Hard to tell someone how they should feel when they meet someone they've looked up to, respected and enjoyed their content from a far for a long time. My biggest fear would be having a bad interaction and ruining all those years of content you've enjoyed. Obv that's highly unlikely to happen cause they're all great people in MTB but that's a big time fear especially if you're an introverted person. Extroverted people probably have no idea about those things. lol

Gmbn missed out!

Evan. The bike tech videos that is where you shine. 🥇 Thunder Dome - Stay in the left line and pain attention to cut-outs to the left. 1:03 1:41 On Case & Desist 11:40 cut out left for sectioning - Ride more.🚲

Blake from GMBN did Choo Choo by jumping the berms. Any trail can be fun with some little imagination, my dude.

I’m glad that i discovered you. You’re doing very good stuff. Keep it up man

Nice to meet you today Evan! Keep making great videos!

My dji action 3 arrives tomorrow stoked to try it out! Nice video keep it up!

2:28 glad you mentioned Esther’s to get over to the north end of Coler. Besides taking you to Family Flow, but there’s a fun tech section towards the other end.

Dude. Your ride audio and video are so smooth now. Well done. Also, totally get the nervousness will others in the industry. Ask what their favorite trails are here, and recommend your faves. Gets the Convo going

If you ever get a chance go ride the lake ludwig trails in Clarksville Arkansas. We put a lot of work into building those trails and they turned out quite awesome! Only an hour and half away from Bentonville.

Good video Evan keep up the good work and you’ll get past 100,000 subs

Evan it got to be said your videos are better than the stuff coming out of GMBN .Keep going, you are an inspiration to us all.

Sometimes I wanna move there to Bentonville to just ride! Ha! I miss that place! Great video. So informative!!

@@EvansMTBSaga damn that is low for that area, but hey if it works for you thats good. I use to run that low with the idea of maximum grip but then I tried higher and I realized unless im on crazy loose stones on rocks that 24+ was better for riding as it had pretty much the same grip but rolled way better and I havent gotten rim dings since upping the pressure

There is no better way to get down the hill from Coler Grove than down Thunderdome. I have spoken.

You are doing an excellent job of blurring the thin line between “go getter” and guy that is trying way too hard. I like your motivated attitude and have no problem with it. Your success is a direct result of your ambition and hard work to be a KZreadr. But the way you approached the first GMBN guys came across a bit cringey.
