Thanks for appreciating Bentonville for what it is. That roll in to Berm Creek always feels janky.

Just as bad as the Stans darts which are cheaper but just as rubbish

As a fellow big guy. I sent my coil shock to avalanche racing suspension out of Connecticut. Holy cow man you give him your bike weight riding style and he completely rebuilds it for you and your bike. I love my coil shock for my evil offering.

Man I’m so glad I got back into mtb. As of January 2024 I was 330 lbs and hadn’t rode my bike in 6 months. Not to injury but just from lack of motivation. Has of today 7/5/24 I am down to 255 and have been riding as much as I can and makes is way easier to bike and so glad I came back across your channel. You got it brother now have motivated me even more to get down in the 220s

Nothing better than hearing these a-hole “influencers” complain about how amazing Bentonville is. 😅😅😅

Awesome video brotha!

90 seconds only telling these tubes are expensive. Yeah, like that’s a fact I didn’t know before…

It is extremely difficult to overcome one's biology. We evolved always being on the brink of starvation. So we naturally crave salt, fat and sugar. Remember discipline is doing something you don't want to do. Changing lifestyle/habits is very difficult. Once that change becomes normal it becomes much easier but it takes a while. I don't have a e-mtb so can't say from experience but others that do have said it has made them more fit cause they ride much more, more often. Just don't let the e-bike do all the work. Maybe the new Nebo could do it. Be more active in your regular everyday stuff. For example when parking at work or a store, instead of parking closer to the door park at the farthest spot, instead of elevators take the stairs. Those nickles and dimes adds up to dollars.

The Cuyuna area in Minnesota is kinda like this

You caught me on your video walking into the Bentonville Bike Fest right in front of you! Too funny! We were both probably at Sedona as well. Dang tornado totaled out my bike van though. Ride on!

I think its the variety and how embedded mountain biking is in the community that makes it the mountain bike capital of the world.

Spend some time at hand cut hollow or back 40 next time. Those have the more natural feel you may like.

I agree with everything you said. I have tons of natural trails near me in the St Louis area but the features and jumps are more limited or on intimidating runs. Bentonville takes a person that doesn’t do jumps and gives you baby steps. Literally you will see tiny kids doing the beginner jumps and say to yourself, “why not?” Next thing you’re doing blue rated jump lines, casing some but maybe clearing some and still feeling comfortable. So many riders around me say their wheels don’t leave the ground. I dare them to go to Bentonville and not try some drops or jumps.

I am not a mt biker but I ride a ebike and a Harley Tri Glide but that looked so cool at the fest. Sorry for the Storm I pray no one was hurt.

Everything you didn’t like is exactly why I want to go there. We have nothing but pedally/rocky cross country or long natural janky tech, I’d love some fast flow trails.

Just stumbled on your channel with this video. Thanks. Never been to B’ville, but it’s on the list. Just moved to the top of the list, especially with my terminally intermediate wife and 7y/o son. Seeems right up their alley. 🤜👍

Thing about PA is we don't really have "runs" like out west unless you're in a few select places, or a bike park. It's more XC style traversing loops with climbing and descending intermixed, people going both ways on the trail, and def. technical AF. You really need to keep your speed/momentum up in our tech and let the 29in wheels do their thing. Going slow is a lot more work and effort than just going up a gear and feeling the burn in your legs for a couple mins. Also, you forgot to mention that fully rigid, no dropper bike likely had 26in wheels too, which is also WAY harder, lol. In my opinion, the best kind of MTB for this area is a 29in, 120 rear, 130 front, short chain stays and not something super slack because of the tight trees and often winding trail layouts. I was riding a fully rigid Surly Krampus for a couple years and the looks people give you today with everyone on an enduro bike is hilarious.. Especially when I pass them.

Loved NWA so much we moved here and honestly the hardest part about living here is trying to figure out what to ride everyday, I need like a spinning wheel or something to point me in a direction lol. I was helping out a local shop at the Fest and the devastation was just so unreal. Great job on the video, spot on for sure!!

