Braydon understandably and deservedly gets most of the praise - but Nicole (his wife) directed and edited. She did a masterful job because the quality of the story is effortless. Her work seems invisible - which is a big part of what makes this movie so brilliant.
Not only did she do a really great job directing editing, but she also handled all of this while they were moving and she was pregnant, giving birth, and then with a newborn. Total rockstar.
Does it though? When someone’s job, their livelihood, they way they pay for their family is to ride bikes and make videos, and they have spent their entire life able to focus fully on athletic performance, surrounded by the best coaches in all possible fields and sponsored to do this, it is considerably less “hard” or inspiring. Inspiration is when the ordinary creates the extraordinary. It’s a Michelin starred meal made on a camp fire using spam and a bread stick, not fifty chefs having access to the worlds finest ingredients in a specially built climate controlled kitchen.
@@minerva2958 I'd say Yes, it does. Inspiration is built off watching the man fail so many times and still accomplish the goal. The environment and resources provided are irrelevant.
In a way, this is the 'Free Solo" of MTB. Absolutely remarkable. This will always be remembered in the timeline of MTB history for years to come. Massive respect.
It’s got all the god that free solo had, but without the foolish risking of life should you fail. Don’t get me wrong I loved free solo, but I want to convey the message to my kids that you can accomplish things that nobody else has even thought to do, but you don’t have to risk your life to do it.
I’m 55. Used to do 24 hr solo Mtb racing along with lots of other extreme sports. I’ve ridden DOWN the Enchilada twice so I know what you accomplished. Truly one of the most insane feats I’ve ever seen. Good on ya! Thanks for the inspiration!!! I watched this from my couch while nursing a double leg break in a motocross accident. Found myself pedalling my broken leg while watching you grind lol. A much needed uplift, you changed me today and for that I thank you immensely!
At first I was thinking, "that's kinda interesting", but the way that every component of the story was shown, and the process was detailed made this captivating and inspiring. Free Solo of MTB. Well done Braydon and Canyon!
I absolutely love the ride. I've been there and have ridden the downhill and it's epic. The riding uphill aspect of this movie is unreal. Absolutely love it. The challenge, the effort, the grind, the grit, determination, everything. And what sticks out to me most is how good of a guy Braydon Bringhurst is. He's climbing this thing, doing something no one else has, exhausting himself and he's still checking on everyone else. Making sure they're ok, thanking them for being there, for helping, for cheering him on. If you can take one thing away from this, it's how good of a dude he is and how much better could we all be? Hope to meet you some day, Braydon. I've got so much respect for you. Thanks.
I don’t think I could ride the Snotch down, let alone climb it. Every video I’ve seen convinces me this is a “Must Walk” feature. To see Braydon clean it UPHILL is insane!
Writing from the perspective of a stay at home parent to an amazing spouse, I give his wife huge kudos to be the partner that enables her husband to go out an accomplish big things that are very visible to the world. She's doing big things are that mostly invisible to the world but are just as challenging and perhaps even more important. "Well done!" to both of you. And to Canyon bikes, thanks for including her and the children in this video because they are a part of his team as well.
The most impressive thing about this is that he did it on a canyon bike. No, seriously though, Braydon is amazing, and I was so glad he mentioned his mission. What a great film! So inspirational!!
This video is literally the most amazing challenge that I would have never thought to be possible. I can’t even put it into words how amazing this accomplishment is. I’ve seen The Snotch in real life and If you told me that someone rode up it I don’t know if I would have believed you. Braydon you are such an inspiration!
For decades I've always loved the challenge of climbing on an MTB, never too fussed about downhill shredding. I was so chuffed to find this video of a superior athlete who not only loves MTB climbs but is arguably one of the world's best at it. Braydon is like Nino Schurter, on a level far above pretty well everyone. Reminds me of Alex Honnold in his pursuit, psychology and athletics. High five also to the producer of the video, brilliantly done
Good comparison, yet this seems so much harder. 99% of riders can't even ride down the snotch. Riding up it is unimaginable. Let alone riding the other 30 plus miles 🤯
Watched the whole thing, the Whole Enchilada, and still working to accept that he did this. 2 hours ago this feat was beyond comprehension. Incredible! A true Mountain Biking Hardman. So inspiring to so many!
