FATBIKE ADVENTURE THROUGH TAVAN BOGD NATIONAL PARK, ALTAI MOUNTAINS, WESTERN MONGOLIA The first time I went to Mongolia was 4 years ago. As a photographer, I had long wanted to visit the far western part of Mongolia, which shares a boarder with China to the south and Russia to the north. I spent 3 weeks […]
We’re back in the Cairngorms for a weekend of mountain biking visiting familiar trails in the awe inspiring Scottish landscape and to seek out any news trails that took our fancy. The route we planned took us to the area north east of Aviemore out past Glenmore starting from the other end to the far […]
For years I’ve always had a dream of riding somewhere desolate and remote on my bike. I thought that dream was just going to stay a dream as I’m a normal guy with a wife and 3 kids. However, last December during a bivvy ride with my mate, John ‘Climber’ I planted a seed of […]
Our amigo Illya is back with a video of a trip to the Isle of Harris in Scotland. Here’s what Illya shared about this week’s clip. Fatbikes ride the infamous Postman’s trail on the Isle of Harris. If you live in Scotland or visiting the land of the clans then probably very high on a […]
This week’s film is from a weekend bikepacking ride along the full length of the magnificent Glen Tilt in the extreme north of Perthshire Scotland.

Have you ever wondered how cool it would have been , to have ridden a fat-bike, when you were a little kid? I think about it all of the time, when I’m cruising along the sandy singletrack trails or out on the beach. My bike helps to transport me back to my boyhood….riding my sting […]
We all love an epic adventure, whether it’s that week long biking trip you’ve had with friends, an expedition across the arctic or a couple of days away on your local trails. For me last week, I had one of these ‘epic adventures’ which saw me away from the house for just 12 hours. We […]
All that I know about this video is that the You-Tube channel is called New Mexico Outside. The music that they’ve used and the terrain are both big draws for their clips.

Winter in the UK, the time were riding seems to be a wet affair. However, with spring showing its face one Saturday late in March I thought I’d hatch a plan. Now I’ve took in this route at the start of the ride a few times before. Starting at 1,200 feet I made my way […]

The Quaraing on the Isle of Skye is one of the most renowned geological features in Scotland. It is a landslip on the eastern coast of the Isle of Skye. The whole of the ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips. Apparently the Quiraing is the one part of it still moving […]

Bike Black Ribbon Test Pilot, Dustin Carlson put together what he’s calling the “Fat-Bike Supercut”…..some people call it a kaiser blade……I call it a slingblade. Three out of four dentists recommend that you hit play and read the very few words of the man, his own bad self…. I can’t express enough how much fun […]
Tomorrow is the first day of Winter on the earth’s northern hemisphere, so that make’s this Yule’s Eve; or as your favorite cable TV meteorologist might refer to as the winter solstice. I like to say it’s the shortest day of the year (even though each day is 24 hours long, more or less). The […]
This month I have chosen the first video I made of my fat-bike. It was the first big ride on my new bike apart from the ride around the block just to be sure nothing fell off. I had just finished building the bike 2 weeks earlier back in February 2016. I had only […]

Big Eau Pleine (BEP) is one of my favorite little spots in Central ‘Sconsin. It’s a Marathon County Park that’s situated on a peninsula that juts out into the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir on the Wisconsin River. It looks somewhat like the Korean Pennisula in 1/250th scale. I’ve always dreamed of winter camping there […]

Two months ago, my take on fat biking was this: I love it! It is a great way to switch up the local trails and make them new again. If and when it snows, I can keep right on truckin’, never miss a beat. But when it comes to “epic all mountain” trails, […]
Uncle Gomez asked me if I’d like my own portal to fat dash bike dot com and this is my first solo flight. If this were one of Gomez’s posts, he might say – “This weeks video is posted by Bike Black Ribbon Test Pilot Jeff ‘Summittoppler’ Price out there on the coast in […]

I also contacted Travis at Trek HQ […]

A trail fat bike? I thought fat bikes were only good for snow and sand! Well, Kona is out to prove the naysayers wrong. The Wozo is a beautiful mix of the trail-shredding Honzo and the Wo fat bike that Kona offers. With its aggressive geometry, Schwalby Jumbo Jim tires, 100mm Bluto fork, […]
