Wheels on the ground in Bentonville | Mountain Biking Slaughter Pen

👕 BKXC jerseys are almost sold out! bkxc.store
It's been MANY years since I've ridden the trails in Northwest Arkansas and since then they've had a mountain bike trail building BOOM. It started in Bentonville and now the entire region is dedicating resources to creating awesome experiences for mountain bikers.

Maybe I missed it from an earlier vid, but if not, I think I spotted a ring on Sarah's finger, congrats Brian!

[@exhausteddog819]

Yup, noticed that at 3 minutes. Congratz!

I grew up in Bentonville knowing Sam Walton and going to school with his grandkids. It’s pretty crazy seeing all the changes.

[@TheLoamRanger]

That's it, right there. Exactly what I always *want* to do for every location I ride/film... spend more than two days there! This looks like it's going to be a fun one. When Beth and I went, we really enjoyed the trails a bit north in Eureka Springs and the Passion Play area. Worth the hour drive, for sure.

[@bkxc]

Yeah man, I've got a big ole list of places to ride! So cool to have a spot to settle into and go deep.

[@landonmartin885]

@@bkxc you should go to centennial park

[@SeatTimeClips]

@@bkxc Make sure you reach out to Slaughter Trail Guides, Dustin and Nick know the area EXTREMELY well. They'll show you some of the 'future trails' as well ;)

[@denisewhite6995]

Hobbs is also a fun place to ride and sit and eat at the lake on Karst trail

[@ethanmartin626]

Do you plan on commenting on Arkansas new laws that protect medical professionals from denying assistance to those that identifying at lgbtq or does bentonville pay too good

[@kylescicluna1541]

Brian: I don't know why my derailleur is doing these weird sounds Also Brian: *Murders derailleur every time he drops in*

[@richdrewtherideseries]

“Don’t get fully turned over” 😂😂 So pumped you two are here for so long. Can’t wait to get you in The Ride Series mix and take the teachings out on the trail. You WILL ride Hammer Down as it’s intended 👊🏻

[@Andrew.strong]

You should come to Shepherd Mountain for opening day.

[@douglaswalbourne-gough7203]

Just back to mtn biking after a 7 year hiatus and found this channel a few days ago. Have been devouring the content (particularly loved the BC Bike race and the Fort William vids). Cannot wait for the Western Newfoundland trails to emerge from the snow but your content is getting me through until then. Thanks!

[@bkxc]

Awesome to hear that!

[@ChadLudlow]

welcome to the time sink!

[@enchantedparka3679]

Bentonville (and its trails) looks like a booming spot! Nice spot for a mini vacation.

[@donnbialik9085]

If you love mountain biking......it's one of the greatest cities on earth. We go once a year!

[@pmarston25]

Making my first trip down this weekend and was thinking "I need a new BKXC video of Bentonville to show me the trails" and you deliver!!

[@BryanKeller724]

me too, should be awesome

[@TheMicpat]

Looking at heading out the Sunday-Wed.

[@carolynt3184]

Love when Sarah’s around!

[@drewfamilyadventures]

at 3 mins notice the ring on her finger, I don't think she is going anywhere

[@federicomarmolejo1952]

"That's is you and me babe in 20 years" golden!!!!! can't wait for the rest of the videos!! what a place!!!

[@Covingsworth]

Nothing like some BKXC to start the day

[@joebikes]

Awesome ! So cool to see our trails represented so well :) I hope I get to say hi to you on the trails. Do you have a group ride scheduled or a meet and greet? And if you're looking for some awesome back-country rides, Lake Wedington is just a little South of Bville. Hobbs State Park is also a great option. Of course, Bville has it all... especially awesome session trails! Hope you and Sarah have a great rest of your time here!

[@BodieSelf]

I was thinking the same thing! Love seeing this area represented by larger youtube channels.

[@bikingwithryan5968]

Your in a awesome area. Hopefully I can visit here soon.

[@GHinWI]

Pretty sure he does these videos with a time delay...he was probably there a week ago in reality.

[@joebikes]

@@GHinWI Yup, but Brian also said he's going to be here for a month so I think he's still here 😅

[@RomansDowntime]

Revolution mobile bike repair seems like a huge perk on top of an already solid biking city.

[@LearnCodeByGaming]

Drew's great, would recommend

[@zdream720]

"I wasn't socialized properly..." lolll

[@scottibass]

It's so cool to see Sarah ride, she's has such an upright style in the bike and you think that she's going to topple over but she never does.

[@slater1182]

When did Sarah join the channel. Great addition.