Having ridden the Whole Enchilada many times down I often wondered how ridiculously hard it would be to go up. I am now recovering from cranial surgery, and not able to ride at all. Your journey and accomplishment are so inspiring. It is a great reminder that the mountain in front of me can be climbed. Just focus on each individual challenge as it comes and if it takes 50 attempts that is what it takes. I will be back riding for sure, on the Whole Enchilada again… and no, it will not be up. Thanks, Braydon and Nicole for sharing this story.
Hey Zack, use the film for motivation and dare to dream what YOU are capable of. I suffered a life altering brain injury (downhill mountain biking) 6 years ago. At first I could not walk 100 yards, 3 years in I still couldnt drive more than 10 minutes from visual overload. Almost 6 years later, I still need to rest 2-4 times a day due to overstimulation. But after 2162 days or 2132 consecutive days of DAILY physio, I am able to mountain bike again (on an bike but hell who cares!!). Not super far and nothing crazy, but its been a friggin dream I never gave up on. I can't imagine how challenging, recovery from cranial surgery is, but you will find a little piece deep inside yourself, a part that has mental strength you never thought humanly possible. Hang on to that part and make sure that part of you comes out a little each day and you will have your Whole Enchilada! Giver diesel!
Oh man,@@ericpeysar2593 you are a warrior indeed! Thanks for the encouraging words. They hit just the right spot today. Way to go on your recovery. I will reflect on your story of perseverance when I need a little motivation, as I am sure many others do already. Keep it up amigo, and maybe we will run into each other on the W.E. in the near future.
Braydon is such an inspiration. This is my second time watching the film and I still have the same amount of stoke as the first time. Never been so stoked to see someone climb a bike, I’ve always been a downhill rider but this film is something special. Thank you Braydon for putting this out there and being such an inspiration!
This story is highly reminiscent of what we go through as rock climbers and finally makes me understand why I've been drawn to mountain biking. The struggle is the journey
One of the best motivational mtb videos ever. Much love and respect goes out to Braydon and his crew for making this trek for all to enjoy and take to heart. Thank you Canyon for supporting them through this journey. Always keep your head up and keep pushing. God Speed and Fair Winds.
@@bl00df4rt hah. I was barely able to clean this trail going DOWN on a hardtail. There's no way I could get burro pass, or any of the 3 crux moves, or about 20 other moves. Braydon is incredible. I've had the pleasure of riding with him before and it just blew my mind what he could do.
What a team Braydon & Nicole! I never expected to be so moved by a branded film, but this embodies the spirit of what I feel makes mountain biking (and its community) so great. It's so natural to want to overcome an obstacle in mountain biking and that spirit carries through to all aspects of life. You two are an amazing inspiration to me to know that we can tackle any challenge life brings through this exact process. Congratulations for this episode in your family's life! You've inspired mine. Thank you Canyon as well for understanding that vision!
@@hardtailparty lol. I was completely kidding. This dude is an absolute freak. I’d never expect anyone to WANT to do this, much less on a hardtail. That said, love your videos! Keep it up. Was stoked to get the response.
At the outset, I didn't think I would last the whole hour and a half. It was captivating right from the start.......a true testament to the writing and editing of this film. Of course, it couldn't have happened without Braydon's raw courage, stamina and unrelenting mental toughness. He could not have done this without the support of his family and many close friends to give him the support to see this through. This event will be talked about for a long time to come, until someone outdoes it. When you hold the record, it is just a matter of time before someone beats it. Thanks for this inspiring documentary..........
