Climbing the Whole Enchilada - anyone watch this?

[CS]

Pretty dang good vid.

Highly recommend.

And I cannot remotely comprehend pulling this off.

[Bushwacka]

crazy climb.

I give 5k to anyone who can do it on flats.

[evasive_MT]

I saw the trailer a while back, and stumbled across the full-length film last night. It was worth the time.

[toast2266]

Every time I ride down that trail, I bitch about how much fucking climbing it has. So I guess if you ride it in the other direction, it probably has a lot of sweet descents.

But yeah. That's completely ridiculous. I can't even fathom riding up a few of those sections. And it's considerably more impressive that he "rode" it, as opposed to doing a bunch of hoppy trialsy maneuvers.

Over two thirds in.
And it’s backstory.

Fuck “influencers”
Fuck clickbait.

I started watching...then noticed the timer. I thought: It's cool and all, but why'd they make this and hour and a half???

[MakersTeleMark]

On a related note, anyone notice Alex's traverse of the Red Rock Canyon? I've spent many years climbing and camping there. Many.

That is beyond nuts. Way beyond. Like far. I am hesitant to even predict the end. I've met him a couple of times. I still grapple with his personality as a human, just understanding it and why.

[mtnjam]

Good watch. Cool to see a pro rider from Boise pulling off a major feat. Just riding in Boise is training enough for climbing that trail.

Still wouldn't buy a Canyon bike though.

Yeah, fuck those people doing what they love, getting people stoked on riding bikes and pushing their limits. Braydon is literally the nicest guy I’ve ever met, and mountain biking couldn’t ask for a better spokesperson to get people into the sport.

Did someone prop your eyelids open Clockwork Orange-style and force you to watch it?

[buttahflake]

Climbing steep, technical terrain and doing it dab-free is way underrated. Haven’t watched it yet, does he clean it? Love uphillers!

Edit: I skimmed it, he didn’t flash it, but he did clean some fucking outrageous sections.
Good stuff

[t.odd]

pretty impressive riding for sure, and crazy determination! A bit more backstory than I needed but was not a bad watch at all overall.

[skaredshtles]

I accidentally climbed Porc Rim the first time I went to Moab.

Do not recommend.

Me to. Although I walked many of the features he cleaned.

I don't remember it much... but it sure has gotten more gnarly over the last 30 years.

[tellybele]

Yeah, back in the early/mid 90s, climbing Porc was the way. A lot of fun working certain lines. Although, the bottom was a bit of walk-a-bike in those initial sloped boulder fields. A good warm-up for Pritchett back then.

[joetron]

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
It’s an absolutely bonkers thing to pull off. He rides every section, does not walk up anything and doesn’t do any hippity hoppity bullshit.
The Snotch segments are really impressive.
Some cheesy moments, but for anyone familiar with TWE, I think it’s a worthwhile watch.

This is my general takeaway as well.


The one thing that caught my eye was that I THINK he had OEM Maxxis tires on his bike. I would assume with a few of those moves some maxgripp 3C would be the move.

Anyhow, that is beyond comprehension for me. Any ONE of those moves is impressive. All of them, over that mileage in one day... damn.

[roverdoc]

What a feat. Awesome documentary and I think the backstory is important to see what kinda guy gets motivated to do this. He must have climbed 10-11k with all the efforts to clear some spots. Unreal

Yes. Toooooo loooonnnnggggg

Wtf peeps.
Get to the point.

It’s an hour and a Fucking half.

Wayyyyy too much.

I would have liked to watch that climb.
The dude kills it.
But dayyyyum. Wtf.

Yeah, fuck those people doing what they love, getting people stoked on riding bikes and pushing their limits. Braydon is literally the nicest guy I’ve ever met, and mountain biking couldn’t ask for a better spokesperson to get people into the sport.

No. I fortunately had the ability to shut it off.

I’m ok with the dude. And his achievements.
But wtf. Can you even watch that?
I can’t.
Please. Edit better.

[evdog]

Yeah I agree the backstory was interesting since I'd never heard of him before. Could have done with less of the interview footage later on, but whatever.

Amazing effort. I've blown myself up more times than I can count trying to climb technical singletrack as part of a big ride. But nothing even close to this level of difficulty, and I wasn't attempting any move 10 times nevermind 30 or 50. To then be able to climb all the steep stuff going up Burro is almost as impressive as the tech moves below.

Do they go over how he did it without getting constantly bombarded by downhill traffic?
Spotters?

Who cares? Downhill should have the right of way.

[plugboots]

Agree. Way too long. I kept skipping ahead and would see his pregnant wife or something.
Who cares about your fat wife in a mtn bike video?

Oh, you will get no argument from me on that trail!
Just curious, because EVERYONE else on that trail wouldn’t be expecting it.

Timing is everything. This Wednesday I did a practice and full lap on slick rock seeing two e-bikes and then on ahab I saw 1 rider. A little windy, but amazed how few people
