THE HOGS // Mountain Biking Sedona Arizona

[@doughboi007]

can't believe you're almost at 1/4 million subs. This was the first video of yours that i saw and fell in love with channel.

[@BCpov]

Some serious exposure in spots! The riding isn't too tricky, but the extra pucker factor when you could fall to your death changes things!

[@TheLoamRanger]

I feel like this is a set of trails that would be incredibly fun to learn well and master. It takes legs to keep the speed up, but watching the video back really shows that if a person knew the trail well, they could really fly and have some serious fun. Nate Hills says these are his favourite Sedona trails and I can see why!

[@poopystik6985]

I subbed when you where at 9k and this has never got old

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! Glad you're still stoked on the channel!

[@JordanBoostmaster]

I was seriously wondering what was going on with the rest of your Arizona footage! Such a beautiful location though, I'd love to go there sometime

[@TheLoamRanger]

Ya I got a little off track haha. South Mountain in Phoenix is next up!

[@chipandpete]

The Loam Ranger avoid the West end, imo

[@nightspirits5608]

Dont use marijuana befor you ride or you might get off track 😁

[@thehappyscript]

Jordan Boostmaster Wait a second. Is Jordan Boostmaster that super famous awesome youtuber who rides at whistler??

[@nightspirits5608]

No

[@dank3823]

Man that place is awesome! Your clear video makes it even better. 👍

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks Dan. It's nice to see that people notice :D

[@FlyFishtheMitt]

Just got back from my first trip to Sedona...will for sure be back!! Great video!

[@liljendal20]

BALLS! haha awesome,, As I was watching i started to tilt my head in the direction of your turns haha! awesome vid as always

[@FranciscoJSantana]

Can't wait to try some of this trails and take video! Will probably be there for the festival.

[@TheMoreWeExplore]

one of my favorite trails!

[@jakeempey6543]

so nice there!! going to the festival in march, super exited!!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Awesome! Ya I seriously considered booking tickets for that, but the schedule didn't work out.

[@jakeempey6543]

will you be going next year?

[@crankytrails3503]

I leave tomorrow for Sedona... your vids are getting me psyched up! Unfortunately I'll be riding with a wrist brace and a chipped lower metacarpus :P

[@TheLoamRanger]

Oops! You'll still have a good time though. How could you not?!

[@DirtWireTV]

My good buddy's riding in Sedona right now (probably on his Switchblade). Sent him this link to make sure he hits it. Looks great.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Nice! Lucky man.

[@ksanasinh]

FYI Santa Cruz Reserve wheels add thicker grease in their I9 hubs to cut down the buzz by 70%. But most people prefer the loudness

[@TheLoamRanger]

Fly Team MTBC that's exactly what I did on my personal bike. I also took out half the pawls. Still get performance and much quieter.

[@TheLoamRanger]

POP QUIZ: What did the two old guys say to me? Also, what's your favourite trail in the Sedona area?

[@harryshaw559]

The Loam Ranger where did u get your gopro strap? I got one and it only allows the camera to look down

[@itgotweird]

Hangover, the climb up is fun challenging and down is a blast. I would like Hiline second, but I am not in love with the ride up.

[@BCpov]

Hangover!

[@TheLoamRanger]

The strap is just the standard chesty version. The mount is a J hook and I'm using a gimbal, which lets me set whatever angle of view I want. Pretty handy! Here's my exact set up: myillumi.com/bring-action-cam-footage-speed/

[@harryshaw559]

The Loam Ranger thanks!

[@Fitlabsports]

Great video I am headed out there in 2 weeks and have never ridden those trails cant wait.

[@andrewr3512]

Just rode that exact line this weekend! Thanks for the great content

[@kjj9701]

Really enjoyed watching this video. The colors look amazing!!!!

[@flosbyre2575]

the landscapes are beautiful, just like your trails

[@trailstokemtb]

"Everyone needs to come to this place" ---ABSOLUTELY! I didn't want to leave!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Me neither! I was so bummed that I only had one day there.

