Walmart is Building Mountain Bike Trails!? 

I live less than 10 miles away from the trail

My friend goes to slaughter pen for races he does that track easy

I’m the GM at Dairy Queen right by that sonic you ate would love to ride with you and I got y’all on a free meal! Next time let me know!

I’m surprised the trails didint fall apart within the first day

Just so you know Soiltac is water and glue

Same goes to you in bc!

Thanks for the tips on jumping!

Your a sick rider Coop

Bruh ur awesome at mtb

Man, I cant wxplain how jealous I am. You have such amazing trails, right in front of your door

DJ DAVIE D ikr

My jr high and high school have a mtn bike team

I used to take kids riding as a job, loved it

The problem is that most children would end up breaking bones so...

Depending on which state ur in theres a program called NICA where its student athlete mountain biking and schools have teams.

Nah, he'll work at one of the Walmarts.

He could make money just towing in out of towers. Thats honest work right there.

My 11yo is homeschooled too. His PE is fencing and cycling.

@JAMISEN MELTON No? Well if the kid gets hurt he might get in trouble for letting a kid get hurt but he's recording everything.

I knew someone was going to say that

bob jalockowitz viathon bikes owned by Walmart actually makes decent bikes

Eric Dmochowski bit better than just decent ive seen

bob jalockowitz there looking to give back money to customers they steal from through lawsuits of injuries on their poor equipment

I'm glad, Walmart needs to stay in their lane more and stop destroying industries.

That is absolutely true....which is what makes it double jeopardy in some places with our loose over hard conditions! To be fair, there is not even a comparison to someplace like Whistler, which he cited, simply because that's LIFT ASSIST bike park action, with even the shortest runs being 1,200 ft. Eric is comparing it to something that's not even an option here, and if all of the trails were built to "coast down, and no pedal" he would have likely complained even more about how fast the descents are over with, right? He did diagram how the trails are built to extend the runs, which is accurate. I mean...if you didn't pedal on Fire Line or Cease...you would come to a dead stop, much less not be able to clear the features. My guess is that the next video may have more of the same comments about Coler. If he had gone to Eureka for LLW and GPP, then it would be a little bit more of a fair comparison to what he's used to back home. Even with that...we're still not on the same page elevation wise. It looks like they were seeking out the best sections, but I think one of the biggest allures of our area is how you can go on a XC ride and experience everything....rollers, berms, kickers, optional jumps, and mild elevation change, which makes for pleasant and fun riding overall. THAT is our strength, and to me the runs like Boo Boo, Cease, etc...are great, but that's only a part of what the overall picture offers. To me...the simple fact that NOTHING here requires a DH bike, says all people need to know about gravity riding here! Agree?

You guys are lucky for having such a nice MTB network. Whatever the guy said about charging to jump, I don't see a problem.I think it makes the riders stronger 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@@Capicua718 .... Agreed. When you are required to put in the pedal power, it helps develop your overall power output, and aerobic threshold. You definitely have to work a bit to keep speed on several of our lines, but what would people rather have....a minute or two long route with pedaling, or a straight down line that lasts 15-30 seconds where you don't have to pedal? It's really that simple, and I for one like having the climbs be commensurate with the descents, and with our limited elevation change, you can only do that by using that method. It also makes the trails more sustainable. There are some lines in the area that require less pedaling if that's a deal breaker for folks. They just have to stick to those. :-)

True

Wow I live in Bentonville too

Same here. And that Whistler step up crash never gets old. :)

Me too

Agreed

Not wrong

Dog with hat gang is everywhere

@A H these aren’t bmx trails

I live in Bentonville, so I can add some insight. If someone walks into Walmart and asks for a mountain bike, they give you directions to Phat Tire, the best of the local bike shops

A H go back to the skatepark and fight with the skaters and scooter riders you bmx scrub

Hey well soon Bobo, i feel for you!

Yeah! Thank you for the tour Cooper!

Hey Creezy I'm a fan

Easy to build trail with machines and a ton of money. I'm surprised they didn't just pave them all. I've been seeing all the videos of Bentonville trails and it is not inspiring. It truly is the Walmart of MTB trails.

The Walton grandkids are avid mountain bikers. They're the ones behind all of it with all of their resources. The mountain biking scene in Bentonville is great.

@@absolutemadman3993 you should. As the video showed, the trails are great and integrated into the town very well. Now as far as the mountain bikes that are sold in Walmart stores, I would suggest investing in a better built bike.

who needs brakes!!!

Haha yeah or Morrison’s 😂 the Waitrose ones would be well posh

Sainsburys would be really average

whats tescos

ASDA should😂 UK Walmart

Gaming Bot_64 a store in the UK

Aren't "gravity trails" called downhill trails?

