Indeed dude! Just wait till you hit Mad Hatter.

[@timearhart5592]

Im glad I saw this video while still in bentonville!! Huntley gravity zone is amazing and air raid was so fun today!! Good to meet you the other day on the trails. Thanks for all these great videos Rich Tim from 🇨🇦

[@ronin550]

Outstanding, can't wait to ride all of little sugar, nice video as always😎🚴🏾‍♂️🤘🏾💪🏾🤙🏾

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks dude! You'll love it!

[@888BRAK]

adore you, Chenal. traveled to Bentonville. There are numerous films regarding bikes and trails, but not one that shows you where to park or how to get to the trails. To travel to the castle, just use GPS and play dumb. Good luck. Screenshots from a drone or MAP would be useful for all films.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I appreciate that input. I’ll see if we can get more of that added in moving forward.

[@Irishman001]

After watching your videos we have a trip planned to Bentonville in June. Your a great promoter and love the instructional videos. You have helped my son and I a ton. Keep up the great work! Hopefully we see you out on the trails

[@richdrewtherideseries]

That’s great to hear! You and the family will have an awesome trip. Glad the videos have been a help and I hope to run into you on the trail 👊🏻

[@bryanpatrick3070]

won't regret it man super fun

[@martynashtonGMBN]

Cool vid Dude. Heading there today.

[@traderryan713]

Sick. Almost done building my van. Taking a trip out there for a couple weeks no doubt.

[@N3tech]

Dang. Saw this just after getting back from Bentonville… guess I’ll need to go back!

[@paulkerr9831]

Rich you are keeping me sane during this pandemic. Thanks dude...

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Just trying to do what I can my man. More to come 👊🏻

[@iandewey2623]

I'm there now can't wait to ride 🤘

[@SkinnyAndFast]

Moving out here in a couple months. Praying the locals have some big jumps/ phat flow lines some where! If not I’m binging a shovel! Lol Either way this place is going to be awesome for the family! Can’t wait!

[@pedalwithus]

What a great vid! Thanks for the POV and intel.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

You are very welcome!

[@pedalwithus]

@@richdrewtherideseries its great to see riders at our age running proper pedals and sending it.

[@kylewis330]

My wife spit her drink out on the "laser beams" line, good one! haha!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I'm pumped she picked up on it. It's blown by many people so far. ;)

[@ericnelson5725]

Excellent vid! I subscribed, I'm up here in St. Charles MO and I'm super looking forward to coming down there asap! cheers man!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Awesome! Make it happen Eric, you wont' be disappointed!

[@bltbiking7448]

Awesome work Rich! Shock and Awe is my favorite!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thank you and it’s my favorite as well! I just love how fast you can get going.

[@Area51Films]

can't wait for the Rich Drew guided tour when we come back to town!!! Great video man!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Oh yeah, gonna be rad!

[@thomasmrozovich7631]

I just rode by this place on a 2 day trip to Bentonville. My bike gang didn't want to ride any jumps, so we skipped it, but I'm dying to go back now.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Oh man, that's a bummer. You must go back!

[@johnreid4107]

Looking forward to this! Great video

[@richdrewtherideseries]

You’re gonna LOVE this spot dude!! Excited to rip it with you at some point

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

This place looks so rad. Your videos are so confidence inspiring. I'm pumped to pre-ride, re-ride, and free-ride these trails. 😉

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Can’t wait for you to make a visit and rip it with me dude 🤘🏻

[@sparksfly369]

Looks super fun. Looking forward to doing these.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

You’ll dig this area Jeff! Super fun!

[@jokermtb]

that's a lot faster than I can ever get on my local trails!

[@oldmantricksmtb758]

I'll be there on the 17th can't wait. Took your cabin advice and plan to get sendy.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Heck yeah!! Can't wait!

[@StrengthCircusDD]

I was hoping to see some Bella Vista trails soon! This area looks perfect building those skills.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hey Taylor! Hoping to do some more videos on the surrounding trails, it’s an amazing mix of terrain. Stay tuned!

[@philipnelson79]

Staring down the camera mid whip is so steezy lol. Keep doing you Rich 😄

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Haha, thanks for noticing 😉

[@tiagoweyne6661]

As always great content!!!

Thank you Tiago!

[@brockwebb4326]

Awesome video!!!

[@dbennett1119]

Great Content Rich! Sending love from the Carolinas

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thank you so much! Hoping to get out your way at some point soon.

[@ddialogue]

Love your channel because the information, reviews, riding and production quality are excellent! Those cheetah print gloves, however, NEED. TO. GO. 😁

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Dave! People seem to love those gloves man, don’t know if I can retire them 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

[@jeffretey]

Thanks for the overview Rich! Between you and Brian’s overview of Little Sugar it gives me a good feel. Will be in the area starting tomorrow for 5 days. Hope to see you out there teaching BK how to jump, lol

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Heck yeah Jeff!! It’s an amazing place! Shoot me a message if you need any insight

[@ericjoziah5085]

instablaster.

[@davidwhite9817]

This looks like a great little spot for a ride. It's similar to my local trail system here in Ballarat Australia. It has various skill level trails from green to double black diamonds and they can all be done in a couple of minutes with a couple of options for the climb back up, you can even get a ride back up in a car if you don't want to do the pedalling. Great Video Rich, keep up the good work.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hey Davo! Sounds a lot like what we have here. I’d love to get out there and ride it someday!

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Getting me excited!!!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

You should be man, rad spot!

