This month I brought my entire family and a bunch of bikes to Bentonville Arkansas. We will be posting videos here as usual, and running this YouTube channel remotely. Bentonville is in a league of its own when it comes to urban mountain bike infrastructure, experimental trail building, and investment in outdoor recreation. To someone like me who appreciates unique mountain bike features, public projects, and cool trails, it's worth more than a weekend visit—so we made that happen!

    “The road to prosperity is paved in sick jumps”. Awesome! 😂
  • Seth getting hired by Walmart to help MTB parks get built around the country would be a development. ...And one hell of a mix of words to create a sentence.

    As a non-American who never had any intention of ever traveling to Arkansas (unless business took me there) I can definitely say that Bentonvillie is on my bucket list now. What an amazing place! So cool to see a community to heavily invested in outdoor recreation.

    My family made a 2 day detour to Bentonville while on a cross country trip back in April. It was so far beyond anything I expected. Perma-grin ear to ear all day while riding and experiencing everything. It's like mtn biking Disneyland. Can't wait to go back! I'm interested to see this series because I'd love to try and implement some of this magic in my home town
  • @timwatkins6559
    I really hope this inspires people to become advocates for walk/bike infrastructure in their towns!
  • @sl3848
    It’s so wild because all of this is still such a small fraction of the value of Walmart and the wealth of its shareholders. It’s a window into how we could all live if things were more equitable and distributed
  • @thesilversender
    I moved here in 2022 and I love it. I lived in Southern California for 53 years. Videos like yours are what made me decide to move here.

    I live in a small town in south west Missouri. Im less than 2 hours from Bentonville and have never been there. I’m so jealous of the infrastructure in place for bikes. My town just keeps shrinking road shoulders to make lanes wider for cars and making it harder and more unsafe for bikes with each passing year. This is truly a eye opening video Seth, please keep ‘em coming!

    Bentonville is such an amazing example of what can be accomplished when city planners and investors are in tune with their local community. This used to be a small town - it's kind of exploding these days from what I've seen. I personally know two families that have moved there in the past year. A decade ago, most folks wouldn't have been able to point to Bentonville on a map. Pretty incredible.
  • @torsken1369
    Everything just looks so well built 🛠️
  • @joebikes
    Dude welcome to Northwest Arkansas! One of the best things we’ve got going - besides the trails of course - are all the incredible and friendly people here 🤙
  • @matt_m126
    It's nice to see a town embracing bike culture rather than seeing it as a threat to cars.
  • @cbuttle04
    Welcome (for a bit) to our backyard. We try not to take it for granted. Its an amazing place to live and has all kinds of awesome riding. Looking forward to seeing your videos from Bentonville. I know and love these trails!
  • @mishi4187
    It amazes me on how people can ride such slick and wet rocks and other shiny slabs really shows how Seth is skilled at riding. Massive respect
  • @Mark-oe4hv
    Welcome to Bentonville. I’ve lived here all my life, and the changes just keep coming! Just started riding the trails, and having a blast! Enjoy your stay.
  • @loganprice3645
    As someone who has lived in Bentonville almost all of their life it is crazy to see how much it has changed even in the last year.
  • @drewmilliken5
    NO WAYY!! Long time watcher, and this is where I’ve grown up and still currently live! Hopefully I get the awesome opportunity to run into you soon!!
  • @JCintheBCC
    As someone who is active in town planning (but with no formal planning background) in a small mountain town, I'm excited to see what videos come from your experience there. We only have a few hundred residents, but literally millions of visitors each year from neighboring cities and towns. We could do wonderful things with a bit of foresight.
  • @WanderingGoff
    I would love this channel regardless of where I was from, but as someone who went to Brevard College and then moved to Bentonville for most of my adult life, I also enjoy it for the warm fuzzy nostalgia. I wish there was a way to get city leaders from around the country to visit Bentonville. Every other place I’ve lived has shown apprehension or even outright animosity towards trails and bike stuff. NW Arkansas is a great example of how trails can be a huge asset for the whole community.
