What other YouTubers won't Say! - Bentonville Bike Fest & Riding Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- Bentonville claims to be the mountain bike capitol of the world. To many this is a stretch. With an open mind I headed over to the Bentonville Bike Fest to see for myself what this fest and it's surrounding trails are like.

Great video! The best part you mentioned is about the progression of the trails. I love it here. Im happy i got to show you around!
I'm super greatful that we got to ride together. You showing me around was awesome. Between that ride and the group ride I went on in Slaughter Pen it gave me the lay of the land so I could venture out on my own and feel like I knew where I was going. Thanks so much!
What a vast difference in terrain. Sometimes you can make more progression when you change things up. 🤙
there are many other mountain bike centric cities with better riding. Just drop the capital thing. mtb capital of arkansas for sure!
Upper Midwest rider here. If you loved Bentonville and want more downhill, tech, and jank, Duluth is your jam. 103 miles interconnected, including a lift service bike park, plenty of "ride out the front door". Plus, the daily highs in July are high 70s to high 80s.
That being said, I do want to expound on something you mentioned about riding at Bentonville. Having trails close to your house will always trump the gnar factor of said trails. Doesn't mean there shouldn't be X trails in a given location, but a trail you bang out 2-10 miles before or after work without having to drive 30-40 minutes one way. A 3 mile long green/blue trail with blue/black b-lines between housing developments might do more to help mountain biking as a sport than the epic black/double black trail in the mountains an hour away.
The thing I've learned most about travelling around and riding is that every place is good in it's own way. However, none of them are perfect.
Duluth is DOPE!!!
I appreciate your ineptitude at jumping and showing that on video. It speaks to the hordes of us that grew up mountain biking on natural tech trails and to this day feel totally intimidated by man made “features”.
Yeah, not my thing! 😂
Second to none with your story telling. You got a gift man! It was so great hangin with you guys that one night. Hope to see you again and do laps with you!
Was cool to meet in person. I was truly surprised you were a big guy too!
I moved here for work 2 years ago from North Los Angeles County. I thought I would get bored of the local trails and need to travel to places like Lake Leatherwood, Devils Den or Mt. Nebo to enjoy true downhill. The quality and diversity of trails and easy access is beyond anything I expected. I find new features to ride all the time and they keep building more. I am very happy living here and being able to ride a mile from my front door to Slaughter Pen is so convenient. I know people make fun of the Mountain Bike Capital slogan, but the access and culture are truly one of a kind.
That's good to hear. I definitely questioned if I'd get bored after a month or so of riding there. I think at the end of the day you learn to love what you have. I'm sure some people could make an argument about how it sucks riding in Northern California because you have to climb for 45 minutes to ride almost anything fun.
Yeah it's a cute MTB town with cool trails. Not worth it as a MTB destination in my personal opinion, but I live in the PNW and like to go to BC, Moab, Sedona for destination riding.
I'm impressed by what they are able to do with such little elevation they have in NWA.
@@lokmtb8503 I agree that it’s not a destination by itself but when you add all the surrounding trail networks in NWA I think it’s worth the trip.
Having lake leatherwood nearby is awesome too though. Super fun park
Not riding the trails within an hour of you is cutting yourself short from a ton of fun, progression, and different sides of the community. Branch out, come ride the shuttle at LW with us, check out the World Cup XC course at Centennial, ride Fitzgerald in Springdale. Don’t get complacent! ❤️ You can only progress so far in Bville, it’s lovely and I’ll never leave but there’s not much to aspire to to keep moving forward and getting better to have more/safer fun when back in Bville.
Much love, Donut
CONGRATS on this one taking off!!
Thanks man!
Robert, thanks for a great rundown of an amazing event. You accurately captured the entire essence of the Bike Fest and relayed it effectively. The Bentonville experience is SO DIFFERENT from the west coast (or Rocky Mountain) vibe. So different, but so equally fun and challenging! Keep up the great work!
It really took me a bit to accept that it wasn't what I normally ride. But overall, I had a blast and would recommend people to go. However, I think a lot of UA-cam videos on the place tend to make it seem a bit more epic than it is.
I think the biggest thing about Bentonville is how easy it is to progress your skills. Super happy you mentioned that. I went for bike fest last year and was a significantly better rider after 3 days there than I was when I arrived.
