What a crazy day! Rolling up and seeing the entire crew hanging in Lawrence Plaza was a trip. After seeing them all on screen so many times, it was hard to believe they were right there in front of us AND that we were about to go rip the @OzTrailsNWA with them!
Enjoy our day showing Blake, Neil, Richard, and Martyn around Bentonville. @gmbn
It's GMBN that was privileged to ride with Rich and the boys 😉
Heck yeah, Gary!
This is the most exciting and fast riding footage from Bentonville that I've seen. 👍
It was such a blast!!
Ran into y'all at Apple Dumpling and gotta say I have mad respect for how Rich always says hi and flashes a smile at other riders. Also had a short convo with Neil and Blake said hi too and that all just made my day
thanks Matt! Both those dudes are super cool! It's crazy how they thought very few people would show up for their group ride.
I loooveee GMBN!!!
I do as well!
Rich is a great ambassador for the sport and for the Bentonville area. Hopefully will make it there someday.
Thank you Richard, I appreciate that. You must make a visit, you'll love it
Dang Rich you were gettin steezy just like the GMBN guys. You better never be questioned again in your technique videos because your riding speaks for itself! I've seen people try to argue with your techniques in the comments of your videos when you're trying to help people for free. Your riding in this video just ended any silly debate someone may have thought they had!
Thanks Isaiah!! I really appreciate that my man! It was a total blast riding with the GMBN crew!
Anything with Blake in it gets a like 🤘😄🤘
I'm right there with ya! Super cool dude!
So cool! Way to be ambassador #1 for Bentonville. This was brilliant.
Thanks Mitch! Just playing my role in this rad town!
Sick camera footage! Great riding. Great video.
Thanks Michael! It was pretty rad to see the GoPro footage of Masterpiece.
So rad to see those guys shredding our local trails.
I agree Paul! They had a blast!
Great to meet you guys at the Railyard! Hope you had a good trip!
Thanks! You too!
wow! that was fun too watch
I agree!!
I was there while the guys from GMBN were there. Got to meet them too, super great group. Sweet watching them ride trails I was on
Such a nice group of dudes!
@@richdrewtherideseries absolutely, I was always told to never meet my heroes but I feel like they were exactly who I expected them to be. Just good people.
Awesome riding Rich and GMBN crew. That’s so cool!
Thank you! It was a blast!
Rich to see you riding with the GMBN crew was awesome. GMBN and Rich Drew are my two favorite MTB channels on CZcams! I am looking forward to riding with you again in the future. Keep shredding and peace out!
So rad to hear this! They are an incredible group and they run a very professional program. Hoping to grow ours into a fraction of what they have.
Bunch of awesome riders. Such a cool group, the GMBN crew and Rich.
It was awesome to ride with them! They absolutely rip and very humble.
@@richdrewtherideseries They are so genuine and definitely rip. But your riding is off the chart.
Really good Rich. The riding was good as always, but the interview at the end was the best part. When the folks from GMBN are singing the praises of the OZ trails, you've really put it in perspective.
Awesome opportunity Rich! GMBN guys seemed like they were great to ride with!
The Fezzari Nashville crew is coming back for sure this year. Not sure when exactly but hopefully we get to see ya again when we do! Stoked to ride the new stuff!
They were super cool man! Can't wait to get you guys back out, so much new stuff to ride!
simply awesome!!!
That's how I felt! So much fun!
Wow so stoked just watching GMBN mix it up back here in the US! Love this, keep up the awesome work and camaraderie!
Me too! Cool dudes and great riders!
so cool to see the gmbn crew riding with you!
I agree, I was thinking the same thing the entire time! Such a rad day.
Thanks Rich for your ride series. Watched so many of your videos I feel I know the lines to trails I didn’t get to. I was there during Bike Fest. Rode with Hans Rey and Jeff Lenosky. Saw you with the Fezzari Nashville crew. You are the unofficial face of Bentonville area trail system. That’s a big deal. Yet you seemed humbled to be with the GMBN crew. Keep it up, great job.
I'm really happy for you, Rich. It's great to see what you've been able to do in the last couple of years.
I appreciate that Thomas! Been a fun ride so far.
Love them Brits...super nice!
They really were Greg. They had to balance a huge work load with a bunch of fans and they did it very eloquently in my opinion.
Totally saw you guys over by the hub that night.
Should've rolled over and pulled up a chair, they would've loved it.
so glad the locals got to ride with GMBN and glad you where there to show them what's good #MountainBikeCapitaloftheWorld
it was a rad experience for a lot of us! Such a nice, welcoming crew and they had a blast!
Oh man I totally missed it! Thank you for the video recap! It was a blast watching you ride with them Rich! I hope the guys from GMBN do come back and when they do, I hope they, or someone, gives the rest of us a heads up as I'd love to tag along 🙂
Love the GMBN (and EMBN) crew! Bentonville is awesome and so is NW AR
I agree with ALL of this!!
Oh wow!! Wish I had known Blake was going to be there. What a treat for the locals
It was indeed! The locals were stoked!
thanks
great vid
You are very welcome Jason!
So cool!
It was so rad Mike! They were beyond cool and we just had a blast.
Worlds collide, Jerry! Worlds collide! In a very good way. What a hoot.
It was 2am and i was trying to go to sleep but watched the video… i found myself with a huge smile on my face… you definitely brought the excitement and energy to the video perfectly! They were lucky to have such a great tour guide!!🤘
Thanks John! It was truly an incredible day riding with an awesome group. They were so cool to everyone we came across.
Heading there this year for a week with fam, cant wait.
