Join us in-store for a screening of Patagonia Films' Without a Doubt featuring 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? Likely. But that uncertainty is where Braydon thrives, and each failure is just another piece of the larger process. And for Braydon, that’s where the joy lies. Following the film, stick around for a Q&A with Braydon.
Braydon Bringhurst (@braydonbringhurst) puts the “down” in “up” … or maybe it’s the “up” in “down”. The Boise-based rider’s explosive style defies directions and disciplines, and he’s as smooth boosting off natural rock features as he is hopping up them. The father of three is also incredibly kind and humble, a perfect combo for coaching local kids, hosting events like the Boise Mountain Bike Festival and running his Hard MTB League.
Making it look so easy, however, takes a lot of hard work. Braydon’s dedication is superhuman (his background includes national victories in BMX racing, a national championship for freeskiing, an All-American status in collegiate pole vault and an MBA degree), and he puts in countless hours of mental and physical training long before he ever rides a line.
