Normally people pick up the fat bike for riding across Arctic tundra, over sand or through deep bogs. Not Pat Smage, though. At his local riding spot, Pat defies the preconceptions of fat biking by hucking, shredding and schralping his chunky-tyred beast around the woods.
To everyone who’s hating on the video, can any of you do that on any bike? Pretty awesome riding all around. And it’s a 26” Bike which is the only way 26” is not dead.
How did he convince his girl to film him? Him: "Honey would you like to come out and watch me ride around an abandoned lot?" Her: "???" Him: "What if I gave you a fishing pole with a gopro on the end of it to chase me around with?" Her: "Start the car"
And this comes the day I put two motorcycles up for sale to consider a fat bike (and pay for a wedding)... yeah, guess I should seal the deal on the bike (and the gal!).
@bubbrubb: I know... I wonder that... but we have a legit fat bike scene in the woods here. I really need to ride one a few more times and figure it all out!
I have a friend of mine that have done some promotional videos on a fat bike and has gone thru a couple of wheelsets and countless flats to make such videos .
Exactly like the ski\snowboard arguments. Gear of choice DOESN'T matter, its all about the shenanigans your pulling in your chosen line... seak and send!!

Pat is an insanely lucky guy to have her in his life.
Also, that "abandoned lot" is his... yet again he's pretty darn lucky
And yes, I met them and they're super down to earth and cool.

Shredding? No, that's not what this is.
