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

Cali is soooooo far behind not adopting and embracing MTB like Bentonville, I'm blown away at this awesome place.
We just need some benevolent mtb-loving billionaires.
Good times indeed my dude! See ya there next year 🤘
Heck yeah, man! 🤘🏾
Nice! Haven't been back to Bentonville in forever. Would be sweet to go back. Looks like ya'll had a fun time. 😁👍
Heck yeah! Looking forward to next year. Would be rad to connect of you go to the 2024 festival. 🤘🏾

Yo! Glad we connected up. Thanks for showing us around.
You got a pretty rad backyard! 🤘🏾
Bentonville looks amazing, what an experience.
Taking it easy after partying. Wise words ha ha.
Ha! Totally!
Yeah...it was kind of surreal.
Looks like a great time! Thanks for the video makes me want to go!
It was a blast! Definitely worth the trip.
Alan can ride! Made those trails look easy. Some of those jumps are much bigger than they appear on GoPro. 👏🏻
😅🙏🏾
Got to go in October. It really is all that. Can’t wait to return
Same!
There must now be a Cafe in the middle of every major trail system!
Agreed. 💯
Great stuff!!
😃🤘🏾

It was non-stop fun and good vibes.
Cool Collab looks like a hell of time!
It was a blast!
Amazing trip Alan! Helps to have the Waltons money behind this development. EPIC!
The trip was epic! More to come. The city is an example of what investing in community resources and infrastructure can do. 😃
3:47 I REALLY want to ride those steps...
🤘🏾
My home state,This will be the #1 place one day I do believe….
It’s definitely a fun and unique place. Hard to compete with Whistler though.
Sickkk ... When are you coming back up to SLO?
Yew!
Not sure.
After all the GoPro talk last week... looks like it was a Great Trip!
It was an epic trip!
I came for the mountain biking. I stayed for the mutton chops.
😆🙏🏾

Thanks! Most definitely. Ebikes are welcome.
Sick
🤘🏾
What sort of bike do you recommend for this place?
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.

Hope that helps.
Guess where I plan to retire in 3 1/2 years.
🤔😆
Yeah man. Poor choice of background music. I’m out