[@trailstokemtb]

The Loam Ranger Same here! Plus I was with my wife so in other words I was mountain biking by myself for half the day haha.

[@mmakshak]

13:28 and 13:29, that twisted tree on the right(right next to the trail) is probably an indication of a vortex.

[@goforbroke2]

I just got back from Sedona yesterday and rode Hiline, Slim Shady, Templeton, Easy Breezy, and something else. I’m super jelly I miss this segment of trails. So much flow compared to what I rode.

[@THESEGMENTPR]

Thank you. Awesome terrain out there. I am headed to Sedona this Thanksgiving and hoping to get on some of those trails.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Have fun!

[@nickcummins3084]

making it look easy, man! nice vid as always

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks Nick! Easy and slow haha

[@RealMJSr]

Those trails out West are so rocky, we have so many roots out here in the Southeast. Would love to ride those.

[@RiderUnknownUK]

6:39 I was nervous for you! What a trail!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha ya it got a little spicy here and there!

[@rgmtb]

Wow! Amazing how the trails look compared to North East riding. Looking for all the trees and green :-)

[@TheLoamRanger]

And this is probably one of the greenest areas in Arizona haha.

[@Composite7248]

...And I'm sitting here in southern Alberta, looking out the window at at 30cm of snow.... jealous.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm in Edmonton doing the same thing right now haha.

[@iseabeck9488]

I was wondering where this went! Lol when the camera pans back at 4:42 and I'm squeezing sweat out of my helmet

[@TheLoamRanger]

YOU RUINED MY MOMENT. :D Still gonna post the rest of Arizona... I just got distracted by shiny new bikes haha

[@iseabeck9488]

Shoot I don't blame you!

[@williamramsey855]

I have ridden all over Sedona AZ. It was amazing. Next time you should try the white line. Also Aries trail has amazing single track that forces you to skirt around cacti.

[@zoeyh6859]

must be fun to finally be warm on one of your trips

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha totally

[@cheddarlove1]

I just watched this. It was interesting to hear your comment on the i9 hub, and I'm glad I did. I've been considering them, but the noise would bug the F out of me too.

[@howlieboy]

I know this was forever ago, but would you recommend the same go pro settings (hero 8) for Sedona as you do for you local shaded area? I didn’t know if the open Sunny area with red rock would change your default settings?

[@LoganArndt]

Going to Sedona to MTB this January. What is this trail called? @ 3:19 Is this trail Intermediate or Advanced?

[@Trailsy]

Some views, stunning! Trails look technical, hardwork...and fun! ☺

[@Shoeless_DA]

Such a great loop, my go to when in Sedona

[@monstervlogster1157]

Thanks for the video man, super cool trails =)

[@TheLoamRanger]

They definitely were. Thanks for watching Monster!

[@JoaquinBridges]

What an amazing location. Great video!

[@daltonzanetti]

If you would have gone left at the Hog Heaven and Hog Wash intersection, you could have hit Pig Tail which is a sweet little jump line. It's one of the few actual jump trails in Sedona.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Seriously? Oh man that would have been awesome!

[@toddspaanstra6001]

Pig Tail is definitely a must do if you come to Sedona. The grin it leaves on your face will last for days.

[@AlexeiPavlov]

Above his paygrade

[@natepalmer5714]

Shred on!!! Keep up the great work

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks Nate! Diggin the logo!

[@MTBFlowRider]

I might be getting out that way in a month or so. Looks so fun!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Niiice. You're gonna love it. Bring a spare set of lungs though haha

[@TheBandBlossom]

I subbed when you had 5k.... wow time flies

[@TheLoamRanger]

It does! Thanks for sticking around Josh!

[@automotivedistributors9708]

Wow man. I wish that place was local to me! It was like a mini MOAB! Sick!

[@TheLoamRanger]

That would be incredible. I can't imagine how fast a person would progress as a rider if they had these kinds of trails in their backyard!

[@stevenpeyton7476]

@@TheLoamRanger The answer is pretty fast. I moved here from the midwest a few years ago and my riding has improved exponentially. Technical sections + Exposure = heightened focus.