I remember bombing down Porcupine Rim a few years ago on a single track Litespeed with one inch of rear travel. the bursas in both wrists got all messed up for months from the impact. I passed people going the wrong direction and realized how much of a wimp I was. Excellent work doing this and getting it on film! Truly pinnacle athleticism, and great to see the right combination of family, friend, expert, and medical support!
I’m speechless. I’ve never seen anything like this before in terms of dedication, self discipline, and resilience. Watching this simply makes me want to try harder in every thing I do big or small, and NEVER even consider quitting. My gratitude to all involved.
Grew up skiing with this kid. Saw him 1080 in 2005 (unreal then), 720 a scooter in 2007 out of a bowl, skateboard flips, wakeboard phenom, just absolutely insane!
I've ridden up from hazard to the snow and at that elevation it's so much harder than it looks. That top part took a super human effort. Way to go Braydon. Epic in every way.
wow, such climbs are what I love most.. you against yourself. I had a track I was trying for 20yrs.. finally made it with age of 52, one winter day, the ground was frozen and snowflakes created a perfect, sticky grip... same mindset, I love you, mate 😊
Damn.. This hits home. I am an x college Pole Vaulter who found mountain biking after graduating and fell in love. I have always been fascinated at how Pole Vaulting attracts a certain person and the commonalities in interest.
I've ridden down the Whole Enchilada four times. Not once could I clean everything, and theres many spots I wouldn't even attempt. Walking a few spots scared me. This is a supreme effort.
I had to pause and comment at 1:09 when you cleared the Snottle… unbelievable dude… I got emotional watching it, god only knows how it made you feel 🤯🤯🤯
What an incredible feat, I'm 82 and this young man's effort, perseverance and dedication taught me a lesson about what it takes to achieve a goal like that if you really want it. My hats off to you, son. There is no doubt that for everyone who watches this, they will find inspiration and hopefully what it takes to accomplish their dream. However, without the support of your Church, family and good friends to have that blessings, I don't think a person can develop the kind of character it takes to do it.
As an aging Belgian mountain biker, I had the opportunity to ride The Whole Enchilada and the Moab slickrock trails in 2011 after biking the Colorado Trail with El Camino Loco, and riding the BCBR race in 2010. The BCBR guys drew my attention to this stupendous ride : many thanks ! I recognized every single inch of it, and this time in exquisite detail. ENORMOUS respect for this awesome biker ! And great thanks to the camera crew ! Fabulous stuff !
The bike riding was very impressive bike riding but Congratulations to the young mother that had the strength to accept all of this with such grace and provide her time and support to family :)
It all began with changing one's mindset. Brandon has some serious skills too. I love this film. In inspires, the line choices, the positive mental attitude, the supportive crew, the wifey, it is simply relatable to our everyday in the life but, hold my beer till I'm done, gotta go climb the whole enchilada first. History has just been made! Amazing accomplishment and entertaining to watch. Thank you!!
Braydon is a huge inspiration for me!!! I mountain bike and have been struggling with school just like him when he was in school. I also share having A.D.D. / A.D.H.D. and the problems that come with it. All I can say is THANK YOU!!!
I am more amazed by the amount of support that you received by your wife and others- This is perhaps the most difficult and epic achievement of cycling I’ve seen. Great job! Great support!!
This film and his attitude transcend bike riding. He’s a legend, a beast, and an insane inspiration to us all with our own hills to climb. Thank you for this film.
Fuckin' A, man, that was impressive! I didn't expect to spend an hour and a half Saturday morning watching CZcams, but here we are. Also, well done on the overall production. Praise to the camera people and Nicole for the excellent direction and editing.
I can relate to this guy. I just started doing Mtb 3 months ago. I’m 34 years old. I’ve been riding with some guys that have been riding for years and they are amazed how quickly I picked it up and how I’m advancing every week rapidly. I’m doing some gnarly technical trails some of them see them as hard and challenging. They are even being pushed by my skills to hit those part of the trails they fear to do. I can only imagine where I will be in a few years.
