For some adrenaline-pumping outdoor flicks, catch the Sept. 12 “Radical Reels” tour hosted by REI in Asheville, with proceeds benefiting the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.

These outdoor sport films feature on-the-edge skiing, mountain biking, kayaking and more. The show gets under way at 7 p.m. at Carolina Cinemas, with tickets on sale at REI for $15 ($17 starting Sept. 11). Prizes will be given away at the screening.

This is an outgrowth of the famous Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. The Radical Reels Tour showcases nine short films that capture some of the most progressive talent in action.

Some of the films include strong language that might not be appropriate for children under 14 years old.
