If you've been in the game for a bit, you know about demo bikes. Demo bikes can be found at festivals and mountain biking events, and they exist so you can try bikes for yourself before you buy them. At Bentonville Bike Fest, admission and bike demos are completely free of charge.
Thanks Visit Bentonville for Sponsoring my trip to Bentonville Bike Festival! I had a great time riding, bumping into my friends, and of course "testing" some demo bikes. No, they don't actually check your pulse. That was a joke.

The reason why they check your pulse is not to see your actual heart rate, it’s just to see if you have a pulse, period. They won’t let just anyone ride a demo bike.

@HelpfulPlez Год назад

I couldn't tell if every bike shop is in on the joke or if you guys were carrying around a stethoscope asking them to do it for the video lol.

I was unfortunately the guy that got blood all over the Nukeproof bike 😅I brought the bike back and said "yeah I got a massive shinner! I cleaned the blood off the grip as best I could, but you should probably get some antiseptic on there. At least those are my pedals so you don't have to worry about the skin on those" 😂Just like you mentioned in the video... I probably shouldn't have been doing drop the hammer on a demo bike.

Been a subscriber/follower since you built the first drop at berm creak....I often forget how far this channel has come since then. It's cool for me that I progressed as a rider alongside you and many others in this community. I was a big BMX guy up until my twenties and then found this channel and mountain biking in my early thirties...What a great episode this was. You are a true pro brother!

I haven't been on a bike in years...don't even own one but have been binging on this channel and BP-E...seriously considering getting a modern MTB that is comfy to sit on and ride to get back into cycling. Seth, your enthusiasm about the subject is infectious...maybe one day I'll be doing something different...but kind of the same?

@andredragon3870 Год назад

So in defense of eMTBs.... I fell on ice 2 years ago and broke my hip...at the age of 49. Late last year I started watching your channel and some others and got the itch to ride. In my younger days I rode Bidwell Park in Chico and elsewhere in the Sierra Nevadas and the Bay Area, but i wasn't sure if my hip would hold up. My Fezzari Wire Peak has made me feel like I'm in my teens/20s again. Minus my hair. Even took it on my first blue trail a few weekends back. Now shopping for a non-e gravel to go next to the Wire Peak in my lineup.

@funky-phantom Год назад

Bentonville really is a great place. I love short trails with mellow climbs. Can't wait to finally pull the trigger and move.

@bologna_meat Год назад

hey Seth i would like to thank you for the good content all these years. i recently got into mountain biking after watching your content for over 3 years. your under biking video inspired me to rig up an old specialized i found behind a dumpster and hit my local trails after riding 3 times i decided to buy a used bike and fix it up and i was inspired buy your flip bike series for that. i also built a few jumps in my back yard out of pallets and a few logs and your build vids were a hug inspiration for that. i rode trick scooters for a while and did bmx but after only 2 or 3 moths of mountain biking i can definitely say that it has been the most fun i have ever had riding bikes and i have had lots of progression i am now able to ride stuff that i though i would never have the guts to ride when i first started. so once again thanks for all the inspiration you give people and the hard work you put in videos.

@riccochet704 Год назад

The festivals at the Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC are also free admission. Just about every brand shows up to demo their bikes. Over 40 miles of single track to ride. It's a great way to test new bikes for free. When you're done shredding someone else's bike you can cool off with whitewater rafting. Or try rock climbing, zip lining, rope course through the trees. Or enjoy a tasty beer and food at their beer garden. Place is awesome.

Awesome video Seth! Just wrapped up a few demos here on the west coast. Often a fair bit of driving, but loads of fun and you meet amazing people. I was surprised a few brands (like Trek) offer no way at all to demo their bikes. I ended up settling on an Ibis. That demo completely changed which bike I was going to buy. Sometimes you’ve just gotta feel it for yourself!

@pauljs75 23 дня назад

I wonder if some of those demo-bikes make it to a bike shop at a discount? I figured it's possible because rental fleet cars do make it to dealership lots. Sure there's a trade-off for the mileage and possible abuse, but it may be a way to get a deal on a model that's a lot more expensive otherwise.

@kevinvallier5058 Год назад
