From renegades to respected, these guys revolutionized Arkansas MTB

[@raymondpoynter8551]

The new ability and/or concept you have now having the ability to talk and basically interview the locals is a great addition to your videos Brian. Thank you.

[@knordberg]

The guest rider mic is so cool. Nice to not have to read captions on the bottom. Great idea.

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

Can confirm as a hard-of-hearing viewer that the guest rider mic is loud-and-clear enough that I don't need the captions.

[@robb1865]

That's cool that you can carry on a conversation while riding now. Gives the video that extra touch.

[@JasonKale]

I love these vids of the Arkansas trails with the guys who build the trails telling some stories.. Great job!!!

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

I hope these "riding video podcasts" are performing well. Really enjoying the dual-mic setup.

[@philandthedash1682]

Hobbs is a favorite ,so glad you included it in your series. This whole NW Arkansas series was awesome.

[@samfrash3329]

The Arkansas content is crushing it, man. You have a bunch out already...make more. I am tuned in, bro. Really loving this stuff.

[@philipnelson79]

Woodie is such a chill dude. Great interview, what a cool perspective on this amazing story that is NWA mtb 🤘

[@scottlarson1223]

This what makes me love Brian's videos, is the wonderful stories and history we hear along the ride. Great video. Keep it up.

[@petedog9581]

The holy trinity in CO/UT is Durango, GJ/Fruita, and then Moab. I recommend that order to get used to the altitude if you are a flat lander. By the time you get to Moab, you are a monster. This is a nice XC trail. A daily driver kind of trail that never gets old.

[@UNPAVEDTV]

So cool to hear the origin stories of all these awesome lesser known trails! Where else are you going to hear this stuff?

[@NoBrakes23]

Loved the conversation-mixed-with-ride format of this vid, Brian. Good stuff!

[@asceticscorpio972]

That was awesome thank you for sharing. Since I just started hanging up Bentonville like 3 to 4 years ago I figured they just had a sudden burst of trail building within the last six maybe seven years I had no clue about the history of the area as it relates to MTB. That dude's got himself to life run the business building the trails then open up a watering hole and maintenance show up with some retail too right by all the trails you just built, brilliant symbiotic business model where the two feed off each other. I have noticed though that no big frame manufacturer or components manufacturer has really dug their heels in Bentonville and made it their home. I think something like that would really benefit the local scene like deity has to Boise and like transition kona and evil do to Bellingham. A company like that in Bentonville could sponsor races organize trail maintenance volunteer days and group rides even have some employees work as part-time trail guides for out-of-towners who are visiting to ride.

[@johncoyle5936]

I seen your video on the Palos IL MTB trails and it motivated me to get out there and check it out. I live in the Chicagoland area and never knew it even existed. I had a blast it was so much fun, now I want to get out and try all these other trails.

[@jamesmathews243]

One of your best series for sure.

[@michae8jackson378]

Damn, I never knew that a golf course hole was so expensive! That’s nuts!

[@markmckenney4534]

So Glad that you were able to get a legitimate sampling, looks like you had a bunch of us homies show you the ropes, and Drew from Rev-Repair is just a super stand-up guy, was fun to see all the trail systems we ride and race enduro presented so nicely. My wife and I used to ride a lot of the same trails in NorCal as you, she retired from the military and we decided to put down roots here, no regrets...this place and the people are legit...Gnarkansas! A bit different from the Bay Area...once in a while we do miss Downieville! Cheers!

[@thompsy2k6]

Watching your old videos in the mountains while on my spin bike. Loving it. Hope you are well Brian. Take care

[@thomasnwa]

Loved the history lesson.

[@NicoBfg]

there is a new "interview and ride" style coming up. This is very good!

[@jctv410]

Good morning my friend!! Watching your video everyday makes me feel relaxed. Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@vincedavis5326]

Another outstanding video BK. A great ride along and listen.

[@EnlistedTrailHeads]

Who would have thought of the Tonight Show on a bike? BKXC that's who!! Well done sir!

