I'm already sending an email to my city council. Thanks for making this awesome video. Because of you we might get some more amazing trails here in Vernon B.C that don't make you have to pay for a 60$ lift ticket at the downhill park.
Hey Seth!! I really think Asheville could be a great fit for this idea. Since our area is already a well rounded mountain bike area, I think this could be a great idea for Asheville. Also you live here and you could be the front runner to help encourage this idea, especially having amazing evidence. You are also able to go all over our country seeing the impact of the mtb community.
Cities/towns are starting to realize just how much tourism a trail system brings and.......................money talks!!! Hopefully, a sign of things to come in a city/town near you. Nicely done video, Seth 👍
Our city of 40 000 people (Vernon B.C. , Canada) just spent $70 000 on a new bike skills park right in the heart of the city. I was built on park land that was known for vagerents and drug use. It's now great to see the land being used for something good. Tot, Intermediate and advanced pump tracks were built. Also a climb trail with a flow jump line coming down. Phase 2 dirt jump plans already in the works. We are surrounded by world class mountain bike trails to ride. However some days it's just fun to grab the HT and head to the local pump track for the afternoon.
Steve Ferguson hey bro I live in penticton too but I’m new too the area and would love to rip some trails but I literally don’t know where any of the stuff is could you inform me a bit on where some spots are to ride around here
PLEASE come to Boise, ID. Thousands of trails within minutes of downtown all professionally built and maintained. It is a perfect example of city built MTB parks and great riding basically in town.
Wow! I mean what a master piece! I've been shooting stories for tv for 30 years and too often TH-cam hurts my eyes, ears or brain... But this is brilliant, quality, informative and fun to watch.
One of your best videos yet Seth, however, you didn't address the one thing cities are concerned about after money - liability. How is Bentonville able to overcome insurance risks with a gravity park. I'm sure it's a simple answer, but it would've been great to see you cover it! Again, great video!
In most cases it’s actually very hard to sue your city-much harder than a bike park. You’re right that I should have mentioned that. Even if private land is being used it’s protected by recreational use statutes here in the USA.
@@SethsBikeHacks Thanks for the response. We've been fighting to keep access open to a trail here in Tucson and have done ok. Problem is, the trail is on state trust land and will eventually be auctioned off. The big fight won't be access, but why that trail should exist at all. We're a ways off from the fight, but it's coming. Videos like this, I hope, will be very helpful with trying to get us a seat at the table with developers.
Assumption of risk is the answer. As long as you know where you're going, what to expect when you get there and rules, signs, etc. are clear, it's hard to sue (and win) if you broke your neck trying a backflip off a roller. I hate to label people in upper-level City positions, but they are typically older and do not share the same excitement for the sport. This video is fantastic and I am considering sending it to my local town.
@@SethsBikeHacks I just mentioned this in a comment above also. I do know that there have been a good number of injuries there. Curious how the stats compare to other public spaces like play grounds, skate parks, ice rinks...even soccer/baseball fields. Any studies on this side of things?
Oh my God!!This is what our metro area needs. I can’t even begin to imagine how this would benefit the youth of a community in an otherwise dull city🙏🏼
I can say as for me living here, I really take these trails for granted and I am very blessed and I’m thrilled Seth made a new video here! You explained it very well about what’s going on here in bentonville, nice video 👍🏻
Just got a job in Bentonville and moved here this week! The trails and atmosphere of this town is amazing! It is something that needs to spread everywhere!
Great video as always, Seth. The important takeaway is that even if you don't have Walton family type money, you can still build trail in your town if you're willing to put in the effort. Here in Kansas City where I live, volunteers have built over 230 miles of singletrack over the past 20 years in various city and county parks. We may not have the topography for gravity trails, but our volunteers have done some amazing things for a metro area of over two million. It all starts with a dedicated group of people willing to deal with local government and dig!
I lived in Bentonville last summer while I was an intern at Walmart Headquarters. Coler is one of the places that got me hooked on mountain biking! Amazing place!
Communities that have been all but forgotten due to industry jobs being farmed out overseas can benefit from embracing mountain bike culture is a huge way. As you mentioned, mountain bikers travel, buy food, gas, lodging, etc. I've seen a few towns that within one year of building even a humble trails system have a major economic boom, leading to more trails, leading to more money for the city. It's a beautiful thing! Awesome vide Seth, you totally smeeeeshed it!
