Would be better to build an actual mountain bike course in the nearby woods.


We already have several of those, bruh. This loop just connects the campus directly to some of what is already existing, and takes advantage of the campus topography to create some fun loopty loops.

The main course at Centennial Park is European Style cross country, and it is definitely "world class" as evidenced by the trials and competitions held there already.

Here's a video:

Best part of Fayetteville is the Green Belt that goes up to Bentonville.

No Fat Bottom Girls in OP, that is down vote worthy, but I will let you off with a warning.

Eh, its' an amenity. Not sure if its the best thing..

But yeah, that's a whole other thing. There are nearly 60 miles of paved bike path like that throughout the city of Fayetteville. The central spine goes 36 miles up to Bentonville through all the major towns.

Razorback Greenway is a nice thing, though. Makes it feel like the city is one big park.

Yeah. Bentonville is hard to describe to people who haven't been there. Stand out on the grounds of Crystal Bridges with all of the billions worth of art and architecture on display, and watch MTBikers zipping by on groomed trails like you're in some cycling version of a ski-town.

It is kinda crazy. Fayetteville is ghetto by comparison.

The designation of "world class" applies to the design and construction, not the degree of difficulty.


I’m an active MTB’er. There is nothing about this trail that any reasonable person who knows wtf they are talking about would classify as “world class mountain biking trail.” I’m sorry if that hurts your feelings.

As for you, in addition to being illiterate I’m pretty sure that you don’t even know how to ride a bike

If you are big into mountain biking then I am assuming you’ve been to Bentonville since it’s one of the best in the world now

Say what you want but this track through campus is cool.

Feelings not hurt in the slightest.

We know what world class mountain biking looks like here.

We host the IMBA World Summit and international cyclocross.

I’m here now and this an okay campus. Wish y’all could keep the Walmart money without the awful signage.