[@BikeLifewithRob]

@@richdrewtherideseries Hoping to in March or April

[@BretMcCormick8]

Rich, this is great. Solid scouting report. I recommend a new rating "Dex Approved". For the moment, that's about my speed. Keep cranking them out.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Haha, thanks Bret! I like that rating system

[@jedidiahwest4619]

Think Fireline is the fasted trail I’ve ever been on. If Coler had a chair lift, I’d be there all day. Lol

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Fireline is awesome as well!

[@oldmantricksmtb758]

Agreed 👍

[@bradenbruce2785]

I love fireside

[@bradenbruce2785]

Fireline

[@OutOfThisVan]

This is space x mission control. Due to windy conditions we're going to need you to take it down a notch. We're hopeful for clear skys tomorrow for a successful launch.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Roger that mission control. Wind appears low and skies are clear, time for launch 👊🏻👍🏻

[@sheawatson8095]

What gloves (and size) are you wearing here?!? My boyfriend and I were binging your videos and he freaked out when he saw these gloves! Would love to surprise him with some if possible! :)

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hey there Shea! These are the ether print glove from Zoic. I wear a medium because I like the tight. GREAT GLOVES!!!

[@sheawatson8095]

Thank you SO much!! Love your videos (and we get a kick out of Lil Dex Man)!

Been waiting on this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hope you like it. It was a fun one to shoot, such a rad spot!

[@darren_springer]

Hey Rich, great video. I love wathing and learning through some of the tips you throw in there. I'm from Tahoe, but I was riding B-ville a couple of weeks ago and made some vids myself. Hope you can check them out. PS, Bonus points for the OG gray. I'm 55 and am rocking the gray myself, fun to show the youngsters how to do it!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Darren! Gotta embrace that gray, it's only getting worse ;)

[@milktrader]

Awesome review, can’t wait to try it. How does Shock & Awe jumps compare to the jump line near Armadillo on All American?

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hey Dan! This spot is way faster, but a bit mellower in my opinion. I think you'll love it!

[@goldenspanner1819]

Great video , are you riding the transition spur? If so what size do think would suit 6ft1 rider.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thank you! I am on the Spur and I’d think 6’1 would be an XL. I’m 5’10 and this L fits great!

[@damonendel4847]

Unbelievable! Do they just build trails there all day long? Every time I come back from there they’ve built more!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I agree Damon! They are building at an alarming rate and I couldn't be more excited.

[@damonendel4847]

@@richdrewtherideseries Ever ride the Hot Springs area? Even their trails are legit!

[@phoenixeasyrider6026]

What's a decent amount of speed (MPH)? All you guys are at such a different level and era than me and the scenery on your videos passes by a lot faster than it does in my trail rides. Love your videos! Loved the Ride Series course. The fastest I've gone on the trail (according to my Wahoo) is 24mph and I'm ok with that.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Haha, 24mph is a VERY decent speed! You make a good point with this question, I think I need to start using some telemetry for these videos.

[@jabt1385]

Great video drew, my friends and I are planning a trip to B-ville, since we had never been to these trails and we really like to ejoy the time there, do you think it would take a whole day to pre-ride, re-ride , free-ride? Since we are staying for two days! Thank you! Tony here from Texas!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hey there! Pumped to hear you are heading out this way. You'll certainly need a few days to catch as much of the trail as you can! For this particular zone, a slow run down each will get you acclimated and then you guys can rip it from there! If you'd like some more insight or maybe even some on trail coaching, shoot us an email [e-mail]

[@jabt1385]

@@richdrewtherideseries thank you we’ll definitely do it! Hope you can come to visit to east texas! (Tyler Tx) we’ve got some gnarly trails that it would be very cool for you to review them hope you consider it! 🙏🏼

[@BirdsEyeMedia]

Any suggestions for overnight parking with a Class B? Don’t really need hookups.

[@okayatbikes1909]

Quality content as always! It would be super awesome if you could show a map snippet of where to park, especially for Bella Vista trails. Also, was the POV footage unusually grainy for anyone else?

[@okayatbikes1909]

Update: POV footage looked better on a different device

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It actually gets better after the premier I think. It's weird that it does that.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

thanks Christina! I'm gonna drop an explanation in the text.

[@okayatbikes1909]

@@richdrewtherideseries ok! I have heard something like that before-didn’t know if it needed someone’s attention. This area is on my list next time my availability and trail conditions coincide.

[@cjccww]

Imo that 4th jump on shock and awe (second one after the berm) seemed very short for the speed you can have. I definitely recommend slowing down going it the first time you ride at at speed. Otherwise that zone is so much fun!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I agree! Drop in, keep that flow and have fun!

[@jkm8089]

Now your spur or still have the medium from your buddy?

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hey there! It belongs to Transition and it’s a large. I’ve been riding it for about 6 months now and DIG IT!! Such a killer bike.

[@tonyb2809]

Great video Rich, can't wait to make it there one day. Quick question. I noticed you don't seem to have a favorite leading foot. Going off jumps with sometimes the left foot forward, and other times the right . Did you have to intentionally practice to make yourself comfortable going off jumps with either foot forward? I, like most riders, have a favorite front foot riding position, and it's what I'm more comfortable with on bigger features. But I do try to force myself to ride "switch" when I can. Thanks!

[@dougbrandt2275]

How big is that drop?

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Not that big at all, maybe 3 1/2 feet. You’re carrying a decent amount of speed into it and it has a great landing!

[@dougbrandt2275]

@@richdrewtherideseries Me and my buds are coming up from Austin soon. This is definitely on the list!
