DEGREES NORTH

“IN OUR WORLD, EVERYONE SEES EXPLORATION AS FINDING A PLACE NO ONE HAS TOUCHED.
BUT MAYBE EXPLORATION IS ALSO ABOUT FINDING A NEW WAY TO DO THINGS.” - Xavier De Le Rue

/ WATCH THE TRAILER /

Degrees North - Trailer

In Spring 2015, The North Face team riders, Xavier De Le Rue (FRANCE), Sam Anthamatten (SWITZERLAND), and Ralph Backstrom (USA) completed their two-year exploration project, Degrees North. The team dove into the remotest corners of the world in Svalbard and Alaska over two seasons, in search of steep angles on virgin territory. The expedition is a project driven by the team’s will to explore-- exploring places no one has ever seen before, exploring new ways of accessing and riding through new terrain, and exploring new ways to document it all. The team returned in April and were the first in the world to perform triumphant drop-ins from paramotor wings. On top of successfully pushing boundaries of the sport by introducing paramotor freeriding to the world, the expedition also resulted in a stunning exploration film shot on 4K videography.
