Hey Pat Smage and Hannah Smage! That looked like a great trials competition! Loved the comparison of the different bikes and moto! Thanks for sharing! Ride ride ride!
Fun watching you with the 3 types of bikes! Not surprised that you preferred the Sherco, but you ride them all brilliantly 👏👏. Congrats to Hannah also for her efforts; she's riding great (of course she IS learning from the best 😊). Thanks very much for producing this for us to enjoy!
Looks like a fun, well run event. I like how the bike trial sections we able to be rolled instead of hopping around and all back wheel like a lot of comp vids you see nowadays.
They are definitely made to be more like pogo sticks than bikes it seems! That was apparent after trying to roll through some things. I prefer the more rolling style for sure, more like mototrials that way.
Can I give this a love instead of a like???!! So cool to watch. I know I keep saying it but seeing Miss Hannah crushing the terrain is awesome! Pat, you look so at home on the Skookum and the Sherco. What about a larger trials bicycle with a longer wheel base like the Skookum? Loved watching this.
I may have forgotten to warm up on the the trials bicycle so felt a bit off on it. And I don’t ride it nearly enough. It actually has a pretty long wheelbase for a 24. I wouldn’t mind trying a 26 but will probably just ride this one a bit more for now. Not sure I can get Hannah to though haha, it’s tough for her just to get the front wheel up with how far over the front the stem puts you.
I keep saying it... you're about to blow up dude! Keep at it.. This time next year I bet you're over 100k subs! Good stuff! You're skills are insane... also, do you test the rocks you hop on for security first? Have any ever slid away from under you?
Thanks for the positive thoughts! We will see what happens, it's not easy to grow these things, haha. During a trials event, you always walk the lines first and feel the rocks for stability. You can usually tell if one is loose and either avoid it or "be light" over it. But, I have had some break or move on me in competition, it can be pretty sketchy at times. Also, sometimes when just out practicing you end up hitting things without walking them first and that can lead to some surprises.
It sounded like Hannah calls her fat bike "fat back" (edit: Below Pat says they ARE Fatback bikes! Sorry Hannah!) and now I want bacon... Very cool riding! Lots of progress, and it was very cool to see the back to back to back of the three types of bikes for both of you!
Haha the fatbike brand we ride is actually called Fatback. It was definitely tricky going back and forth on such different bikes! Probably should have warmed up on the weird one a little, haha.
I helped set up the final section. Guess I needed to move that ribbon down closer to the "water" rock. Not that getting your tires wet would have made any difference. And somebody moved the final exit ribbon on the bicycle trials portion, so you didn't have to ride down and exit out the final rock gulch. Ummm good thing the trials master didn't catch this....
You left just enough room! Thanks for making a good section for all bikes. I was wondering why the end changed on Saturday, would have been a tricky little climb on the bicycles.
@@PatSmage oh ok !! i wasn't sure that it was a 24' , thanks for the details. that's why you don't like this bike !! sell it and get and inspired hex 26' , their geometry will suit you better. Ali C makes very nice buttersmooth moves on it ! th-cam.com/video/q_4gVJpSJtA/w-d-xo.html

Great contrast to see it ridden on different bikes. Loved seeing your brother riding it too.
Good to see you guys out on the Shercos!
I like this attempt very much!! It got the people around you impressed, and then must brought you another level.
You guys are AWESOME! Y'all need a lot more recognition, im going to share your stuff bad

Those bicycles are the most wicked workout!
Did I like this? YES!!!! What was my favorite? THE FAT BIKES OF COURSE :-)
Fat bikes rule!

Very cool stuff Pat! It makes me want to learn trials.
Trials will help with every other discipline, so it is a great thing to practice. 👍
So sick as always!!!
That was awesome. Looks like a blast.
Killed it Pat!
That was a lot of fun to watch! Thanks!
Outstanding!
Amazing, so much control
Awesome as always!
Crazy amount of skill!!!
Really cool to see how the sections are for bicycle trials, and yes Hannah those bikes are weird, you really got to get used to it.
kill'n it Pat and Hannah

Oh! I missed that part! Now i'll want bacon during all of the videos!
Amazing!!
Pat! When our border opens you’ve got to come check out Kicking Horse bike park. I will quit my job to be there to meet you if I have to.
That place looks amazing! Quite the drive from here but maybe some day.
Cool mate! You ar the coolest!😎
cool video,thank you

love your videos i was wondering why you have your fork on backwards on the fat bike?
Manitou forks have a reverse arch, the arch is behind the fork legs.
Manitou runs a reverse arch on their forks.
talent ! that ECHO seem so small ! how tall are you actually ? thanks, cheers !
I am 6'. It's a 24" echo but pretty sure everything looks small compared to fat tires haha.

Nice!!
Do you think bicycle trials could help with extreme enduro riding if you don't have a moto trials bike
Yeah it would, not as much as a motorcycle but some techniques are similar enough.
I can’t stop thinking that fork is backwards. I’ve never seen one like that!
See a whole bundle of them here: hayesbicycle.com/collections/manitou 👍
Are you allowed to hop or stop while on the bicycle?
Yep you can go backwards and in circles too.
amazing
water section on the edge couldve been done in the water on the flat stone? o.o
Yep! Just felt like hitting the skinny edge instead of getting wet I guess.
why is ur fat tire bike fork backwards
Works better for backwards nose wheelies that way… just kidding, Manitou runs a reverse arch.
Fat bikes don’t get the love they deserve
only full sus I want to see you ride is your mototrials.
