The hum of tires carries a long way, and Springdale is about to hear plenty of it.

You know the sound if you have ever ridden a bike. It is the whir of a freewheel on a coast downhill and the soft thump of tires landing after a small jump. It takes you straight back to the first time you rode without anyone holding the seat.

Hear it once and you want to hear it again. A weekend in Springdale gives you the excuse.

Rolling Back the Years

If you would rather show a bike than race one, the 2nd annual NWA Vintage BMX Show & Swap Meet is part of the day’s action. You can show off your style and join the parade. Funky and old school bikes roll through, along with highly customized builds, and you meet other people who love to tinker.