Exactly my same experience!
Great video !! So good seeing you that week 😊
You too 🤘
Man, this was really well put together video! Taking notes! Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Great video! Been going there every Spring and love it. Incredible riding and people in town are awesome. The BBQ spot right at the trail exit is excellent.
I can totally understand why it's so popular!
Dude, great video! Really enjoyed your perspective on the town and trail system.
Much appreciated!
Wow what an appropriate video to have pop up the morning I'm heading to Bentonville! Thanks!
Oh right on! Have fun!
Well done...!!! Thank you for sharing....😊
My pleasure 😊
Awesome video! Putting Bentonville on my bucket list and you earned a sub :)
Awesome! Thank you!
As a Tahoe native I'm biased towards what we have to ride and you can't beat the views. Appreciate the honest review.
That's the thing, when you are used to dh that lasts for miles with amazing views...you truly are biased.
I miss Tahoe. I lived on the West Shore in Tahoma for 6-7 years. Different trails and places are cool, but nothing compares to Tahoe
Bentonville looks like an amazing place for biking, and it's definitely on my bucket list for places I want to ride someday
It's a good one for the bucket list.
I loved my week long bike session in Bentonville! Love how there is progression everywhere.
So much progression! It was truly fun.
Another enjoyable video -- TY!
Glad you enjoyed it
Sooo nice! Every town needs a place like this!
Agreed!
Great video, good story telling, awesome drone footage...one day when I retire in the next few years i want to ride Bentonville.
It’s a good goal!
Great video Robert! Someday I've love to get down there from the Hudson Valley of NY. We are loaded with natural techy trails here, with plenty of rocks! You'd love it.👍
Growing up in PA I love those East Coast rock gardens! 🤘
Love what Evan said about the hammer... it's unlocked so much more in my mind, progess in mtb is so rewarding.
I can totally imagine. Maybe someday. 🤷♂️
Great review, I visited last October what a great place to push yourself out of the comfort zone. I love that they have progression everywhere. I’m a Michigan mountain biker and enjoy a variety of trail riding experiences that said Bentonville offers all of it and then some. The progression pushes your mental limits into, Hey, I did that now. What can I do? I’m totally stoked about going back and look forward to my next adventure in Bentonville.
The progression I made there was actually the thing that surprised me most.
Great Video, my dude!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video and it was great meeting you at berm creek.
Right on man! Thanks for the camera work. The clip made it in the cut too!
@B1KER yeah I noticed! It was awesome haha
Knoxville TN is getting close to being a MTB Mecca. Baker Creek, Windrock and now Ober Gatlinburg all within an hour drive of eachother.
I’ve been eyeing Chattanooga
Great video dude!
Glad you enjoyed it
I’d mention that Bentonville is best ridden on an e-bike. I’d say it would help preserve one’s motivation to continue riding. Riding an analog bike after a few climbs no matter how short can really become tiresome and start to take away from the experience if you’re there for only a short period of time. Luckily there are several places in town that rent them out!
I felt fine pedaling but a 3k day in climbing is normal for me.
Great job getting out of you comfort zone on the jumps and drops!
Thanks man!
It's the all-encompassing vibe that surrounds the area that's infectious. The attitude of gratitude is ubiquitous with the locals, such an amazing bike friendly infrastructure throughout and, if I do say, the perfect place to get laps on an emtb with the hub trail system. 💯
It was definitely fun!
Went to Bentonville this past spring, for first time, with the family! We absolutely loved it and being close due to living in SC Kansas, it will now be part of our regular travels! Mountain biking FTW!
Great to hear!
you sold me at its jumpers paradise, I'm going for sure!
You’ll love it! 🤘
Great review and video! Made me wish I was there. For me, the biggest concern is the humidity and bugs. That humidity makes me sweat just thinking about it, then bugs stick to me and I hate that shit. I lived in GA for a while, I know what it's like. But that bike park is more inviting to me after watching your video.
The humidity was rough. Not gonna lie!
I've been wanting to get to Bentonville for years. This video makes me want to go even more!
It's definitely worth the trip!
Great video! It's a different place there for sure
Yeah, it took me a minute to accept it for what it is. But overall, super fun.
