I Found my Limit at Sedona's White Line
VloĆŸit

- 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 donât have a new bike every year, makes me feel like your still in touch with reality of most mountain bikers.
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?
Ya. Thatâs kind of annoying about YTbers like Loam RangerâŠevery episode is a new bike or camera or kitâŠitâs unrealistic and just fanning the flames of consumerism.
The Singletrack Sampler is now a "pro climb" channel. Incredible.
I was absolutely feeling the climbing this day. I just accepted that it was going to hurt and went for it!!
He loves to pedal
Spending too much time around Brian lol đ
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
Really appreciate that Mike, thanks for watching!
The trails you guys have over there look so sick, I need to get the US one day
Absolutely love these long videos. Keep them coming.
I'm glad you're back in action and having fun again after last year! Sedona is a cool place all around.
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.
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!
Your videos are the reason that I started riding and posting videos on CZcams 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.
I have been watching you now for a few years...always entertaining, Alex...
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.
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. đ€
Hell yea dude, thank you man!!
10:44 those brakes!!!! Another great video Alex.
Some of the techy climbs you slayed looked really tough - great job!
Strong riding man! Sedona looks sick and itâs definitely on my bucket list rides.
Always motivated after watching these.
Sick trails and awesome riding Mr. Sampler.
Great video! Lots of great riding!
Wow đł. Don't know what else to say. Wow. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Great stuff always enjoy your uploads âŠ..keep them coming đđ”đ»
One of my favorite loops in Sed Az. Nice riding Alex, Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays my dude!
Man the footage doesnât do Sedona justice. That place is so beautiful. Some of the best riding in the country too.
That was a excellent video really enjoyed that looked super cool
Man those trails gave me some serious desires to get out to Sedona! It just looks amazing!
Great video and amazing climbs!!!
Great video dude!
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 CZcams video.
I like the fact you don't give up at 22:00. All you needed was that one more try to clean that climb.
Awesome video like always u were climbing like a beastđđ€
Thanks! đ đ€
Making those techie climbs is so rewarding. Awesome job.
Man I need to get up there to Shred the Red! Great ride Alexđ€
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
The huck to flat at 2:52 is so fun to ride!
I've never cleaned that climbing section on Little Horse...bravo!
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.
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.
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!
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!
Awesome video , bro!!!!!! đđđđđ€
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.
Youâre not wrong about that! Lol coming from Utah, Sedona kicked my booty. And Hiline was rad⊠and scary lol
That Slim Shady Pemberton loop is really fun too
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!
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.
What a sweet lookin ride!
Epik awesome trail đ€đ
Nice riding!
Nicely done
Love all those trails! Need to get back up there! What happened at the pizza shops? Famous Pizza & Beer is pretty yummy.
Love the Hogs!
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.
Nice work at 10:30. That's not easy!
Well done on that spot you didnât make near the end! đ»
You gotta do the white line but with clipless pedals, no flats!
Maybe Brian can tow you in đ
Just watching this made me feel tired. What a trip!
This cold Sunday just got a whole lot better!
Next time iâm in Sedona Iâm gonna crank my hog for sure!
First comment! I win, or something. I looooove Sedona, absolutely beautiful there. I'm glad you had a good time man. "I'm super casually freaking out." Awesome.
way to go back and clean that climb up!
Alright, be honest... if you had the opportunity, are you going for it on the white line?
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
Nope. I want to live!
Hell no lol
Nah , when the consequence of a feature is death I donât do it.
I wonder if you would have done it if Seth was with you ?
"I ride for fun" that's the best reason to ride.
In ride that trail last monthâŠmight have been there the same time!
Super cool dude! i would love to see you in our italian trails đ„°
Omg me too man, me too
@@The_Sampler hit me up if you do this! would love to show you the italian beauty
15:37 that root is taking names. đ Not a chance I will ever ride the white line. Nope.
Haha of course the Asheville folks have Green boats on their roof!
đ€©đ€đ„
It may be about a 3.5 hour drive but you should check out Hawes trail system if you are still in Arizona
You are the second person to mention this place; I need to check it out!
Hawes is definitely worth the trip while in AZ.
I snapped my dropper post cable in the same spot 2 weeks ago!
I just got bAck from Sedona a few weeks ago. So fun. So scary lol nice bro!
Bummed I did not run into ya on the trails while you were in Sedona.
I use to boat with Mac!
Colorado is a warm 27 degrees today
Roll Tie!
Letâs gooooo
Must find ground control!
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 :)
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?
Alex with the rizz
Nah. If Iâm 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 itâs cool people do it I suppose.
Chain issues are unacceptable given the trails you rideđ I know you're not a dentist....are you...? But it might be time for a Yetiđ SB140...Nate just did a build vid and I'm sure that whip would work for some Samplin'
Lovin' the content đ€đ€đ€
Shame on BOBO...lmao!!!!
Hogs are no joke. Have you done Hangover and is there a vid coming on it?
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.
You must have borrowed some of Brianâs climbing mojo for this ride đ
Right?!! I was feeling it đȘ
Hey Alex just curious, was wondering what youâre currently riding?
I'm totally ok with your risk to fun ratio. I actually don't enjoy watching someone risk their . mobility or life to come up with content(although I've seen you do itđ). Great video.
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
Wow. One of your scariest videos.
Iâd 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.
29:42 Iâm still watching.
I have nightmares just thinking about the white line
Well, riding the Line is a line that I wouldnt cross as well. Just not fun enough for the danger.
We were just there a week or 2 ago. Looked at it⊠will probably never do it. Risk is not worth the reward.
Yo Alex are you going to be back in March for the festival?
I donât think so as of now but weâll see!
@@The_Sampler ah bummer it's my first time being able to make it and was hoping to be able to meet some of my favorite riders. I totally get it though sometimes things just don't work out that way. Great video BTW and glad to see you posting more.
28:30 nice fart echo LOL
đ
Where are you overnighting? West of town?
west of town on the BLM or parked by my friends' airbnb
28:29 Bobo is that you?
I have to choose between this and the world cup final-
I had to get this out so I could go watch lolol
He loves to climb
Learned it from this kook i know đ
@@The_Sampler sez th only kook I know
JK I know a LOT of kooks
LFRHGS
Yooo Thomas coming in huge; thanks bro!! đ€
I wouldn't even walk the White Line
Anyone who rides it is insane
My friends have tons of peeing pictures...
Amazing video... But I can't help think that maybe the sampler has a secret Girlfriend? đ đ