Thanka for riding in Arkansas! You are one of my favorite riders to watch and it was so cool to meet you! (I was the giant group you met at coler by fire line. We had the jerseys that said Haas Hall.) Keep up the good work!
I had a DB BMX bike in the 80's. Raced all over Wisconsin and also Springfield, IL. I was ALWAYS the first off the gate, but never did very good at the finish. The boys were just too physical for me... ;)
Live an hour from bentonville. Great trail riding and lots of bmx parks/tracks to keep you busy. So great to see the community building these things so close to home
im from the uk and want to get back into mountain biking after 7 years, your videos have inspired me and made me excited to get back out there. thankyou seth
Hi Seth I have been trying to convince our local small town ski mountain to build bike trails for the summer They can’t because our city government kinda sucks However I think this video plus the fact we just elected a new government official may be what I need to finally convince granby to except bike culture and finally make a place for people to ride so they can stop illegally riding on animal reserves Love your videos and I hope this video helps Thanks
I am lucky to be an hour away from these trails. I encourage everyone to go out and ride them. Coler, Slaughterpen, The Back Forty, and morr are all close together. This is a MTB wonderland. Happy to see it getting some love from someone like Seth.
Great to have you in our part of the world.. I live in between Hot Springs and Bentonville, so many of the small towns in between have recieved large grants and small public funds to build tail systems. This includes towns with just a few thousand residents. Beyond excited to see other areas around the country adopt some of these practices!! No other community would I rather support than the bike community! "Invest in what makes you happy and healthy"
Seth’s Bike Hacks I never thought of going to a “big” bike park but then I did and I improved a lot more than I did riding smaller easier trails. I also want to say that I love your videos and you are so entertaining and useful 👍.
I'm out building almost everyday with my buddy, we are working on creating the same thing. Someday's it feels impossible, but it's inspiring to see it happen in other places! Thanks Seth, it's the little things that keep us going
Born and raised in Bentonville. Gary and his wife used to go to my church and never knew how much of a role he had in the trail system. Literally the BEST place to live if you’re into MTB. Slaughter Pen, The Railyard, EXTENSIVE system of MILES AND MILES of paved trails with cutouts to go down some dirt, College town 30 minutes away, it’s just amazing.
Our city, Florence SC. Is nearing the end of a 3 year process to turn about 100 acres of unused city land into a run ride park. As bikers we were able to help the city with some of their goals to increase the green space in the city and promote healthy life styles. We were able to jump into some other programs aimed at reducing obesity and diabetes and helped the city write a RTP grant with the help of IMBA reps. The project is out to bid now on building the trails and hopefully we will be riding 3-5 miles of pro built trails late spring with the possibility to add more. Its not an over night process but as the project has gone on we have gained more and more support. A local brewery has a beer on tap that part of each sale is going to a fund for the park.
Thanks for posting this! Myself and a few other individuals in my small town have been trying to get our trail systems sanctioned and supported now for years, This video springs in a few new ideas for us to use! Thanks for the inspiration.
@@ilovemotocicleta people shit on Walmart and big box bikes a lot but the truth is a lot of MTB enthusiasts started off with those cheap bikes. It's an excellent way to introduce people to the sport and I hope they don't stop selling cheap bikes.
Seth this was a grate video and iam a huge fan but unfortunatly i dont live in america so it doesnt work like that here in irleand but youre burm creek build inspierd me to build a track by myself thank you seth
Showing things around your area by producing this kind of video will help spread awareness, there are no big or small video production as long as you enjoy sharing your experiences will eventually lead to better understanding to why we need access to an outdoor activities and why the government should be part of this wonderful experiences.