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is a fairly typical take for a rider with a limited skill set and a UA-cam channel. You allude to “higher level” riders not having much to enjoy here, I take umbrage with that. True higher level riders are able to take trails that seem mundane to riders such as yourself and get creative with them. Is Bentonville MY MTB Capital of the World? Easy answer, no. However, the majority of riders, as a percentage, are lower level riders and don’t really prefer to ride mountains. A place like Bentonville provides more opportunity, for riders of varying skill levels, than anywhere in the world and that’s why it’s the MTB Capital of the World. Now, if you claim to be a “high level” rider and felt it wasn’t challenging enough for you, I’d love to show you around next time you’re in town.

Man, this was really well put together video! Taking notes! Subscribed!

Went to Bentonville this past spring, for first time, with the family! We absolutely loved it and being close due to living in SC Kansas, it will now be part of our regular travels! Mountain biking FTW!

Love what Evan said about the hammer... it's unlocked so much more in my mind, progess in mtb is so rewarding.

For long and tech near Bentonville, there's a downhill park with shuttle in Eureka at Lake Leatherwood. Those trails are insane!

Nice clickbait title. "What other youTubers won't say about Bentonville", and the video is basically what every other UA-camr says about Bentonville.

Don’t want to sound mean but it is not and never will be the mtb capital. Like saying its going to take over California and Napa valley as the wine country capital. It’s great they are creating a great riding area for all but too many places try and lay claim to titles like this. You either have the terrain and scene to create it or you dont its that simple.

I've been wanting to get to Bentonville for years. This video makes me want to go even more!

What trail is this?

Can't wait to be able to go out there and ride.

Bentonville looks like an amazing place for biking, and it's definitely on my bucket list for places I want to ride someday

First time ive stumbled across your channel! What part of the Sac area are you in? Im Roseville born and raised and got into mtb riding only a few years ago.

Looks like my kinda place to ride! Trouble is it is really far from anywhere I'm at, and I don't think worth the travel given the other places I can ride that are closer, like the entire southwest, and where I live in BC, and winter in Tucson.

I'd consider everything in an hour drive from Bentonville to be the "area" of NW Arkansas. Bentonville is an important part of the story, but not the whole thing. There is PLENTY more riding outside of the hyper concentrated and beautifully groomed hundreds of miles of Bentonville/Bella Vista trails. Mt Nebo has 1000 vertical feet of loose and chawnky descent. Hobbs has some cool loops. Kessler Mtn is pretty chunky and natural. Devil's Den is awesome. Those are just a few spots within day trip range. And you have hundreds of miles of trail in the Ouachita national Forest 3 hours away and another absolutely pristine trail system (Northwoods) in Hot Springs.

Can't be the mountain bike capitol of the world if you ain't got no mountains! I'm just kidding! Bentonville looks like a blast. I grew up in the Rockies, so it's ingrained to poke fun at what folks on the eastern side of the US call mountains, but I would be stoked to visit.

Are you still using these? Have you tried Fox launch or launch elite knee pads?

Are you still using these?

It's really too bad Bentonville is in Arkansas.

ooooo, that’s a spicy line in xmas valley. i had to walk away from that one.

Ice ! Hope everyone survived that storm and are doing good ! I wouldn’t consider Bentonville east coast though. It’s southern Midwest .

It may not be the true "Mountain Bike Capitol of the world" ,but it sure is the most fun for every type of rider from beginner to expert/pro rider!

Good video but a lot of click bait. It is not any big mountain stuff

Awesome video and it was great meeting you at berm creek.

Did you ride Bella Vista. It's literally across the highway and has many miles on unmanicured trails. As a 57 year old UA-camr, I have no issue sending it on jumps. Maybe it's time to learn how to jump better...🤪 You don't have to go huge, but at least good enough to clear all these medium sized tables. Trust me, you will enjoy it a lot more. I mean that's why I absolutely love Bentonville, all the amazing jumps!!! Those Tornadoes sucked. We were in an Airbnb without a basement which was scary!
