- In February 2020 I went back to Bentonville Arkansas for my second time and it was even better than the first time.

You totally sent it Kyle! Alright next time you get up to Bentonville, let me know - I see a colab coming for sure!
Thanks so much Josh! I would love to do a colab with you. You're welcome here in Texas, but I'm always down for a Bentonville trip. I hope you are well during this crisis!
I would love to see that!
I'll be there around the first of next month
Dude Kyle! From a guy who’s seen a lot of Bentonville videos, this is the best one I have seen! Awesome job man!
Well thanks man! That means a lot! You were absolutely ripping it out there.
I feel like I’m about 18 months behind you in my MTB journey and, as always, you’ve given me another bucket list place to travel to. Keep up the great vids as it pushes people like me to keep getting better on the bike.
I'm stoked to hear that man! You will feel like a better rider after visiting Bentonville.
Man, you really captured how fun this trip was bro. 🙌🏼 AMAZING job on this one! Can't wait for part two!
Thanks Scott! It was just the best trip, and I'm excited to edit part two!
So awesome! NWA for the win! I can tell you that on the day you posted this the trails are already different! More soil-tac on more trails and new trails! This place is CRAZY!
Yeah it's completely nuts to me. You guys will never get bored riding there. Very fortunate to live up there!
Your progression is so badass, excited for the second video !!
Thanks! I'm excited to make it!
Rad tumble down the hill. Looks like you followed him straight off. Target fixation is a beotch.
You riding has progressed so much! Keep it up.
Thanks Stefano! I was totally staring at that dude wondering what he was doing, and before I knew it we were soul bonding lol.
This fall I'm starting my first semester at University of Arkansas (only ~30 minutes from Bentonville.) Coming from a home that's upwards of an hour from any really good riding, I couldn't be more excited to be so close to so many awesome trail systems.
Congrats on going to school, and even more exciting you can ride these trails anytime you want. I went to college in Florida and we didn't have any trails like this. I also wasn't mountain biking back then, but long story short....You're gonna have an awesome time at college.
Cool stuff, congratulations on your progression. I've heard nothing but good things about Bentonville and this is proof, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks! You should absolutely go there if you get the chance. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I got home.
I freakin' LOVE Bentonville! I can't wait to try out their SoilTac trail! Awesome video man!
Thanks Patrick. The SoilTac is a pretty neat experience. Like a soft, grippy, pavement. Loved it!
great to see you back out there! Some day we will get there :)
Thanks my friend! You've gotta check this place out!
Awesome video I had been waiting for you to post. You were Crankin that MTB.
You taught me how to crank it!
@@CobraKyle awesome footage.. enjoy the story telling just as much. What a big improvement in your riding l..step up to the big drop 🤘🤘
Sick Vid bud!
Thanks dude! I'm glad you were there. Looking forward to riding again.
Remember when we could high five? This place looks like so much fun, thanks for sharing!
Commie! Lol
Funny how quickly we miss the little things like that comrade!
I know it's so true, I cant wait to get through this so we can get on with whatever our new normal is. Appreciate your content, thanks for doing it!
Really impressive riding Kyle!! As always, I hate the crash though!
Thank you! I got lucky on that crash.
You and your friends have pretty good skills with your bikes! Would be afraid of those drops!
Thank you! It takes a lot of practice, but eventually bigger things appear smaller.
Awesome video Kyle! When this virus ends I’d love to visit bandera bike park!
Thanks Dane! You'll have a good time at Bandera!
I haven't been there yet, but it's on my list after the apocalypse ☹. Glad to see you weren't seriously injured on that crash 👍👍
Great destination Ken! Hopefully the world is back in order soon. Would be fun to all meet up here and have a big crew ride! I got very lucky in that crash. Would have sucked if it was a cliff there lol.
Awesome stuff Kyle can't wait for this shit to be over with so we can meet up and do another MTB trip!!! So pissed about Moab next week
Thanks Mike! Yeah that sucks you couldn't go to Moab. I'm getting pretty tired of sitting inside. It has given me time to catch up on things I've been neglecting around the house, so that's helpful. Once this pandemic is over, it's straight back to the trails!
@@CobraKyle for sure man
Awesome video! I'm a local and you did this place justice, nice riding! If you haven't made it over to Coler MTB Preserve, you are missing out, it's just a 5-10 minute pedal west from Downtown and has some incredible trails, and a full-time trail crew working out there daily.
Thanks a lot! That means a ton coming from a local cause I know there are about a billion videos on Bentonville. Coler is great too. I'm actually editing a video about it today and should be up this Thursday. I appreciate you checking out this video man!
I did the exact same thing on bush bush haha I was so close and collapsed lol. Awesome video!
haha for real! There was a steep lip right at the top and I could not physically push past it. Sucks to fail right at the end, but I'm considering it a win as that climb was tough!
Cobra Kyle I said the same and considered it a win haha being that I was the only one to attempt it while my group watched lol. I know that climb is huge so props to you sir.