Guys you are very lucky that u leave in USA .At Greece we don't have absolutely nothing like this.I do xc and I have to climb 30 kilometers to reach trail.We don't even have bmx parks.Greece doesn't support bikers whatever kind of them are.Greece just doesn't care about us.I watch your videos every day and I every day I hope to be there .U helped me soo much to improve my skills and I have a dream to go to USA and be an all time mountain biker
I’d been to Bentonville a dozen times with time on my hands to ride but had no idea all this existed. Then I heard about it, got back, and rented a bike for the day. WOW! Anything you’d want is there. Ridiculously well marked and maintained. Nearly gave myself heat stroke this summer ‘cause I didn’t want it to end😂
Live in the small south Jersey town of Delran with no mountains or elevation changes, and little open space. Who cares though! Im still gonna make it happen! Strings will be pulled, but if I dont do it, then who will?!
awesome video Seth! i moved here almost 4 years ago from CO and was worried there would be no biking. I was pleasantly surprised. It is great to see you sharing the community of biking. The more people on the trails the better!
As a Novice MTBer from Northwest Arkansas, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!! You should check out Fitzgerald Mountain in Springdale, Ar (20 minutes from Bentonville), its a Walton Foundation trail that is quite unique with rock formations and features!
Bass Breaker ... just left your awesome town and Outerbike ... the awesome trails, I was ready for. What I didn’t expect was the awesome people in NWA. The whole town considered us there guests and were glad we were there. The most awesome bike trip I’ve ever been on. The trails were unbelievable but the people made me want to stay. I catch myself staring at the wall at work.... smiling... Can’t wait to come back. (My ‘home trail’ is Mt Zion in Brookhaven, MS. #21 in USA according to Singletracks, so we do know a little about building and maintaining good trail)
Johnny Smith I’ve met people from all over since my back yard has blowing springs loop within a few yards. They just built 8 mountainbiker condos with bike wash and repair stations, huge community fire pit and frontage right to blowing springs loop. It’s amazing, I love going down to blowing springs at night a sharing a beer with visitors. We just got another 40 miles approved just in Bella vista. I grew up racing, but had to travel to ride, practice and race. Now coler is 600 yards from my parents house and I’m 100ft from 9 miles of premium single track. We have free beer at some bike shops too. I love the events we get. Met a few dudes from Austin Texas at outerbike that I wish I could’ve stayed in touch with. I was coming off a long injury with no ride time and they smoked me on the bush push! It was just so rad tho!
No joke man was thinking the same thing this is one of my favorite channels It’s like he is putting out less and less content one video a week is good when it’s like 15 20 min video but these 5 min videos are getting old quick plus I can’t even remember his last true riding video was i see his channel losing subs if this keeps up
Great video and I have shared it with our Judge Executive. We just volunteer-built the Hammond Creek Trail here in Eddyville, KY. County land and it hasn't cost the County more than about $1000 dollars. Everyone, especially the Judge Executive, is on board, which definitely helps. But I think your video will help our trail because we want to expand and add so much more over the coming years. Great ideas here. Thank you...
I live in Dulin Ohio and we have the most per capita green space of any small city in the country,. We don't have anything like this. I shared this video with our director of parks and rec. Crossing my fingers. Thanks for creating this content Seth!
Cool video! I grew up in Bentonville and rode the Coler Trail when it was a deer path. Visited the folks recently and got to ride Slaughter Pen...it's freaking awesome! I can't believe my hometown in Arkansas has such cool trails.
This is pure beauty, I plan on moving somewhere with this kinda park nearby once I've got my degree. Only thing we've got is cross country trails. There's little jumps occasionally on the trails that are amazing but this just blows it out of the water completely.
The point of premieres is not to make you wait for the video, it's to kill time while the video processes. If I posted it now, you would see it in 360P and probably leave a comment about it.
@@SethsBikeHacks can't you just hide the video till it's been de-potatoed? another channel found it really hurts viewcounts in the first couple of days
When a video gets uploaded, it takes a few hours to process. Instead of keeping it a secret and posting it when it's done processing, I schedule a time and do a premiere. What's wrong with that? You're getting the video at the same time as you would.
Ive been here I think since 300,000 and I have loved watching your channel grow and spread to such varieties of people in one sport keep up the amazing work
Thank you Seth! I live in the Twin Cities of MN and I have some awesome spots to build trails around my home, but I never really knew how to get started. This video was such a big help thank you!
Two quick things 1. Thank you so much for making this video! I am currently in college studying parks and recreation management and development with a goal of making stuff like this happen wherever I end up as soon as I get out of school. I haven't looked at the resources you left in the description yet, but I'm stoked to get looking through that stuff to add to my education. Hopefully I'll get to use this info someday to help make some bitchin trails happen! 2. Coler is the best place to learn y'all! I went from doing a 3 footer to that 13 foot drop the hammer drop in a single day. Get out there, it's worth it!
