Tire choice is SUPER important and for maximum traction I chose Vittoria Aggaro 2.6 front and 2.4 rear. You can save 20% off your next order and get free shipping by using code Lenosky20 at check out on Vittoria.com
Not that I’d ever ride this insane stuff, but you inspired me to buy a set of Vittoria Mazzas for my hardtail and I love these tires. Great achievement by the way, keep it up 👍
looks like your endorsement is working as they are mostly sold out atm. Always nice to be able to watch someone the same height and weight as me with way more skills by the way 👍
Loved that you shared how a rider at your level can still be intimidated and how you took the steps to overcome it. We can all gain great perspective from this video when trying to conquer our own challenges. Thanks and well done!
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss haha indeed! And for us average size guys, the white line is still terrifying! Never gonna do it, but had a cringe worthy blast watching your experience! Loving your content my dude!
Been out there a few times just walking it !!! It’s scary just walking it !! And with all the people watching you from Chicken Point it’s even more scary !!! I first went on it at 59 years young…. And I want to make it to 60 !!! Keep up the great stuff !!! Bob from the Sedona area !!!!
Great camera work. I’ve seen a bunch of white line videos and they usually don’t capture the exposure as well as you did. Congrats on conquering a fear. That route is something crazy.
The rare “cool” trail that I have no interest in ever trying. I’m old enough that I’ll never do most of them anyway, but I wish I could ride stuff like Whistler and Kamloops or even Poison Spider, but this one doesn’t appeal to me at all. Good job conquering your fear though. My 50th thing was a half marathon in Hawaii (which I had to limp through with a pulled hamstring.)
I almost died, but then it was so easy I got a Local Legend on Strava. You're a beast, keep the vids coming. I really need to vacation in Sedona, but not sure I'll ride that.
That is some of the best footage of that trail, showing the perspective of how steep it is. I haven't ridden it but have looked up at it from Chicken Point after riding the Pigs Loop and Highline. It's a steeper drop off than it shows on video but your footage and drone shots do the best job I ve seen
Well Jeff, it will never be on my checklist because I will never develop your amazing skills on a hardtail, but CONGRATS on a superb accomplishment and equally outstanding video. Kudos!
Great vid, you captured the scariness well, here. The vertical, turnaround point really is a mind-over-matter moment. When you were riding it I couldn't help but fixate on the beyond point, no good! Happy Birthday, too! Used to have a Giant STP and became a fan of yours when I learned that was your ride.
I want to ride in Sedona one day, but White Line is not nor will never be on my list of trails to try. I am 54 yrs old, but I don't have near the skills you do. The scariest trail I have ridden is Portal Loop in Moab back in 1994 by myself. I would try that one again if I ever make it back to Moab.
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss I am sure it's more so nowadays with all the erosion from so much traffic since 1994. Some of the videos I watch of the Portal look more treacherous than I remember
Damn congrats sir you don’t look your age let alone hitting massive jumps like fort him. Great inspiration to know that I can and will be still riding my mountain bike when I am your age cheers happy riding
Astounding! I loved seeing your process, too. I have too little skill and too much anxiety to try something like this, but I enjoy watching others do it. I am sure it must have been so much been by time number five with all that confidence going strong.
Awesome! I love your videos. They have helped me big time. I live in Sedona and also a Pink Jeep driver. I was on chx point the day you did this. The tourist were freaking out! Keep up the videos they are well appreciated. If you ever want a pink jeep ride let me know. I have a free one for you and a guest
“And then I rode it over and over…” Think maybe there’s something in there on how to up one’s game…. Hardtail a nice touch. Maybe on the road bike next for real cred? Beautiful scenery of course …
Not gonna lie man, I clinched a bit when you made that first loop. Congrats on making it that's a hell of a fear factor loop on camera, can't imagine in person.
its amazing how not scary this looks in videos, so when I visited sedona i went just to look at it in person cause i knew it would look way worse and I didnt even want to walk it its so sketchy
Jeff, happy 50th birthday! You completed your rite of passage. Unlike all the other videos I've seen on this, yours fits into your theme of constantly giving guidance and instruction to others-- even while riding it. I can't say that this is the most wise location to provide guidance for others. It was definitely unique that you did it six or seven times. That seems par for the course, knowing you are a trials guy. I suppose you can cross that off the list, but your comments about your comfort level after having done it, concern me that you would go back and attempt it again with confidence that can only get you in trouble. I'd say this video was enough. Glad to see you survived and hope you don't bother with it again. I'd much rather continue to watch your adventures than hear about your "last" adventure. I met you in Sedona and rather not learn that is where you met death. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Jeff, thanks for sharing your experience on the "White Line." I will be heading to Sedona mid September, however; not the White Line. Blue skies, Jg
200+ comments and no one mentions the obvious 'Evolve' throwback reference?! For SHAME! Only OG Lenosky fans remember! Thanks for the trials inspiration Jeff!!!
I saw the white line yesterday for the first time in person and some guys were telling me that ppl mountain bike across it. I actually can't believe you did this lol. props!
I would expect a pile of skeletons at the bottom. I'm 70 yrs. old and I still ride some techy stuff but White Line is too sketch for me. Good job Jeff!
A full suspension bike doesn't just make the ride smoother, it's primary job I'd too keep the wheels on the ground and give you more traction. It could have helped.
Sod that my hands were sweaty just watching this i will stick to the rock gardens of the UK thank you very much but huge respect to you and any one doing that and surviving.
Been there once, we looked at it an turned around....... I got queasy watching you walk on it!! Regardless there are lots of fun trails for the less brave LOL.
Nice to see that even the pros get scared sometimes 👍👍also nice to see that you can ride on a high level beyond 50👌I'm 46 and hope I got many years of trail riding left. I noticed that you got the DVO fork. Is it the Diamond D1? What do you think about it? I got the diamond and the topaz on my ripmo af.
HOLY SHIT! Even with "go pro parallax", those step parts are STEEEEEP! Jeff! Where you at? How do I find you in Sedona and book some training, or better yet just hang out? Wow. I love your presence about how important the mind is! Your actual "lock up", and the way you described it, is so powerful! I how people understand what survival reactions are and that you CAN NOT not have them! Wow! GREAT video!
It was a good idea to have the spotter until you got more comfortable. Congrats. I’m ok with never trying it. It’s super scary looking when you are actually there.

