I've found warmer weather and east coast friends in Sedona, AZ where we are heading out to ride one of the most treacherous trails called The Hogs. Along this trail is the infamous White Line, and after heading up to look at it I have some thoughts about risk vs reward in mountain biking...

I like that you don’t have a new bike every year, makes me feel like your still in touch with reality of most mountain bikers.

@jeepdude67 Год назад

you said it. I rode my Stumpy for almost 6 years before buying my Niner three years ago. No plans on buying a new bike at all, just changing out components. As long as the frame is solid, why bother?

@ryangregohara Год назад

Ya. That’s kind of annoying about YTbers like Loam Ranger…every episode is a new bike or camera or kit…it’s unrealistic and just fanning the flames of consumerism.

The Singletrack Sampler is now a "pro climb" channel. Incredible.

@The_Sampler Год назад

I was absolutely feeling the climbing this day. I just accepted that it was going to hurt and went for it!!

@mikewinn9925 Год назад

I have been a long time subscriber and I never get tired of your videos and thank you for the inspiration to get back on the bike

@The_Sampler Год назад

Really appreciate that Mike, thanks for watching!

@tommyclark9077 Год назад

Man, I am so happy that you are back, doing well and making videos. And, this content is my favorite. You being you and riding your bike make the best videos. Keep riding my friend and I hope to share some trail with you some day.

@davidgrammerstorf9433 Год назад

I appreciate these videos of your adventures so much. 98% of my riding has been in the Northeast. Getting to see terrain that's so foreign-looking to my eyes is a treat. I need to get out there to ride some day. Good stuff Alex!

@Wizler71 Год назад

I'm glad you're back in action and having fun again after last year! Sedona is a cool place all around.

@snowman22ism Год назад

Absolutely love these long videos. Keep them coming.

@unSTEVOED Год назад

The trails you guys have over there look so sick, I need to get the US one day

@1xbikes Год назад

Your videos are the reason that I started riding and posting videos on RU-vid again. I was impressed by the way you went along with your riding buddies, to not ride The White Line. Sometimes, we've just got to go with the flow. The rest of the trail looks amazing, it was good to see everyone enjoying themselves.

@walterottenhoff8003 Год назад

Sedona is beautiful. And yes I think it's the vortexes that make the mileage different. Congrats on you guys, 17 miles is an ambitious ride, speshully with all that sessioning. Looking forward to your next. Thanks.

@Friskee62 Год назад

I have been watching you now for a few years...always entertaining, Alex...

@justinmtbokchearon3350 Год назад

@smv9338 Год назад

Some of the techy climbs you slayed looked really tough - great job!

@LoamerMTB Год назад

Stoked you are posting raw riding videos again on the reg. Been here since the beginning and this is my favorite stuff. So rad! Heading to Sedona in March. This is getting me pumped! Keep enjoying life my dude. 🤘

Hell yea dude, thank you man!!

@The_Sampler Год назад

Thanks! 😁 🤘

@JuanWay2Rock Год назад

I like how you and your friends KNEW YOUR LIMITS when it came to whether or not you were gonna be riding the legendary WHITE LINE. It's not an EGO TRIP, and you have nothing to prove...it's all about having fun with your friends and making the most of it. This was one fun video to watch Alex. And the views were spectacular. Thank you for another great RU-vid video.

@mc540flip Год назад

Man I need to get up there to Shred the Red! Great ride Alex🤘

@garyharmon5386 Год назад

Glad you have recovered and back riding. Great video and great riding by you and your friends. I hope one day to make it to Sedona. from south Georgia. No way would I try to ride the White Line. Pedal safe

@ridingwithreggie Год назад

I like the fact you don't give up at 22:00. All you needed was that one more try to clean that climb.

@mountainsmoore3657 Год назад

Yeah...that was cool to watch, but at my age, i never expect my mountain biking to progress anywhere near that level. LOL! Enh=joyed seeing though! Thanks for sharing!

@petedog9581 Год назад

You are killing it out west w 27.5 wheels. That is impressive. Out west I can only ride 29 on that chunk. Great riding.

@stevenpeyton7476 Год назад

I've never cleaned that climbing section on Little Horse...bravo!

@xColter 7 месяцев назад

The huck to flat at 2:52 is so fun to ride!

@SethJayson Год назад

Wish I could ride MTB more. Trail running in Sedona was the thing I could do, and it's great. Once you get half a mile from the trailheads, you can go hours without seeing more than a couple peope -- even during spring break.

@gregstevens2917 Год назад

Smashing those climbs...nice work! And yea, hard pass on the White Line. You said it, the fun/danger ratio is just way out of whack...no thanks. Great video, you were in Beast Mode!