Seth this was amazing. There's an existing trail right in my neighborhood that i was planning on fixing and maybe adding some small features for my eagle scout project and this gave me some great pointers and tips to share with the officials, thanks again and happy riding man!
Thanks Seth. I went to the Trail's Lab and our town of 6,000 was awarded one of the Accelerator Grants. Hoping for big things to come our way. We have 8700 acres of Corps of Engineer land just waiting to have trails built.
I live in Oklahoma and recently have got into mountain biking and love it!! So I think I’m taking a round trip Arkansas to check this park out! I also love this channel and have been watching videos every day until I watch them all.
I did Bentonville in August based on your previous video about it. It's an amazingly well done system with something for every one. You can do long trail rides or Short, very fun downhill sections that are like bike amusement park rides. I'm definitely going back next year.
This video got me so excited for the future! I live in a small town in the western part of Germany, and there is 1 good skate park within an hour drive, and the closest small bikepark is 1.5 hours away! If only my town had some dirt jumps, a pumptrack, or even a nice skatepark... Most of the youth I see while riding some street spots near the local school is either smoking, or drinking, but they are definitely interested in what I am doing on this weird looking bicycle. I think a little trail network, some jumps, or even a pumptrack could go a long way here! Thank you for this video Seth :D
Thank you Seth, after seen that video, I started to work on a project of a small public bikepark in my city (36 000 citizens). Tomorrow, i will try to make the most precise map of the place that i can make. In the next few days, I will ask to some friends how to utilise the space to create a few trail sections with burmp.... You inspired me for that project, and i'm sure I'm not alone in this case !
Thanks heaps Seth u have inspired thousands of people around the world including myself and a few friends of mine down here in Australia we live in a small but hilly town and there is much mountain biking potential in the area and I hope one day we can have a mtb park in the area thanks again for showing us fellow riders out there that some pretty amazing stuff can be accomplished if we we have the know how and the right people and how simple it can be
I've recently moved to Perth West Australia and there's a growing network of good trails here that could be so much more! I'm spreading this video around the local trail pages... Thanks for making this one! I'll definitely be taking a USA road trip (with a stop in Arkansas) after I move back to Canada.
If you want a bike park in your city, this video was designed for you to SHARE with someone with influence, who can help make it happen!
That would be nice
I'm already sending an email to my city council. Thanks for making this awesome video. Because of you we might get some more amazing trails here in Vernon B.C that don't make you have to pay for a 60$ lift ticket at the downhill park.
Thanks
Im going to build a trail section near Minneapolis cause we are lacking trails

Live in the small south Jersey town of Delran with no mountains or elevation changes, and little open space. Who cares though! Im still gonna make it happen! Strings will be pulled, but if I dont do it, then who will?!
Thanks Seth for having the chat it was really nice chatting with you,
Nooooooooo! I cant view it yet!
Im back 8 hours later to watch!
What an awesome video!!! Thanks for creating and passing the valuable information. 👍👍👍
Can we help make one in Asheville?
My hometown! Thanks for highlighting our awesome trail systems.
Saw it already bc I’m a patron
awesome video Seth! i moved here almost 4 years ago from CO and was worried there would be no biking. I was pleasantly surprised. It is great to see you sharing the community of biking. The more people on the trails the better!
I live in a small town Of 8,000 soon don't think this is possible
Your town could benefit the most!
Darrington wa
Medfield MA
Got about 2000 in my town
All you need is a few guys with some tools and permission to have at it!
As a Novice MTBer from Northwest Arkansas, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!! You should check out Fitzgerald Mountain in Springdale, Ar (20 minutes from Bentonville), its a Walton Foundation trail that is quite unique with rock formations and features!
No need for me to convince my town I live in Bentonville and it is the best
Bass Breaker ... just left your awesome town and Outerbike ... the awesome trails, I was ready for. What I didn’t expect was the awesome people in NWA. The whole town considered us there guests and were glad we were there. The most awesome bike trip I’ve ever been on. The trails were unbelievable but the people made me want to stay. I catch myself staring at the wall at work.... smiling...
