 So cool to see my home town make it on PB in such grand fashion ... Almost surreal knowing that I was part of building so much of what was in that video

 NWA looking awesome! I'll be there first weekend in June to ride and kayak. Can anyone point me to a resource for learning more about the trails in that video? I'm not a dirt jumper but will have my '16 Stumpy FSR and want to check out all those spots.

 EDIT: found oztrailsnwa.com , great site! Were there any places in the video not listed on oztrails?

 @hcole623: oztrailsnwa.com - Bentonville is a main hub with trails like Slaughter Pen, Blowing Springs, Lake Atalanta, Rail Yard all within 10-15 min. Further out are some awesome trails as well - Kayaking the Mulberry (from Turner Bend) and Buffalo (from Boxley Bridge) is also some top spots.

 Wal-Mart can build some really nice trails!
  • 5 2
 In order to get the full experience in Bentonville, it's recommended you ride the trail on a Wal-Mart bike. Then be sure to return it to the store after your trip is over.

 Brilliant video concept and execution. I will put OZ on my "list".

 Agreed - THAT is how you do a video to attract new tourism! That looks destination trip worthy (to me).

 I lived in northern AR for 2 years - Bull Shoals area. The potential for that state is unlimited. It's population is very low, especially in the north. The people that I met all throughout that area are unique and incredibly friendly. I haven't been back in 15 years but now that there is more than just Syllamo in that area, I suppose I have a reason to now.

 Another 100+ miles are being built by 4 professional trail building companies. It's unbelievable here, the trails can pretty much all be accessed by a central paved trail that goes down to fayetteville.

 Took me a moment to realize that was Tyler McCaul!

 It always helps to have a rider like Tyler McCaul shredding the trails, and what you saw was a focus on the flowing parts of the trails with high berms etc...speed sections. But there are PLENTY of rocky sections here that will test even the most skilled technical rider. Watch for some upcoming films that will highlight "mere mortal" riders hitting some of the rocky technical sections!

 We've got rocks, and here's proof. This is more of an indication of the typical trails in Arkansas, and the beauty of the Ozarks. No shredders highlighted here, but it gives you an idea of what to expect! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilX9H2Vj-9c

 I ride slaughter pen a few times most weeks, 40 mins from the house, but only 15 from work, so I just pack everything in the car and hit it after work. For my money, best place to ride around this area. No annoying hikers usually, and definitely no horses!! Different trails for skill levels, free ride and downhill sections, plus it connects to paved greenway. Wish I lived in bentonville lol

 This is only part of it. We have at least four trails/trail systems on the IMBA "epics" list. And I'm surprised T-mac didn't go to Lake Leatherwood.

 Exactly what I thought. Leatherwood may not be as well kempt as the rest of the area. We haven't been out there in a while.

 That S berm section he was doubling though!! I have some friends that moved there about 5 years ago, and I remember thinking they were crazy for wanting to move to AR. Now I'm thinking I'm the crazy one for not going to visit them...

 Wish they would have included a couple of the more natural cut trails such as My Sequoia and Kessler but nice to see some publicity for all the work put into the trail systems in NWA!!

 That was just the tip of the ice-burg. Don't forget Lincoln lake, Mt. Kessler, and Thunder Chicken

 Now if someone would start building trail around the central Ar/Ok border where there's some quality elevation, i.e. Cavanal Hill in Poteau, Ok

 So awesome to see the trails I ride on being ripped by a pro! So epic! He makes jumping thoughs berms looks so easy but it's a lot more bigger in life compared to the video!

 Love the trails in Arkansas! Lucky the wife likes camping down there, because Saint Louis doesn't have anything close to this good.

 Why every town isn't investing like this, I'm not sure.. Trails are communities, it's proven. Also, Tyler Mccaul?

 Dang, that is an amazing trail system. I wish San Diego could get on point like this. More trails, less houses.
