Zone 4/Is this the HARDEST trail in Bentonville?

[@AprilRideMTB]

That trail is a beast! Was bummed to see the logs gone last time but Gary said they should be back eventually!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

haha, you would love those damn logs!! That was the hardest part for me by far. I'm down to get my "Trials" learn on and go for it!

[@njsoccerguy]

Looks like our North Jersey flow trails!!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I’ll cross North Jersey off my riding list then 😉🤣

[@ixcel83]

I like seeing the climbs shown. Nice job!

[@tonynapont1804]

great video!! can't wait to get back there.

[@familylifefirst]

Nice! I dig it. Right up my alley. Thanks fellas!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

You’ll dig it!!

[@painterabc123]

I will be in Bentonville for the first time in My 2024 and plan to give this trail a try. Not sure how it will go though!

[@kenbest76]

I exited at the first bailout. Getting covered in - and consequently removing- a million of those little black thistle things while getting video of everyone on the wood feature didn't help. 😆#notafan

[@crappypatty]

Looks very annoying in the funnest way possible haha. I wanna try to clean it!

[@thatonegorilla1999]

thank you rich drew for showing which trail not to ride 😅

[@philipaschliman1477]

Hey thanks for showing us the shortcut back from Coler to Slaughter Pen today. Subscribed!

[@okbiker]

Give the camera person props! Zone 4 isn't easy to hike, much less doing it while holding a camera. My buddy and I "rode" it back in September (2023) and I am sure we walked more than we rode. Looking forward to doing better next time.

[@ctnebraska]

X2 on not missing those "trial" logs...zone 4 is no joke, not for the faint of heart.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I've heard they're making a comeback unfortunately.

[@ctnebraska]

@@richdrewtherideseries it was the reason I opt out on it.. those log sucked

[@jasonferrier]

They haven’t been put back yet, as of Monday when I attempted it.

[@jnstroik]

The builds out there are on another level

[@exbeast7521]

So sad I haven't been able to head up to Slaugher in a year. Have you tried Mount Kessler in Springdale yet? It's a gnarly little trailset

[@rodspov1915]

Great trail and skills Rich. That background music reminded me of some old school Cicciolina MTB videos kkkk

[@christophersmay4508]

So you are into fitness...?

[@jasonlorance1918]

Gonna give it a shot next week. Not in great shape yet, so probably lots of breaks! 😊

[@TheOlafmetal]

it's a nice hike...

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Start slow, keep your eyes up, you’ll get there. Once you get 3 or 4 runs on it, you’ll get more comfortable with all the “tough” spots and where they’re located. Also gets more fun the more you do it 😉

[@BoonMountainBike]

Hello Rich. Bo here. My buddies and I were just there last moth and met you in the middle of the road. 🤣We really had a great time out there. So many trails. definitely coming back. Hope to make it to one of your classes. Couldn't make the Austin one.

[@justsayin3600]

Great name Bo!

[@BoonMountainBike]

@@justsayin3600 😂

[@Getoutside2day]

You sir, deserve a taco after this ride 😂. Seriously all thise Zones are no joke. I rode at Handcut Hollow but didn’t see these trails. I’m looking forward visiting soon. Thanks Rich for sharing and looking like a boss on those features 🔥

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Or a cookie 😉. The entrance to this Zone is right after you cross over the gravel road. There’s multiple ways to get in there though. HandCut is my favorite spot right now!

[@Bittersfamily0424]

Dam Brother, hardcore!

[@justsayin3600]

Hey Rich, I missed your Ride Series in Georgetown, TX. I had just got back from Spring Break in Switzerland and Austria. I got Type B influenza and was sick. I'll keep an eye out for when you come back here so I can try and become a better rider.

[@charlieplatt931]

Great run at it Rich! Man, that is one tough sucker. I'm going back to try it with my Levo SL, may be the help I need!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Let me know how it goes Charlie. I'm curious if that extra assist will help ya out.

[@wg2060]

Always dig a nice techy climb vid. That looks like a really fun challenge. I’d be gassed and dab but wanting to try and try again. Unfortunately I’m on the wrong coast

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Gotta plan a trip and let's charge it together!

[@ImRokhound21]

What is the total distance from zone 1 to the end of zone 4?

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It's 1.17 miles total

[@ImRokhound21]

@@richdrewtherideseries must be even more challenging than it looks if you were that gassed out without even starting zone 4 itself. We will be back there the week of August 16th I'm hoping I can do a full pull

[@richdrewtherideseries]

@@ImRokhound21 It's pretty darn challenging! The more you do it, the easier it is to keep your heart rate down. Shoot me a message when you're in town, I'd love to ride it with ya!

[@jasoncapecod]

looks like ringwood nj

[@johndaw7764]

Your cameraman is underpaid

[@adventuresofkbp6823]

Want to ride a fun flow trail in Bentonville? Naw, let's climb a gut busting janky tech trail instead! 😢

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Yup, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense 🤦🏻‍♂️. What I dig about it is that you end at Interplanet Janet, which is the best flow trail we have in my opinion.

[@mrvwbug4423]

I wonder if that trail is going to claim more victims than the skinnies on All American do? For a climb trail there's some high consequence features there

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I bet it will! Couple of really wet spots, those are tricky.
