Haleigh shouldn’t be embarrassed about crashing, the main thing is she got back up and conquered it! That’s a very positive thing to show people. You go girl!
Isn’t this like a world famous black? I actually know it is, just watching vids of this trail made me pucker and decide not to even bother renting a bike when I went to Sedona a couple years ago. Riding this trail and having a little no consequence bail, and then even session in, puts her easily in the top 5% of riders I would venture in terms of skill.
Right shes an insanely talented rider too like there is no way that id watch this see the crash and think she isn't very good in fact im not even close to that level of skill.
Dude, you are dead on about showing the crashes and then the valiant redemptions. Haleigh is the perfect example of this with her focus and terrific riding. Great stuff!
Started riding a couple years ago but I wish I had found mountain biking a long time ago. These kind of days is what life is all about. Thanks for the vid Alex!
Alexander you have inspired me through your enthusiasm and fun life with mountain biking. I would of never thought of living in a van traveling the continent to ride all the bad ass trails. I want to do the same thing! Love your content btw!
I watch some pretty awesome riders but nothing makes me feel the way you do when you ride . you bring fun, you bring laughter, you bring excitement, you bring adventure , and you bring the biggest smile to my face, but most of all, you send it ! your skill level and commitment to jump n drop has doubled so fast . Outstanding vlog post .
Everyone crashes. Glad you put it on the video and glad you OK. Its nothing to be ashamed of. In fact getting up and attempting it again and then acing it just means you rock!!! Awesome!!!
Dude She rocks. My husband has gotten me into riding super recently. I started a Meet Up for women (new not new) to go MTB riding in our beautiful area of Central Coast of Cali. I'm loving it and hope to be like Haleigh some day.
Love her helmet! Great vid! Thanks for this. She should not be ashamed! She rocked it a lot after that! Thank her for showing us we are all in the same boat.
The best kind of lady is a lady who rides MTB and is passionate about everything MTB. The hard part is finding one though, figure she’s one in ten million; I had such a lady in my life from late 2014 until early 2017. She was the most amazing person ever to come into my life.
Great stuff. Haleigh is a ripper. I am glad you do show crashes. If your not crashing your not pushing your limits. Pushing the limits equals improvement and more fun!
That looked like a great time. You guy should ride more together. Haleigh shreds and you two mesh well together, pushing easy other to ride even better!! Great video, Alex !
Haleigh shouldn't be embarrassed at all about wiping out....Every mountain biker has done it and still does, if they are pushing themselves to get better. You two definitely shred well together. I visited Absolute Bikes two and a half years ago, bought a T-shirt. That's what I collect as souvenirs on vacations, T-shirts or jerseys, from bike shops. I hope to some day ride in Sedona, because when I was there I didn't have my bike, riding gear, or the time.
Great Vid! Hailey, the crashing the climbing is all part of the mountain biking sport. The conquering of the crash section is inspirational! The both of you are great riders, way above my pay grade.
Alex, when I get back from Iraq, I'd love to go riding with you. You were my inspiration to start mountain biking and I can't thank you enough for that!
Great video, because it captured how much fun you were having! Haleigh is interesting on camera, which always makes for good footage. I hope you have some more videos of you two riding together. She's a really good rider...period, guys. Some people on the channel need to get over being so shocked to see females who can shred. It KILLS me how guys think they could ride a WC DH course and keep up with the women. I had a guy legitimately say, "Maybe not the top 3...but top 10." NO, NO, NO. Wouldn't happen. They would SMOKE us like we were riding on flat tires.
Love your videos man, you and Seth have inspired me to get into mountain biking, so stoked to get out on the trails in may. Keep up the good work brother!
That climb up Hiline can be a real punch in the gut....but as you experienced it pays off. Great to see a lady shred Hiline that hard! Alex, you should visit Flagstaff during the monsoon season next summer. We have some rowdy ass trails and you can visit Mother Road Brewery. Happy Trails & Keep Rippin It!!!
Alex and Haleigh - nice riding. I needed a dose of that life-giving Alex laughter! There are lots of HiLine videos. But this one and Phil's are my favorites.
Love your videos Alex. Your work, along with BKXC, have really inspired me to take the plunge and start filming some of my rides with my buddies on our local trails around Sydney (Aus) and producing videos. I'm so glad I've started filming some rides, you end up capturing some really special moments with mates......we recently did a jumping clinic, and me laughing like an idiot when one of my mates finally clears a gap jump is already one of my favourite MTB moments. Hopefully one day the stars will align and you'll be able to make a trip Down Under!
I enjoyed this video so much dude. Haleigh brings an awesome vibe to the video and you guys are both so fun to watch. The trails looked amazing and it’s awesome you can share your ride with us. Keep it up!
Dang, Haleigh looked confident on her bike. Certified shredder! It’s not hard to send it and go fast but to look solid and confident while doing so - that is the ticket! And to both of you, you guys went down that section so fast! I have ridden the trail once, and I crawled it. Such a good trail.
That's awesome that you've made it to Arizona. I've hiked on some of the trails in Sedona you were riding but haven't biked them yet. Can't wait to see what you ride next.
That's awesome you're in Sedona. I am in Scottsdale right now. First time in Arizona, rented a bike and just went on my first real mountain bike adventure in the McDowell Sonoran preserve. Hopefully my first of many. When I get back to Ohio I've got to get me a bike of my own
The mtb van convoy, touring the country side riding trails. Haleigh sheds. These are the videos l love to show my 8 year old daughter to inspirer her, to show that mountain biking is not just a boy thing and that girls can kick arse too.
Dang buddy, sessioning the most intimidating part of Hiline is BA! I walked a couple parts of that descent in 2014... probably wouldn't be alive typing if I had ridden them lol. Props to you both!!
Sitting here in Sydney over a bowl of cereal and loving this vid. Great riding, amazing place and tons of heart with you guys - thanks for putting this together! Think I'll just have to go for a ride now... Cheers from Oz - Dave (*Addendum:* all psyched with your energy I just did a quick hour ride here in a heavy storm - loved it!! It's good to be alliiiivveeee....).
Ginger cider sounds good. Just curious where you guys ate . I live in Phoenix and get up to Sedona several times in a year . I like Over the Edge bike shop there .
Watching this video with my 9 year old son this lazy Sunday morning, he says "Alex is always happy and laughing". And "his beard looks like dumbledore, but darker". Made me laugh and had to share.
I absolutely went OTB on that same section last time I was in Sedona, maybe I'll post the footage one day haha. Best of part of Mountain Biking is getting up, dusting yourself off and succeeding on the second (or third) attempt. Props to you guys!
Sounds like a fun bike; Ive heard the same sort of comments about the Nomad. What Id like to hear is what you think about the release 3; most reviews Ive seen are on the release carbon, which is great but pricy.
The minute a get a better job than papa Murphy’s I will definitely become a patreon Alex I live in Reno rn when do you think you’ll come ride out here and Tahoe next season?
where have you been riding it looks just awesome!!!! Always when I watch your videos I get stoked af. But right now we have not so nice weather in germany, and I‘m not the guy for muddy rides. Hopefully it will snow saturday, because I got some plus size tyres (3.0 inch) and I‘m so stoked to ride them in snow!!!!!
Yo Alex I can't believe you gave a shout out to Mother Road I love those guys, if you haven't tried there Tower Station give it a go it's definitely their flagship brew!!! Love the content still my man keep doing your thang!
@@The_Sampler Its always good to find that reset! It was weird to hear you down but, It was a reminder you are human like the rest of us. You have your own problems that you go through on the daily. Either way l always love hearing you stoked! Its what convinced me to get into mtb at 32 lol
wow big crash Haleigh glad you're ok and got straight back on the horse and crushed it! kudos for not hiding the truth. I wanna ride this stuff, especially Colorado one day, can I enjoy it on my hardtail or do I have to invest in the full-sus?

