Fat Biking New Mexico With Skydio2

- Trying out our new toy Skydio 2 for the first time. We are very impressed. Still learning what all it can do but it’s tracking system is much much more advanced than our Mavic Air. In fact the Mavic Air doesn’t even come close to tracking this well. Put Skydio 2 up in the air and forget it. It does what it’s meant to do. Track. We are using the beacon and the phone together to monitor and control the drone in flight. Many of the trails featured in this video are fat bike specific. Please do not attempt these trails if you don’t have a true fat bike. It’s very silty and sandy and fat bikes protect the integrity of the trail and will not destroy the thin crust that has been built up over the years.
WOW! Very good aerial work. Love the Fat Bikes. I've watched this 3 times today.
You raised the bar way up there with this video. Pure excellence!
absolutely, this is a lifestyle video, not the mtb footage anymore. Great shots and music as well.
Thank you. 🙌
I'm just in love with your youtube channel! And I definitely like you two a lot. )
wow! don't lose that drone... added to the other trail shots by far the best ride along trail video, just great!
Glad you liked it!
l'attente fut longue , mais quelle vidéo magnifique , ce désert , cette nature , le FAT et maintenant les plans en drone qui éblouisses cette ensemble , Superbe , Merveilleux , splendide........MERCI
Great Videos !!!!
Your Videos inspires me to ride more on my FAT Bike !!!!!!
It did an awesome job tracking!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For not using free rave music in your video! Because of that I was able to enjoy it all the way to the end.
Fun stuff! Such a lovely state we're in~💛
Fantastic film !
Great video!
Fatty's Rock!!!
🤘🏽😎🇺🇲
Wow, Another sweet one, You guys really know how to live. Great job. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Your best video, the new drone footage is fantastic. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
Looks good. That drone is a step up from helmet cams!
Totally worth watching all the way through. Pretty amazing AI follow footage, hope it keeps getting better even if it puts me out of a job. I'd rather be riding than filming.
awesome footage guys holy crap
Great drone footage 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video👍🏾👍🏾
What an awesome landscape you have there. Epic Skydio footage too. We're still waiting on Australian nanny state red tape to be cut before we're allowed the Skydio for the consumer market. What a joke.
Hopefully you guys get some freedom over there. Looking forward to seeing some of that footage over there when you get it.
Wow..Great video.🤘I Love FAT BIKE ❤️ Nice music 🎶 Nice location 👍 ❤️ From India 🙏🌹👍
Thanks for the beautiful video
4:55 zoomin! 🤘🏽
Great video again!! I'm north of you a bit I want to ride these trails
Awesome!
Man, the drone footage is fire 🔥. Your carrying the beacon on you?
Yes, we are using the beacon and phone together. Pretty cool being our first time taking it out.
@@NewMexicoOutside first time out?? wow, vid is amazing. 🤯👌🏼
@@NewMexicoOutside Can you provide a link to the drone technology you used ? very cool video, thanks for putting in the effort for us to enjoy.
This video was awesome!
...and it also proves that the earth is flat! 😂🤣 and that disco music never dies but it evolves 🙂👍
Great footage!! Just out of curiosity.. why a fat bike and not something like a Nice XC hard tail?? I love my XC hard tails and I guess im looking for a reason a fat bike would be a good replacement..
Very good question. Once you try a nice fat bike you’ll probably want one…
Why fat bikes?
With a fat bike you are not limited on the tire width. You can run up to 5 inch wide tires. And any size wheel below that if you wanted ~ 27.5+, 29+, 26, etc.
Fat bikes are like monster trucks, the Jeep’s of the bike world. They can go anywhere and are unlimited compared to our skinny tire bikes. You can ride through all four seasons and all surface types on the same bike. With minimal trail impact. Snow, sand dunes, arroyos, cobblestone river beds, slick rock, hard pack, you name it.
And they help build/roll in the trail. So you’re actually doing trail maintenance as you ride. Smoothing out all those skinny tire mud ruts is an extra bonus for your local singletrack.
Our goal is to inspire more people getting outside and encouraging adding a fat bike to the quiver. Go explore more places and have less of an impact while riding in sandy softer soils. Broaden your horizons with a nice fat bike. Explore the many miles of sandy arroyos and dunes in the southwest without pizza cutting through the desert crust (“pizza cutting” increases erosion).
Here are some fat bikes in the wild deserts of New Mexico. Mariposa Fat Bike Trail system. Keep singletrack single and tread lightly. The desert takes a very long time to heal and vegetation doesn’t recover like it does in greener areas.
i just lost my mavic mini yesterday to the winds! im getting this skydio 2 next. I could not do any of these shots with the mini. e
The Skydio2 is a pretty cool tool for sure.
my son and i are coming to new mexico in june to visit friends with our fat bikes. would love to know what trails these are.
hi, great vid loved it and im very jealous, great drone footage beats chest mount video clips absolutely awesome guys ,can you tell me what helmet you sre wearing the graphics on that is lovely. mark
The helmets we are wearing are the A2 by Troy Lee Designs.
@@NewMexicoOutside thanks 👍😃
Video is epic! What are some of those trails, I want to come up from Las Cruces and ride some. Looks like some fun XC riding.
Mariposa fat bike Trails. The Meadows, Fat In the Fire, Beautiful Strange Trail and a mix of many others.
Major fat bike work in the desert 🏜
Bravo!
Great footage! What is the music? I always enjoy your soundtracks.
This is Awesome. Where is this? I would like to ride there.
New Mexico rules.
was the drone all autonomous when following?
Yep. Shot with Skydio 2. :)
@@Skydio how much is it?
Nice ride , to bad you don’t have it on Strava
1440p ?
There are people that are very into the cinematic experience you are providing. These are trails you have been riding for a long time and you know ever inch of the trail, every nuance. But for me, after I watched one the others are just a repeat. You are not providing any information. I watch biking videos to find out what the trail(s) are like. You have a nice large following so just ignore me. But check out Van Girl Yuka. She does some great informative mountain biking videos.
Always associate fat bikes with snow and soft muddy conditions or sand only. That is what I use mine for. These trails don't look any more loose and silty than St. George and virgin Utah. Why no regular bikes on some of these trails. They are just tame blue trails.
Looks are deceiving. It’s very very sandy for miles. Unfortunately standard width tires plow and rut the the loose soils on the trail resulting in massive damage cutting through the thin layer of crust that has developed over many many years. We don’t get rain here to help the soils bind. It is a very unique situation in this area. Riding fat bikes help maintain the trail and ensure riding can continue on these private lands.
@@NewMexicoOutside Sounds reasonable. Besides, why use a hammer when you need a sledge hammer. Must be going tubeless to run low PSI and not pinch flat.