Walton family has given a great gift to north west Arkansas with these trail systems ..the Walton grandsons are huge mountain bikers and keep building and promoting these trails ...
It's awesome how much they've done there. I love coming to Bentonville to ride, and through riding I've discovered it's just a cool town in general!
Cobra Kyle I’m getting ready to move back there ..I live in Eureka Springs now ...I love Bentonville, it’s a great place with lots to do and great places to eat ..
Cobra Kyle they are far from being done I know people who know people 😁 they have way more planned including a trail from Bentonville to Eureka Springs and more trails in and around Eureka Springs...also a ski type lift for mountain bikers here in Eureka Springs
I live in Bentonville and I’m glad you love it!
You're very lucky to live there! I think I'll be back up there in February!
Haha, I've gone off the trail on that Boo Boo drop a couple times....it just funnels you over! Nice video!
lol glad I'm not the only one. It's quite a misleading drop!
Kudos on making it that far on the Bush push. If you have never seen it, it's challenging to walk your bike up it. I have often thought that it needs to be a UA-cam presenter challenge. Outerbike will be here in November.
Thanks! The camera doesn't show how steep this thing is. I was supposed to go to Outerbike last year, but it rained too much and I cancelled. I'm hoping to come back up there sometime again this year!
Bro your laughing just made me crack up. Your getty like a preschool girl. Oh and I'll be up there here towards the 1st of next month
Everything is built so good here, it's impossible not to giggle with delight.
@@CobraKyle well I probably will be giggling also
Did you take your hardtail? Speaking of hardtails I am about to be the proud owner of my first mountain bike
I did take my hardtail! I only rode it on this day, and used my full suspension the following days. Congrats on your first bike! What did you end up getting?
Cobra Kyle I am getting a 2020 Rocky Mountain growler 20, with a few upgrades like a dropper post and a better fork.
I had a blast in Oct. 2019 at the outerbike event, i just cancelled my flight and hotel for April 17-24th, I want to take my new bike out there soon!
I was planning on going to the Outerbike, but the weather kept me away. Sucks you had to cancel in April, but I understand. What new bike did you get?
Cobra Kyle I bought an Evil offering with a150 mm fox factory grip fork, fox factory dpx2 and set of i9 305 enduro with orange hydra hubs. Bike is baby blue color. Oh! And a few orange spokes
Cobra Kyle oh! First ride was at reveille peak ranch last Sunday
@@renerios2484 So nice! That's a really epic bike. Glad you got to go to Reveille. One of my favorite places!
That climb! OMG!
It's super tough! I usually don't like showing climb footage cause most people find it boring, but thought this one was worth the exception.
Cobra Kyle man I like watching hard climbs. I was like “he’s got it, no he’s down!”. I’m sure you wanted to cry
When you asked "So what's the next logical thing to do?" I expected you to say move there. That's what I did. haha
haha very nice! I've considered moving here. I hope I can someday!
No one ever mentions the amazing cross country trails. Hobbs, Blowing Springs, Mt.Kessler and more are top notch.
I'll be sure to check some of those out next time I come up there!
Epic Spill! Glad you were okay. Would you recommend Bentonville over Angel Fire?
Thanks! That's a tough decision. They are both fantastic. I think Bentonville offers more variety if you are interested in pedaling around and exploring. Angel Fire is super fun especially if you have no interest in climbing and wanna go fast. I would say go to both if you can!
One of these days when I grow up I'll make it to Bentonville and ride with the big kids. LOL
Ninja Punch how old are you if you don’t mind me askin?
@@ryanrayburn1894 I'm a retire military member. It's a running joke. You can even call it a bad dad joke. It just means I would like to be able to improve my riding the same way yourself or Kyle has done.
You can do it Ninja! Go out there and karate chop those trails!
Cobra Kyle, sick name. What gloves are you rockin in this vid? Good job on vid, well done.
Thanks a lot Alexander. I wear the Leatt DBX 4.0 Lite gloves. A bit pricey, but I highly recommend them!
I was just there in the beginning of March. Was amazing. Did you hit Ozone? It was probably one of my favorite trails and we only found it by accident looking for choo choo haha.
We just missed you! We were there last weekend in February. We didn't ride Ozone....didn't even see it. It's crazy how many trails are there. Always giving us a reason to come back!
Cobra Kyle absolutely. I’m definitely going to go back. Yeah man, when you go check out ozone. I had never seen it on a video or heard about it. Totally hidden gem. Somewhat rough tech trail but plenty of flow and some good climbs as well. It was just off all American trail
I really need to get up there sometime!
Yes you do! You're also a couple hours closer to it than me, so first place you should go when this is all over!
Love your B'ville videos. Drop the Hammer is one of the best sections i've ever ridden. How'd you feel on that DTH drop versus the one at Boneyard? I didn't make it to the Boneyard one due to rain but most people told me it was significantly harder. Would love your take.