Insane and very impressive. I’m a 47 year old not very skilled rider but at every steep uphill (for me) I will from now on murmur „holy Braydon“ and try it.
Absolutely amazing, I can't imagine the levels of stress and endurance that everybody went through, friends, families, kids and spouses. That was not something to be marvelled at, it was a feat of human engineering, will and body power but the support in all senses is paramount. Well done Braydon, you have left your kids a legacy that will inspire them and make them eternally proud.
Braydon congrats! This was incredible, I rode WE several times and I would never think that someone would want to climb it. You proved that impossible is possible 🙌🏼
This came at a time in my life when I needed it more than I ever could have imagined! It was inspiring, it was true, and it was unfiltered! Thank you for sharing this story because the lessons I take from this will be a part of my story! You're my Evel Knievel!
Absolutely amazing! The story, the dedication and the will power are inspiring. Braydons shear determination is unfathomable. His wife's dedication to her family and her husband is remarkable. Kudos to momma for holding down the fort and allowing Braydon to fulfill his goal.
Having rode this the 2nd weekend of Oct this year this blows my mind, incredible skill and fitness but even bigger the mental fortitude is the most impressive part of it
Thanks you so much. As an old school guy that knows it was always about the climb, you restore faith in an activity that seems much removed from "going back to make it up!" over, and over, and over again. The roots of what trail riding sprang from are documented here. So fkn epic.
What a fantastic film / Documentary made by amazing people. I only had it on the background whilst I was wrapping Christmas presents in the UK. I don't know who Braydon is all I was aware of is Moab & The Whole Enchilada trail. But from the start if the film I was impressed with his riding style & his life from an early age. What an amazing athlete and person.
Well done, Sir! I’ve done the Ole’ Chilada (that would be the back HALF of the “Whole Enchilada”) and have been on the features that challenged you most. Truly astounding. I didn’t even CONSIDER riding DOWN them… much less UP them. I’m impressed with so many facets of you, this challenge, and your support crew. Well done, indeed. :-)
This is what the mountain biking world needs! Epic adventures, visions made real, dreams conquered! Thank you for this, amazing job by Braydon and the whole crew behind him. By the way, being from Italy, one of my dreams is to ride one day the Whole Enchilada, and when I will be there, I will definetely think about this film and this mad man that climbed it! #VACHEROBA!!!!
I live outside of Durango ,CO. If this film played at some of our local venues it would bring tons of poeple to watch it. Incredibly motivational, jaw dropping, mind boggling how this was accomplished. You have every ounce of my respect but moreso you have made me want to up my game on my riding. Wish you and yours all the best...... thank you for sharing your adventure
Just as he crested the peak, a 65 year old e-biker wearing Wranglers and work boots with no water, finished the same climb. Amazing accomplishment. Beautiful documentary.
I have been looking forward to the release of this film ever since the announcement. It has been an exciting experience being able to watch this and see a display of the potential of the human mind and body. Braydon has inspired me to know and believe the impossible is in fact possible. Seeing Braydon especially overcoming the mental crux of this challenge gives me the drive to push my limits on the bike as well as in life. Thank you for sharing this experience, Braydon.
Amazing accomplishment. I rode down it about 4yrs ago, walked a good portion of the tech. I had my arms raised and tears in my eyes when I saw the burro pass sign. The best part is the friends and family going alongside you for all of that. Congratulations to all involved.
This documentary inspired me in so many ways. As a new mountain biker today I encountered a hill I was struggling with. I attempted it 26 times before getting up it. I thank you for showing the resolve, the attitude surrounding it, and helping make this old man’s day. I kept saying I will get this.
I’ve never been on a mountain bike in my life and this was my first trail ever I can’t believe people can do the trail with this level of speed it took me 7 hours to finish and I was terrified the whole time 😂
This is one of the most amazing and inspiring things. The absolute precision both mentally and physically is immense. And aww inspiring kudos to you and your wife and support crew.
