I grew up in Bentonville and still live only 20 minutes away. It’s crazy to see it becoming a mountain biking Mecca. I used to have to drive 2 hours away to go ride trails that were basically just logging roads and hiking trails that allowed bikes. 😂

Do you ever ride the trails at Devils Den back in the days before Bentonville?

Local here! Great to see everyone making the trip up here. It’s a great town with even better trails. If you guys ever come back I’d definitely recommend talking to some of the locals, most of us are more than happy to help navigate the trails and show everyone the best spots!

Enjoyed the vid, thanx. Thanx for adding the tip on e bikes. I actually bought mine at Phat Tire in Bentonville. So sick of the negativity towards them, I can’t even ride my favorite trail, run by the Forest Service, due the rule of no motorized vehicles. Hard to believe someone can’t differentiate between a motorcycle and e-bike, or refuse to. Maybe I should just move to Ark, I was blown away by this place.

Ya Bentonville is epic! Sorry you are having so much trouble finding places to shred on your ebike.... I think people are slowly coming around to them though.

Woww I loved this video!! It was so great to see the footage from your POV- so much shredding. I'll use the tips when we go back! Make more videos, Ryan!!

Ryan Drops and Shreds Shepard isn’t open yet. I think the target is next spring. From what I have seen, it is going to be a lot of fun. Ironton is probably 3 hour or so drive for me, so I will get down shortly after it opens.

I love ebikes! There awesome!

Say no to e-bikes...... Pedal like its the apocalypse... Some of these trails will wear you out though.... nice vid man....

That was so good I looked up how far for me. 10.5 hrs. Ouch 🤕 probly not going to happen.
