The Full Monty of adventure film making is about to take you on a ride you'll never forget.
The seventh annual 'Tahoe Adventure Film Festival' is set to be a diorama of adrenaline driven film production and celebration showcasing the best of the best extreme athletes out there serving it up.
Imagine? Follow me and I'll make you famous. Get your kayak and paddle off the precipice of a 110' waterfall into oblivion. Then we'll scale a 9000' cliff in Patagonia, only to fly off the top in a squirrel suit. And then, were climbing the Eiger solo (just you), and skiing the north face as a first descent! Had enough? Not yet? Good, were just getting started. And then, you'll follow my line, skating, jumping, and grinding everything concrete, steel, and man made in LA. And then, were a human bungee jumping off the 876' New River Gorge Bridge. And then, I'm the one towing you in, on a pwc, onto the face of Jaws, in Maui, at 60 MHP. After that we take a short lunch break, and then were off to...! Well you get the idea.
Is this you? Definitely not me! But then..."if I could only experiencing that just once?"
And you can… Tahoe Adventure Film Festival - The next best thing to doin' it!
