He doesnt need a fatbike..... But he needs and 18000$ sled, 12000$ bike, 50$a day on gas, 300$ custom sled rack, 200$ on tires and shit load of patience to drill 600 holes and 600 screws. LOL
i know i am gonna get neg proped, but who the fuck really does that shit, goes pich snowmobile with bike rack i man that's just COME ON LETS DO SMTH DIFFERENT.
I shred on a downhill bike all winter.
However I also ride with a fatbiker and there are places that I just can't ride on that his giant tires will sail through no problem.
No matter what you ride winter biking is awesome though.
And if you're in an area with a lot of snowmobile trails, its even better to take an old set of tires and install studs on them. The trails pack down so nice.
I though it was great music. Different, yes, but better than the average MTB video with bogus dubstep or other absurdly trendy music that any idiot can sync up to his super fresh vid.
Pretty much sums up my dream of how I could approach winter. But the reality is this kids got some serious cash to blow. Go price a 2013+ Ski doo Tundra or Skandic and get back to me. shits like 12k before tax.
dealer cost on snowmobiles are 15% to 20%. they tend to make it selling accessories and service. In other words, even if dad owns a snowmobile shop its still a large expense.
Plenty of people these days drive 40 grand (GBP) audi's, beemers and mercs and no one bats an eyelid. So what if he has a 12k snowmobile. Fair play to the lad.
a car is essential for most people, with financing and lease options majority of individuals can afford to buy new these days. Hell, if I wanted to I could go buy myself a 45k car tomorrow and finance the shit out of it. Snowmobiles don't have the option to lease there typically a straight up cash deal. If you want to finance one your typically going to be dealing direct with a bank loan and be paying some harsh interest fees.
Its called inspecting what you ride dumbass or do you just blindly ride off shit i would have taken one look and ya I would've went balls to the wall oh no im gonna bail into snow off a six foot drop on a fully, I crash on my snowboard all the time off bigger shit with no suspension under me
no matter what you clowns say to me You wont change my opinion on that clip. The rest of the vid was alright but he shit the bed in the first scene hate all you want I call it how I see it
LOL, that was really steep, on snow(and probably on ice underneath). From Makkens reaction and knowing the things he can do on a bike it was obviously gnarly.

But I think riding a fatbike is as fun as riding any bike.
Have you seen any of Makken's other footage? The dude charges and certainly doesn't seem to be "scared" of anything.