Loved NWA so much we moved here and honestly the hardest part about living here is trying to figure out what to ride everyday, I need like a spinning wheel or something to point me in a direction lol. I was helping out a local shop at the Fest and the devastation was just so unreal. Great job on the video, spot on for sure!!
Right on man, that’s awesome 🤘
Thank you for this video! I feel like a lot of people from bike park states love to trash on Bentonville for not having any lift parks. As you said, some of us would rather trade the convenience of trail access and progression as opposed to having massive skill gaps between trails and lift access.
I came to Bentonville/Bella Vista last year on vacation and immediately knew it was something special. Two months later I packed up and moved to Bella Vista and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I can hit XC trails one minute's ride from my front door. The trails link into each other creating a massive network that can take you hundreds of miles if your legs feel up to it. If I drive just a couple of minutes I have access to hundreds more miles of gravel. It's a cyclist's paradise.
I can't stress enough how badly the trails were affected by the storms. Thousands of trees down. Coler was absolutely devastated. I didn't even realize the full extent until I drove past and couldn't even recognize Fireline since it was covered in trees. Thankfully we have thousands of amazing volunteers and such an amazingly robust trail organization in Trailblazers, that the trails we love are already springing back to life just over a month later. Bentonville has something for nearly anyone of any age to ride and I'm so proud to call this area home
I flew out the day after the storm and I knew the trail networks had to be completely jacked. It's a good thing Bentonville has the advocacy that it does. I personally don't like lift access riding much. It's just not my jam. But I truly enjoy the adventure of riding. When I first got to Bentonville I felt like I was a little mislead on UA-cam and that's why I titled the thumbnail the way I did. I can totally understand why you moved there. Reminds me of where I grew up but with way more biking!
Good video, man. Yeah, a little different perspective on the bike fest, I liked it a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed it
An absolutey AMAZING place. Head East to Turkey Mountain in Tulsa, that place has undergone a major transformation. Brilliant trails
Will have to check that out
Excellent place to go to progess your skills
Been here all week for our annual trip and it just never disappoints. Insanel how quickly they've reopened trails since the tornadoes..
Lake Leatherwood is a must next time you're here 🤘
Will definitely check that out!
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
I ran into you at Coler. Was cool seeing you here :)
Right on man! I had a blast fanboying the city and the trails I've seen online so much.
For long and tech near Bentonville, there's a downhill park with shuttle in Eureka at Lake Leatherwood. Those trails are insane!
I'll have to check it out next time!
As a beginner this looks like a wonderful Mecca for me. I wish a west coast town like Chico would do something similar.
As a beginner you'd be crazy stoked if you went.
lol Chico too dry. I’m surprised Bay Area with the nice mountains ain’t got shit either
Well California is broke, so there's that.
Novato, Petaluma, or Santa Rosa would be perfect places for this.
@@cameroncooper3065 if the City of Santa Cruz actually stopped pretending they don’t have amazing trails it would be a great place!
Great video. I’ve ridden in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, Virginia, North Carolina, Alberta, and California - but never anywhere near Bentonville yet. Every place has its own character. Enjoyed the perspective of someone who also lives in a place where it’s often about big climbs and big descents. Would be fun to do a Tahoe / Bentonville house swap for a week
Omg, those two are worlds apart in the riding!!!
Awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed it
So funny how similar we are. I am an overweight 46 yr old who feels like a kid on my bike. I live north of Bentonville in KC. I wish I could get there more often but I also have kids. It's funny, the trails you were showing are what I always struggle with. The minor drop in on Berm Creek or the one coming off of the hub at Coler. Definitely more of a mental thing. I wish I had more confidence to leave the ground but we know how that go's. Keep up the great content!
It’s just a head game. You can do it!
I ride mostly EUC. There’s an annual bentonville event for it. These trails and features look pretty amazing.
Right on 🤘
I definitely want to go ride there someday. I love steep janky trails, but also love jump trails.
You should!
I can't wait to ride there
Definitely go! It was super fun. Short climbs and fun bermy downhill sections.
I hope to visit this place sometime. Also seeing Heather is awesome! She seems so cool
You should definitely go! It was super fun. I've met Heather a handful of times and she's just as rad in person as she comes across in videos!
