The White Line trail is Sketchy and Deadly 💀
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2019
- This trail has been the subject of many videos already, but I wanted to provide a closer look at it. The White Line is basically just some light colored sandstone on a large rock formation in Sedona Arizona. Don't ride this, as it can kill you. Many good riders have stood at the top and turned back, because it is sketchy as frig.

I would never do this. The risk of sunburn is too great.
agreed xD
🏆
I just don’t wanna get dust in my eyes.
Yea, but compared to another problem thats nothing. The biggest problem would be the height and risk of riding that. Sometimes when you get that high its like a little harder to breath
@@bustoms r/wooosh
If you're gonna put it on your bucketlist just do it last and your all good
Lol
Yeee ha!
after injuring yourself on everything else end it all here xD
The is a problem though... at 80 years old I would hardly able to pedal.
esphi LEE is your bucket list that long? I don't even have one.
I want to meet the person that saw that white line and went “Looks like a path, I’am going to ride it”
Probably a goat.

It's my homie Chewy- he's one of the nicest, coolest dudes you'll ever meet.
Me too. I want to know what was in their heads.
I've cured my fear of heights. I find that staying the hell off really high things works a treat.
Yup. I agree

If I rode it, it would become the “red line”

TheMasterYoshi 64 - now look up when to use the word 'literally'.
the matrix is watching you
How do you not know how to ride a bike but know how to navigate the internet?
okay what prolly cuz hes spent most of the time learning how to use the internet but never got outside n rode a bike 🤷🏾♂️
"I'm not really...entirely sure why I'm doing this"
That's the part of you that wants to live, desperately attempting to turn you away from your folly. :)
I just wanted to pay a compliment to who ever scripts the voice over. Nice job, and Seth you voice over delivery works so well with your productions. Pretty decent rider too!
"So you've really got to like, jedi mind trick your tires." That's the type of advice that really instills confidence.

What a well spoken articulate person eh
That's hilarious
I have no idea what that means. I understand a lot of mountain biking lingo, but "Jedi mind trick your tires" baffles me.
@@Durwood71 it means your focus determines your reality. So if you believe your tires won't slip, then they won't slip padawan lol
The two hardest parts of the White Line is,
#1- The whole thing.
#2- The whole thing.
Is there a #3?
Charlie Johnson ...No, 1 and 2 are plenty. That path has never given me any problem, mainly for the reason I have never been there and have no plans of going. Ever.
blipco5 😂
This was awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing this experience!
Never knew of this place before, sounds like a cool trail to learn how to ride a bike on!
Just don't forget your training wheels and you're good.
It's mostly downhill, you barely have to pedal.
Windy or not, this line is very scary and there isn't a single video that will ever do it justice. I love how much extra context you gave, it really helped paint a better picture.
Hey Phil
Why I don’t go pro my rides. Doesn’t ever do it justice.
Even on the go pro it looks insanely scary I can’t imagine it in real life.
my question is, "Why the helmet?''
missed you this year!
"a high likelihood of die." basically sums up this entire thing
In other words, getting diagnosed with “no-air-in-lungs” syndrome.
@AlexdaGuy not quite different than the life in general. Just the timing. 😂
I'd rather stay inside and die from coof. Less scary.
High risk high reward
@Anthony Chen 😆
I was sleepy before starting this video. Now I'm anxious and pumped.
This video’s title was ahead of its time
My buddies and I were the riders down below cheering after you dropped from the upper to lower line (we stayed quiet until we were sure you were stable). We were out for the Sedona MTB festival and were getting a great Friday ride in on Broken Arrow where we saw you from Chicken Point. We were able to get in Hiline loop and the Hog's trails also that Friday as we knew it was going to rain on Saturday. It was super cool to see you two ride the White Line
John Paterson hell yeah, that’s pretty tight. I’ve always wanted to get into biking!
Thats true i was the line
It was me
Bigfaxtsx3 nope it was me. What state is this in?
Bigfaxtsx3 no this was clearly me
Who would win?

Seeing this line i think nope, hearing seth say its worse in person was a nope, watching seth stop and not complete the feature the first time it was a triple nope. So dope that you went for it. Killer skills dude.
03:25 “I’ve never been afraid of heights”. Me either. It’s when there’s a likelihood of falling that l get nervous.
Its like Red Dead Redemption but a bike instead a horse.

That really doesn't look fun enough to risk your life for. It doesn't look difficult or skilled, just if you happen to fall off you die. Not worth it

They seem to not even notice how close they were to death at the very end.

Hi Seth and greetings from Germany. As for the white line: way to sketchy for me but impressive to see somebody actually ride that thing. But what I really love about this video and yourself is the approach at life, when you do the tire lick. Totally pointless and exactly for that reason totally awesome. Isn't it becoming more and more difficult as we grow older to constantly keep reminding ourselves about the importance of staying a child at heart sometimes? Stay that way. And thank you for the inspiration and your interesting and entertaining content. Wolf
Thank you for emphasizing safety. As someone who has injured themselves pushing for a goal I wasn't ready for yet, it's wise advice. You can always back when conditions are better - be that more grip or more practice. But you CAN'T come back if you hurt yourself.