Braydon I don't even know what to say. What an absolutely jaw-dropping feat. Cody was with you the whole way, no doubt. This was so inspiring on so, so many levels. I've descended WE more times than I can count, and while the camera work was stunning and seamless, it still gave NO justice to the sheer size and steepness of some of these features. I still can't comprehend how you got up some of them. Just wow. Mind blown.
I have been racing and riding BMX and Mountain Bikes since the 70's, with all the changes over the years this is one of the most amazing challenges I have seen on a bike. Braydon you blow my mind, this was truly inspirational and motivates me to keep pushing my limits every time I get on my bike!
Half way through your ride I had to get on my Mtn and ride...been riding since 83..I'm 64 now. You can use all the fancy words people say about how to do something...and if that helps so be it..but. the only way you truly live is in the moment. I will never complain about going uphill again...Nice job Braydon...
I've watched a few mountain biking documentaries and this is surely one of the best ones I've come across Such a cool story and it's so inspiring Thanks for this
Thank you! This was not only about riding for me. This was about failure and the mindset to keep going. For years I havent felt need to get back into my head and push me, but the coach and the positive attitude just clicked something.
Goes to show that even the most exceptionell and strong humans needs support. From wives, mentors, friends and so on. And it does not diminish the extreme effort and performance a bit. Amazing piece of film, love it!
This is one of those accomplishments that resets my perspective on so many things. Thank you so much, and massive shout out to the camera crew for the amazing images into the night to keep the story as compelling as it is.
Braydon understandably and deservedly gets most of the praise - but Nicole (his wife) directed and edited. She did a masterful job because the quality of the story is effortless. Her work seems invisible - which is a big part of what makes this movie so brilliant.
Thanks for calling out her talents to our attention. Most impressive.
Well said. Appreciate you sharing this
Woman don't get enough credit
Not only did she do a really great job directing editing, but she also handled all of this while they were moving and she was pregnant, giving birth, and then with a newborn. Total rockstar.
Fan du Maroc bonne continuation
This redefines hard. This film hasn't just inspired me to be a better rider, it's inspired me to be a tougher person. Thank you Braydon
Well said!
very inspiring!
Agree! 🤙🏼
Does it though? When someone’s job, their livelihood, they way they pay for their family is to ride bikes and make videos, and they have spent their entire life able to focus fully on athletic performance, surrounded by the best coaches in all possible fields and sponsored to do this, it is considerably less “hard” or inspiring. Inspiration is when the ordinary creates the extraordinary. It’s a Michelin starred meal made on a camp fire using spam and a bread stick, not fifty chefs having access to the worlds finest ingredients in a specially built climate controlled kitchen.

@@danielray1558 where did you see him, not risking his life? from a climber and mountain biker.
Similar but not quite. Missing a move in Free Solo meant death; Braydon got to try again.
I'd say it's way closer to Tommy Caldwell's Dawn Wall project.
I’m 55. Used to do 24 hr solo Mtb racing along with lots of other extreme sports. I’ve ridden DOWN the Enchilada twice so I know what you accomplished.

I’m sorry man this was a cool accomplishment and I love riding but this is in no comparison to Free Solo and what Alex Honnold did!
Yeah as in its been done, now others will follow and raise the bar
That’s what I was thinking. He’s the Alex Honnald of MTB. Same approach to a project same mental discipline. Blows me away.
Watched the whole thing, the Whole Enchilada, and still working to accept that he did this. 2 hours ago this feat was beyond comprehension. Incredible! A true Mountain Biking Hardman. So inspiring to so many!

I started mountain biking in 1984.5. In North Vancouver. This feels like OG mountain biking ❤❤❤❤So raw.