If you try Continental Trail King 2.4 you'll throw all other tyres into garbage bin! Continental Trail King has insane grip on this trail!
Hopefully your medical and life insurance dont see this video
@@ThatguyDiscGolf82 shhhhh
If I rode that trail it would be called "The Brown Line" when I was done.
Lololol
Beat me to it lol. I posted the comment then saw yours and deleted it.
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss just wear your brown shorts…it will be all good 😂
OK dude, you win
Lol 😆.
Oh interesting. One of my goals is to never ride that.
One of the more achievable goals I guess. I’m with you
Same lmao
😂 exactly brother
Nice fursuit 🤙
I'm in for this goal as well. Keep up the good work!

@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss you grabbed fear by the balls, swung it around your head and said you cannot defeat me fear for I am human!

Your honesty is humbling. You are da Boss!
thanks for watching!
this is why your are the Trail Boss!!
All mtb’ers: “most terrifying thing ever”
Jeff Kendal Weed: “you can wheelie it!”
Well done my guy!
Lol. Jeff is an insane rider and half my size. Steep roll downs that require not skidding have always been my downfall.

Thanks for my 50th B-day inspiration. I'm not that far behind you. And your climbing abilities is more impressive.
Thanks! It’s insane how 5 times more people watched this when I’m 10 times more proud of climbing Bottom Up!
My initial reaction upon setting the White Line, in person, the first time - "HELLLLL NOOOOO! I don't even want to HIKE that!"
LOL
Jeff you are nothing short of a legend!
HansRey nose wheelied that section, what a legend and Jeff showed us how to be a trail boss.....
Forever the TRAIL BOSS! Great going man, I can’t even fathom riding this line. Congrats on crossing that one off the bucket list haha
My palms are literally sweating watching this!! That's nuts!!!!
I did the pink jeep tour to the bottom lookout. The white line definitely looked sketchy. Glad you were able to conquer it.
Been out there a few times just walking it !!! It’s scary just walking it !! And with all the people watching you from Chicken Point it’s even more scary !!! I first went on it at 59 years young…. And I want to make it to 60 !!!

