  • I finally got to ride Hiline! This is one of the premier double black diamond trails in Sedona. It is a MUST RIDE! I would consider myself an advanced intermediate rider, with just enough common sense (barely) not to get hurt on a trail like this. This trail is COMPLETELY rideable for a solid intermediate rider, and it is so fun to see what you are able to make it down. The sections that I had to walk and HAB were easily 'walkable' even with bike shoes and I could ride 95% of this entire loop. I started at Yavapai Vista Parking Lot and took Coconino Trail to Slim Shady North to get onto Hiline. From here, it's an amazing trail with crazy cliffs and views. Completely rideable and fun for an advanced intermediate mountain bike rider! Then I got onto Baldwin to get to Templeton up and around the Cathedral Vortex. Hiking the bike up one climb in Templeton is the 'worst' part of the entire loop, but honestly its not that bad. I loved mountain biking these trails and I recommend this 8 mile loop with 1000 ft of elevation gain. #bikerchick #lovebike #sedona #mountainbike #vortex #hiline #mountainbiking #vegan #plantbased #plantpower #cliff #trail #bikes #views #reddirt #santacruzbicycles #mountain

    The type of trails you tend to ride really wear tires out much more quickly. I heard the assegai is a little thicker rubber and a little heavier. Good choice for your trails!

      @Sara.Jo.  Před 4 měsíci

      @@AlexeiPavlovI cut out places where I didn’t walk as well. I try to keep my videos around the 30 min mark, this one is almost 40 min. Walking extends the length of the videos greatly, it’s slow going walking your bike. 🤷‍♀️ if I kept the camera rolling the entire ride it would have been over and hour and half long video.

    Sweet ride🎉 Just watched The Cottonwood video last night. Thanks for sharing feelings on the troll. That was great. I've destroyed a few bikes and body parts, monster trucking steep tech, and to me, it's just not that much fun. You're a great rider. All your rides look fun, AF. You are definitely not an intermediate climber👊

    if you want to become a better rider and clear highline tough sections, you need to switch to flat pedals and start doing some exercise such as Ryan Leach connection or the super rider channel on CZcams. If you keep riding clipped in you will not progress as much.