I remember bombing down Porcupine Rim a few years ago on a single track Litespeed with one inch of rear travel. the bursas in both wrists got all messed up for months from the impact. I passed people going the wrong direction and realized how much of a wimp I was. Excellent work doing this and getting it on film!

The Snotch is scary going down, most people walk it! I cannot imagine climbing up it. This dude is incredible!
Grew up skiing with this kid. Saw him 1080 in 2005 (unreal then), 720 a scooter in 2007 out of a bowl, skateboard flips, wakeboard phenom, just absolutely insane!
24 hrs after the successful completion of this climb, mother nature put this mountain to rest.
.
That's so badass.
Having rode this the "fun" way this past October, I can't imagine... Pure beast, amazing feat of human strength
I've ridden up from hazard to the snow and at that elevation it's so much harder than it looks. That top part took a super human effort. Way to go Braydon. Epic in every way.

same mindset, I love you, mate 😊
This cat is riding wheelies over stuff I am barely able to climb w both wheels in the ground. Blown away.
Damn.. This hits home. I am an x college Pole Vaulter who found mountain biking after graduating and fell in love. I have always been fascinated at how Pole Vaulting attracts a certain person and the commonalities in interest.
I used to pole vault too, it certainly attracts a certain type of person haha.
Man, I don't write comments at all, but I have to say it... this was truly one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen! Just... wow!
I've ridden down the Whole Enchilada four times. Not once could I clean everything, and theres many spots I wouldn't even attempt. Walking a few spots scared me. This is a supreme effort.
I had to pause and comment at 1:09 when you cleared the Snottle… unbelievable dude… I got emotional watching it, god only knows how it made you feel 🤯🤯🤯
It’s always amazing watching guys like Braydon and Alex Honnold achieve what most think is impossible.
What an incredible feat, I'm 82 and this young man's effort, perseverance and dedication taught me a lesson about what it takes to achieve a goal like that if you really want it. My hats off to you, son. There is no doubt that for everyone who watches this, they will find inspiration and hopefully what it takes to accomplish their dream. However, without the support of your Church, family and good friends to have that blessings, I don't think a person can develop the kind of character it takes to do it.
As an aging Belgian mountain biker, I had the opportunity to ride The Whole Enchilada and the Moab slickrock trails in 2011 after biking the Colorado Trail with El Camino Loco, and riding the BCBR race in 2010. The BCBR guys drew my attention to this stupendous ride : many thanks ! I recognized every single inch of it, and this time in exquisite detail. ENORMOUS respect for this awesome biker ! And great thanks to the camera crew !
Fabulous stuff !
The bike riding was very impressive bike riding but Congratulations to the young mother that had the strength to accept all of this with such grace and provide her time and support to family :)
It all began with changing one's mindset. Brandon has some serious skills too. I love this film. In inspires, the line choices, the positive mental attitude, the supportive crew, the wifey, it is simply relatable to our everyday in the life but, hold my beer till I'm done, gotta go climb the whole enchilada first.
History has just been made! Amazing accomplishment and entertaining to watch. Thank you!!
Braydon is a huge inspiration for me!!! I mountain bike and have been struggling with school just like him when he was in school. I also share having A.D.D. / A.D.H.D. and the problems that come with it. All I can say is THANK YOU!!!
I am more amazed by the amount of support that you received by your wife and others- This is perhaps the most difficult and epic achievement of cycling I’ve seen. Great job! Great support!!
CGI on this film was really good, made it look super real. Congrats to the computer animators on a job well done.
This film and his attitude transcend bike riding. He’s a legend, a beast, and an insane inspiration to us all with our own hills to climb. Thank you for this film.
Fuckin' A, man, that was impressive! I didn't expect to spend an hour and a half Saturday morning watching CZcams, but here we are. Also, well done on the overall production. Praise to the camera people and Nicole for the excellent direction and editing.