Hi Claude! I actually didn't do the Boneyard drop, but my 2 friends did. They said it wasn't too much more difficult than drop the hammer. More intimidating as it wasn't as perfectly sculpted like drop the hammer. Also the launch point of it was a bit more janky. I did hit the step up at Boneyard, and that was a lot of fun. I kind of regret not doing the drop while I was there. It was the last day of our trip and wanted to leave on a high note lol. Next time I'm up there I want to do the boneyard drop!
@@CobraKyle Pretty much the same with me and my kid. We did the step-up and drop the hammer but we ended up getting rained out on the final day so did not get around to boneyard drop. Next time for sure, assuming I can nut up and just do it.
Awesome video, I’m new to mtb and I live in Bentonville. I would love to ride the trails and looking for a new or experienced rider that has a lot of patience lol. I would love to learn the trails and make new friends 🤟🏼
Welcome to mountain biking! You are so lucky to live in Bentonville. It's one of my favorite places to visit and everyone was super cool there. I'm sure you'll meet tons of people out there who will be happy to help you learn. Tons of beginner trails out at Slaughter Pen. Enjoy!

A new jump line/ flow trail just opened last weekend 5/9/20 by the free ride park, it is sick.
What an awesome place! I saw them working on some new stuff when I was there, and I'm hoping to come back soon since there will always be something new and fun to ride.
Cho Cho is my favorite but there’s a little jump line out there I love too.
Which jump line? I'm hoping to come back in October and know there will be new stuff to ride. It's so awesome!
Cobra Kyle maybe 1/4 mile behind the three drops. Nothing big but fun to session.
Nice job on bush push ... lol
Thanks Mike. I tried my best, but communism got the best of me.
@@CobraKyle I rode up Bush Push a long time ago. Never felt the need to do it again lol Much steeper than it looks
the BUSH PUSH, wheres our drop conquering?
That's saved for part 2! Gonna have to wait till next week
I’ve never ridden anywhere else and I haven’t ridden close to everything.oh, they took out the wall on Warthog for road construction 😢
You are super lucky to live here. Everytime I go up there I start looking at real estate and considering the move. Right now I have too much keeping me in San Antonio, but maybe someday.
Cobra Kyle I only got a mountain bike about two years ago because I thought it was a shame to live here and not have one (I still have my roadie, but of course gravel is booming, too). There are usually houses (and not all of them are huge) in Bella Vista. If/when the time is right, it will all make sense.
You've always got Cheez-Its!
When they stop being delicious, I'll stop travelling with them lol
Are the Bentonville trails just for bikers or can hikers go on them also?
Nice, Kyle!
Still, I don't get it. I know I'm in the minority as most bikes I see, even on the road are "mountain bikes."
Sticking to the road bike but, gotta say, Love the vids! :)
Thanks Michael! Hope you're staying safe during these crazy times!
Been there once. Plan on returning yearly
Me too Fred! I've been twice now, and still can't wait to go back!
Calls secretary, "Cindy cancel all my appointments for the next 11 minutes and 33 seconds"
Lol! You should change your channel name to "Good Comments". I've had a whole day to reply to this, and that's all I came up with haha.
@@CobraKyle I like it. I will bring it to my board of directors.
I suppose I’m pretty darn lucky 🍀- I live here 👍🏻 , live 1mile from the start at Crystal Bridges, there’s also 3 really good shops that most people know with at least double that within 30mins drive also 😊-Add in the newly improved Coler and the Back 40 just up the road with Lake Atalanta & Railyard(currently shut due to COVID19) I can ride it 2/3 times a week and never get bored 😐 - It’s fabulous 🙌🏻
You are so lucky! I'm always contemplating moving up there so I can ride some of the best trails daily. It's insane how much they build out there. I'm trying to find a remote job so I can move anywhere, and Bentonville is usually at the top of my list.
I'll be there June 14-18 with my family!
Nice! I just got back from another trip there. Just as fun as the first two trips! You'll have a great time!
Totally one of the best places in the country.
It truly is. It keeps me coming back and so ready for my next visit there!
Nice Miata!
Thank you! Best car purchase I've ever made!
Is this open year round?
I believe it is. It's a public park, so should be open all year.
What Bike are you riding?
NS Eccentric Cromo Hardtail
niiiiiccccccce
Thanks! Can't wait to get back here.
bentonville is still 🔥
Yes it is! I was just there a couple weekends ago. Just as fun as my first two trips there! I'm looking to possibly relocate there I love it that much!
@@CobraKyle haha same here im in dfw. the 5 hour trip isn't bad but living there would just be too fun. saw you are 10 hours thats how long it takes for me to get to Colorado. i was also there the weekend before last was a little muddy and coler was closed but still a blast!!! haha
It is the best place. I live here.
I'm very jealous of you! Already planning on when I can come back!
Silly names maybe, but at least not Led Zepplin songs like every other friggin trail.
Oh and you commi....
