I Think More People Could Ride The White Line...

Everyone says the trail known as the White Line is dangerous, deadly, and really difficult, but what if they aren't telling the whole story? Join me as I take on the white line as the first trail I do while riding in Sedona, Arizona for the first time. This is part 2 of my Sedona travel vlog for the Sedona Mountain Bike Festival in 2020.

Josh doing the White Line like he’s finishing his taxes. “Okay, all done. Good stuff”

[@DailyMTBRider]

Hahaha my taxes were way harder, that's for sure!

[@B1KER]

You have sucessfully talked a bunch of people into dying. Good job. LOL

[@rducut]

It's bit irresponsible to say "it's not that bad" when people's lives are at risk if you ride it

[@FlowmentumMTB]

@B1KER HaHa I was thinking exactly the same.. Im game but live too far away...

[@CarbonClydesdale]

@@rducut people are responsible foe their own actions. Just because Danny Macaskill makes the slabs look easy, he's not responsible for untrained morons trying to recreate that, right? Trust your skill level, your gear, and own up to your actions.

This was the most peaceful entrance and completion of the white line🤙😆. Great job Josh!🌵🌵🌵😎

Thanks so much man! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@melwalshmtb9121]

Man, well done for even attempting that, never mind doing the whole thing! I've seen some horrible videos on Instagram of crashes on the White Line, ant to say the least, it's never really ends well! Keep up the awesome content

[@marcosmadrazo2440]

Ha! Most accurate comment! Mad but lovely. 🌟 Josh is a boss. 🤘🏻

No it isn't hard, but the consequences for a little slip can be huge. Remember you have young kids 👍. Leave stupid stuff to us old dudes 😁

[@mtb_ryds]

Good job Josh. Sedona was sick, good to see you.

[@DailyMTBRider]

So good to see you there Kelly! Can't wait to ride with you again!

[@willbros1499]

Great job on the white line! So.....don't show up to ride the white line with my old janky DHF tires with all the side lugs peeling off, and a few of them missing? Got it. :-) I just decided to try the Michelin Enduro's, and it's going to be back to Aggressor and DHF 2.5's immediately with those as spares. Those things are draggy, and I can't feel any improvement in grip. FYI. Also, GREAT TIP on more front brake on things like that with great traction. It's a little risky on questionable traction to go 60-40, but we learned really quickly in MOAB that front brake was the key to control. Here in NWA on our limestone, if it's wet at all, it's probably not going to end well if you get too heavy on the front brake.

[@bikeninja956]

love your technique, super controlled and calm. 60/40 braking technique, it's really all it takes. We often let our emotions and get in the way. It's all about leveling out and controlling the sympathetic nervous system in situations like that.

[@always110percent4]

To answer the question in the title, both.

[@DailyMTBRider]

Very true my friend!

[@middleagedmediocremountain4767]

Definitely above mediocre!

[@benbothman7288]

Back when I was into the 4x4 Rock crawling thing people described Moab as “high stakes bingo” seems like a good description of this. Not that difficult, but mistakes have serious consequences.

[@FlowConsciously]

Really appreciated the 'know thyself' focus... Man, first time I SAW that thing in person every ounce of my being SCREAMED: "HELLLL NOOOO!" I didn't even want to WALK it! So - yeah, proud that there are those like you, Josh, that can just 'get it done'... buuuuut NOT me! :-) LOL

[@DirtbagsMTB]

Try: 1.hero octane salamander mtb it's only 200$ or 2.hero octane albastros only 300$ , 3. Hero octane gyrfalcon only 600$ but provides best performance , it's an Indian mtb and you know the normal roads of India it's more than a downhill.This mtb is made for only rough use. I bet you will like it.

[@onenoodles]

Great video, liked your laid back approach to it ... I went to Sedona about 4 years ago, as a Brit everything was so alien to what we ride in the UK. I didn't do the White Line but I did a bunch of trails over 3 days and loved it ... things I liked, the views, the weather, the techi stuff ... disliked, when a nice section gets slowed to a crawl because of it just being too narrow (you caught your pedals on a rock on the film), some parts of the trails lack markings and you lose your bearings easy. Just a quick one for any Brits going for the first time .... take gallons of water, the heat man! crazy ... I ended up on one trail by the side of a river and I was soooo hot I just dropped the bike and walked in fully clothed and it was heaven!

[@mrwilly41]

Is it just me ?.. Or is the background music from Cecil B Demille's "The Ten Commandments"

[@kylesmith853]

Damn impressive man!!! Looks like a killer section of trail!

[@DailyMTBRider]

It's really not that bad, but man if you have one misstep you're in for a world of hurt!

[@digantabora4137]

Only you can do this

[@lonewolf30531]

I guess if you can do it anybody can. You are a average rider and got it done . Awesome ! Thanks for content .

[@4ajaws]

on the down part of the white line do you use the front brake? Just finished watching it and you explained it.

[@specialev2827]

Nice going Josh. The wind was blowing hard just where you make that left when I was out there and I got sketched out so I passed. The rock there is so grippy its mostly just a head game.

[@DailyMTBRider]

Yeah it's surprisingly grippy, that's for sure!

[@wlouisharris]

"If this was without the consequence on the side"(certain death or paralized) - no thanks.