[@elliotpearson60]

If you want to quiet your hub down a bit maybe put a bit of extra lubrication in there? That'd be my first thought! Love your vids by the way!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks Elliot! Thanks exactly what I did with my own bike actually. Worked really, really well.

[@carpenter751]

I wonder if grease in the i9 would quiet it down a bit. I have a Chris king hub and it’s loud too. Great video all the way to the music at the end. I just got into your channel from b1ker bar and I’m going through it all in no particular order just enjoying it all.

[@thehappyscript]

Those trails look so awesome and fun to ride! Definetly a future ride location. What is the name of the first trail he got onto?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Totally! I believe it was Broken Arrow. If you check my Strava, it's on there.

[@thehappyscript]

The Loam Ranger Oh thank you. That whole area looks like a good riding location. I'm from southern utah and there are a lot of dessert trails like those. Thanks again.

[@abracadabra599]

Just found your channel :D Love your videos keep it up!

[@tristanfriesen2411]

I subbed when u were at 500 subs and still love the channel

[@hedmisten]

i9 suggest a specific kind of grease that will quiet that hub down a good bit.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Very true! I have them on my new bike actually and the techs who installed them put some oil in their and it quietened them right up.

[@hurleywilson7246]

Wow. Great riding. Beyond my current ability to say the least...

[@Thealdon_47]

Great trails, I have family in AZ... maybe me and the MTB should go visit.!! they live 25 minutes from the Hawes trails from your previous video.

[@TNStrikeman]

That trail looks dope!!

[@TheLoamRanger]

It was! Definitely on the list for next time.

[@thepalmpilot3g]

Great video as always! Arizona has some real hidden beauty if you take the time to find it. I was curious how you felt about the Switchblade? I"ve heard a lot of "TALK" about Pivot bikes and how they compare to the rest of the world but i don't know just how much better they really could be, especially now adays with technology improving so much. Would love your take on it.

[@TrailBikeBebop]

that trail is unreal.

[@TheLoamRanger]

It was a blast!

[@upstatecre8]

I am scouting out Az spot we can camp and MTB with our kids. There’s some beautiful single track on the section but it looks like there’s a lot of drop offs that might be dangerous for kids. Any advice?

[@JamesStoup]

Lol "You guys are ruining my moment" cut.

[@TheLoamRanger]

James Stoup how dare they!

[@kingqman8250]

Have you ever tried jeeping in Sedona? I did it when I went it was really fun!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Never done that! I've been there for a total of one day in my life and you've just seen the video from that day haha

[@garydecker3281]

Great Video!

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks Gary!

[@chillnjeep1116]

Well , now you HAVE TO GAP THE JEEP! lol

[@cubedroid5087]

Nice vid, I just subscribed

[@survivorguy5607]

What brand do you suggest mongoose or diamondback

[@dazeccles]

Hi man, what go pro set up are you using if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks

[@aldrietchdakay1969]

What hubs do you have mate?

[@WesPeebles]

Nice ride! Is this with the hero 4? I'm surprised how much of the gimbal motors its picking up!?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Wes Peebles ya hero 4. Sometimes the gimbal just hates it's life at the moment and runs louder than usual. This was one of those times!

[@WesPeebles]

The Loam Ranger yeah I hear ya! I’ve noticed mine does that if it’s really pressed into that foam piece on the gimbal. Great videos man, check out mine sometime!

[@mattthelenentertainment]

4K at 30fps?

[@ethanrivera7062]

What kind of bike is he on?

[@ethanm1216]

what camera do u use?

[@KurtisPape]

Hey, just curious does that pivot have ethirteen wheels?

[@TheLoamRanger]

This one had the Reynolds/I9 carbon upgrade.

[@KurtisPape]

Just curious because I heard some noises coming from the bike and I thought it might have been Ethirteen Hubs because my Ethirteen hubs come loose and were making the worst noise and I found metal filings in them.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Oh ya I know what you're talking about. That was just my derailleur hating its life.

[@novierendra8601]

Hey Loam,do you have a contact who i can ask to guide me at sedona trail ?

