8600 FT and Unrealistic: Fear and Getting Older
Find 1.5 hours of time and escape into the unthinkable. I lifted this directly from the You Tube URL for 8600 FT:
Watch Braydon Bringhurst’s feature-length film “8600FT”, documenting his climb of the iconic "Whole Enchilada'' trail in Moab, Utah. “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. But no one has ever tried to ride up every inch of the trail – until now. Equally mentally challenging as physical, “8600FT” is a 1.5-hour feature-length film of Braydon Bringhurst’s attempt to summit "The Whole Enchilada."
This one is much shorter. It spoke to me, as I’m moving into this age group .. I mean, ugh, I’m there!
Cheers, everyone!
Saw 8600 last month at the La Paloma in Encinitas. Did TWE three times but did not have the balls to ride the Snotch. Braydon is an animal! Like you James I totally relate to the Fear and getting older, especially since I have 20 years on those guys. What are they worried about they are still young! Tom C. is having a BBQ at his place for his 65th, you need to come.
