Cali is soooooo far behind not adopting and embracing MTB like Bentonville, I'm blown away at this awesome place.

[@mtb_alan]

We just need some benevolent mtb-loving billionaires.

[@in_10z]

Going to fest for my first time this year. Can't wait!

[@twowheelsforlife]

Hope you faired the storm well! I was there this year for the first time as well. Tornado was sketch! Our Bnb was across the street from the event.

[@in_10z]

@twowheelsforlife yep a huge tree missed the house I was staying in by 5 feet. Woulda been a direct hit. It was a scary night but all others were incredible. Can't wait to go back.

[@LevoSteve-O]

Nice meeting you, man! I was under drop the hammer when you and Rob came flying up. One of my favorite memories from Bike Fest. Everyone was there! One big party in the woods🤘

[@mtb_alan]

Ha! That's rad! Heck yeah...definitely a party in the woods! 🤘🏾

[@davidlandrigan7067]

This is the best Bentonville fest video I have seen. Compliments to the Chef.

[@mtb_alan]

Wow, thank you!

[@obiwun32]

Alan can ride! Made those trails look easy. Some of those jumps are much bigger than they appear on GoPro. 👏🏻

[@mtb_alan]

😅🙏🏾

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

Good times indeed my dude! See ya there next year 🤘

[@mtb_alan]

Heck yeah, man! 🤘🏾

[@EvansMTBSaga]

It was so rad riding with you all those days! And great work capturing and editing this vlog, I loved the music and the accurate portrayal of the event.

[@mtb_alan]

Yo! Glad we connected up. Thanks for showing us around. You got a pretty rad backyard! 🤘🏾

[@dukeofmtb]

Nice! Haven't been back to Bentonville in forever. Would be sweet to go back. Looks like ya'll had a fun time. 😁👍

[@mtb_alan]

Heck yeah! Looking forward to next year. Would be rad to connect of you go to the 2024 festival. 🤘🏾

[@dukeofmtb]

@@mtb_alan 🤞😊

[@bearwithmemtb]

Bentonville looks amazing, what an experience. Taking it easy after partying. Wise words ha ha.

[@mtb_alan]

Ha! Totally! Yeah...it was kind of surreal.

[@mtbtube1948]

Great stuff!!

[@mtb_alan]

It was a blast! Definitely worth the trip.

[@dems_mtb]

Awesome video!! Looks like great times!

[@mtb_alan]

It was a blast!

[@davidlandrigan7067]

I was so pumped watching that race scene…for the love of all that is mountain biking. I wish this type of thing for Temecula so bad.

[@mtb_alan]

That’d be rad!

[@bp7727]

Awesome time on the group ride creating some memories. Love the vibe of that place and your crew. Hope to catch ya again next year. And ya, being from TX, Wrights was the first place I got too. Good stuff.

[@mtb_alan]

Thanks for coming on the ride! Already looking forward to next year…and some Wright’s!

[@Biking_with_Akiva]

[@bud1lite]

My home state,This will be the #1 place one day I do believe….

[@mtb_alan]

It’s definitely a fun and unique place. Hard to compete with Whistler though.

[@CurtisCOT85]

I came for the mountain biking. I stayed for the mutton chops.

[@mtb_alan]

😆🙏🏾

[@RapidoRafi-MTB]

There must now be a Cafe in the middle of every major trail system!

[@mtb_alan]

Agreed. 💯

[@C2Architect]

Amazing trip Alan! Helps to have the Waltons money behind this development. EPIC!

[@mtb_alan]

The trip was epic! More to come. The city is an example of what investing in community resources and infrastructure can do. 😃

[@aaronburela432]

Cool Collab looks like a hell of time!

[@mtb_alan]

It was a blast!

[@trailpimp6369]

Sick

[@mtb_alan]

🤘🏾

[@TheButlerNZ]

3:47 I REALLY want to ride those steps...

[@mtb_alan]

🤘🏾

[@duckdiver5549]

epic! you're charging brother!!! are the locals cool with eMTBs?

[@mtb_alan]

Thanks! Most definitely. Ebikes are welcome.

[@MTBSHOGUN]

Sickkk ... When are you coming back up to SLO?

[@mtb_alan]

Yew! Not sure.

[@octodadmtbmartyrichards2862]

What sort of bike do you recommend for this place?

[@mtb_alan]

There's nothing steep and gnarly enough to warrant an Enduro. I had my Reign out there (160/170), and while it worked, it was too much bike. If I'd gotten my Trance X in time, it would be a much better option. With a 150 fork, it's got enough travel for the bigger hits but is sporty enough to keep the less steep trails fun. Ideally, you'd be on a trail eBike though. 😆 Hope that helps.

[@lagwall]

After all the GoPro talk last week... looks like it was a Great Trip!

[@mtb_alan]

It was an epic trip!

[@ManNomad]

Guess where I plan to retire in 3 1/2 years.

[@mtb_alan]

🤔😆

[@ericbennett-wu4zx]

Yeah man. Poor choice of background music. I’m out
