In the outdoor adventure capital of the South, an event unfurled that left the desert sands of Bentonville, Arkansas, buzzing with the thrill of mountain bike madness. YT Industries brought the 'Live Uncaged' spirit to life at The YT Mill with the legendary Green River Classic, a weekend that put the pedal to the metal in ways Bentonville had not yet seen.

The Green River Classic wasn't your garden-variety bike event. It had all the trappings of a festival but with the gnarly edge of competitive mountain biking. The weekend was jam-packed with slalom racing where riders battled it out, carving through the desert with agility and speed that would make a roadrunner envious.

A highlight amongst the high-octane festivities was the much-anticipated Jump Jams—think of it as an aerial ballet with bikes, but far more extreme. Athletes propelled themselves through the air, showcasing jaw-dropping tricks that left the crowds spellbound. And for the daredevils who truly wowed the audience? A sweet cash prize to reward their aerial artistry.

Not one to pause the excitement, the Classic also hosted a movie premiere that had the biking aficionados of Northwest Arkansas huddled together under a blanket of stars, eyes glued to a screen that mirrored their adventurous spirits.

But the Green River Classic wasn't all about competition and premieres; it embodied the #goodtimes that YT Industries stands for. Nestled amidst the picturesque backdrop of the Ozarks, Bentonville's community and visiting bike enthusiasts came together to celebrate a shared passion for mountain biking and the great outdoors.
