BENTONVILLE: The best trails money can buy |

[@aaronallen5732]

as someone who as lived in northwest AR I never realized how many amazing trails there are!!

[@BoiseG]

I think Sarah pushes Brian to ride more aggressive than his usual. He used to by-pass jumps and now he's hitting them with speed. lol Good job Sarah!

[@RobDTom]

The banter and amount of fun shown in this video is absolutely infectious.

[@BigJRitch]

So glad to live an hr south of Bentonville. Thanks for showing our beautiful state to your audience.

[@joebikes]

"Hootin' & Hollerin' is mandatory" 😂 definitely true for Fireline and most trails at Coler! Always delivers the fun! GREAT VIDEO!

[@bkxc]

Haha most definitely!!

[@michae8jackson378]

I love the energy when the two of you are riding! So much fun. My moms side of family is from N Little Rock. Grandparents had property there in Bentonville area for vacation. Such a beautiful part of US. What great trails!

[@bkxc]

Thanks so much!

[@blairalley]

Loving the videos of the two of you riding together. Love the conversations and banter. You both compliment each other very well!

[@TheCycle2300]

I'm going to Bentonville MTB festival in May and found your channel. You guys are awesome to post these videos. Gives me some idea what to expect to ride. 👍👍

[@308bar]

You guys make it look so fun, I wanna try too! Thanks for sharing, I'm living vicariously through these videos.

[@bonham4994sts9]

The trail sounds that your bike makes is always so pleasing to the ear🤘

[@swingingswords3614]

Love these trails. Went here last year for a week and wanted to stay. Will be hitting them again this year.

[@ericrosenburg657]

Great video. Great endorsement for Bentonville and the MTB community in general your pack was still there!!

[@GretgorPooper]

Sarah is so charismatic. You two are made for each other!

[@itsianwood]

These awesome videos with you both riding together are taking the channel to a new level! I love it!!! XXX

[@DallasBoote]

Coler is just incredible. As a NWA local, I end up going to Coler more than the rest of the trail systems. The trails are fun and perfectly built for all skill levels. Airship makes great coffee and food (try the kombucha) and the paved trail is great for my non-MTB family. Can't beat it!

[@bkxc]

It's got everything wrapped up into one! Just fantastic.

[@RobDTom]

Coler Preserve is awesome! We are closing escrow on a home in NWA next month and we plan on spending a lot of time at Coler and Airship.

[@weso1974]

Coler is soooooooo good! And just keeps getting better! From the trails to the greenway to the coffee (and beer), the creek. All so good!

[@RobDavis1966]

So thankful for these Bentonville videos (new and old) you've done. Driving out there on Saturday and now have a solid list of trails to ride. Our place is right by the Little Sugar trail head and our day one ride will be the one you and Sarah did last year. 6 days to ride and will definitely get at least one day at both Coler and Slaughter Pen. I hope my kids and my legs can hold up to it all. Thankfully, coming from Colorado, we have a 5000ft altitude advantage (at least for the first few days). 😁 🍻

[@fromxctoletssee]

Dude that was epic. The hootin and hollering was funny. If I ever had to come to the US then it would be there. I can remember your earlier videos how u felt about jumps but look at u now. Getting some frequent flyer miles. Thanks for the adventure.

[@shaunomeara843]

The energy from you two is high and so very enjoyable,watching Bentonville it's real awesome man I really want visit!!!

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Can’t wait to get back there and try those

[@XCBen]

Me too!

[@milenas2418]

Sarah bike riding is improving so much she's full of energy love seeing her being so happy on trail. Keep up great work Brian vids are awesome 👌 👏 👌👌

[@bkxc]

She's getting better all the time!

[@UpHillWill]

Coler is by far my fav. area in Bentonville. During bike fest last weekend I was blessed to ride with some awesome people!

[@jstrahn]

Best Coler video I've seen and love the positivity. Subscribed.

[@macfawlty]

Sarah’s flyin’ around those berms, jumps and drops whoopin’ and laughing. Remarkable how agile and natural she appears, always in the flow. Brian’s grunting and leaving his sh#t behind.

[@peaelare]

Coler might be my favorite day ever of riding ever and all the clay-capped trails and hub were closed the day I was there. But the overall vibe there is just a game changer.

[@aldrietchdakay1969]

Been here since 2016. My stress reliever clips

[@pauljnicholls3929]

A-maze-ing place..... That really got my mojo fired up. Super flowy fun. Awesome job.

[@iamcantiaci]

Completed my first 100km XC ride at the weekend, thank you for inspiring

[@josephdefelice3149]

New to the channel. Brian you bring a big dose of adrenaline! Very exciting and heart pounding watching you guys get through the berms and jumps. You make it look effortless! Thank you for great content!

[@abstraddic0442]

I'm still amazed at how well Sarah can jump, that's crazy !!!! Your kids will be natural shredders !!!