Please come out to Colorado Springs. We have a lot of janky descents. Some of my fav jank I ride in the middle of town in City Parks. And just to the west lets talk Cheyenne Canyon or Pikes Peak. 12 miles, 100ft of climbing and over 7,000ft of jank descending. I used to live near Bentonville. Never really enjoyed riding there much.
One of my buddies from the Army lives in the springs. I'm sure I'll make it out there sooner or later!
I'm with you I'm not a jumper lol. Long as you had fun. I really like your perspective at bentonville. Awesome you got to run with Evan and catch Heather on the trail. She seems pretty cool.
They are both rad people. Stoked you liked the video.
I really think Bentonville would be an amazing place with a ton of variety for all of us to meet up. I dodged it this year, but next year? Hopefully no face plants like last time we rode together 😬
No face plants is a good idea!
@@B1KER where is that video btw? I need a good laugh 😆
I first rode Slaughter Pen, Phase 1 back in 2007. I was hooked. Been back many many times since. Hit Drop the Hammer it's first week open to the public(At 50 years old). Love the place and will be back this coming weekend. Only difference is I will now add in a round of golf while in town😁
Good job on the hammer!
You want long techy descents? Go east of Bentonville to Eureka Springs and to Ponca. More of a drive but what you are looking for. Also techy single track in Devil's Den state park. Also great rides in Springdale and Fayetteville, just minutes away from Bville.
Next time for sure!
all I got from this video was at the end, in the video of vendor area after the storm, the hot dog car looked like it made it thru ok.....I just feel so much better now.
The weiner made it through the storm!
A little gem of natural trails I discovered by accident (because my hotel room was nearby) is the Traverse Loop and associated off-shoots on the east side of town and somewhat separated from other parts of the trail system. While my experience at Bentonville was otherwise similar to yours (although I do love a good jump trail), I am glad the Traverse Loop was the first section I rode when I was there to visit last year. I look forward to going back. Being mainly an east coast rider, I hear about hour long climbs out west and get nervous... we just don't really have those here in SE PA.
I’m from York originally and the climbs back home definitely aren’t like Cali!
I watch for the moobies 🤪...great episode. I enjoy going to Bentonville.
Muwhahahahahhahahaha!!!!! Thanks
I don't think I was more than a minute into this when you showed the dusty trails of home and I thought to myself, "Self, that looks a whole lot like Auburn or Salmon Falls Darrington Trail" - then you show the Auburn Forest Hill bridge and I thought, Yeah!!
I'm just an hour drive from there. 🤜🤛
Yep, that was Grizzly! 🤘
It may not be the true "Mountain Bike Capitol of the world" ,but it sure is the most fun for every type of rider from beginner to expert/pro rider!
It’s definitely a good time, but extremely limited for the higher skill sets.
Moved to Bentonville from Houston 2 years ago and have looked back!
Bentonville is a full size n life hack in all ways, even much more that the mtb scene, best place in country to raise a child and do life!
I was imagining being a kid there has to be awesome. 🤘
I agree with you bro, not a bug fan of jumping. I lie to feel the tires grabbing the trail and shred it. If I wanted to be in the air all the time I’ll ride a plane. 😑
Hahahahaha! I hear ya.
I have ridden coast to coast, even alaska.. the trails at bentonville aren't the longest, hardest, gnarliest. But they are the best, hands down the best place to ride. the vibe and the people are unmatched.. the town is real cool too.. for a natural chunky area in Bentonville, you should have ridden Hand Cut Hallow..
It's definitely something special there. I wish I would have ridden HCH. Next time for sure!
Been wanting to visit here but, as a non-jumper, was scared I would not find trails to my liking. I prefer flowy cross country. Your video makes it look worth a visit. Thanks!
There is a ton of that there. You'll have a blast.
Bentonville gave you courage for that rock roll this past weekend 😉
Nah, California gets the bragging rights for that one!
Great video! BBF is awesome - we can’t wait to get back to a tornado-free event in 2025!!
I’m sure!
Ice ! Hope everyone survived that storm and are doing good !
I wouldn’t consider Bentonville east coast though. It’s southern Midwest .
Yeah, that's the Californian in me talking. You are totally right!
