Just spent 5 days in Arkansas riding because of your videos. Drove all the way from New York. Keep up the good work you’re inspiring riders and showing us what all these amazing places have to offer. Met several riders that were out there because of you as well. Thanks for all your hard work!
I'm Northwest Arkansas native overly impressed with what's going on around here used to not be much of anything to do if you didn't own a boat I hope you had a great time welcome and come back can't believe you came all the way from New York peace out
This was the best mountain biking podcast interview I've heard to date. Selfless, empathetic, probing... and all done while riding some killer track blind. 👏👏👏
I really dig how you've been handing mics to the people you've been riding with. Not only do we get the POV camera and get to hear your commentary, it's awesome to hear the other rider's commentary even when they are far away from you. Excellent idea
I'm an Arkansas native who lives within 90 minutes of all of the NWA trails, Mount Nebo, and Devil's Den. I'm new to Mountain biking and I cant believe I have waited so long to get into the sport considering the massive amount of incredible trails that are so close by! I am very grateful for the work you have done in Arkansas! I sincerely thank you.
@@siradinar agreed. born and raised in Rogers and nothing like what's available at Slaughter Pen/Coler/Railyard/etc was around when I was a kid (90s/2000s). love that it's here now!
Trails are absolutely awesome . Turning into a real Mecca out there ! Gotta give a shout out to my heart surgeons who gave me a new aortic valve and triple bypass ! Hope to be out there someday soon on my Levo . So grateful to be still killin it at 70 . Thanks so much guys !
I’ve been mountain biking since I was a kid, and have a hobbyist trail builder since my teenage years. The organized effort that AR is putting into making their state an Mtb destination is quite remarkable. This trail is super impressive. Incredible incorporation of natural features. Hats off to the builders and some forward thinkers making it possible in AR.
I did this trail over the weekend on my hardtail. Most beautiful trail I have ever been on! Great work love the features and really flowy. MTB'er from Oklahoma and this was my first time I said "Dang I wish I had a seat dropper". Very Fun!!
I live 2 hours from Devils Den, I was there the opening day and went back a week later. The new additions are awesome, and even for an old slow guy the stoke factor was high. I have a few videos on my channel that covers more of the trails. We are blessed here in the Natural State to have so many new trails being built
This is, in my humble opinion, the best mountain biking channel on RU-vid. While I can appreciate other channels who have some crazy visuals, this channel adds the dialog which adds another level to the ride. For instance, listening to this guy who was awarded a million dollar contract for trail building is eye opening. I cannot imagine the logistics behind all of that but he goes into some of the leg work like staying up until midnight doing paperwork and payroll. These are excellent points to learn about because while we have the privilege of riding these trails, we never know what went on to achieve the end result. Thank you for sharing these videos. I subbed.
Whatever you believe in, it honestly is Devine intervention I came across this specific video!!! I was really caught up with where my next mtb trip will be but not anymore, no question I’m going here!!
Great video! And I can't wait until these trails open this weekend! We are so blessed here with amazing trails... Devils Den is just 1 of several new trail systems opening this year here in NWA 🤓
Just saw an article today about these new trails...now your video. Vacationing there soon for hubby's birthday week!! Your videos have definitely been helpful as to what to ride!!
BKXC just putting it out there my man, some of the terrain you blast down is way more gnarly than the majority of jumps/features you pass on. I have faith youll keep working on that cause you obviously have the capability to do it safely, push yourself and have fun
I dropped two ton of sand stone rock at my local trail in Woburn . The exciting part of this is , they came from a house Winston Churchill owned during the war, it was part of maybe a couple of hundred tons that was excavated during a refurbishment .
i live in fayetteville arkansas, NWA, and devils den is one of the coolest places out here. the amazing giant rocks and rockwork done by people years and years ago, really incredible. gotta thank the Walmart millions of $$ for all the MTB work up here, really been enjoying it
Man, that place looks amazing! Perfect example of leveraging the natural shape and bits of the land to make sick trail features. Can't wait to ride here someday. Keep up the good work!
I'm in Bentonville, so we have a lot of stunning trail and big money features. Nothing in the area competes with the natural beauty of those trails, and when I rode them, we didn't get to ride the advanced line. I will be there Thursday for the grand opening, and I cannot wait to hit the advanced lines, and see more of the stuff we missed back in early April.
Heya BKXC, watching your videos made me reserve a week to vacation in Bentonville in two weeks. Been adding the trails to the list of places I wanna ride.
Excellent on trail interview! It was so great to hear the crystal clear audio from you and the other riders. Keep up the great content. I’m jealous as ever, every time I see on of your videos.
My MIL lives right off Tunnel Vision on the Sugar Creek system in AR and I'm totally spoiled by the convenience when I go down there. Gonna need to do a day trip to Devils Den in the near future!
Sick glasses, sick trails and what great guys (you and the builders). I love your vids. You're an inspiration and have increased the size of my bucket list with the videos you make. Keep up the great work.
I live in BC, and the biking here is good, you've seen the pics and videos. I never thought of that part of the USA as worth a trip except for the historical interest, but Dee Eh Em Enn, those trails look sweet. Very different than my local riding, but in a really, really good way. Now that's on my list, who knew? Rock Solid indeed.