[@VisualSOLUTIONSMedia]

@BKXC Brian- you and Sarah riding together elevates both the levels of riding, AND the quality of the videos and channel- well done! If you see this, could you please let us know what PSI you run? And go ride something new!!! ;^)

[@kodi.hartMTB]

That’s your best video👌👌👍🤘🏾 awesome trails

[@MoOutdoorsandReviews]

great video, I haven't been to coler in a few years and even in that short time it looks like they have made a lot of new trails and features

[@Jer0da0sniper]

So fun just to watch you guys ride, can’t wait to try out bentonville someday

[@laszlobacs9347]

Awesome ride. You guys enjoy your trip and have fun.

[@nrmtb]

Sarah sending those jumps!!! Love the content BKXC you gies feed off each other very well 🤙🏼

[@Godsensed]

It’s awesome seeing money go to an outdoor recreation activity a lot of people enjoy in your home state. I go to the university and now they are building trails right on campus and it’s creating an identity for the state. And you can’t complain when Arkansas sports are killing it as well. Good time to be a student. Great time to be a Razorback. Go hogs.

[@jonhtslayden9114]

Where is the Old Swimming hole you mentioned at 2:35?

[@shawnoen1029]

Brand new derailleur hangers often aren't straight out of the box. Especially so once installed on the frame itself which can have some inconsistencies. Always best to install a new hanger and then check it with a tool.

[@alexandrews6391]

Absolutely, this is true. Worked at a bike shop 7 years. It was actually shocking if the hanger was aligned when new.

[@kjl42]

Went to Bentonville last year with a bunch of friends and agree that Coler is one of the best trail systems in the country!

[@bkxc]

Just so good!

[@abstraddic0442]

This was a cool ass video B. 👍

[@jinavl]

Cant wait to go this summer

[@chilloutyaall]

Sarah was sending it ! Love it 🥰

[@KZ-xj4tt]

It’s enjoyable to watch you two. So cute.

[@SpeedDamai]

Jump jump. You're racing Sarah well. Best trail you've performed. Thank you for sharing video.

[@albertsmith6717]

That's nice trails. Probably the smoothest trails Brian has ever been on.

[@letupandridemarkdangelo170]

Everything I see about Bentonville looks amazing and fun but I have yet to see any old school natural single track...Thats what I live for... but still want to visit Bentonville to see what its all about.Its a pretty darn cool concept.

[@bkxc]

It's just a fun, purpose built spot!

[@Magoo71]

Looking forward to visiting Bentonville later this year....maybe even to move there....I'm done with California.. Great trails to ride it seems!

[@bkxc]

It's well worth the visit!

[@UpHillWill]

you will fall in love with the area, such an awesome place to visit and I'm sure to live also!

[@willbros1499]

We have an unbelievable number of CA transplants here. So many of them sell their smaller homes in CA, and come buy homes 2-3 times as big here, and still have money left over. That's changing a little with the cost of real estate going up, but if you're looking on the perimeter and not "downtown" the home prices are still very reasonable. Employment is also fairly easy to obtain, so it's crazy how much it has blown up just in the last 3 years. At last check, almost 30 people move to this Northwest Arkansas corner of the state weekly. It's crazy.

[@gman6059]

Those look SO fast! Can't wait to try them in a few months.

[@christianhardy5700]

If you get back there again, which in our trip it was definitely worth a second visit, just for fire line. At the hub, check out Cooperhead. Wow on the rockwork and the tech is tons of fun.

[@murphdoesit]

Some of those climbs are hard af

[@justinheer9098]

Can't wait moving from Arizona phoenix / Sedona seems so much rockier can't wait for this terrain

[@denislitisha7136]

Brian when using the derailleur alignment tool, always use the same reference point on the wheel to properly align it. For instance I always use the valve for my reference. I start at the top, measure it, then spin the valve to the bottom, then the valve facing the back of the wheel, then spin it to the front of the wheel. The measurement should be either the same or extremely close. If you want a video of me demonstrating it, let me know I will email you one.

[@eriknash8783]

Had the pleasure of visiting Bentonville this year during bikefest weekend, but the climate was just too brutal on me, coming from the west coast of Santa Cruz where we have pretty perfect weather and even when it gets warm, the humidity rarely even goes over 60%. I'm glad we decided to rent eBikes while we were there because we only got one day of riding before the Tornado came, but it was an 8 hour day of riding and we were able to cover a lot of ground. If I had tried to ride that many hours in on a traditional bike, I would have been throwing up 2 hours in...

[@bkxc]

Wow, that's awesome you got in a FULL DAY of riding with the eBike!

[@edwinmercado2950]

Hey bud if any of you get bored with the bikes my wife and I would love to have them as a gift. You guys are awesome. I love riding bikes but we have Walmart bikes not as best as the ones you ride on 😞😔🥹🥹Take care guys. We love your videos! Thank you!