I can relate to this guy. I just started doing Mtb 3 months ago. I’m 34 years old. I’ve been riding with some guys that have been riding for years and they are amazed how quickly I picked it up and how I’m advancing every week rapidly. I’m doing some gnarly technical trails some of them see them as hard and challenging. They are even being pushed by my skills to hit those part of the trails they fear to do. I can only imagine where I will be in a few years.
Didn’t expect this to be so inspiring and That place is amazingly beautiful
Insane and very impressive. I’m a 47 year old not very skilled rider but at every steep uphill (for me) I will from now on murmur „holy Braydon“ and try it.
Absolutely amazing, I can't imagine the levels of stress and endurance that everybody went through, friends, families, kids and spouses. That was not something to be marvelled at, it was a feat of human engineering, will and body power but the support in all senses is paramount. Well done Braydon, you have left your kids a legacy that will inspire them and make them eternally proud.
Braydon congrats! This was incredible, I rode WE several times and I would never think that someone would want to climb it. You proved that impossible is possible 🙌🏼
💯THIS IS E.P.I.C. 💯
This came at a time in my life when I needed it more than I ever could have imagined! It was inspiring, it was true, and it was unfiltered! Thank you for sharing this story because the lessons I take from this will be a part of my story! You're my Evel Knievel!
Absolutely amazing! The story, the dedication and the will power are inspiring. Braydons shear determination is unfathomable. His wife's dedication to her family and her husband is remarkable. Kudos to momma for holding down the fort and allowing Braydon to fulfill his goal.
My legs hurt after watching this. You are a legend.
Braydon's climbing ability is just amazing. His balance, strength and fearless attitude is so inspiring.
Having rode this the 2nd weekend of Oct this year this blows my mind, incredible skill and fitness but even bigger the mental fortitude is the most impressive part of it
Man, it took me less than 5 minutes to recognize the production quality of this film.
Thanks you so much. As an old school guy that knows it was always about the climb, you restore faith in an activity that seems much removed from "going back to make it up!" over, and over, and over again. The roots of what trail riding sprang from are documented here. So fkn epic.
Great work from his wife and him. Also he is the undoubtably the ultimate GOAT!! 💯💯💯
What a fantastic film / Documentary made by amazing people. I only had it on the background whilst I was wrapping Christmas presents in the UK. I don't know who Braydon is all I was aware of is Moab & The Whole Enchilada trail. But from the start if the film I was impressed with his riding style & his life from an early age. What an amazing athlete and person.
Well done, Sir! I’ve done the Ole’ Chilada (that would be the back HALF of the “Whole Enchilada”) and have been on the features that challenged you most. Truly astounding. I didn’t even CONSIDER riding DOWN them… much less UP them. I’m impressed with so many facets of you, this challenge, and your support crew. Well done, indeed. :-)
This is what the mountain biking world needs! Epic adventures, visions made real, dreams conquered! Thank you for this, amazing job by Braydon and the whole crew behind him. By the way, being from Italy, one of my dreams is to ride one day the Whole Enchilada, and when I will be there, I will definetely think about this film and this mad man that climbed it! #VACHEROBA!!!!
Very well said.
I'll trade you a ride at Lago di Garda for a ride in Moab?
Fair trade?
@@dudeonbike800 ah ah absolutely! 😆👍🏻
@@claudioriotti-riotmtbexp 👍👍👍
Amazing video! So glad you could work with Greg he is the best! Used to work with him and ride with him, he’s the man!!
Braydon is awesome!
Kudos to wifey too for being an anchor and help him with the emotional and psychological help/boost/support.
This is incredible. Its the best thing I've seen in a very long time. Huge congratulations to everyone involved!
I live outside of Durango ,CO. If this film played at some of our local venues it would bring tons of poeple to watch it. Incredibly motivational, jaw dropping, mind boggling how this was accomplished. You have every ounce of my respect but moreso you have made me want to up my game on my riding. Wish you and yours all the best...... thank you for sharing your adventure
Spirit of bikes right there. Analog for life 💪
Just as he crested the peak, a 65 year old e-biker wearing Wranglers and work boots with no water, finished the same climb.