[@philgunn6803]

Loving this extended stay series Brian - great videos too

[@workhorsemtb7075]

Thanks for the music outro!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

We have enjoyed all of the Arkansas videos that y'all have done, thanks for that. The tourist have seemed to double lately. Coincidence? I think not👍😎

The Brian Kennedy effect. lol.

I want a bike like yours because it looks so cool

[@zackbone1327]

We rode there a couple weeks ago. Awesome spot.

[@t20sgrunt36]

Love your vids. Hate to see you leave NW AR. You really made the area seem even more appealing. On your way out of AR, check out Shepard Mountain Bike Park in Ironton, MO. It's fairly new and very raw and chunky. Also, some great relaxing places near the bike park like Johnson Shut Ins, Elephant Rock, Taum Sauk Falls, Jacks Fork River, Echo Bluff, all the Natural Springs, and more. Google it all- it's super nice and some of the clearest rivers in the state. You deserve a little downtime :)

I prefer drovers to herd cattle on trails in Arkansas. In my past Arkansas visits I discovered and explored where none of our species had trod. By locating and tool excavation of an entry buried by the previous Ice Age. Which I continue to do elsewhere when not off-road on my Suzuki DR-650.

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

Those are some dark creepy woods just teeming with sasquatch activity. Arches and structures all over the place. I bet if you go through your videos you might see one pop out behind a tree especially from Arkansas

[@jrbechthold]

🤣

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

@@jrbechthold in 2009 l saw a sasquatch on a trail ride. Probably one of the craziest, surreal things I've ever seen. That's where my name comes from

Nah I ride there everyday only copperheads

[@vinkale]

great trail. love it

[@eatnosenuggets]

Great content!

[@VisualSOLUTIONSMedia]

What's your audio setup? 2 wirelesses to an audio recorder? Love it, and the whole AR bunch! Great trails, great guys and gnarly rocky climb at 11:40!!!

[@laeljon]

Started racing in Arkansas late 80's early 90's...

[@alejandronovelo1265]

11:17 BK to the rescue!

[@droneflyer5065]

What camera and gimbal system are you currently using? Saw your older video about the GoPro and Karma gimbal. Ever figure out what works best???

[@totalchaos80]

Gotta tell you, everytime you release a video from Arkansas it's creating conflict for me. I was all set for my summer trip to go to Asheville this year, but Arkansas looks wayy better. I'm kind of turned off by all the climbing and hike a bike in Pisgah. I think it's going to be brutal in the summer heat. On the other hand, Bentonville just looks like singletrack heaven, where I can ride everyday without needing recovery days in-between riding days. Only problem is Bentonville is a much longer drive for me.

[@TheOlafmetal]

Summer is not the best time to ride in AR. The heat and humidity make it rough although many people can tolerate it better then me.

[@totalchaos80]

@@TheOlafmetal I thin i can tolerate it as long as i'm not doing huge climbs all day

[@DMMTB]

I 2nd what Raymond said .... I assume you have a Mic on your local guides

[@seanmiller2115]

What Camera do you use. I trail ride and want to get a cam. The clarity/ quality of your videos are much better compared to some I watch.

[@azmtb93]

Wow I'm a Nepal 🤗🇳🇵

[@knordberg]

Where are you heading next? Inquiring minds need to know.

[@miniMEGA29]

When you mentioned how much golf courses costs to do versus trail system I thought about the fact that golf courses have fee to use them but using mountain bike trails is free. There should be some kind of financial system to get more money coming into these organizations who make these trails.

[@CoderShare]

Private bike parks do exist.

[@miniMEGA29]

@@CoderShare Yeah, for sure. But they are in a minority.

[@TheAngryHusky]

I have been hearing that they are planning on installing trail donation stations at trailheads all around Arkansas. From what I have been told, they will have a data matrix on the sign that you can scan and send a donation for trail maintenance. That's a good start.

[@DavidGodwin]

@@TheAngryHusky luvtrails.com/ is what several clubs, including the OORC are using to help generate donations from riders. It syncs with Strava, and alerts you to make a donation to the supporting organization based in how many miles of trails you rode that they are responsible for.