@@B1KER It does seem like a nice place for bikes. I have to be honest though my understanding is that a Walton family member or two from the Walmart clan has financed the trail system there which is good just wish they took better care of the employees.
Right on dude. Great video. Always gotta laugh at the mtb capital of the world claim.
Always! 😂😂😂
The Walmart brat that built this wants the title. Too bad all that money he has will never be able to make that happen.
First time ive stumbled across your channel! What part of the Sac area are you in? Im Roseville born and raised and got into mtb riding only a few years ago.
I'm in East Sac.
Did you ride Bella Vista. It's literally across the highway and has many miles on unmanicured trails.
As a 57 year old UA-camr, I have no issue sending it on jumps. Maybe it's time to learn how to jump better...🤪 You don't have to go huge, but at least good enough to clear all these medium sized tables. Trust me, you will enjoy it a lot more.
I mean that's why I absolutely love Bentonville, all the amazing jumps!!!
Those Tornadoes sucked. We were in an Airbnb without a basement which was scary!
I’ll have to check out Bella Vista next time.
I've always had that assumption about Bentonville. Never been, but I would go if I had the chance. I'm with you on the manicured jump trails; I'd much rather have natural janky chunk and tech. You should come visit Pisgah National Forest if you haven't. 🤙🏻
I need to go there. That place looks like it's right up my alley!
what gps mount are you using on this bike?
This one: amzn.to/4bEC9xT
You just missed Mountain Bike Oregon. Have you tried that one yet? It's pretty darn awesome:)
Not yet, I've been wanting to go to that one for awhile. Maybe next year!
Can't be the mountain bike capitol of the world if you ain't got no mountains! I'm just kidding! Bentonville looks like a blast. I grew up in the Rockies, so it's ingrained to poke fun at what folks on the eastern side of the US call mountains, but I would be stoked to visit.
LOL, I hear ya. I grew up in PA and what we called mountains compared to what I regularly ride in NorCal nowadays is a huge difference.
Nice video. All true comments. It is a pump track on steroids. Getting more trails every month.
Super fun 🤘
I had been interested to go but honestly, your review kind of killed it for me as a destination. I think it would be an amazing place to live and have access to all of that so close, and to work on jumping skills, but the lack of true DH trails isn't very appealing. As a festival space, it sounds better than Sea Otter where this isn't much to ride in the immediate area. I wasn't planning on going during the festival, though.
I would still do it at least once. Just don't go there with the mindset that you will be stoked about your decents. At most you're getting a minute or two.
I much prefer my local trails. That said, just outside of Bentonvile at Lake Leatherwood are some truly awesome DH trails. I had fun in Bentonville, but I think it's more of a once every 5 years kind of destination.
I heard there's some good stuff outside of town. Next time!
@@B1KER For sure, Lake Leatherwood is not to be missed. Especially of you enjoy tech riding!
I'd consider everything in an hour drive from Bentonville to be the "area" of NW Arkansas. Bentonville is an important part of the story, but not the whole thing.
There is PLENTY more riding outside of the hyper concentrated and beautifully groomed hundreds of miles of Bentonville/Bella Vista trails.
Mt Nebo has 1000 vertical feet of loose and chawnky descent. Hobbs has some cool loops. Kessler Mtn is pretty chunky and natural. Devil's Den is awesome. Those are just a few spots within day trip range. And you have hundreds of miles of trail in the Ouachita national Forest 3 hours away and another absolutely pristine trail system (Northwoods) in Hot Springs.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to venture out from the city. I've read a bunch of comments like this and look forward to checking that out another time!
My biggest qualms with Bentonville is that they named themselves (not earned the title) the MTB capital of the world. When it's pretty obvious that's not the case.
I've ridden there a few times because I have family in Fayetteville. I was impressed the first few times, then I was left craving more robust lengthy trails that I can spend a full day on. You don't need lift access bike parks to have an amazing time and we all get that. Maybe it's shuttle laps in Oakridge, or pedalling to the top of tiger mountain, or SW tech in Moab or Sedona.
I can have a great time on a bike in Bentonville, but if I went there for a 4-7 day MTB trip with my friends I'd be so disappointed.
I think 3-4 days is max and you have to go with the intent we are going to have fun not do epic riding.
@@B1KER yeah I agree. I go to NW Arkansas with the intent to visit family and I ride for a couple of days.