[@drewfamilyadventures]

@@slater1182 Months ago, she rode with him a few times during the 50 State Shred, then she jumped in the van to join on the 50 State Shred and it has been true love ever sense.

[@nwamtb]

Love my home trails!!! Glad you enjoyed Bentonville!

[@ericthatcher]

I love riding in Bentonville it’s Disneyland for MTB

[@bernz0ne]

Bentonville gives me weird vibes.

[@joelcampbell8161]

A month! Jealous and looking forward to videos that will come from this trip. Thanks for what you do.

[@cdygreen]

Thanks for stopping by, bud! That Friday weather was supreme.

[@soniaperez4221]

If you are still in Bentonville on April 3rd, you should come check out Women of OZ! We have a flagship ride the first Saturday of every month. Because of COVID we start from multiple locations, but we have our fundamental skills clinics and tent station at the airplane field. Would love for you and Sarah to come and see what we're all about! (Getting more women on bikes!!) Also maybe ride with some of the rad ladies of WOZ too!

[@st.philomena_tagapanchrist2277]

This encourage me to build a mtb

[@crizouch1]

Oh man! My daughter and I were riding a bunch on Leopard's loop yesterday. It's her favorite trail. We missed you by a day.

[@RyanRidesPGH]

Looking forward to more from Bentonville! It seems like such an overwhelming place.

[@mr.laquintana2892]

Damn, I wish Bentonville was in MY backyard! Good stuff!

[@johnnydoe66]

Try Airship Coffee Shop over near Coler Trails....My friends and I went to Bentonville last November and had a great time, next trip I plan on riding the "Back Forty" and add in the Ledges. Enjoy your month in Bentonville

[@bike_somm]

Great stuff guys/gals 👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼 Remember.. “it ain’t slippy if you got it” 👏🏼 haha

So jealous what you guys got in the states Stay save 🇳🇱

[@neilclements4266]

What a great place, Definitely need to visit Bentonville one day.

[@petedog9581]

Great to see more MTB tourism that is not just a ski park/bike park.

[@knordberg]

Looking forward to this month of rides. Bentonville is very intriguing.

[@BerserkerNick]

My mom lives near Bentonville in Bella Vista and told me there were a bunch of mountain bike trails, it's awesome to finally see a video of what to expect this coming summer

[@CoderShare]

I've been thinking of doing exactly this. Go spend a month in Bentonville while I can work from home. East coast office hours let me get off at 4 and go ride.

[@donnbialik9085]

Why did I have to go into healthcare?! I want to work from home (Bentonville) for a month!!!!

Already have an AirBNB booked for Labor Day weekend! Thanks for the deep dive into Bentonville. I always check your channel before I go to a new destination.

[@glitchman3194]

It's JUMP progression time !!!! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the ride

[@tannerwhitesell8081]

1. Love to see Sarah in the vids 2. Super cool that you are gonna stay there for a while and take a more in depth tour of the area. Very smart change of pace from the 50 state shred. 3. I give it less than a year before you move there hahaha

[@gkrides1657]

Really cool! I'm moving from New Jersey to north Dallas and will stop by Bentonville on the journey there, can't wait!

[@Stankbait68]

Can't wait to see you shred Centennial Park! If you're looking for another wet weather ride, Lake Wedington is solid.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

I love Bentonville! Can't wait to go back!

[@ashtonmorley2184]

Gotta check out Schroen Train, that one was so much fun when I was there!

[@mtnbikfrut]

Agree. One of the best in Slaughter Pen

[@NelsenPhelps]

Currently under renovation and taped off.

[@zxtenn]

Nice to see Sarah back. Thats 1000 miles from me here in NC so i doubt i will be heading there but looks like lots of fun. Yeah i watch Rich a lot, he is a NATURAL athlete on a bicycle especially for age 50, his Brother is also a great rider, he just released a Bentonville video too.

[@MrC72k]

Heading there mid-April! Can’t wait!

[@dadoutside6819]

Hit up Airship on Fifth. They roast for a lot of other businesses, work with growers and make great coffee. Less of a tourist vibe and more of a chill local vibe. Welcoming folks. Glad you came back to town.

[@JaredHoff]

Thank you for sharing another bucket list ride with us!

[@liamhildebrant8867]

i love the trails there its amazing

[@BikeLifewithRob]

FEASTURES!!! That same Boo Boo jump bucks a lot of people! Can't wait for Rich to get you jumping a little more.

[@brennen-nwamtb789]

[@methodbikes4696]

Dudebro, can't believe we didn't run into you while you were filming...AR is our 1/2 day drive Go-To. (7 riding days there in March) Bentonville, Bella Vista, Eureka Springs, Rogers, Fayetteville...everybody's building trails down there! Good times! Sick vid!

