Pronounced Sh-rain Train. The new short jump line at the castle is called Wildfire. The cameras are placed at jumps by a company called Hightag. You buy an annual pass for $50 and get access to all your pictures. Pretty cool. Good video. Coler is awesome but The Castle is hard to beat.

I highly recommend the Bike Inn. Jeremy is so nice. Last fall I got deathly sick right before Big Sugar, and left early. He refunded the days I didn't use. He said, he rather have a return customer than charge me the rest of days. Wow. Really great atmosphere.

Very awesome video guys. I wish I had a similar experience because when I brought my son last summer, we encountered so unwelcoming locals there. Obviously, this is only our experience and not the majority. It wasn’t even crowded when we went. Oh well. Keep up the great videos.

Awesome video y'all! Just in time to keep me occupied while i try to kick the flu... next time you're in the south you have to check out jarrod's place in north western Georgia which is a wicked park to ride year round. Also if you're in Florida you've got to come check out the crown jewel of alafia river state park. The trail crew has added a ton of stuff in the last 6 months and it's only ramping up more and more. Plus balm boyette and carter road are just a stones throw away!

Bentonville is cool but I've found Knoxville to be the best mountain bike town I've visited so far. Plenty of great trails you can ride from downtown and many more restaurants, breweries, hotels, ect.

Please, for the love of god, stop moving to Bentonville. Im a working class local and I can no longer afford anything. We are being gentrified HARD. I wish everyone only the best but the situation is pretty terrible for anyone without California wages.

It’s happening everywhere dude. My medium size midwestern home city is being swamped by upper middle class yuppies and making rent prices go nuclear. Where the fck all these people come from…California probably? They’re a god damn plague

It’s a catch 22. Glad you posted the opposing side of things. I hope the living wage keeps up with cost of things. When your town has been blessed/gentrified upscale, it’s better than the other direction I suppose. I’m guessing if you own property there, its value has increased? Good luck

@mikegehard6402 5 ай бұрын

@@moandhannahtravel I wish they would have just marketed it as the "Disney World of Mountain Biking" instead. Much more descriptive in my opinion based on my visit. Yes the trails are fun and well built but "the capital" it is not. Pisgah, Vermont, Bellingham, pick a place in British Columbia or Colorado, Moab....the list goes on of places just in North America that are higher on my list than Bentonville for the title of "mountain biking capital of the world".

@moeschlabach5559 5 ай бұрын

The “misnaming” of themselves seems to have worked out fine for them. Sorry it doesn’t quite work for you. It’s marketing, not descriptive titling

@trevorparks2135 4 ай бұрын

They didn’t claim “the most intense mtb trails in the world”. The whole town is centered around mtb just about.

I’ve been to Bentonville and it is definitely the mtb capitol of the USA
