We can’t wait to see prAna ambassadors Chris Sharma, Steph Davis, Alex Puccio and a host of other great climbers in Chuck’s latest film!
THE SCENE
From the director of PURE and CORE, get ready to infiltrate four of the biggest scenes in the world of climbing.
Moab, Utah: a mellow desert town surrounded by massive sandstone towers, where climbers test the limits of danger while still maintaining a strict traditional ethic. Boulder, Colorado: the undisputed social hub of US climbing, with sponsored athletes of every discipline living in a city packed-full of talent, competition, and progressive ideas. Innsbruck, Austria: with possibly the highest concentration of talent in the world, the competition climbers here fight not only for the tops of podiums, but also corporate sponsorships and mainstream success. Catalunya, Spain: with near-limitless potential, Northern Spain has claimed the title of sport climbing capital of the world, and is now home to climbing’s largest population of elite sport climbers.
Filmed in stunning 4K Ultra High Definition, get ready for a fast-paced ride through the centers of the climbing universe.
I recently watched a very eye-opening movie called Food Incorporated. I now realize how important it is to support our local farmers who raise their animals humanely and grow their crops pesticide and GMO free. By supporting our local farmers, by doing our best to buy natural and organic, we can decrease revenue going to slaughterhouses and to large companies that treat their animals and workers heartlessly. Farming machinery is extremely expensive and therefore most farmers are in debt. The only way they can afford to keep going is to work under huge corporations that think cheaper is better at any cost. Many American families can barely afford to buy produce let alone buy organic produce. All the while, the government chooses to make cheeseburgers and French fries cheaper than a head of broccoli. There is no quick fix, but we have the power to change how our food is grown, manufactured and processed. It is simply supply and demand. If we demand quality food it will be supplied. Please watch this movie and pass it on to others as well.

In 2009, “Race Across the Sky” captured the imagination of countless mountain bike enthusiasts when Lance Armstrong not only won the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, but set a new course record that seemed unattainable.

Joined by the toughest elite field this high-altitude century race has ever seen, these riders are tested by one of the most brutal courses known to the sport. From the center of the little mining town of Leadville, Colorado, to the 12,570-foot top of Columbine Mine, get ready to be inspired all over again.