Can’t wait to come back.
(My ‘home trail’ is Mt Zion in Brookhaven, MS. #21 in USA according to Singletracks, so we do know a little about building and maintaining good trail)
That’s great I hope you come again!
Johnny Smith I’ve met people from all over since my back yard has blowing springs loop within a few yards. They just built 8 mountainbiker condos with bike wash and repair stations, huge community fire pit and frontage right to blowing springs loop. It’s amazing, I love going down to blowing springs at night a sharing a beer with visitors. We just got another 40 miles approved just in Bella vista. I grew up racing, but had to travel to ride, practice and race. Now coler is 600 yards from my parents house and I’m 100ft from 9 miles of premium single track. We have free beer at some bike shops too. I love the events we get. Met a few dudes from Austin Texas at outerbike that I wish I could’ve stayed in touch with. I was coming off a long injury with no ride time and they smoked me on the bush push! It was just so rad tho!
Ranger54 gonna have to come check out the MTB condos ... that’s the dream life ...
Mtb and lacrosse is where it’s at in Bentonville I’m a local aswell
This is the only channel which I can't forward ⏩ coz it isn't boring nice work seth👍😇 from kenya with love 👍💪
Is Seth still alive or cuz he hasn't uploaded for a week+
Game Play I know it’s realy annoying
No joke man was thinking the same thing this is one of my favorite channels It’s like he is putting out less and less content one video a week is good when it’s like 15 20 min video but these 5 min videos are getting old quick plus I can’t even remember his last true riding video was i see his channel losing subs if this keeps up
Matt Gates he needs to have pre recorded videos because if he can’t ride then he will lose subs without pre recorded videos
Great video and I have shared it with our Judge Executive. We just volunteer-built the Hammond Creek Trail here in Eddyville, KY. County land and it hasn't cost the County more than about $1000 dollars. Everyone, especially the Judge Executive, is on board, which definitely helps. But I think your video will help our trail because we want to expand and add so much more over the coming years. Great ideas here. Thank you...
Please do a “How to MTB in Cold Weather” please my dad and i just got into and we want to know how to mountain bike in cold weather
Like if you agree
I live in Dulin Ohio and we have the most per capita green space of any small city in the country,. We don't have anything like this. I shared this video with our director of parks and rec. Crossing my fingers. Thanks for creating this content Seth!
Why do people do premieres? They make you excited and then lead to disappointment. Oh well. At 9:00, I will have a nice new video to watch
Its starts at 1 am for me
he does it for views
@@coleroyer2494 Premieres get less views as far as I can tell, and a lot more dislikes
@@SethsBikeHacks don't take this the wrong way but why do people do them
Fam I’m doing it at 1am and not conplaining so stfu and support seth
Cool video! I grew up in Bentonville and rode the Coler Trail when it was a deer path. Visited the folks recently and got to ride Slaughter Pen...it's freaking awesome! I can't believe my hometown in Arkansas has such cool trails.
weird flex but okay
*_-y e s-_*
Linguini! Yall heard of feetus deletus but now its time for baby rapey
@@itsMelonPVP 😂😂 no i have not sir
@Zach ???
@Zach What?
This is pure beauty, I plan on moving somewhere with this kinda park nearby once I've got my degree. Only thing we've got is cross country trails. There's little jumps occasionally on the trails that are amazing but this just blows it out of the water completely.
Please stop this premiere stuff
The point of premieres is not to make you wait for the video, it's to kill time while the video processes. If I posted it now, you would see it in 360P and probably leave a comment about it.
@@SethsBikeHacks no as a true fan i´d watch it in 360p :D
@@SethsBikeHacks can't you just hide the video till it's been de-potatoed? another channel found it really hurts viewcounts in the first couple of days
@@jamble7k That's what I normally do, but this time I'm trying out premieres to see what it's all about.
Na I like it
I live in bentonville, and can say these guys make these trails look easy
I hate these premier feature
👍agree 👎disagree
CHEESUS SLICE I definitely don’t like it
Agreeed
When a video gets uploaded, it takes a few hours to process. Instead of keeping it a secret and posting it when it's done processing, I schedule a time and do a premiere. What's wrong with that? You're getting the video at the same time as you would.
