Definitely a great experience! My wife and I did a lesson in the morning with a guided tour in the afternoon. The lesson was very informative and tailored for our different experience levels with drills and constructive critiques. We both came away better than when we started.
The afternoon tour was also a must, Alex showed us the best trails without doing anything that would put us in over our heads. He also stopped to help us practice a few features/skills that we said we wanted to improve. At the end of the day he recommended trails for us to explore during the remainder of our stay. As first

My wife and I (advanced beginner MTB riders) did a half day of coaching instruction with Alex. He was an excellent teacher who allowed us to chooses our skills for coaching (cornering, technical climbing skills) and honed our time and drills to fit those needs. The communication before, during and since has been superb. We would not hesitate to seek out Alex again for coaching or to use OBG's for tours with our family. We would recommend OBG to anyone. Thanks to Alex and his team for all their help.

Our group worked with Alex on 3 sessions. He is excellent at helping elevate your riding. He cuts right to the main skill to work on and keeps it simple. We spent a lot of time on table top jumps and everyone made big progress. I strongly recommend him for his content and approach. Lessons with him will elevate your riding.

I traveled from Texas to Bentonville exclusively for the large amount of great MTB trails in the area, and given the size and scope of the trail system I decided to use Alex with Ozark bike guides to help guide me around. 1000% would recommend Alex. He was knowledgeable, super friendly, and created a custom route specifically for my skill level. He gave a great history of the area/trails, and he helped improve my skills by coaching me through the harder sections. He even provided local food and hiking recommendations. Riding with Alex felt like riding with a buddy I’ve known for years, and it

My group of seven rode with Alex and Ozark Bike Guided for four days. Our itinerary was fantastic: Alex took us to the best of Northwest Arkansas. At every step of trip planning and preparation the company was extremely responsive and prompt. When we ran into a few logistical challenges securing a rental car, Alex and his team jumped into action and found us a vehicle. When I had a tire issue on the trail, Alex fixed it quickly and professionally. Alex is a consummate teacher. He aided me and my friends in improving our skills and raising our confidence levels. I can’t recommend Alex or his team

As a beginner mtber, I needed to learn the basics so I can safely and confidently ride the trails. The skills lessons helped set me up for that. Alex was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He made it both fun and challenging.

If you're planning a trip to Bentonville and overwhelmed by the number of options, I highly recommend Ozark Bike Guides. From crazy bike parks to scenic cross country rides, Northwest Arkansas has it all and you'll want an experienced guide to show you the ropes. Tell Alex and his expert team your mountain biking experience and what you're looking for in a trip and they will make it happen!

Alex is a great guide and riding partner. He knows the best routes around the area, having grown up locally. I popped in for a work trip and we went riding together for a half-day gravel tour. I’m an experienced rider but it was awesome having a companion to show me around, take the guess work out of seeking out a route and have company. He also helped me locate a bike shop to rent a gravel bike from since I flew in. To be honest, it felt like riding with a buddy I’ve known for years. I cannot recommend Ozark Bike Guides enough.
