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

    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 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 👑

    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!

    This video collab is yet a prime example of how well things can go when municipalities get involved with the local MTB community and its core trailbuilders for all future riders to enjoy for years to come.

      i will say to see him take a few hits into the airbag would be sweet... maybe his trickery has progressed.
      also more invites or collabs to his home may help in the views of the building side of the trails... i remember those all in videos to rebuild berm creek...