Disagree Seth has a point
Seth's Bike Hacks i suppose it boils down to the basis of our society, instant gratification the “ I want it now mentality.”
Seth look what your channel has become. This is a great collaboration!!
seth can you please unblock me so i can chat i am not spamming again i was just excited
You aren't blocked
Ive been here I think since 300,000 and I have loved watching your channel grow and spread to such varieties of people in one sport keep up the amazing work
Seth this is fantastic!!! Thanks! Going to the major developers and City and planning departments with your video !!!!
I’d never thought I’d say this but I’m going to vacation in Arkansas and it’s all thanks to you Seth.
Thank you Seth! I live in the Twin Cities of MN and I have some awesome spots to build trails around my home, but I never really knew how to get started. This video was such a big help thank you!
I am so grateful to have a dirt jump track within 3 minutes biking distance of my house!
Awesome to see bike parks being built . I live in Alberta Canada and there’s been a lot of bike parks popping up in the last couple of years .
Two quick things
1. Thank you so much for making this video! I am currently in college studying parks and recreation management and development with a goal of making stuff like this happen wherever I end up as soon as I get out of school. I haven't looked at the resources you left in the description yet, but I'm stoked to get looking through that stuff to add to my education. Hopefully I'll get to use this info someday to help make some bitchin trails happen!
2. Coler is the best place to learn y'all! I went from doing a 3 footer to that 13 foot drop the hammer drop in a single day. Get out there, it's worth it!
Seth this was amazing. There's an existing trail right in my neighborhood that i was planning on fixing and maybe adding some small features for my eagle scout project and this gave me some great pointers and tips to share with the officials, thanks again and happy riding man!
Thanks Seth. I went to the Trail's Lab and our town of 6,000 was awarded one of the Accelerator Grants. Hoping for big things to come our way. We have 8700 acres of Corps of Engineer land just waiting to have trails built.
I love living in Fayetteville, AR, northwest Arkansas is all in on biking.
Absolutely inspirational filmmaking. You’re an outstanding spokesperson for the sport of mountain biking.
I live in Oklahoma and recently have got into mountain biking and love it!! So I think I’m taking a round trip Arkansas to check this park out! I also love this channel and have been watching videos every day until I watch them all.
I did Bentonville in August based on your previous video about it. It's an amazingly well done system with something for every one. You can do long trail rides or Short, very fun downhill sections that are like bike amusement park rides. I'm definitely going back next year.
This video got me so excited for the future! I live in a small town in the western part of Germany, and there is 1 good skate park within an hour drive, and the closest small bikepark is 1.5 hours away! If only my town had some dirt jumps, a pumptrack, or even a nice skatepark... Most of the youth I see while riding some street spots near the local school is either smoking, or drinking, but they are definitely interested in what I am doing on this weird looking bicycle. I think a little trail network, some jumps, or even a pumptrack could go a long way here!
Thank you for this video Seth :D
That is so cool. I really hope that study holds its own because it is so impressive.
Thank you Seth, after seen that video, I started to work on a project of a small public bikepark in my city (36 000 citizens). Tomorrow, i will try to make the most precise map of the place that i can make. In the next few days, I will ask to some friends how to utilise the space to create a few trail sections with burmp....
You inspired me for that project, and i'm sure I'm not alone in this case !
Ever since I started watching this channel mountain biking has become a obsession
A high school mtb coach for a school near me is spearheading a bike park near us and this video will only help us out. Thanks man
I moved to NWA because of the trails and so much more. NWA is a fantastic place to live and raise a family. Love it!
Thanks heaps Seth u have inspired thousands of people around the world including myself and a few friends of mine down here in Australia we live in a small but hilly town and there is much mountain biking potential in the area and I hope one day we can have a mtb park in the area thanks again for showing us fellow riders out there that some pretty amazing stuff can be accomplished if we we have the know how and the right people and how simple it can be
I've recently moved to Perth West Australia and there's a growing network of good trails here that could be so much more! I'm spreading this video around the local trail pages... Thanks for making this one! I'll definitely be taking a USA road trip (with a stop in Arkansas) after I move back to Canada.
I’m from a small town, really inspired to build a bike park in this area. So great!