For myself personally mountain biking is about going on an adventure and Bentonville feels more like being at an amusement park.
The trails are amusing and not awe inspiring.
Truth. Bentonville is best if you like jumps (and drops)
Definitely 👍
Looks like a bike park riders dream.
Definitely more catered that way and to newer riders.
If you're wanting easily sessionable jump lines, Bentonville is great for that. If you want long, fast downhills, you won't find that there
Looks like my kinda place to ride! Trouble is it is really far from anywhere I'm at, and I don't think worth the travel given the other places I can ride that are closer, like the entire southwest, and where I live in BC, and winter in Tucson.
Every place has something special about it. It's definitely worth a trip. Don't go expecting something epic. But it'll be fun.
Having been to both Bentonville and Whistler, they're completely different experiences. In Bentonville you just go out the door and casually ride whatever you feel like. You go to Whistler to push your personal limits, because the trails there demand every ounce of your skill, but the reward is worth it.
I'm getting ready to go to Whistler next week, but my assumption is you are right on point!
I think to truly appreciate the riding in Arkansas you need to get out of Bentonville itself. Mt Nebo is some of the best riding in the country and Lake Leatherwood, The Great Passion Play and the Buffalo Outdoor Center. See BKXC's top 5 Arkansas list... it's legit. The trails at Slaughter Pen and Colar are good but not great enough to convince any MTB'er worth their salt to call them the best MTB riding in the world. Add these other networks into the mix and then that conversation starts to make sense.
Next time!
🎣
I can't tell what that emoji is. -\__0__/-
That sucks tornado damn could see one of my favorite bike brand I still have and trek marlin
Yeah, was a bummer that happened.
Seeing the money the Walmart family has invested in developing the trails and how the community as a whole has embraced the mountain biking community, I can understand how Bentonville can make the claim. Are there better areas/trails/views elsewhere? Absolutely. But hard pressed to name a city/town that has so fully embraced the MTB lifestyle.
They definitely are way ahead of the curve on embracing mtb!
Why is every location on UA-cam, generally proclaimed the Capitol of something? I would say the bike-riding capitol would be in Arizona, new Mexico, or any southern state. But I haven't been to any of those. So I consider my backyard(Adirondack Park), to be the mountain-bike capitol. To me, it's better than anything else in the USA or Canada.
I hear ya man! The best trails are always the ones you're on.
If you think you struggled with that drop-in to Rock Hard / Rock Soft, at least you didn't G-out and de-pants yourself in front of about 20 onlookers like I did!
Ahhh man, that sucks! Hopefully you pulled them up and gave it another shot!
Bentonville IS NOT a “jumper’s paradise”. It’s good to get into jumping, it’s not anything greater than a 6/10 for jumps though. That said, we’re getting to a point where we have proper jumps and will have more soon so, maybe you’re right! 😂😂
Seems logical! 😂
I bet the local doctors make a lot of money there.
Hahahaha!
U forgot handcut hollow
Unfortunately didn't make it there. Maybe next time!
click bait title
🤷♂️
@@B1KERcrap-bait
I'm not a big fan of machine built trail anywhere. It seem like a lot of their trails were built for quads. Give me skinny handbuilt single track any day.
I'm with ya!
This ain’t Downievile 😂
Ain't that the truth!
The ONLY two sexy guys on bikes with beards??? 🤷🏻 I’m offended!
😂😂😂
Groan.... clickbait strikes again. I have no idea what you were saying in this video that other UA-camrs aren't....
Other UA-cam videos make it out to just be epic. They don’t mention how it’s catered only to jumps. They dont mention how short the downhills are. And they don’t mention how there’s a lack of tech. Sorry I wasn’t more clear. It’s a fun place, but the MTB capital of the world….
@@B1KER It IS just epic. The way the entire town is designed to facilitate biking is unrivaled in the US. I also dispute the statement that it only caters to jumps. I did a 30mi+ loop on single track starting and ending in town. Seems like you mainly rode the jump lines. There's more there... which is one reason why it's so epic :)
Next time you're there, check out the back 40 and Tunnel Vision. Thanks for the vid, and I understand the need for catchy thumbnails, I also just find them annoying (yet effective).