[@davidodell4687]

The wife and I are going last week of October can't wait

[@csears89]

amazing stuff out here!! for everyone wondering in this video he has covered about 5 percent of the oz trails! Can't wait for more oz trail videos!! The best is yet to come!!

[@williambrownlie6929]

This is an amazing idea, like an indepth critical residency of trails and local authority approaches. This might be just what is needed to highlight and compare good and bad, and show where and more importantly, why, improvements can be made.

[@abstraddic0442]

Sweet. It's about explode with snakes also good old spring. Watch your step out there. This one was very refreshing to start the day ...watching BKXC make a mess out of patty cakes.

[@coolwinner05]

So jealous, right now. Can't wait to ride! Still got some snow here around Quebec city!

[@franks1875]

Okay, you’ve got me fueling up the RV for a trip from upstate NY to Bentonville. Nice enjoyable video!!

[@judevenalian5008]

You have one of the strongest climb games if not the strongest of all the YT bike channels...

[@DirtyPandaMTB]

Dayum Bentonville looks so much fun!!! Deffinitly going on my ever growing list of places to go MTB!!!

[@markrisser735]

I was there about half a year ago, a lot of fun!!

[@craigelliott12]

A damn Mazi ng ..... so good to see you guys riding together .... and am as jealous as hell about those trails.... Never take for granted what you have there . Here in South Africa we would give a few left testicles to ride in a place like that.. Be safe .. Ride well

[@Lughnerson]

With all the crazy news of this world, I am so thankful BKXC is still doing what he does. And glad to see Sarah too.

[@macadeross2982]

Like you said, about 2 weeks after you left the whole park is in bloom it is super cool.

[@marysullivan1588]

If only all states had mountain biking like that !

[@jinavl]

Congrats Brian and Sarah!!

[@SeatTimeClips]

DANG! We were there two weeks ago!!! We had a blast. Would have been a bit more adventurous to have ridden with y'all on the trail for a few laps! Your month is going to be GLORIOUS!!!

[@TheStache_MTB]

Stoked you’re in my neck of the woods. Hope to see yo around the trails or on the square. I live right off of Leopards Loop.

[@paulsewell9849]

I live by leopards loop too. I can see it from my window. Living the dream.

[@senditwithsquatch6777]

Very very excited for this!!! I can't wait for post-covid so I can travel! Hoping for Quebec this year and maybe BC and US next year!

[@RyanKime]

30 days?!?! Yes! As someone that rides this area as much as I can, I’m excited to see this series. Lots of rain this time of year, but hopefully it stays dry and you’re able to get in some good rides. Blowing Springs is good while other trails dry out.

[@dariomario2603]

“Get the air babe” 🤣

[@Br0ckUs1234]

I know I haven't seen a BKXC video for a while but I've definitely missed something here!?! Did Brian just say "Get some air babe!" While boosting rollers for air time!? 😱 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@marcusrose9066]

Love the channel. I also find myself in NW Arkansas dealing with an aging family member. I have loved riding these trails as well and look forward to running into you at some point and saying thank you for all the great videos.

[@jeramybracken7880]

Bro I can watch your videos all day.

[@paytonemmons4952]

Excited to see you living your best life Brian!

[@mtb4all569]

I will be there in May! Can't wait!

[@lukerisser9163]

I definitely recommend a trail called rocky ridge in slaughter pen. If you cross the road you can find a zone with a few trails including this one. It has an awesome jump line at the start, and finished with steep rock gardens that end on a skinny to drop. Probly the most fun trail I’ve ever ridden

[@geoffreyfowler9198]

Really liking these in depth destination visit videos 👍

[@AdventureAwaits4u]

BKXC killing jumps!?! Great job on Boo Boo. Hope to see you hitting the drops on Drop the hammer. 🤘🏼😎👍🏼

[@donnbialik9085]

That platform you started on for Boo Boo and Choo Choo is right behind Briartown area, which has lots of Airbnb geared for mountain bikers. It's hands down the best area to stay when you visit Bentonville for biking! Lots of rentals on Fillmore Street!

[@BlandMan5000]

That was awesome looking. Great video, can't wait to see what the month brings

[@noalandesman1219]

I love seeing Sarah ride, the videos you do together are great

[@OffGridColoradoLiving]

I'm enjoying this series - have not been to Bentonville yet. If you come up to Durango, Colorado I will be happy to share our trails with you. Durango is about to go BIGger than ever with a new bike park planned. Gotta LOVE Arkansas though. You have to holler; "WOOOOO PIG sooeeey" !!! Check out SW AR and the LoveIt trail etc.
