TOP 5 Bentonville Bike Fest Trails! MUST RIDE

[@joebikes]

COMMENT! Do you agree with this list? What trails would you put in your Top 5? Thanks guys!

[@mmodtomic7119]

I love Fire Line but they really need to fix that pedaly section...and put in a couple wall rides!

[@joebikes]

Agreed, that middle section can be a bit pedaly. Wall rides just to the sides of the jumps are a fantastic idea! 🤠

[@mmodtomic7119]

@@joebikes Ever been down to Gregory Park in Fayetteville? They've got a couple fun wall rides there.

[@ctnebraska]

good list...I spend A LOT of time doing sessions on the top of Cease...plus Wild Fire repeats. Drop the Hammer is my number 1 yes, I get you say it's short but the first step up is so much fun after the drop

[@joebikes]

Hammer is one of the best session spots for sure 🤠

[@kez2252]

All great trails, but I'd have to give Air Raid the top spot over Mad Hatter 🤘

[@joebikes]

Air Raid is so good! It's not too far away from Bentonville also 🤠

[@TheCreepyhorseman]

I don't think I'm capable of riding any of these, but it sure is cool to see them in action!

[@joebikes]

Thanks! It took me a few years to get comfortable on big jumps and features. I had a goal a few months after riding: be able to ride the majority of trails at bike parks, and not injure myself in the process 😅 I am stoked that I made it there! And now I’m setting new goals to hit larger jumps 👍

Nice video. My top 5 are way different but I enjoy pedaling and don’t hate drops but don’t go out of my way to session them. Obviously we both love the castle trails as I see you out there at least once a week lol My top 5 would be: 1. Midevil 2. Jessie’s Last Stand 3. Rim Trail 4. Interplanet Janet 5. Blowing Springs (North Side) flow loop Honorary mention: Hammer Down & right across the street enter Red Barn 2 Barn Burner 2 Tristan’s which I think these 3 connected as 1 long segment is by far the best single segment in Bentonville Pretty cool we have so much greatness here we can both have a top 5 list that is almost totally different huh? 👏🏽🚴👊🏽

[@joebikes]

That is a great list! There are so many incredible trails in the area... no matter what you ride you're going to have a great time for sure 🤠 Linking up Barn Burner and Tristens is incredible!

[@Bradthewelder1]

I'm not 100% sure but I believe drop the hammer is just a feature on Cease and Desist. My list is close, 1 Cease and Desist 2 Mad Hatter 3 Boneyard 4 Family Flow and 5 Air Raid unless you include Leatherwood my list would be a lot different

[@HighlineGroupVT]

I am curious about the area in general, seems you may know it well. What is the word on Bella Vista(in general) ? What is the best area(not trail)in the area if that makes sense? TYIA

[@joebikes]

That's a great list! You could be right about the hammer... last I knew it was a separate section according to the trail apps. I hope to do more videos on best trails in Northwest Arkansas. A few trails out in Eureka will definitely be on that list 🤠

[@Zen_Photographyy]

Just curious is your camera mounted on the front of your helmet? I just recently got an action camera and have a chest mount, but just looking for different angles to try out thanks.

[@joebikes]

It is mounted “perfectly” on my chest mount 🤠 which I prefer personally. I find that helmet mounts and chin mounts flatten out the trail and make things too smooth.

[@jstrahn]

I'd add Air Raid to the list.

[@joebikes]

Air Raid is a great one! I didn't explain in this video, but one of my criteria was "distance from bike fest" and if you could pedal to the trail from the grounds. Air Raid is pretty far away from the festival grounds. That's a fantastic trail though and folks should definitely ride it when they're here! Air Raid sheds water well also 🤠

[@Laquoquious]

Best place to ride imo near bentonville is Centennial park in faytteville. Chunky and redrum are super badass and there really arent many videos on it.

[@joebikes]

Yes absolutely Centennial has some fantastic trails! I need to go out there and do some videos on those trails 👍

[@murphdoesit]

I love Bentonvilles bike trails. My kids will Spread my ashes there.😂

[@joebikes]

And I hope that is a good long way off 😅

[@pedalwithus]

why are these the top trails during Bike Fest?

[@joebikes]

I just think these are some of the must ride trails when folks come here for BikeFest 🤠 they're are plenty of other incredible trails to ride though!
