May 24, 2018 (Arctic Circle) – The Arctic Circle is dark for nine months of the year. It is a desolate and harsh environment not an ideal for human habitation, let alone recreational pursuits. But mountain bikers? Just maybe.

North of Nightfall is a bold new cycling documentary film chronicling a 16-day mountain biking session of a lifetime on the rough and tumble, muskox-laden Axel Heiberg Island in Nunavut in the middle of the summer with endless daylight.

Temperatures on the Island are above zero for one-month every year, so why not shred? Along for the ride of their lives, a crack team of dirt merchants include Darren Berrecloth, Carson Storch, Cam Zink and Tom Van Steenbergen tossed in amongst the narwhals, Arctic wolves, polar bears and beluga whales.

The crew are dropped off on the remote island 925 miles north of the Arctic Circle, truly in the middle of nowhere, via helicopter. The nearest hospital is a 12-hour flight away.

But those lines, though scattered amongst six glacial peaks, are something to behold, each running 2,000-2,740 vertical feet – challenging terrain unlike anything anyone’s ridden to date.

The film will be screening at select Cineplex Odeon locations throughout Canada for one-night only on Friday, June 1 at 7 p.m., and tickets need to be reserved by May 25…so do not delay.
