My First Film Project!

This week, my two-year narrative project went live: a 90-minute documentary film and a feature story in Bicycling magazine (a 23-minute read). The film has had 125,000 views in the first three days, and filmmaker Braydon Bringhurst is hearing a tremendous and meaningful response.

What’s it about? Braydon Bringhurst’s attempt to climb the Whole Enchilada, an iconic downhill trail in Moab, Utah. Basically the Dawn Wall of mountain biking.

Why care? It’s exciting to watch someone attempt something that has never been done, something that many considered impossible. Plus, you’ll learn some sports psychology and Jedi mind tricks that apply well beyond sports, to any hard thing you might be facing in life.

Giving back! Four theater screenings sold out in four cities, and Braydon donated 100% of the ticket sales to a local MTB trail organization. He’s raffling off a $6,300 Canyon Spectral 29 mountain bike to raise funds for a mental-health crisis hotline. Click here to donate and win.

Thanks for supporting my work by reading, watching, and sharing. Without readers and viewers, none of this matters.