You guys need to ride together more. Very compatible. Makes for great video.
"I'm following you, you've got all the lines" - Alex's new pickup line.
Dude, you are dead on about showing the crashes and then the valiant redemptions. Haleigh is the perfect example of this with her focus and terrific riding. Great stuff!
Seriously... Haleigh SHREDS!!! Puts us to SHAME! 🤘😂🤘
Alexander, you make me smile and laugh. The energy and enthusiastic way of you taling, yelling (sometimes falling) makes my day! Keep shreddin'!!!
Started riding a couple years ago but I wish I had found mountain biking a long time ago. These kind of days is what life is all about. Thanks for the vid Alex!
"Do you wanna look at it or no?" Haleigh: disappears down the drop! Hahaha!
Yea she didn't even flinch!
The Singletrack Sampler hi love your videos please reply !!!!!
Huntstyle remover sunny d I’m his brother wassup
Remember sunny d I’m his brother
@@zuqers1843 haha what's up!
Alexander you have inspired me through your enthusiasm and fun life with mountain biking. I would of never thought of living in a van traveling the continent to ride all the bad ass trails. I want to do the same thing! Love your content btw!
"I could totally do this climb....if I wasn't so outta shape!". That's totally me.
I watch some pretty awesome riders but nothing makes me feel the way you do when you ride . you bring fun, you bring laughter, you bring excitement, you bring adventure , and you bring the biggest smile to my face, but most of all, you send it ! your skill level and commitment to jump n drop has doubled so fast .
Outstanding vlog post .
Thanks Brian!! To be fun is number one!! I also try to never take myself too seriously cuz after all... We're just pedaling around on two wheels
@@The_Sampler what an awesome bundle of excitement you are.