Hey Bob!
Dude... my heart is pounding just watching you do this. Please come back to Jersey in one piece.

You're the man Jeff, way to confront and conquer your fear -- I enjoyed cowering in front of my computer screen and riding it vicariously through you.

Oh Jeff! That was terrifying watching it on the phone! Really glad you've got that one dialled.
I agree, I then watched it on the iPad & it was much less traumatic.
This was a good segment to understand fear control. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I would prefer to understand fear control by trying to eat broccoli. Has always given me the heebie jeebies.
That was super awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
Congrats man!
Awesome job man! My heart was racing just watching!

Nope! I'm 54 and I think I will pass on that one. Glad you showed how sketchy it really is. Watching Nate ride it and it looks almost doable!
Nate is an AMAZING rider and almost half my size... I was scared if I could stop!
Mate I’ll tell ya I was getting sweaty palms just watching this. That’s full on, congratulations 👊
Happy Birthday Jeff!! I'm 57 so I guess I have til 60 to check WL off my list........LoL
He turns 50 and takes his hard tail to the most sketchiest trail. U R amazing.
Pretty much lol
Hello Jeff, thanks for sharing your experience on the "White Line." I will be heading to Sedona mid September, however; not the White Line. Blue skies, Jg
Man that is wild to think about. One of the worst places to fall, but at least there is an audience so there wouldn't be a mystery.
Lol. Very true.
No way Jeff!!! No way! Never once have I thought I would want to ride this.
You got my palms sweating 😨
200+ comments and no one mentions the obvious 'Evolve' throwback reference?! For SHAME! Only OG Lenosky fans remember! Thanks for the trials inspiration Jeff!!!
wait, did I miss it? lol
That audio drop at the beginning of the video was excellent 😂
Thanks for the palm sweat!
Mad respect Jeff, those rolls at the end are super exposed and sick too!
Pretty awesome. I like your videos, this one had my hands sweating, good job!
mission accomplished!
I saw the white line yesterday for the first time in person and some guys were telling me that ppl mountain bike across it. I actually can't believe you did this lol. props!
Mint! Way to put some proper perspective on that skid turnaround section. I felt my back on that last section hardtail compression. Happy belated!!
Jeff , if the trail made you nervous I am sure most others felt same. I get nervous riding Kittatinny...
Bravo.
It’s only because you don’t believe you can actually stop and if you’re wrong you go off the cliff!
I would expect a pile of skeletons at the bottom. I'm 70 yrs. old and I still ride some techy stuff but White Line is too sketch for me. Good job Jeff!
Thanks for watching and stoked you're still shredding!
First time in a while where watching somebody else ride a sketchy feature made my own palms get sweaty!
Well done and congrats! That is one I won’t be bothering with.
That trail is insane. I have a bucket list of trails I want to ride and this one is not on it. Lol. Well done...of course I expected nothing less. 😀
Almost fall of my chair when watching the last part of your clip...anyway good job Jeff, congrats!!
That turn and those rolls look ridiculously steep. Props for taking a hardtail out there.
A full suspension bike doesn't just make the ride smoother, it's primary job I'd too keep the wheels on the ground and give you more traction. It could have helped.
Well done! that turn does look terrifying.
Wow! On a hardtail! 👍
I'm so happy for you!
I’m driving the nope bus on this one. Glad you conquered your fears.
Man this looks wild. Definitely on my bucket list!
That was next level
Just curious if it’s possible to use more front brake on that to creep down the face; avoiding the skidding!?
That was using a LOT of front brake as it was, it's just so steep it's easy to lose rear traction.
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss crazy! wow! I guess it's hard to portray how steep it is on camera! Nice work for getting it done! 👍🏼

Nice I’m getting ready to go to griffin park and hit your new trail
Let me know what you think
Our entire group did the white line when we were there, even my dog..... WALKING it that is!
So awesome to see you clean it as I knew you would, but I don't think your done until you go up it 🍻👍🏼. #missionaccomplished
