American Braydon Bringhurst is a multi-talented athlete. At the age of seven, he did his first laps on a mountain bike, rode BMX races and became a multiple US champion. In winter, he won the same titles in freeskiing and practised athletics in the off-seasons, where Bringhurst soon celebrated success in the pole vault. It was not until 2016 that the now 33-year-old got back on his mountain bike - a modern trail bike. Intrigued by the possibilities, he began to try new things, such as riding up supposedly unrideable climbs. His videos of these became successes and the incredible mountain bike climbs became Bringhurst's trademark.

Riding uphill sections that are already technically demanding downhill requires tremendous riding technique but also a lot of power in the legs, or rather a high degree of functional mobility. Bringhurst has this and wants to master the 43-kilometre descent, the legendary "The Whole Enchilada Trail" upside down, from the Colorado River over 2,400 meters up to Burro Pass in the La Sal Mountains. His attempt can be described as a mentally extremely challenging day tour on very demanding single trails uphill, which includes countless intermediate sprints and many trial passages - completely crazy, but also doable?