[@cartterlong9464]

Anyone have the trailforks link to the loop?

[@paulahner2101]

Got Inertia as an ad before the video started ;D

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha perfect.

[@bullseye0112]

Epic. Are you running flats or clipless?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Flats!

[@billzig2]

Where’s that parking lot located to hit broken arrow?

[@billzig2]

Nvm found it haha

[@callumduffy1615]

Where is the pole

[@TheLoamRanger]

This was filmed back in November, so the Pole was still just a bare frame in a box!

[@keehotee1357]

If your hub is too loud just pedal more.

[@TheLoamRanger]

But my legzzzzz!

[@gregsmith5270]

doesnt the chest mount restrict ur breathing?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Yeeeeeup. It sucks.

[@toddspaanstra6001]

Want to suffer a little more? Next time do Triple H. It's a killer. Hog, Hang Over, and High Line plus all the connecting trails.

[@scottyh72]

Why do you always cut out the hard parts?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha well there were plenty of challenging sections in there. I was pretty sure I cleaned most things! I usually don't include me just huffing the bike down something on foot because no one really wants to watch that. It's about editing the vid to be the most enjoyable for the viewer. If you want to watch the vid of the full trail, you can see it on my Patreon page: patreon.com/theloamranger Cheers!

[@cristianmelgoza6266]

That bike is load😎😎

[@bobcat5496]

When you have a 345:1 like ratio it’s a good day! Keep shredding my dude!

[@cypriano8763]

there isent a lot of real double black in sedona. the last bit of hiline and maybe 1/5 of hangover. hogs is a black.

[@garugaru999]

nice sound HADLEY?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Industry 9 Torch hubs

[@javiertan9646]

Yo loan ranger , what hubs are those?

[@TheLoamRanger]

They were i9 Torch hubs

[@TheLoamRanger]

The same ones I have on my new bike actually, but I took half the pawls out and put thicker oil in, so it's MUCH quieter.

[@simonkubacki9823]

More Pole!

[@simonkubacki9823]

I'm pretty sure my daughter was conceived in Sedona

[@qualm43]

Looks like you guys skipped something @ 3:39.... Hmmmmmm.....

[@TheLoamRanger]

Oh I'm sure I did haha. I would love to get back there again and clean everything!

[@j.wilkerson1905]

I had I9's for a whole 18 months, had to switch, so annoying.

[@jakeempey6543]

you can take your i9 hubs to a shop and they can quiet them down for you

[@dav31078]

Not sure how you even rode without the Pole!

[@TheLoamRanger]

David Campbell I know right? I can't believe I had to put up with that top of the line Switchblade 😂

[@jakov_badjo8453]

Amazing video. I would love to go here sometimes. #MTBforlife

[@TheLoamRanger]

Thanks! It's a cool experience, just being there.

[@charlesgriswold5469]

mach 6 or 429 trail?

[@TheLoamRanger]

Neither. Switchblade!

[@useport80]

where's the pole evolink

[@hamstergraphics]

This was 2017

[@TheLoamRanger]

Yup, what Hamster said. :)

[@reidavi9156]

Ever in my life i wanted to do something like this...

[@michaelzitt7754]

You left out the technical section on high on the hog

[@TheLoamRanger]

Ya I think I mentioned the one section that I left out. It's in the extended cut on Patreon though... just not very exciting haha

[@shiivering2697]

Your bike is so loud haha

[@TheLoamRanger]

Haha ya that hub was pretty loud. Just a demo bike though!

[@BIKEITSN]

That views!

[@TheLoamRanger]

I know! Just incredible.

[@sampeeler3790]

I love you

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

13:09 A lot of buzz for your money ;-p

[@TheLoamRanger]

You got that right!

I wish they could shave a full pound off of Onyx hubs. I want totally silent hubs.

[@TheLoamRanger]

Same here. From what I've been told, you can expect a lightweight Onyx hub later this year!

[@todduncyclist7974]

The Loam Ranger i9 hubs you say? kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6LTlHWmiNidZ6M
