FlatArk,

Is slaughter pen worth the trip from Tulsa? A buddy and I may be able to get away next weekend and thought about coming over to play. Not free ride guys per se' but i do like the occasional dirt jump and skinny.

What do you think? Might even make time to hit the bike shop

If you like riding dirt jumps and skinnies then you should have a great time at Slaugter Pen. I don't know of any other place remotely close where you can find this level of freeride type trails. The XC trails are really fun also and the trail crew does an excellent job of keeping them up and they seem to be steadily adding to them all of the time. The shop is just 5-10 minutes from the trails so if you make it out definitely try to make it by. We stay open til 7pm M-Sat.

 

Just want everyone to know how happy I have been with my Mojo experience. Max has been extremely helpful and patient while I decided which bike would suit my needs best. Customer service has just been great. I already have a rigid SS 29er, but if I didn't, that blue Redline MonoCog Flight 29er would be coming home with me! Max, looking forward to my new 29er and checking out the store once you expand!

SoDakSooner -- Slaughter Pen now has around 12 or 13 miles of trails plus the DJ area, I would say it is worth the trip, especially if this style of riding is limited in your area (skinnies, DJ). If you like fast XC riding, check out Hobbs when you head this way if you have time, as long as it is outside of hunting season since Hobbs closes during this time.

 

Thanks all. Not sure if I am the great skinny rider or dirt jump guy, but sounds like fun and a break in the monotony(not really monotonous) of the Tulsa trails. Just looking for something a bit different.

Planning on Saturday at this point weather permitting.

 

I just bought a Pivot 429 from Mojo... straight up great guys to deal with even though I havent had the honor visiting the shop in person yet. All transactions were straight forward and very competitive!

MTBNate, thank you for your business. Be sure and post up some photos of your 429 when you get it built. I haven't had the chance to demo a Mach 429 but I have ridden a Mach 4. The DW link is a really impressive platform. I've personally never been big on FS but I could see myself buying one of those.

Thanks again,
Max

 

Does anyone know where I can get an updated map of the Slaughterpen trail system? I have ridden there, but only the 4-5 mile loop.. Where are the additional (new) trails located? Thanks in advance!

Just recently found out about Mojo Bike Shop in Bentonville, Arkansas. We stopped by to check it out a couple of days ago. I was really impressed with the guys that run the shop. They have a real passion for what they are doing! I ended up buying a "Rocky Mountain" 2008 ETSX 10 for my wife. Also, I am just starting the process of having them custom build me a NINER R.I.P 9. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'll let everyone know how it turns out!

Hey MTBNate, I rented the Pivot Mach 429 in Moab a couple of days ago and took it on "Slickrock". I loved it! You have a great bike! It inspired me to get a 29er. Mojo is building me one now!

 

I test rode one of the Pivot 429s during one of their demo days down here at Burns Park last winter... it is an awesomely sweet bike, and immediately flung me back into bike lust...

Just purchased an 08 Felt Virtue 2 from these guys. Great deal, super nice guys. Check em out!

Here is the latest map, you can download a cc from the city website here: https://www.bentonvillear.com/docs/Parks/mtn_bike_trails.pdf

 

Time to revive an old thread!

Mojo is quite possibly my favorite bike shop. Great staff, really know their stuff. They came under new management a while back, and are really running a class act there in Bentonville. Stop in and check them out! Plug yourself in to the biking community with the backing of a great shop!
