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? The Pacific Northwest of the United States of America, specifically the Methow Valley to hear from a group of early adopters that call themselves the Northwest Fatbikers and our old friend Ward. 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 […]
Let’s take a stroll back to 2009 at re-introduce our newer readers to the the documentary film by Carl Battreall entitled Fat Bike! This week’s Fat Video is a blast from the past! We first shared Carl’s film back in 2013 and it’s been viewed over fifty thousand times and we think that it’s one […]

As is our custom, here at the fat dash bike dot com, we’ll let Viktor tell you […]
Our Amigo Illya is back with a clip from the Scottish Highlands. We haven’t shared a Fat Tuesday Video recently, so its always nice to back into the groove! I can think of no better way to get back into the groove, than with a clip from Scotland! Here’s what Illya had to say about […]
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 […]

Manuel Scheidegger is a two time Fat (video) Tuesday contributor from Switzerland. Here’s what Mänu shared about his clip. How good are fatbikes really?

Our amigo and Fatback Ambassador, Pat Smage shared an edit from a trip, that he and Hannah took last month. Fair warning to any human powered, purists – There’s a little bit of throttle twist’n braaap in the clip. We’re going to be working with Pat on a video of him working his particularly […]

Back in August, 2015, Fatback announced a new fat-bike aimed to be a “Do it all” bike. A fat-bike that feels lively on the trail as well as comfortable while taking a stroll through sand or snow. So around six weeks ago Gomez had the Rhino sent out to me in Moab for some testing. […]
