All these globe-trotting glossy freeride vids are all well and good, but we can’t help thinking that what the world really needs is something a bit gritty, a bit British, a bit, well, Northern. It’s tough to get much more North than Scotland, and it’s from there that jon_e and the boys at Descent-World have launched True North.

They’ve spent much of the year filming stuff and gathering footage from all sorts of sources (we’re pretty sure we spotted some of your editor’s camerawork in the trailer…) and it’s now edited together, released and on sale. We’ve no idea what it’s like, but we like the sound of it and the trailer (download here) looks promising. Further info from Descent-World.