@NorCalMtnBiker86 Год назад

@JimmyRadloff Год назад

I'm about due for a Sedona mtb trip. I live less than two hours away from there. We always have fun when we ride there. The hog trails are sick. Sedona miles are definitely harder than most other places. Gotta hit Hiline next time I'm up there.

@LEGENDofBEANY Год назад

You’re not wrong about that! Lol coming from Utah, Sedona kicked my booty. And Hiline was rad… and scary lol

@JimmyRadloff Год назад

That Slim Shady Pemberton loop is really fun too

@kellyfulton9238 Год назад

Nicely done

@RomansDowntime Год назад

I really do respect that risk to fun ratio. I'm the same way riding for fun and not to compete. It just doesn't make sense to try something so far outside your comfort zone and risk so much.

@stephanjohnston397 Год назад

New viewer here but And have binged all of your videos now. Thank you !

Welcome to the channel Stephen! Glad you are enjoying it my man, many more adventures on the way!

@The_Sampler Год назад

Alright, be honest... if you had the opportunity, are you going for it on the white line?

@alanwrobleski Год назад

After 30+ years in AZ I've still never ridden a single Sedona trail... so in the event I find myself in the area it is highly doubtful I'll have the balls to go anywhere near it

@DrumguyCiv Год назад

Nope. I want to live!

@MaskanRill Год назад

@RFVCXR200R Год назад

I know it sounds silly, but my favorite bike trick is the manual. Therefore I like watching your videos because you tend to manual a lot.

Love all those trails! Need to get back up there! What happened at the pizza shops? Famous Pizza & Beer is pretty yummy.

You gotta do the white line but with clipless pedals, no flats! Maybe Brian can tow you in 😜

I just got bAck from Sedona a few weeks ago. So fun. So scary lol nice bro!

@anthonyscuderi9931 Год назад

It may be about a 3.5 hour drive but you should check out Hawes trail system if you are still in Arizona

@The_Sampler Год назад

You are the second person to mention this place; I need to check it out!

Hawes is definitely worth the trip while in AZ.

@jacobhamm5471 Год назад

Nah. If I’m doing exposure, it better be a blast of a trail like portal in Moab. The white line is just a dare trail without the payoff. But it’s cool people do it I suppose.

@rmsnwbrdr Год назад

Dude... 2 things... 1. Chain lube. Use it, live it, love it. And your drivetrain will love you back. }B^) 2. Your laugh is INFECTIOUS. Probably makes your videos 60% better when you laugh a lot. Not kidding. It totally proves your stoke level.

@jonshook7407 Год назад

Nice ride! I do have a random question, have you ever tried fat biking in snow? I don't think I've ever seen you do a winter activity :)

@greenmindmtb7653 Год назад

Chain issues are unacceptable given the trails you ride😉 I know you're not a dentist....are you...? But it might be time for a Yeti😉 SB140...Nate just did a build vid and I'm sure that whip would work for some Samplin' Lovin' the content 🤘🤘🤘 Shame on BOBO...lmao!!!!

@jettruth Год назад

I’d take more risk if it was just me but I have kids that come first. I ride within a comfortable zone and move that bar up at a healthy rate.

@Eric.V. Год назад

You must have borrowed some of Brian’s climbing mojo for this ride 😎

@The_Sampler Год назад

Right?!! I was feeling it 💪

@norquay626 Год назад

Oh dude...I am so with you on this, haha. I'm into alot of risk, but it's calculated, especially when it comes to skiing, but this...no, no, no. My mountain biking is limited to "trail" riding

@Ianmathews131 Год назад

@howtobehuman969 Год назад

We were just there a week or 2 ago. Looked at it… will probably never do it. Risk is not worth the reward.

@ronniek.7331 Год назад

Hey Alex just curious, was wondering what you’re currently riding?

@RFVCXR200R Год назад

28:29 Bobo is that you?

@Bixbysayshi Год назад

I know the Delano peak uses 148 boost on the rear, is your chainline 55mm by chance? if it is, that may be why you're experiencing the chain drops and breakages? Maybe try going down to a 52mm chainline and see if that allows you to backpedal with less consequence in the lowest gear. I ran into that problem building my last bike. the previous year used a 52mm, but this years uses a 55mm, and so I went with the 55mm because like... if the manufacturer is going that way shouldn't I? And I was dropping chains backpedaling to dyno stuff in the lowest gear like it was going out of style. so I swapped by BB spacers to make it a 52mm chainline and I've been fine ever since! Maybe worth looking into?
