    Rock Solid Trail Contracting is hard at work again on another set of Monument Trails, this time at Devil's Den State Park. This place was the original mountain bike destination in Arkansas and it's getting an amazing overhaul.

    I really dig how you've been handing mics to the people you've been riding with. Not only do we get the POV camera and get to hear your commentary, it's awesome to hear the other rider's commentary even when they are far away from you. Excellent idea

I'm new to Mountain biking and I cant believe I have waited so long to get into the sport considering the massive amount of incredible trails that are so close by! I am very grateful for the work you have done in Arkansas! I sincerely thank you.

The organized effort that AR is putting into making their state an Mtb destination is quite remarkable. This trail is super impressive. Incredible incorporation of natural features. Hats off to the builders and some forward thinkers making it possible in AR.

    I live 2 hours from Devils Den, I was there the opening day and went back a week later. The new additions are awesome, and even for an old slow guy the stoke factor was high. I have a few videos on my channel that covers more of the trails. We are blessed here in the Natural State to have so many new trails being built

  • @justinuriahphoto
    @justinuriahphoto Před rokem

    This is, in my humble opinion, the best mountain biking channel on CZcams. While I can appreciate other channels who have some crazy visuals, this channel adds the dialog which adds another level to the ride. For instance, listening to this guy who was awarded a million dollar contract for trail building is eye opening. I cannot imagine the logistics behind all of that but he goes into some of the leg work like staying up until midnight doing paperwork and payroll. These are excellent points to learn about because while we have the privilege of riding these trails, we never know what went on to achieve the end result. Thank you for sharing these videos. I subbed.