Repeating fun sections like that is a must! It's fuel for the stoke.
WOW, she has AMAZING skills, potential and in fantastic shape to climb terrain like that--Great to see the Spectral in action again, I have a 2018 6.0
Great Vid! Hailey, the crashing the climbing is all part of the mountain biking sport. The conquering of the crash section is inspirational! The both of you are great riders, way above my pay grade.
Alex, when I get back from Iraq, I'd love to go riding with you. You were my inspiration to start mountain biking and I can't thank you enough for that!
Nothing beats spending time with a companion that shares the love of something with you. Especially one so darn cute.
You, Seth and @SkillsWithPhil have pushed me to get back into mountain biking and I'm determined to be able to pedal trails like this eventually.
Great video, because it captured how much fun you were having! Haleigh is interesting on camera, which always makes for good footage. I hope you have some more videos of you two riding together.

How could anyone NOT have fun riding with you..the stoke is definitely contagious. And Hailey seemed really cool too. Great video.

omg, she's shredding like crazy! pretty jealous of guys like you two living the dream!
"RUclips made me do it." had the perfect timing. I see why you like this person.
I enjoyed this video so much dude. Haleigh brings an awesome vibe to the video and you guys are both so fun to watch. The trails looked amazing and it’s awesome you can share your ride with us. Keep it up!
Couldn’t agree more about showing the good and the not so good! What a great riding partner bud!
What a great video, Alex! You guys got along super well, and Haleigh was super rad.
I'd love to ride there some day. It's going on the Bucket List.
Dang, Haleigh looked confident on her bike. Certified shredder! It’s not hard to send it and go fast but to look solid and confident while doing so - that is the ticket! And to both of you, you guys went down that section so fast! I have ridden the trail once, and I crawled it. Such a good trail.
"I could totally do this! *whispers* if I was in better shape..." LOL! I think we all feel like this on rides!
That's awesome that you've made it to Arizona. I've hiked on some of the trails in Sedona you were riding but haven't biked them yet. Can't wait to see what you ride next.

If Sedona felt a bit chilly for you, down here in Phoenix it's about 10 degrees warmer and there are lots of places to ride.