Why is this so funny to me
Just "Jedi mind trick your tires" and you'll be fine. Nice explanation bro.
I was concerned about the technique required, but now I know I've got this. I don't own a mountain bike nor have I ever but should I ever be faced with a white line, I'll just Jedi mind trick my tires.
These are not the tires you are looking for.
Absolutely terrifying. Nice job!
I was very happy to see you make the 180 turn. Nice one.
The gopro effect is a real thing. Dropped into extreme terrain with the crew on our snowboards and a friend watching the footage later says "That didn't look that steep". Thanks for the input, Mr. I struggle on blue runs 😂
Imagine if he did the turn and found out that his GoPro wasn’t recording
There was enough cameras recording that they would have had some footage
He clearly did it more than three times this day.
fucking sd card error
Hahaha, i liked the last part (Manual + licking the tire) awesome vlog sir. From Philippines 👊
I've got goose bumps watching
"Well there haven't been any that actually died yet"
Very reassuring thanks
With your help, we can change that
Probably bc their bodies werent found
You can be the first!
That's because most of them are proffesional riders
And trust me they r very much skilled than us 😂😂😂
@@drewder1789 😂🤣
I remember going to Sedona as a kid with my family and we took one of those Jeep tours along the boulders and we pulled up next to the white line and watched some of the most badass bikers I’ve ever seen going for the white line. I thought they were insane because it appeared to be a straight up drop and but these guys had zero fear whatsoever and just sent it. That’s something that I’ll never forget and this video brought back that sweet ass memory for me to cherish once again
Cool
haha 69th likr
For me Redbull hardline or Rampage is more of a Wow, than some kind of a trail where you play with your life.
I went to Sedona before and it was really cool! We stayed at the Hilton and went hiking around bell rock, and then we drove up to the air strip to watch the sunrise
@@chory1827 they both put your life in the line, rampage is a more badass way of doing it
The "licking the tire" thing was absolutely hilarious. Surprised he didn't burn his tongue XD
In climbing, his description of the hardest parts would be considered The Crux or A Crux. The true crux is the hardest part for you. The exposure is quite impressive
"I've matured as a mountain biker overall"
*Cuts to attempting to lick another person's tire while both riding down a road*
That clip was a week ago, before he was a matured mountain biker
"I am now the most experienced I have ever been." Just FYI, you will always be the most experienced you have ever been.
Lmao
Not if you get exploded by a creeper
Not if you forget shit
Alzheimer's would like to have a word with you.
Not accurate. Take 3 years off. Suddenly you're bambi on ice.
I’m only half way through. Your apprehension is palpable and relatable…
I'm also not afraid of heights - climbed, hangglided, paraglided and skydived. With all of those things the 'perception' of danger, i believe, is more than the 'actual' danger. This, on the other hand made me nervous to even watch! You guys have great big, high-tensile steel balls. 😁👍
Next time you should do it on your unicycle.
great idea!

You haven't so far!
I just recently took a trip to Sedona, rented an Evil Reckoning and stood on the rock below where all the people were at watching you, and man oh man.... this line is SOOOO much more sketchy in person.
3:44 that rock. God it was so fun riding out there... maybe one day I’ll be good/confident enough to hit the line... but probably not LOL
Hahaha we also took our jeeps out there too, and those Pink jeep guys are so great, super friendly and funny.
“It’s not worth it for a video”.
You’re underestimating how good this video could be.
Great storytelling as always Seth. Huge props for hitting that. I'll never ride it.

well no, maybe back in your youth you rode your bike a lot but then stopped and didnt ride it for a few years and youll lose your experience.
That's just not true. I used to mountain bike when I was a teen, but fell out of the hobby after my bike got too old and run down to ride. Now I'm trying to rebuild my muscle and confidence.
Bro, 3:55 is the wisest decision I've ever seen on a video like this, most people would have really pushed it. Super good call my dude, life is far too valuable!
I don't know if riding the Line would be a dream...or a nightmare !

One of the most asked questions I got when I rode it was "why?"
I don't really have a good answer other than.. "its there..."
there’s no feeling in the world like being up there, and you’ve got to admit it makes you feel alive
@@SethsBikeHacks Great decision, I'm super impressed with all your content, but none of it is worth risking your life.. youtube doesn't care if you make it or not..... wait you done it... I never watched the end... Not worth it..

That's the famous quote about Mt. Everest, right? I think it was from the first guy who ever reached the summit, and he was asked why he did it, and he said, "cuz it's there."
It's from George Mallory who in nineteen twenties famously perished on the way to the summit....
"This was a little more engaging" lol

“Well... there hasn’t been anybody that’s died... yet.”

I pushed the limits of snack sneaking when I carried a box quart of milk into the theater.

I walked on like a champ, wasn't stopped, and enjoyed my milk while watching X-Men: Days of Future Past. : )

I can't believe they do this without gloves. My palms would be sooooooo slippery.
A lot of bikers wear gloves for this reason. In 70 degree weather I get sweaty so I wear gloves to maintain grip on my handlebars

Thank you for the AWESOME Video!!!! I just got my new mountain bike and I love 2 hours from sedona. However….I think I’m gonna sit that one out for awhile haha. At least till I’m 100% confident in my skill lol. Are you part of a riding club at all? I would love to get to know people to go with
First, I rode Berm Peak last September and thought it was great, nice work! Unfortunately I went OTB at Kanuga a few days later and had six ribs, my sternum fractured and seven compression fractures from c7-L1. But the Mission hospital icu was great! Here in Sedona and want to see the white line but I wouldn’t ride it either. Did the portal trail in 89-91 but I was young and dumb. Congratulations on saying no
