I really dig how you've been handing mics to the people you've been riding with. Not only do we get the POV camera and get to hear your commentary, it's awesome to hear the other rider's commentary even when they are far away from you. Excellent idea
This was the best mountain biking podcast interview I've heard to date. Selfless, empathetic, probing... and all done while riding some killer track blind. 👏👏👏
I'm an Arkansas native who lives within 90 minutes of all of the NWA trails, Mount Nebo, and Devil's Den. I'm new to Mountain biking and I cant believe I have waited so long to get into the sport considering the massive amount of incredible trails that are so close by! I am very grateful for the work you have done in Arkansas! I sincerely thank you.
@@siradinar agreed. born and raised in Rogers and nothing like what's available at Slaughter Pen/Coler/Railyard/etc was around when I was a kid (90s/2000s). love that it's here now!
Just spent 5 days in Arkansas riding because of your videos. Drove all the way from New York. Keep up the good work you’re inspiring riders and showing us what all these amazing places have to offer. Met several riders that were out there because of you as well. Thanks for all your hard work!
I'm Northwest Arkansas native overly impressed with what's going on around here used to not be much of anything to do if you didn't own a boat I hope you had a great time welcome and come back can't believe you came all the way from New York peace out
Trails are absolutely awesome . Turning into a real Mecca out there ! Gotta give a shout out to my heart surgeons who gave me a new aortic valve and triple bypass ! Hope to be out there someday soon on my Levo . So grateful to be still killin it at 70 . Thanks so much guys !
I’ve been mountain biking since I was a kid, and have a hobbyist trail builder since my teenage years. The organized effort that AR is putting into making their state an Mtb destination is quite remarkable. This trail is super impressive. Incredible incorporation of natural features. Hats off to the builders and some forward thinkers making it possible in AR.
This is, in my humble opinion, the best mountain biking channel on RUclips. While I can appreciate other channels who have some crazy visuals, this channel adds the dialog which adds another level to the ride. For instance, listening to this guy who was awarded a million dollar contract for trail building is eye opening. I cannot imagine the logistics behind all of that but he goes into some of the leg work like staying up until midnight doing paperwork and payroll. These are excellent points to learn about because while we have the privilege of riding these trails, we never know what went on to achieve the end result. Thank you for sharing these videos. I subbed.
Just saw an article today about these new trails...now your video. Vacationing there soon for hubby's birthday week!! Your videos have definitely been helpful as to what to ride!!
Great video! And I can't wait until these trails open this weekend! We are so blessed here with amazing trails... Devils Den is just 1 of several new trail systems opening this year here in NWA 🤓
BKXC just putting it out there my man, some of the terrain you blast down is way more gnarly than the majority of jumps/features you pass on. I have faith youll keep working on that cause you obviously have the capability to do it safely, push yourself and have fun
Man, that place looks amazing! Perfect example of leveraging the natural shape and bits of the land to make sick trail features. Can't wait to ride here someday. Keep up the good work!
Excellent on trail interview! It was so great to hear the crystal clear audio from you and the other riders. Keep up the great content. I’m jealous as ever, every time I see on of your videos.
I live 2 hours from Devils Den, I was there the opening day and went back a week later. The new additions are awesome, and even for an old slow guy the stoke factor was high. I have a few videos on my channel that covers more of the trails. We are blessed here in the Natural State to have so many new trails being built
I'm in Bentonville, so we have a lot of stunning trail and big money features. Nothing in the area competes with the natural beauty of those trails, and when I rode them, we didn't get to ride the advanced line. I will be there Thursday for the grand opening, and I cannot wait to hit the advanced lines, and see more of the stuff we missed back in early April.
I dropped two ton of sand stone rock at my local trail in Woburn . The exciting part of this is , they came from a house Winston Churchill owned during the war, it was part of maybe a couple of hundred tons that was excavated during a refurbishment .
Heya BKXC, watching your videos made me reserve a week to vacation in Bentonville in two weeks. Been adding the trails to the list of places I wanna ride.
I did this trail over the weekend on my hardtail. Most beautiful trail I have ever been on! Great work love the features and really flowy. MTB'er from Oklahoma and this was my first time I said "Dang I wish I had a seat dropper". Very Fun!!
Whatever you believe in, it honestly is Devine intervention I came across this specific video!!! I was really caught up with where my next mtb trip will be but not anymore, no question I’m going here!!
i live in fayetteville arkansas, NWA, and devils den is one of the coolest places out here. the amazing giant rocks and rockwork done by people years and years ago, really incredible. gotta thank the Walmart millions of $$ for all the MTB work up here, really been enjoying it
My MIL lives right off Tunnel Vision on the Sugar Creek system in AR and I'm totally spoiled by the convenience when I go down there. Gonna need to do a day trip to Devils Den in the near future!
If it is not already.. Mena, Arkansas should be on your radar. They recieved a good grant and the Walton's are putting money in. A crew from Canada is coming here starting spring 2023 to start building. Very big plans for Rich Mountain/ Mena!
Sick glasses, sick trails and what great guys (you and the builders). I love your vids. You're an inspiration and have increased the size of my bucket list with the videos you make. Keep up the great work.
Little bragging point: When chatting about pursuing the thing you love as a career move - my nephew was drafted by the San Francisco Giants this year (2021) after being named Player of the Year, Player of the Conference and All-American at Northeastern University. He broke numerous records and is already assured his place in the Hall of Fame. The point being that if a small town kid with a dream can work hard enough and stay focused enough to a passionate degree, then anyone can. Pursue that which you love and you will never work a day in your life.
19:25 I was thinking the same thing! Where does the dirt come for the berms? That's some red dirt Oklahoma/Texas stuff. I used to search that soil type out as a BMX kid, love that type of soil on a quad or BMX. You can shape it so easily. Sandy loam I think? Matt Hoffman knows I'm sure. Killer trail....I was thinking how hard I'd get beat on my hardtail 😂 I'm so glad I live 2 hours away. Made my first trip to Bentonville last weekend. Had a blast!

