Braydon Bringhurst

In May of 2026, Braydon Bringhurst stood at the bottom of Gouranga, an iconic double-black-diamond descent in Squamish, British Columbia. The trail is steep, technical and high consequence, and will give even experienced riders jitters. But Braydon wasn’t there just to ride down Gouranga. He’d done that already, many times. This time, he was there to ride up it. Impossible?

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 8000-plus feet of descending over rugged and raw terrain littered with rock drops and boulder fields. Most people enjoy the challenging descent. But no one has ever tried to ride up every inch of the trail – until now. Braydon Bringhurst’s attempt to summit The Whole Enchilada is every bit as mentally challenging as it is physical.
