Visiting Bentonville? My Favorite & Worst Trails 

You should have titled this video. “Evan trying to make friends for 20 minutes”

Gmbn missed out!

Evan. The bike tech videos that is where you shine. 🥇 Thunder Dome - Stay in the left line and pain attention to cut-outs to the left. 1:03 1:41 On Case & Desist 11:40 cut out left for sectioning - Ride more.🚲

Pretty sure Seth doesn’t like being treated like a celebrity so just talk to him like a normal guy. Just talk bikes and forget he even has a channel 🤟

Blake from GMBN did Choo Choo by jumping the berms. Any trail can be fun with some little imagination, my dude.

I’m glad that i discovered you. You’re doing very good stuff. Keep it up man

My dji action 3 arrives tomorrow stoked to try it out! Nice video keep it up!

2:28 glad you mentioned Esther’s to get over to the north end of Coler. Besides taking you to Family Flow, but there’s a fun tech section towards the other end.

Evan it got to be said your videos are better than the stuff coming out of GMBN .Keep going, you are an inspiration to us all.

Dude. Your ride audio and video are so smooth now. Well done. Also, totally get the nervousness will others in the industry. Ask what their favorite trails are here, and recommend your faves. Gets the Convo going

Nice to meet you today Evan! Keep making great videos!

Evan your such a gem 👍 thanks for the video.

Great meeting you today man. Thanks for the shoutout and hopefully see you tomorrow!

Sometimes I wanna move there to Bentonville to just ride! Ha! I miss that place! Great video. So informative!!

If you ever get a chance go ride the lake ludwig trails in Clarksville Arkansas. We put a lot of work into building those trails and they turned out quite awesome! Only an hour and half away from Bentonville.

Good video Evan keep up the good work and you’ll get past 100,000 subs

Can't wait to come down and hit some of those trails. Maybe I'll run into you and you can give the kiddo some pointers for his next MTB video. Love your content Evan.

Wish I could cross the Pacific and visit Bentonville this weekend . And if I did , the one youtuber I would prefer to meet is. . . Chad ! Seriously , yourself and Henry from Pinkbike are my favorite MTB presenters . Have a great weekend . Thanks for the content . Cheers mate .

Big fan of normlmtber. You are celebrity Evan! Haha. Just have a casual convo see where it goes. Colabs would be awesome!

Leopard sloop is pretty fun new to mountain biking but still not confident with leopard loop yet

9:13 Evan everything is more fun on a hardtail 🤪

Just casually has small chat with GMBN’s Rich Payne… “His name was probably Will or something” lmao.

Must say only a minute into the video and the pov shot are 3 times better then before! Not sure why guess u have changed something, that’s awesome to watch!

Cool bike. I like the color too. You mentioned you upgraded the bars- what did you choose?

I worked at a bikepark in wales for a few years and met 90% of the big uk riders ..don’t be shy just start a conversation most are great dudes.

Hit up Bike Fest today. Great weekend to have it. Weather is perfect

Ooh, i saw that clip of the forbiden in the skills park, review soon?

nice job on the KOM

Hey Evan, can I ask what mount you have for your Karoo 2?

Haha that’s crazy! Jeremy jones is the dad of one of my friends! He lives just down the street from me. Gotta come down to Utah one time!

Definitely say Hi to everyone you want to! And don’t worry about what to say, just be their friend! People appreciate that.

What happened to the audio in the last third? It's completely out of sync with the video

You say, “can we ride together? Where you riding this weekend?

I just got an ebike and it makes EVERY trail fun. Evan have you ever thought about testing one out?

Would love to see some cross over content in case you meet your guys

GMBN guys are cool,hung out with them at Sea Otter

Evan u have amazing videos but whats that 'mini phone' on ur bars.

My neighbor is out there right now. I was hoping you might see him 😂

What camera are you using for POV?

Are ur glasses prescription looking on getting inserts for my goggles from sportrx but I love yellow lens

Don’t ever be afraid to ask ppl anything, I mean what do you have to lose… you won’t lose us dude!

Don't worry Evan. You are my Seth

Gmbn is just feeling threatened by the new guy who is clearly having more fun.😂

Premiere time lets gooooo

What happened to the last alchemy frame(was a different color)?? Did it crack?

14:52 one guy did move

14:53 bro spittin fax

There is no better way to get down the hill from Coler Grove than down Thunderdome. I have spoken.

Choo Choo is a training tool!

Sick❤

You have at least two british fans Evan lol (me and my brother)

It will be interesting to see your 'fest videos but I'm sure you did fine. Nervous is ok, it's genuine instead of cool-douchy. You could always just wear some subtle channel merch and they'll notice.