How can you live here and just be getting into mountain biking?😂 It actually took us a little while to get into it as well, so I'm just as guilty.🤣
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Don't be too hard on yourself - it wasn't always like this. The MTB trail explosion only happened in the last 5 years or so.
I live 5 minutes
@@siradinar agreed. born and raised in Rogers and nothing like what's available at Slaughter Pen/Coler/Railyard/etc was around when I was a kid (90s/2000s).

It's never too late...I'm planning a trip to Arkansas (from NJ), can't wait

Going underneath that little waterfall was cool as hell.
theres about 6 waterfalls and they r some on the walking trails that are cooool as fuckkk man. devils den is awesome
i did the trail but when i went there was no water.
I think you've found the new future of mtb RUclips here. Interviewing people while you ride is where it's at. Great work and keep it going 🤘
You know its a great place when all you hear is hahaha, whoa and yeahhhhh ! Every 2 or 3 feet. Love it. Great video

I love these philosopical talks and live lessons while showing of sick trails. Awesome video :D
I agree. Brian, I’d watch mtn biking interviews ( while mtn biking) any day
Just saw an article today about these new trails...now your video. Vacationing there soon for hubby's birthday week!! Your videos have definitely been helpful as to what to ride!!
Rock Solid always delivers. Can’t wait to ride this one
Great video! And I can't wait until these trails open this weekend! We are so blessed here with amazing trails... Devils Den is just 1 of several new trail systems opening this year here in NWA 🤓
Can't wait to shred Devil's den one day!
Oh same dude
That quote hit me "Think we are seeing an age of people who are willing to have less, to see more!"
This place looks AMAZING!! I really like how you give a mic to the guests and get some conversation in too. Great job.
Wow! One of the most beautiful, fun, and interesting trails with out being death defying. Great video!

Best one yet. Between the biking and the epic interview...you finally got me. Subscribed.
Lovin the real talk convos on the trail
I think this has to be one of the coolest looking trails I've ever watched you ride... so epic!
Man, that place looks amazing! Perfect example of leveraging the natural shape and bits of the land to make sick trail features. Can't wait to ride here someday. Keep up the good work!
These guys have taken trail building to another level. Amazing.
Imo that’s the best trail I’ve seen you ride. Looks absolutely awesome.
So stoked to have this around my area. Slaughter and Coler are amazing, but this is the type of riding I really look for.
Excellent on trail interview! It was so great to hear the crystal clear audio from you and the other riders. Keep up the great content. I’m jealous as ever, every time I see on of your videos.
This is too awesome. We 100% need this in the Sierra's (CA). Near Auburn and Tahoe. Who's with me?!
Get involved with FATTAC, if you're not already👍
FATRAC
@@t.o.f.t.s. Awesome! Will check em out.
I'm vicariously biking watching this video.....and I still got injured
Drinkin beer in the hot tube is a dangerous sport.
You gotta improve those bike handling skills!
a tip : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Hudson Vivaan definitely, have been using flixzone} for months myself :D

Woburn , Mass?