@@jonathantierney7301 .... I'm just going by what people traditionally think of as a "downhill trail," which for most people is something closer to the gnar that you see on the World Cup, or larger national DH races, like Windrock for example. Those include difficult rock gardens, steep sections, some berms, jumps, and usually a few substantial ladder drops and rock drops. Flow trails are what most associate with something like A Line at Whistler, where it's intended to be pretty wide, usually not a lot of rock features that force technical riding, and mostly big berms and jumps that require a certain speed to clear them, based on the size of the features. Years ago, a trail in Slaughter Pen called Medusa had a flow trail that had table top jumps, a wall ride, and several berms. You could ride it just as fast on a hard tail as a DH bike. BUT...people referred to it as the "Medusa Downhill Trail." This was prior to the takeoff of RU-vid, so people would load up and travel to the area with their triple tree bikes ready for some intense challenges, ride down it once, and then have to push their bikes back up the return trail to ride it again. Many would keep searching the system looking for the "downhill" trail thinking they were in the wrong spot! They would show up at the LBS's UNHAPPY to say the least. So, because of that, I seldomly refer to anything around here as a "downhill" trail. We have a few within a few hours' drive that are closer to meeting that description, and one new system at the Buffalo Outdoor Center in particular, that has a lot of those components. We now have a HUGE mix of trail types in Bentonville/Bella Vista proper, but it gets even more diverse if you include the 2 hour radius around it.

Oof that hits close to home! I had no idea how serious that trail was, and a local MTB veteran recommended it, so me being the newb I was/am, full sent it. On the second jump or so I did a over the bars 180° in the air and didn't bail. 😂 Landed like a pancake flat on my back and somehow walked away with just some gnarly scratches. I was sooo lucky, and was able to keep riding (not on C&D ofc). That was my first real wake up call, and I can't imagine what would've happened had I landed on my head💀

Did u here how awkward his laugh after it was tho😂😂

Alejandro Matos I am making new bike videos of you want to check them out

How tf do you fall over while standing on your bike? 😂

@@XG-OFFICIAL-59 wel u stand and fall over cuz ur balance is shitty af

He didn t do any crazy stuff

I've always called them sidewalks 😂😂

Jonathan Tierney lol me too

Its been 6 months. Have you been mountain biking yet? I'm about to go mountain biking for the first time this weekend

I'm home schooled:)

I dont do homework and i had a 2.8 out of a 4.0 scale

Haha you sad wow who cares kid

Assault Loner You record Fortnite gameplay on a phone lmao

Yuka has no fear! Haha!

Fred Vaughn you want to live in Fayetteville bentonville sucks besides the bike trails.

Please move there!

I actually live in Bentonville it's really cool and fun here. Good location too.

Haha, totally 😄

I heard you mention it in the Joey podcast! 🙂 I tried to find a video where someone clears all the jumps on black Bird but could only find one and they were skipping some to make it work! Hopefully the massage the trail a bit 🙂

what’s the difference, if you don’t mind explaining?

WashiestDrop198 go check out a painting of a portrait, like the Mona Lisa for example. Then go check out a barn. Report back if you need further clarification.

Daryl MacLeod why not just tell them what you mean

Scott Black so much Falde info here

@@connorsletta1876 I've ridden them so.....

Scott Black I live in Denver and know of a larger Urban bike park within the metro area. Might interest you to know ruby hill was built and maintained by Denver parks and rec.

@@connorsletta1876 My good friend Sean works there. I've been in the Bicycle industry 28 years. Regardless, It's on the sign by the parking lot. With a grant from the Walton Family Foundation, among others. "Public/Private Partnership.

@@connorsletta1876 Winter Park (Owned by Denver) Trail Crew built it. Also, Boulder is a Suburb.

I watched your coler video! Keep sending it buddy!

Walmart employees get their bonuses, and buy HIGH end MTB's. So, a Walmart bike has a little different connotation here! :-)

Willbros yeah I was talking about the fad of people buying cheap Walmart bikes to take to bike parks for RU-vid videos...

@@thetrailtrawler2602 .... Oh I know, and nothing personal was meant by my comment. I think the most famous one was Skills with Phil just ABUSING a dept. store bike! Others have done it as well, but we all know how it's going to end. HOWEVER.... While people make fun of Walmart bikes, I believe there is value there. How many kids get Walmart bikes for X-mas from parents or relatives, and then get hooked? It doesn't take long to see the limitation of a $100.00 bicycle, but think of how many people get their first taste of cycling on a Walmart bike? We have a LBS here, Mojo Cycling, and they will work on Walmart bikes. What happens commonly is, the owners quickly realize that the parts and labor add up to more than the value of the bicycle, and with some brief discussion about it, many parents will opt to purchase a nicer bike if it's something their kids are really into. For adults, it affords them the opportunity to get out on the trails and see if they like cycling at all, before they spend more money on it. Think about it...for what you can do on a MTB initially, a Walmart bike is going to be adequate for a few rides anyway, and you would spend close to $100.00 just for a day's rental.

Willbros oh I totally agree they have their place in the market and if it brings people to riding bikes it’s money well spent!

Looks like the trails were built for Walmart bikes.

If they make it, who the fuck cares whether it's the 'right' way. This channel is built on pushing comfort limits and overcoming fear. Which is a great thing that doesn't need nerds like you to pipe up with your gatekeeping bullshit
