BRAYDON BRINGHURST'S ‘8600FT’ | FULL FILM LAUNCH | CLIMBING MOUNTAIN BIKING'S ICONIC ‘WHOLE ENCHILADA’ TRAIL

EMBARGO DATE/TIME: Wednesday 2nd November, 8 am PST / 4 pm CET – “The Whole Enchilada” is one of mountain biking’s most epic trails, attracting expert-level riders from around the globe to Moab, Utah, to challenge its nearly 8,000-foot descent over raw terrain of rugged rock drops and boulder fields. But no one has ever tried to ride up every inch of the trail, until now.

Inspired by his family and friends, many of whom are dealing with figurative mountains, Braydon Bringhurst sets out to climb this iconic trail. Braydon wanted to show the process of making it up what many would say is an unfathomable climb. Having worked closely with Dr. Craig Manning, a renowned performance psych, throughout his collegiate athletic and academic career, Braydon learned something he wanted to share with others: It's just as much about the mental strength as it is the physical.

With his wife and friends rallying behind him to share this message, and after putting forth great efforts, we present to you this 1.5-hour feature-length film, “8600FT.”