That's what I'm talking about! You guys are gonna have a blast! Let us know if you'd like any guiding, shuttling, or on trail coaching. Send a message to Sarah: info@therideseriesmtb.com
@@richdrewtherideseries Thanks.
What a great vid! So awesome that they got some good riding in while they were here, even though they brought some of that English weather with them 😂 looking forward to their next visit!
Thanks Joe!
This video showed me how good and stylish Rich’s riding really is 😂
Hey now! That wasn't the goal but I'll sure as heck take it. Had some pressure on me riding with them boys ;)
And how the GMBN compare to Rich!
So awesome to see GMBN stateside with another mtb legend in his own right.
Great footage, RD, and I am sure it was a blast hanging out with the crew from across the pond.
I knew they were over there riding..... I was hoping you would meet up......fantastic....I love the stuff you do.
thanks Colin, it was such a fun time!
How awesome you got to take the guys on a tour of Oz trails!
Sweet!
Super nice!!!!
Thanks Michal!
so thats why gmbn was in bentonville for the dirt shed show
EXACTLY why ;)
Rad trails you got there
This was only scratching the surface!
That was awesome. I'm ready.
Come on Ben!!
I bet there was a lot of jaws on the floor watching you guys cutting it up. Brilliant.
What! Can you imagine that crew on your tail. My two favorite channels. Well done super fun watching this. Cheers
Awesome video and great riding! I agree, to be the mountain bike capital, there has to be a sense that mtb is integral to what's going on in the community, and not just that there are a lot of trails. Bentonville seems to exemplify that.
But there are definitely other places in the world where this is a thing - Squamish, BC being the most obvious, and a place that doesn't have a corporate sponsor like Walmart, but has managed to gain the support of the local government and tourism industry.
All that said, we all benefit if there are places vying for mtb capital of the world, regardless of whether they officially make the claim or not.
That would have been my dream ride day. We've been many times, and I admire the GMBN guys to no end. Even considered making the six hour drive last minute to participate but it just wasn't in the cards.
Soon will be there, super excited.
Guys next month you can go to the GCN World Bike Fest and meet these guys!
that's awesome!
Had a great time a couple of months back when I visited from the UK. Luckily I will be returning and this time I'm bringing my own bike. I have a bone to pick with the drop in boneyard, I didn't want to attempt it on a rental.
Sick!!!
This is it. This is the pinnacle (ha! Threw that in for the locals) we were hoping for back in 2012, ‘13, ‘14, ‘15, when we all got behind Gary to make this area happen. It’s bittersweet, bc while I’m thrilled others have found a love of riding a bike in the woods, we were so successful, it is now often impossible for me to ride my bike in the woods anymore.
Waooww🤩🤩 this is the champions league 💥💯🚴♂️
We were there that weekend. Our 6th trip there from DFW in a year. Saw you and the whole crew a lot. Stayed condos at top of AA
Heck yeah Jeff! Sounds like you need to buy one of those condos my man!
Dang! That's a cool group of shredders 🤟
Man, I was just trying to keep my cool ;)
That was a great video! You should make videos with super famous MTB riders more often!🤪. Great job doing what you do.
If I'm not mistaken, I think these dudes are about as "super famous" as it gets ;) It was a blast, I'd love to make a career out of this.
Dopeeee
I can't imagine the property values in Bentonville. I was there like three weeks ago and two out of every three homes were either freshly remodeled or in the process of being remodeled.
Martyn didn't have his Bowhead there? Man, he musta been bummed to not get to ride!
It showed up a bit late, but he got to ride.
So sick
I would have loved to meet Martin. Gonna be out there next thursday friday from oklahoma city can't wait.
Have fun!! We will be out at G6 all weekend at the Rocky Mountain Demo
Damn - I was hoping to see Martyn on the Bowhead. When you all pedaled away and he was just sitting there it was so sad...
It was a bummer, his bike got delayed. Such a cool dude
@@richdrewtherideseries That makes sense. A damned shame, Martyn is so cool, and an amazing ambassador for the sport!
Wholesome AF!
Great vid. I have on day to ride Bentonville next month and I'm a blue trail level rider ( I can't do jumps), which trail system should I spend the day on, Slaughter Pen or Coler Preserve?
Just change the marketing from "The" to "A" mountain biking capital of the world. This would still get the attention you desire, without the ego this place comes off with. If you go to a place that claims to be so high, that only leaves it 2 options. Either on par with the claim or less impressed.
Are you guys coming to Colorado?!
BOOM!

What, no Doddy?
When the entire internet goes for a ride...
Gmbn needs to come to pisgah
Hi rich
Hey there!!
I would say it’s comparing the Matterhorn to the real thing. I think it’s definitely trying. But for me mountain bike trails are out in the mountains..tbh.
Agree. It's a fun place for a day or two, and they've done great stuff there, but calling it the mtb capital of the world.....meh. Moab, Sedona, Park City, Durango, and some others have much better NATURAL riding. And you don't feel like you're in Disney World.
Y’all take em to the bone yard?
You have a magnificent bike/walking park. Sure is nice to not see any masks.
HEALTH FREEDOM!!!💪🤜🤛
I find that they just aren’t that friendly to to lesser public.🤷🏼♂️
This is baffling to me Micheal. I think you are the only person I've heard say this. I was impressed with how they tried to take time for everyone.
@@richdrewtherideseries Not at Sea Otter, to busy with the tradesmen.
@@richdrewtherideseries I realize every situation is different, they came to Bentonville to ride and promote not to hob nob with the corporate machine. When someone sends you an invite to ride weeks in advance, the least you can do is send them back a polite decline. Have we lost all common courtesy ?