[@erinlane234]

The family trail is a nice flow trail. It looks smooth

[@nickhingle5534]

That’s cool you met some other people from other states, especially Montana. I’m from Montana’s biggest town. 😃😆

[@WeekendPirate]

i need to spend a week here this summer

[@Magoo71]

Me too! Maybe even move there....those trails right out of town seem great....no having to travel an hour or two ...just ride from where you live!

[@WeekendPirate]

@@Magoo71 i live in south Florida and I work remotely like he was saying in the video. I’ve been thinking about moving somewhere I can do both mountain biking and snowboarding. Tired of the year round heat and flat elevation here

[@Magoo71]

@@WeekendPirate Yea I'm tired of the heat around here in Nor Cal in the Summer time....Myself and my Gal are Cal natives but we are sick of the politics and high prices of everything else. California would work for your ideas of Snow boarding and Mt Biking.

Glad to see you two having fun in the sun. Up here in western Canada we get the odd days of sun. Much to much rain this year so far. Hopefully July and August are sunnier.

[@bkxc]

Hope it clears up!!

@@bkxc well. We are usually blessed with some great weather. If the summer is a washout, our fall weather has yet to disappoint. I hope you continue to enjoy some hero dirt. Thanks for responding.

I was just here yesterday!

[@synndakitt]

Great vid. I have on day to ride Bentonville next month and I'm a blue trail level rider ( I can't do jumps), which trail system should I spend the day on, Slaughter Pen or Coler Preserve?

[@bkxc]

Coler!

[@migueltrujillo5932]

Start cycling in NWA forty three years ago.😃

[@MichaelSchneiderTexas]

FYI: If you try to bend your derailleur or the hangar too much , my derailleur snapped in half and flew into my spokes , breaking a few spokes . It was a mess. The alum derailleur can only take so much manipulation. Its not really that strong. Sram GX 1 x 12.

[@dondavis1180]

Hey I don't know how these videos got recommended to me but they popped up and I'm really entertained. I just have a one recommendation: as someone who doesn't bike, it's hard for me to really have a sense of how fast you're going, and if you could attach a speedometer to your bike so we see how fast you're actually going, I think people like me would be even more impressed. Great videos tho!

[@surgemtb9599]

If you wanted to get better form and pop off of jumps try dirt jumping it really helped with my form!

[@siradinar]

You two are the cutest couple! Love watching your videos because I feel like we are of similar skill level! Steep lips make me nervous too. Where is the swimming hole? Also, I realized that my initials are one off from your initials. If I had a YT channel, it would be CLXC. LOL Thanks for coming to Bentonville & showcasing some of the fun trails there!

[@Lakers479]

Is that swimming hole on little sugar creek?? Awesome video as always !

[@letsgosurfingdude]

What is your advice of not going over the handles bars or tipping forward when in the air?

[@TL-jk4ww]

Hey Guys! Really enjoying your Bentonville videos. Can you tell me which knee pads you’re wearing (Sarah too). The ones I bought chafe my knees from all the pedalling I need to do where I ride.

[@EmotionRadio]

Big fan of your channel. I have a question that I’ve yet to see anyone cover. What bike is best for Bentonville? I’m undecided on whether to take my Ibis Ripmo (160/145) or Scott Spark RC Pro (120/120). I don’t want to over or under bike. Thanks

[@Black55478]

8 am and it’s already 80 lol welcome to Arkansas

[@heavysighs]

Awesome guys! Are eMTB’s like my Specialized Turbo Levo Pro PROHIBITED?

[@tf.2903]

Great video. Love the dynamic with you two. You should consider strapping the camera on her so we get a different view of you on the trail. Just a thought.

[@Magoo71]

C'mon Brian....that Deraileur hanger adjustment tool is not that hard to use and it will perfect the shifting as long as you also check out the "B" adjustment screw. You can view all of this on ....ya know KZbin!

[@lynxg4641]

Well Brian, have to say, real surprised to hear what you said about the derailleur hanger alignment tool and not being able to figure out how to properly use it with all the other stuff you've managed to learn/figure out with Everstoke and your van. It's damn simple, just watch the Park Tool video on how to use it and you'll come to realise that it's one of the most important tools you have. Little FYI, just because a derailleur hanger is new, doesn't mean it's straight, I always check new hangers and most of the time they're good, but over 20% they're not.

[@pierrehuneault9130]

Great job guys! Always a pleasure to see a power mtb couple!!! Would you mind telling me the model of Sarah’s waistbag please? Thanks

Hi Brian, why don't you wear gloves? I know it's all about preference but when I don't wear mine, I have trouble hanging on when the hands get sweaty. Is it that those Tra1l grips are so good? 🤷‍♀