I use the same tire combo, Assegai/DHR both DH case,best tire combo for DH performance but terrible slow to pedal. Great video!
Wanna keep up with Haleigh and her travels? Check her out on Instagram! instagram.com/haleigh.smith1/?hl=en
Happy to see the enthusiasm is back after the last 2 videos!
Awesome shred! She rocks! and is freaking flying!
Pretty sure I've seen her at some of the TX Trail Party Enduro races! Looks like a lot of fun.
Good to see your old friends! Hailey freaking killed it on the trails!
Dang buddy, sessioning the most intimidating part of Hiline is BA! I walked a couple parts of that descent in 2014... probably wouldn't be alive typing if I had ridden them lol. Props to you both!!
1st time commenting ... One of your best vid's..... thoroughly enjoyed it and dug Haleigh and her vibe
Love that trail, such great views! Not ashamed to admit I walked some of those spots!
Haleigh you’re amazing! Nice to have you in the channel, cheers both!
Haleigh scored straight up respect! Thats serious jank on Hiline and when damp, that really sketch! Y'all killed it!
She is mental! Seems such a cool person to hang with. And she can shred way better than I can dream of so thats cool too.

The trail looks great and the views are absolutely incredible. Great video.
Wow, she shreds. She's super cool too. Need her in more videos!
I would keep her close.. that kind of woman is very hard to find.. She seems like a honest, fun person and, ummm... she RIDES!! LOL !
Savage spotted 😆
Ginger cider sounds good. Just curious where you guys ate . I live in Phoenix and get up to Sedona several times in a year . I like Over the Edge bike shop there .
Alex........ More rides with Haleigh !!!!! You two are like peanut butter and jelly , so awesome to see
Sedona is sick! You coming south into Phoenix to hit the National trail next??? Gnarly trail!
Dude I love you passion for the sport, keep shredding!❤️
Watching this video with my 9 year old son this lazy Sunday morning, he says "Alex is always happy and laughing". And "his beard looks like dumbledore, but darker". Made me laugh and had to share.
Sweet video Alex you guys make a cool team. I would stay at this spot permanently if I had a van, sweet spot !! Great job..
I absolutely went OTB on that same section last time I was in Sedona, maybe I'll post the footage one day haha. Best of part of Mountain Biking is getting up, dusting yourself off and succeeding on the second (or third) attempt. Props to you guys!
I agree about the crashing comment...shouldn't be afraid to share those and be brave!!
Awesome. Far cry from the funk you were in in the beginning of the last vid.
Awesome video! More with Haleigh please!!
Love it! Haleigh rocks and should start a RUclips channel.
Your shredder dude, some hard section you guys just blasted down!
Sounds like a fun bike; Ive heard the same sort of comments about the Nomad. What Id like to hear is what you think about the release 3; most reviews Ive seen are on the release carbon, which is great but pricy.
dude we even got a Haleigh Yeeeeooooo! Aweome vid as always, So cool you got to see an old friend
I just rode that Slim Shady to Highline climb this week with The Crashing Dad. That is a bear of a climb!
Merry Christmas Alex. Hope you are having a great day.
Dude so cool to see you both back riding I can feel the chemistry. Man she can smash. Enjoy brother Stop breathe and soak it in.

Love Sedona! You should drive to Prescott if you get a chance, I’d be willing to show you some sweet trails!!
Haleigh wow what a great rider , she kicked your arse man 🤘🤘
Come down to Prescott Az to ride! Also, you should check out Sedona bike park!
Love the video! Can't wait to check out her van set up in the next one!
Haleigh is an absolute beast!
She has gotten SO MUCH better since we last rode!

It’s funny watching videos of my stomping grounds and seeing spots where I’ve eaten shit before, but on your channel....
So glad you are in a much better mood today!
I sure am. Getting to the warmer weather helped, and hanging out with a friend always lifts spirits.

Yewww! You remember Haleigh from wayyyyyy early on the channel?
The Singletrack Sampler yes! That was when the channel was gaining its format classic videos