Amazing accomplishment. Beautiful documentary.
I have been looking forward to the release of this film ever since the announcement. It has been an exciting experience being able to watch this and see a display of the potential of the human mind and body. Braydon has inspired me to know and believe the impossible is in fact possible. Seeing Braydon especially overcoming the mental crux of this challenge gives me the drive to push my limits on the bike as well as in life. Thank you for sharing this experience, Braydon.
Amazing accomplishment. I rode down it about 4yrs ago, walked a good portion of the tech. I had my arms raised and tears in my eyes when I saw the burro pass sign. The best part is the friends and family going alongside you for all of that. Congratulations to all involved.
This documentary inspired me in so many ways. As a new mountain biker today I encountered a hill I was struggling with. I attempted it 26 times before getting up it. I thank you for showing the resolve, the attitude surrounding it, and helping make this old man’s day. I kept saying I will get this.
Great to hear Mat. 💯
I’ve never been on a mountain bike in my life and this was my first trail ever I can’t believe people can do the trail with this level of speed it took me 7 hours to finish and I was terrified the whole time 😂
Congratulations on an epic adventure! You and your wife are an incredible team. Incredible for you guys to open your home and lives to the world 👊
This is one of the most amazing and inspiring things. The absolute precision both mentally and physically is immense. And aww inspiring kudos to you and your wife and support crew.
This just doesn't seem possible to me - yet you did it! Truly inspiring Braydon!
What an absolute achievement. The man is clearly operating at his zenith.
Braydon I don't even know what to say. What an absolutely jaw-dropping feat. Cody was with you the whole way, no doubt. This was so inspiring on so, so many levels. I've descended WE more times than I can count, and while the camera work was stunning and seamless, it still gave NO justice to the sheer size and steepness of some of these features. I still can't comprehend how you got up some of them. Just wow. Mind blown.
I have been racing and riding BMX and Mountain Bikes since the 70's, with all the changes over the years this is one of the most amazing challenges I have seen on a bike. Braydon you blow my mind, this was truly inspirational and motivates me to keep pushing my limits every time I get on my bike!
Amazing job! And amazing to have Greg run all the way behind you!
Half way through your ride I had to get on my Mtn and ride...been riding since 83..I'm 64 now. You can use all the fancy words people say about how to do something...and if that helps so be it..but. the only way you truly live is in the moment. I will never complain about going uphill again...Nice job Braydon...
So awesome!! Thanks for taking us on the journey and telling such a great story! And major props to your wife and family!
I've watched a few mountain biking documentaries and this is surely one of the best ones I've come across
Such a cool story and it's so inspiring
Thanks for this
Thank you! This was not only about riding for me. This was about failure and the mindset to keep going. For years I havent felt need to get back into my head and push me, but the coach and the positive attitude just clicked something.
Thanks Braydon. You are a true inspiration to the human race. 👍🏻
What a humble, blessed and inspiring person! This is so much more impressive than all the "big jumps" videos out there. Thank you.
He obviously didn’t complete the first climb
Absolutely incredible effort by Braydon and his whole team!!
Literally one of the most inspiring things I have ever watched. Amazing job and congratulations on your success!!
Goes to show that even the most exceptionell and strong humans needs support. From wives, mentors, friends and so on. And it does not diminish the extreme effort and performance a bit. Amazing piece of film, love it!
This is one of those accomplishments that resets my perspective on so many things. Thank you so much, and massive shout out to the camera crew for the amazing images into the night to keep the story as compelling as it is.
I managed once to fall off my Canyon Spectral while riding up a curb, just sayin
Absolutely the most amazing sportsman in my eyes! What a true legend!!!!
I had to watch this again for the second time and it is completely motivating with my broken collarbone🤣 Awesome story!
