Welcome to Berm Creek! Building a public MTB trail named after my old backyard

For several years "Berm Creek" trail has existed in Bentonville, AR, which was named as a nod to my old backyard trail system. During my monthlong trip to Bentonville, the Trailblazers rebuilt Berm Creek trail from the ground up, making it faster, more exciting, and more intuitive. The trail now features a skinny drop, a creek gap, and a giant picnic table built into a literal tabletop jump

    I bought a tandem bike in case I ever get a girlfriend (I didn't get one yet). It was made in Germany in 1994. We have a small bike trail here in Novi Sad, Serbia. My friends once suggested me to bring it to the trail as a joke, which I took a bit too seriously. Now I hold the title as the most insane guy in our friend group. The bike's basically indestructible so I didn't really worry about it breaking down, despite it sitting in a garage for almost 30 years before I bought it, but the fact that I myself am not indestructible scared me. Nearly broke my arm there. Anyway I want to turn it into a bikepacking TANK, and I'm about to buy the Alfine 8 speed and an electromotor at the same time, that thing weights around 50kgs, it's pure steel. Seth, if you ever read this comment, BUY A TANDEM BIKE, they're fun. Remember I'm the king of tandems đź‘‘

    From what they have done, by naming the trail after Berm Creek it proves that your hard work & dedication towards the mountain bike world are truly successful & appreciated...you totally deserved it Seth

    The most nostalgic Berm Peak video I’ve watched in a while

    As a local, I can confirm we have all been hanging out on this one. It's been an awesome experience to have this reworked. Everyone has said great things while I'm out there sessioning. It's been a Bentonville Traffic Jam more than once and I'm sure it will stay that way with how easy it is to session this thing. I appreciate you coming down to make this happen. Comeback and help make Creekside great again.

    I was in Bentonville last week and rode this at least a dozen times. Even as a very average rider who won't go anywhere near that creek gap, the features on this trail are just built soooooo well. Those transfers feel amazing. This went from a trail I would ride once because of the name to something I will set aside time for every trip now. Major kudos to everyone involved!

    We have a situation on the Gold Coast in Australia, where the local city thinks it's Ok to close down the biggest MTB park we have. Nerang. Your utube channel is an inspiration that every city councilor should watch. Thanks mate.

    Been riding this trail with my buddies once a week! We always incorporate it into our loops and we’re giddy every time because of how tight and fast it feels. Thanks Seth and thanks Ethan and Uriah!

    Haven't watched your videos in a while, great to finally see a trailbuilding video pop up even if it's not on your property.
  • @bentondrones
    Thank you for the opportunity to help with your story telling, Seth! I Look forward to working with you in the future!
  • @benfowler9265
    I can confirm that this trail is sick after riding it recently! Also the idea to make it short and easy to lap made for a great scene at the trailhead!
  • @manutara2007
    Thanks to Seth and all the people participating in these projects
  • @BenNawrath

  • @Peak_Mid

  • @wntrmutt1861

    As a trail builder all I saw when I watched this video was the machines. Our local group would give it's eyeteeth to have some of these tools at our disposal.
