  • The White Rim Trail is a 100 mile jeep road that cuts through some of the most scenic parts of Canyonlands National Park. We decided to do the loop counter clockwise and start at the entrance for the park. It was Christofs birthday wish to ride this loop otherwise I probably never would have done it. I'm glad I did. I'm even more glad I did it on a day when the temperatures were peaking at 80. These 100 miles expose the rider to a lot of desert views as the trail runs along the Green and Colorado river. Candle stick tower, Junction bluff, Washerwoman and Airport tower will forever be seared in my mind as we slowly road around these name worthy landmarks on the sand and sandstone trails that make up The White Rim.

    "the views of the desert don't really translate to video"
    -proceeds to show breathtaking view

      It's true though, nothing compares to standing there at the edge, or looking up from the floor. It's incredibly vast

    When you post a new vid I stop whatever I am doing and watch. Happy birthday.

    Danny, that busted spoke was karma for not really wanting to do the trip on Christoph's birthday. Great effort guys.

    Hilarious! Total role reversal this time around. Danny frets and Christof is the driving (riding) force! NOT boring by the way....love biking Canyonlands! Happy Birthday C!

    Sometimes Danny's apprehension, tears and suffering are half the enjoyment of these videos. Still very good videography Danny. Happy Birthday to the legend.

  • @jeremyquiros5483
    @jeremyquiros5483 Před rokem +4

    Christof talking about Danny in the third person while Danny is filming him is really funny. Christof revealing Danny has a broken spoke while Danny is filming him is just hilarious.

    I was having a terrible day at work today. And then Cristof said “May 24th, the day of of my birth and of Ecuadorian independence”. All of a sudden, it was okay.

    I dirt bike out that way a bunch. It’s super fun to bring the peddlers extra water. The look on their faces as I hand treats/cold drinks over is pretty satisfying.

    @CampfireTalk Před 3 lety +27

    "I ran out of water at the bottom of that last hill, so that worked out great"
    Wouldn't be a MA video if there was water left over.
    Happy Birthday Christof!
    I'll show up to the party next year when helicopters are involved.

    Fun ride. I remember I got to skip school and do this ride over 3 days with my dad and some of his buddies when I was 10. It was a blast, even on a 20 incher haha. Thanks for sharing.

  • @ninemilliondollars
    @ninemilliondollars Před 2 lety +1

    I've ridden a mountain bike for decades in the Midwest-Illinois area doing 100+ for fun. But also have ridden many miles in Moab. One of the best things about Canyonlands and the White Rim Trail is the scenery and solitude - something not found out my way. It also gives you an appreciation for all you have.

    you guys are beasts! i've done this three times in recent years. i've never been able to climb the switchbacks out of there.
    i would advise anyone to start early (pre dawn) and go ccw. the darkness and shadow from the "island in the sky" will keep the sun away for a good part of the day.

    Rode this on my KTM a few weeks ago :-). A fair number of MTBs at the time, many with support vehicles, so impressive to do without that. And yes, don't try this when its hot or you will suffer & die.

    This really makes me want to get into mountain biking and one day do the White Rim loop on my bucket list. So many backpacking trips planned for this summer here in Colorado, Northeast Utah and Wyoming.
    I guess this might be a goal I could work up to it in a year or so. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

    Happy Birthday Christof, glad Danny managed to deal with having type I (rather than II) fun for your b'day outing! Imagine: nobody vomited, got benighted, met a bear, ate "gas station" food or got cliffed up :D I only wish there'd been a cafe/restaurant where Christof could've got a beer and a sandwich and laughed while Danny got frustrated by the painstakingly slow service...THAT would've been the perfect birthday present!

    HBD Christoph❗️,Firstly if a broken spoke is cause enough to ruin a wheel, you’re running the wrong wheel❗️Secondly if you’re not great friends with a bike mechanic who is capable of truing a fubar’d wheel then yes riding can be quite costly.

    • @cnuila

      a little melodramatic for sure but with Cannondale asymmetric dished carbon fiber wheels etc. Danny just starts dreaming up worst case scenarios naturally, lol
