The 2021 tour will take you around the globe: Biking in an attempt for the speed record, longboarding in the French Alps, diving into the world of Sri Lanka’s first competitive female surfer, pushing the limits with French-Canadian sport of ice canoeing and joining Lucy Barnard on her walk around the world.

Films included are: BETWEEN WALLS 2 minutes : Austria — In spring 2019 gigantic walls of snow piled up along the pass road to the Timmelsjoch, Austria. Johanna Bolanos Cabrera and Jasmijn Hanegraef grab their longboards and took the chance to downhill at great speed through this stunning scenery. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS ANYWAY 12 minutes : Canada — 50 years ago the first women’s ice canoe team crossed the icy waters of the St. Lawrence River during the Carnival of Quebec’s traditional race. In 2018, six women decide to form their own team. Their goal: to compete in the Quebec Ice Canoe Circuit. EASTBOUND 50 minutes : UK — Join Jenny Graham’s attempt to become not only the first woman to ride around the planet unsupported, but also the fastest. BLACKBERRY SWIRL 5 minutes : USA — Mountain bike pros Corinne Prevot and Ella McAndrew enjoy summer in Vermont as they zig-zag down flowy trails and leaf peep through the incredible forests of their home state. WALK THE EARTH 22 minutes : Australia/Canada (top photo) — In a fleeting moment Lucy Barnard decided to become the first woman to walk the length of the earth. Starting in Ushuaia, Argentina she will be walking 30,000km over 5 years until she reaches Barrow, Alaska. She will be the first woman — and one of only a handful of people — to have ever completed it. SKIVAS 17 minutes : France — Featuring 10 of the best female skiers and snowboarders, Skivas introduces us to some rad riding women. The 100% female film proves that these “Ski Divas” are pushing the boundaries of freedom, creativity and sisterhood on and off the mountain. MUDDIEST KNOWN TIME 5 minutes: Australia — Young adventurer Milly Young runs the full 100-mile Port Davey and South Coast Tracks in remote southwest Tasmania, Australia. The gruelling course, with 7,000 miles of elevation gain, endless mud, obstacles, sleep deprivation and crazy weather, pushes her to the limit. WE ARE LIKE WAVES 13 minutes: USA — Along the South Coast of Sri Lanka, surfing is everywhere. Yet only foreigners and local men fill the lineups. Surfing is not seen as a sport for girls. But when Sanu turned 18, she began working in the kitchen at a surf camp alongside her brother, a surf instructor, and the trajectory of her life changed dramatically. Blackberry Swirl
