School is in Session: Hardtail Party puts on a Climbing Clinic/ Sedona pt 2

This is Part 2 from my Hiline trail ride in Sedona with Steve from Hardtail Party. A few clips from this half of the ride really showcases the technical climbing skill set you can acquire when you're a local in Sedona. Pay attention because Steve rides some tight and rocky uphills that I wouldn't have thought were possible to clean previously. This video picks up just after the end of Hiline where we ride parts of Baldwin, Templeton, and Easy Breezy trails. Enjoy!

That one was really good too. Thanks for the ride. Really enjoyed it. Love Sedona, been there twice. Yes, rocky.

[@hardtailparty]

Such a fun day! Thanks for capturing it so well.

[@ShreddingSpree]

Glad you like it Steve! I think it’s pretty cool to show an audience what hardtail party is like from another angle!

[@dozza7946]

What bike is that, that your on? Is it the Banshee Paradox v3 painted again? 🤔

[@dozza7946]

Or the Spot?

[@hardtailparty]

Steve is such a unique rider. I can't recall him ever leaving the ground with both tires, yet he eats up everything in his path.

[@petedog9581]

@@ShreddingSpree Maturely, that's my style since I am okay at jumps. Old guys like me love tech climbs. I just sessioned some big granite rocks today and was on point with hucks to flats and a lot of trials stuff. It is fun, but just one discipline of mountain biking. In your home terrain you shred. The learning curve for a trail like Hi Line is long. Gotta know every ripple and rock to clean sections. Can't just rely on brute force and carrying speed to get by. Glad you got to travel. Hope more locations are to come.

I rode these trails in Mid September. The camera does not do the steepness any justice. Seeing you two ride everything is very impressive!

[@ShreddingSpree]

It’s definitely helps to follow someone that knows the lines like Steve!

[@sixate]

Crazy rock climbing. I guess if you live there and ride that stuff all the time your inner mountain goat has no choice but to come out. Great video.

[@weichentechnikk8083]

Hey, are you still running .86 spacer in the shock ? Or have you changed it back to 0.6...Thanks

[@ShreddingSpree]

Still running the .86! No ragrats

[@LetsGoRideMTB]

Sweet!, have you been up to Tehachapi yet? definitely not like Sedona, but some decent tech to keep those truckin skills up to speed.

[@ShreddingSpree]

Haven’t been. Gotta check that out!

[@LetsGoRideMTB]

@@ShreddingSpree the guy you want to reach out to for guide is Mike McCool - he has been the man behind building all the trails and is up there most days.

[@roryveronda9933]

Video always makes it look easier - Not that climb!

[@AppleJack76]

My face leaks ALL of the times.

[@ShreddingSpree]

Glad I’m not alone 😜