I never thought I'd need to put Arkansas on my list of places to visit, but this video just changed my mind. Amazing trails- great video!

If it looks this good on gopro imagine its real beauty when you ride it.

Do you know the name of this trail?
If you look on google maps the start is Fossil flats trailhead and it loops under yellow rock overlook@tylerroberts3663
Really great trail design. Very imaginative. Meditating on the possibilities.
Wow, this looks amazing. It's come a long way since when I was riding at Devil's Den in 1996.
Jaw dropping ride guys! Incredible trail. 19:00-20:00 = sick!!
Whatever you believe in, it honestly is Devine intervention I came across this specific video!!! I was really caught up with where my next mtb trip will be but not anymore, no question I’m going here!!
the ride interview was fascinating. More of this!
This trail just made the must ride list. Thanks Brian.
Rock Solid trails are fricken' great! Their trail builds in Minnesota are amazing!
One of your top 5 videos in my opinion Brian. Very Awesome!!
You've got me wanting to visit Arkansas now. This looks beautiful
Brian don't forget the food shot at the end of riding, I think people enjoy that.✌
Looks sooo gorgeous out there!!! Can’t wait to ride it
Thats truly an amazing trail! Love seeing projects like this funded.

So entertaining. You do such a great job hosting your videos. And this was a cool capture. Awesome dialogue. 👍🤙
Love to hear that!!
And it gets added to the mountain bike trail bucket list!
Will be camping and riding ad Devil's Den at the end of May. So looking forward to riding this trail.
My MIL lives right off Tunnel Vision on the Sugar Creek system in AR and I'm totally spoiled by the convenience when I go down there. Gonna need to do a day trip to Devils Den in the near future!
devils den is incredible!! not just for biking, its incredible out there.
35 min drive after class seems like the fall semester will be spent here and Centennial
I rode Devil's Den trails back in 1997....definitely need to get there again, but I will wait til fall or early winter...no ticks
What do you mean no TICKS?!?🤣😜
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS They move a little slower when it's cold....I hate anything that wants to feed on me.
@@johnnydoe66 Haha I think it was Jeremiah's bad attempt at being funny. You know, Jeremiah "The Tick" Cullum😂.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Duh, I should have caught that....🤣
And no snakes
Wow this place looks absolutely awesome!
This is amazing riding. Thanks to this video this area is definitely on my short list when I make it to Arkansas.
Thanks for the sneak peek! Can't wait to get out there myself after it opens!
The rock section was one of the coolest trail sections ive ever seen.
Heading there for bike fest '23. Wonder if we should check this out as opposed to the 3 hour drive to Mt. Nebo
Headed there the end of the month... can't wait.
Wow, NWA just keeps getting better and better. Amazing!!
@Rock Solid has signs up at Cuyuna (maybe?) and Elm Creek? Love their work!
cool thanks for riding here i'm hoping to film it soon too .
I may have to visit Arkansas one day just to ride this. Beautiful.
This was a great vid of these beautiful trails, and fantastic dialogue
love to hear you enjoying the Ride, I use a lot of energy Hootin and A hollerin , Whewww
Daaang! that is one awesome trail build!
Alright, alright. You sold me. Arkansas is the next vacation destination.
Yeah!! Stoked you had fun man!
So need to get there. Great rockwork. Nice riding Brian. Not so long since you didn't want to leave the ground!
What a trail! This is something I'll plan a trip to ride, hopefully for several days.
Wowsa! That's incredible! Amazing landscape & trail around the 9 minute mark.
Awesome! Live on the west coast in British Columbia myself but hope to rip the east some day. Crazy , so well built!
Bet that’s beautiful in summer! New to mtb but the videos of these trails are making me want to visit soon!
Falls really the best time to see the region
Thanks for posting this! This trail is a must ride
Wow! Simply amazing! That looks like the best trail!
ayeee ive been to phat tire! im from OK but have family in AR and was passing through. Got my pump there and have been biking since.
Wow amazing rock work on an already amazing trail.
thanks for sharing! love it. one of my best friends worked for Rock Solid for awhile.
Another magic trail, unbelievable!
Dang that is one beautiful looking trail
Damn Brian you carved that one like a Ninja!
Been a minute..... Love to tune in to watch you! 😎
How you kept from wrecking or flying off the trail, I do not know! Looked like a lot of fun at a scenic locale!
that was AWESOME ! thanks for the video ! i will have to try and get there one day ....
Back in the early 90s I lived between Winslow and Devils Den.
