CARLSBAD, SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 | EMBARGO UNTIL SEPT. 21, 2022, 8AM (PST) — No one has ever tried to ride up every inch of mountain biking’s iconic “Whole Enchilada” trail—and for good reason. The 8000-plus-vertical-foot trail covers some of the most raw and rugged terrain in Moab, Utah, and for most riders, is exclusively ridden downhill. The upcoming 1.5-hour feature-length film “8600FT” documents Braydon Bringhurst’s attempt to conquer previously-unridden sections and be the first to summit “The Whole Enchilada.” The film launches in October with a month of exclusive pre-release screenings in Moab, Colorado Springs, Boise, and Encinitas, followed by a global digital release on November 2nd.
Bringhurst has been preparing for this epic feat his entire life, albeit unknowingly. The mental fortitude and physical skillset required for success were honed by a lifetime of competitive sports, collegiate athletics and academia–while his recent journey into fatherhood has helped to calm his spirit. The film chronicles the build to this monumental endeavor, which proved to be just as mentally challenging as it was physical.
As producer and main subject of this film, Bringhurst shares his tactics for tackling the unknown, and aims for viewers to identify with the processes shown to achieve their own success, happiness and personal fulfillment in all facets of life.
