Ultimate Rush

Most of the filming was conducted in the rugged backcountry of British Columbia, Alaska, the Rocky Mountains, the French Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes, but not at official events or secured sites.

Seasons 1-3 of Ultimate Rush was written and co-executive produced by Pulitzer Prize-nominee and Hollywood screenwriter Stephen Schiff, whose other works include the films Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, True Crime, The Deep End of the Ocean and Lolita.

The series documented the exploits of several high-profile extreme sports stars including Chris Davenport, Hervé Cerutti, Steve Fisher - and the late, Antoine Montant and Shane McConkey.

With these subsequent seasons, Ultimate Rush went to even greater lengths to show audiences the thrills, dangers and colorful personalities of the extreme sports world.

Skiers scope out steep mountain faces while kayakers see monumental waterfalls, bikers dense forests and base jumpers an abundant stretch of sky.
