We had a week at Ballater in the highlands of Scotland. It was an opportunity to complete a route intended for the bikepacking weekend trip up Glen Tilt earlier in the year. We were to go north from White Bridge up to Corrour Bothy and loop back round back to Glen Tilt and home. […]

I feel pretty connected to this story, even though I’m not a passionate angler. I’ve known Mike and Hansi for years and we’ve even worked with Mimi Matsuda, the artist that painted the bags, that are featured on the Salsa Blackborow mid-tail fat-bikes ridden in the piece. I’ve even done some bikepacking on a Salsa […]

Bryce Webster sent us a video of his shake down cruise near Calgary. The Canadian winter starts earlier than down in the US and the trails look pretty sweet. We experienced our first snow flakes just the other day, in the Big Whiskey! Hell, I even went and watched a fat-bike race, down in Lake […]

Eric Parsons and I trade emails, now and then and a few weeks ago he included a photo of some Musk Ox hair stuck on a bush, with a vague reference to his latest trip to Western Alaska. An area called the Nulato Hills. Eric is the man behind Revelate Designs and if you ever […]

Fatbike Cairngorm Tour 3. This is the third weekend sortie exploring another glen called Glen Edendon. Like the first tour up Glen Tilt (https://youtu.be/dh5QS2MJ0_o) it runs from the southern edge of the Cairngorms north. The plan was to ride its entire length and do a U turn at the top in to Glen Feshie. However […]
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 […]
Paul Scott just started his journey as a film maker. I’m a fan of this sort of thing. Triptastic Techno n’stuff. This is how Paul describes his clip. The first of a series of short ‘rushes’ created using clips from Blue Coo MTB members rides. The clips used in this little multi-layer test edit were […]
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. The title that they’ve given the clip is “CCH Where Only Fat Bikes Can Go”. Enjoy this week’s presentation of Fat (video) Tuesday! Share […]
Let’s set the “Wayback” machine for the year 2014, shall we Sherman? Where are we going this week, Mr. Peabody?

Here’s a […]
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 […]
Fat bikes are still, somewhat of a niche right now. A byproduct of this is a lack of choices for fat bike specific components. Case in point, air suspension forks. It seems like there are a lot of choices (on paper) with Olaf, RST, Bluto & The fork of many names, but there can […]
Looks like Global Fat-Bike Day 2016 was a blast over in the great white north of Europe! Can we call that Scandinavia, without pissing anyone off? We basically start in Sweden and then stay with Finland the rest of the way. Let me start over….We’re going to share a few videos from the land […]
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 […]

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 […]

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, […]
