I really dig how you've been handing mics to the people you've been riding with. Not only do we get the POV camera and get to hear your commentary, it's awesome to hear the other rider's commentary even when they are far away from you. Excellent idea

[@casestudymtb]

This was the best mountain biking podcast interview I've heard to date. Selfless, empathetic, probing... and all done while riding some killer track blind. 👏👏👏

[@rich2632]

Just spent 5 days in Arkansas riding because of your videos. Drove all the way from New York. Keep up the good work you’re inspiring riders and showing us what all these amazing places have to offer. Met several riders that were out there because of you as well. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@richardshumate3712]

I'm Northwest Arkansas native overly impressed with what's going on around here used to not be much of anything to do if you didn't own a boat I hope you had a great time welcome and come back can't believe you came all the way from New York peace out

[@imnotshreddy5237]

I think I met you on the trail, happy pedaling

Going underneath that little waterfall was cool as hell.

[@calebday6988]

theres about 6 waterfalls and they r some on the walking trails that are cooool as fuckkk man. devils den is awesome

[@andersonsridebikes]

I'm an Arkansas native who lives within 90 minutes of all of the NWA trails, Mount Nebo, and Devil's Den. I'm new to Mountain biking and I cant believe I have waited so long to get into the sport considering the massive amount of incredible trails that are so close by! I am very grateful for the work you have done in Arkansas! I sincerely thank you.

How can you live here and just be getting into mountain biking?😂 It actually took us a little while to get into it as well, so I'm just as guilty.🤣

I dropped two ton of sand stone rock at my local trail in Woburn . The exciting part of this is , they came from a house Winston Churchill owned during the war, it was part of maybe a couple of hundred tons that was excavated during a refurbishment .

[@boonerichardson1639]

I’ve been mountain biking since I was a kid, and have a hobbyist trail builder since my teenage years. The organized effort that AR is putting into making their state an Mtb destination is quite remarkable. This trail is super impressive. Incredible incorporation of natural features. Hats off to the builders and some forward thinkers making it possible in AR.

BKXC just putting it out there my man, some of the terrain you blast down is way more gnarly than the majority of jumps/features you pass on. I have faith youll keep working on that cause you obviously have the capability to do it safely, push yourself and have fun

I live 2 hours from Devils Den, I was there the opening day and went back a week later. The new additions are awesome, and even for an old slow guy the stoke factor was high. I have a few videos on my channel that covers more of the trails. We are blessed here in the Natural State to have so many new trails being built

Wow, looks like an amazing ride.

[@justinuriahphoto]

This is, in my humble opinion, the best mountain biking channel on KZbin. While I can appreciate other channels who have some crazy visuals, this channel adds the dialog which adds another level to the ride. For instance, listening to this guy who was awarded a million dollar contract for trail building is eye opening. I cannot imagine the logistics behind all of that but he goes into some of the leg work like staying up until midnight doing paperwork and payroll. These are excellent points to learn about because while we have the privilege of riding these trails, we never know what went on to achieve the end result. Thank you for sharing these videos. I subbed.

I will be there Thursday for the grand opening, and I cannot wait to hit the advanced lines, and see more of the stuff we missed back in early April.