You definitely gotta ride with the other RU-vidRS!!! Have fun. Get crazy/creative!!!!

Bro, no need for the imposter syndrome. “Hi I’m Evan from Evan’s MTB Saga RU-vid channel. I enjoyed >. Anyway, these are my local trails. Happy to show you around my favorite trails or maybe do a colab if you’re up for it. “

Don't be wierd. Say "hello, big fan" and that's it. 😂

I recommend you be yourself - as you’re cool dude! Don’t be too pushy… I’m sure these dudes have a full on schedule so even if they genuinely wanted to it would be tough. Yes they know who they are and maybe the pride comes with the territory but be professional and be yourself. Reach out to their squad, ask different people to put you in contact with the right folks. Maybe you’ll be on their schedule for next year 😂🤣 or sooner my guy! Banter is always a great way to break the ice and start a convo. Trust these collabs will happen in due time. Just a numbers game

love the videos!! just started my channel but haven't posted anything

Evan using AI to enhance his video is pretty crazy!

Dig the climb-to-fun judgments. And showing how you got from one trail to the next. I'm heading down for the week of the Fourth and stay directly across A from Leopard's. My third time down, but still so many trails I haven't hit.

How low of PSI are you running for that area? 25psi was more than enough grip for everything I rode when there

Just ask if you can tag along or ask if they want to tag along with a local rider.

1:16 what was that horrible noise landing off of that drop?

What cycling computer do you use?

I remember rich drew is from bentonville. Better hit him up. I think 2 personalities like you and him could match up pretty well

Who needs parking when you have a bike 0:35

You are doing an excellent job of blurring the thin line between “go getter” and guy that is trying way too hard. I like your motivated attitude and have no problem with it. Your success is a direct result of your ambition and hard work to be a RU-vidr. But the way you approached the first GMBN guys came across a bit cringey.

what state is this? It is MTB paradise. I need to hit those trails

Matty Active was the same way about meeting you as you are about meeting Seth. I guess it's all relative

I need a hydration backpack like that 5:30 in my life.

What mic do you use?

I love leopard’s loop. I was in Bentonville around new years with my family and one of my friends family and we stopped at leopard’s loop thinking we’d be there for a few minutes then we ended up being there for around two hours. It’s so fun!!

Just talk to any of them like a normal guy! Remember we’re all just trying to ride bikes after all

My guy

Seth is like 5 feet, dont be scared!

Nice one Evan . UK subscriber here , Rich was a bit salty and you were so friendly, Neil was just Neil, serious guy but at least he spared some time for you . Keep being you Evan !!!

What state is this in?

Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe...almost no trails

Also I’m so nervous and shy that I don’t talk to any other mountain bikers. I just don’t have anything to say 😅

Will you able to sell another bike?❤

what is the gps?

Scrub for dough 🤘

Can I be a GMBN presenter Aye Matey? 😅 I lol'd hard.

Them gmbn guys don't seem too friendly

Man I have to comment because it was so spot on. I just recently made a video about dumb dumbs around in the trail. Your comment was good. Are people really that dumb? I guess so. Post a video on what not to do with all of that fun stuff.

I see you had a halfshell helmet on I thought u didn't like those

Dude just ask the dudes to ride and talk about bikes. Don't make such a fuss about 'youtube' stuff. You're all just bike nerds, like us, so just embrace the nerdiness, and ride.

oh god a nice paved easy climb?!?! Sounds like you've never climbed on this thing call a uptrail.

dude in my city we have 3 trails at least

At about 15 min, I lost your speech? Your music was there but couldn't hear you.

Evan, I suggest you start with the more down to earth independent youtubers. Seth seems super chill, he’d probably do a segment with you.

I get that the title is kinda clickbait - and that I totally fell for it - but there simply are no "worst" trails in Bentonville.

I wouldn't say im a local RU-vidr. Just say what's up!

I'd say stop overthinking the conversations with these "celebs" so much dude! Walk up to them, chest out, and have a great conversation with some fellow riders. Who cares how popular they are!

Get an AI voice changer to overlay anime girl voices in your lost audio lol

Is it just me or Choo Choo didn’t used to be paved?

What exactly is AI here?

Don’t treat them like a celebrity. Your both doing the same thing.

I think a better intro would be, “Hi I’m Evan an ex-BMX racer and now I’ve built about 20 mountain bikes on my RU-vid channel. I’d love to talk bikes with you sometime.”

Why would choo choo and Thunderdome be your least favorite trails? They aren’t even bad, there’s so many other trails that I have no idea why you would consider those. How about “Here’s Johnny” that trail is horrible to ride in coler. Just not a great representation in general.

What ever you do, don’t slap the celebrities
