  • So we finally made it out to the Coler Mountain Bike Preserve in Bentonville, Arkansas. Join us as we explore some of the awesome trails here and hit the famous Drop the Hammer drop line. This is the kind of drop line that gives you the confidence to hit almost any other drop that you might come across. We fell in love with it right away. Maybe even got a little obsessed with it. 😅

    You said you can't jump well, but dude you totally can. You preload the lip and know how to pop and handle the bike in the air. Give yourself more credit haha!

      Thanks, Evan. It's a work in progress. I still case more jumps than I clear. You know how it is, we all get a little self critical sometimes. 😅

      Thanks, man! That's a relief. I'm always worried the video is gonna be poop during editing. I almost scraped it a few times. There was so much footage to sift through. It was a struggle to turn it into a cohesive video. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊

    Sending the "Hammer" way too deep will definitely wake you up. My first pass on the Hammer was on a Ragley hardtail and sent it halfway down the transition. Absolutely bone-jarring, at age 52, effectively making it an 18-20ft drop. We also sessioned it for a bit. Needless to say, a trip to the chiropractor the next day was required...lol.
    Rock Soft is a killer enduro trail. It'll tell you right away if one needs more conditioning. 🤙

    • @dukeofmtb

      Lol, yup. Definitely don't want to go too far. Glad you rode it out and only needed a chiropractor.

    Both of your energy is so fun. I always grin when I watch you guys. I am missing the bike park before the season even ended. You guys are basically fearless with drops . You guys are still easily clearing the jumps and Cory got so much better in the berms too.

    Coler is one of my favorite riding spots! I'm honestly glad to know that I'm not the only one struggling in specific spots on the trails. Tim, my riding buddy, always makes the trails look so easy. Frankly, so do you two too. Still have yet to drop the hammer, but I've been ready to for like 6 months... lol.👍

    The drop the hammer drop, looks like the size of bertha. How would you compare it? Definitely have to check this place out soon!

    • @dukeofmtb
      @dukeofmtb  2 роки тому

      They're visually similar but I think the Drop the Hammer drop is twice as big. The platform is 10 feet from the ground below it. Add in a few more feet to actually reach the landing, plus a gap big enough to drive a car under, and it's quite the drop. But it's all built in such a way that the whole experience feels smooth. The first wooden Bertha drop has an awkward short landing that shifts your weight back a little upon impact. So even though Drop the Hammer is bigger, it's actually smoother. You're gonna love it. It's tons of fun. Can't wait to go back one day and clear the step ups better next time though. 😅

    Rock solid contracting leaves Michigan and goes out south to build in the winter, I wonder if that trail "rock solid" was made by them! They were in Bentonville last year
