as adventurers. This film is a love letter to women everywhere who are experiencing both, a pursuit of passion and of parenthood.

Of the Black Sea

More than a ski film, Of the Black Sea is a personal, character-driven journey with Türkiye’s mountains as the backdrop. Turkic-American pro skier Giray Dadali returns to his father’s homeland to confront a question he’s carried for years: Which has a greater influence—heritage or upbringing? As he
steps into a new chapter of life, the trip becomes both an adventure and an exploration of belonging. Moving between winter terrain, lived-in moments, and reflections on family and culture, Giray searches for where he fits—and what parts of Turkish identity he wants to carry forward. The result is a film about connection: to place, to lineage, and to the stories we inherit and rewrite.
