Great video and thanks a million for sharing this! My lab Hunny and I did many trails when she was younger. The only thing I regretted was not getting her on joint supplements at an early age, which I highly recommend if you have not already done so as labs are susceptible to hip dysplasia and arthritis in their paws and joints. She was fast on the trail and always wanted to be on point in front of me.
Great content! Oh man I can’t imagine how much effort they make on all takes, thanks so much, Im just starting to enjoy my fat bike here in red deer alberta.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. I’m glad you guys brought your pup along for the ride, she looked like she was having a blast. P.s. I think I’m gonna have to check out a fat bike
William Crawford my pup literally chewed on the walls, door jambs, and even our glass door. It was like he tested the density of different surfaces for fun. He completely destroyed his first 3 beds. Did not grow out of that habit until he was 2. Now he is much better and knows what he can and cannot put his mouth in. He is amazingly smart though and has a huge vocabulary that he can respond to. Labs are also like clocks and almost unbelievable how very accurate too. Food, treat time, morning walk, play time in the yard (7pm) and yes, even bed time. He now will go upstairs to bed ahead of us to keep true to the schedule.
Great video what size tires were you running on the snow? How do you like the Lauf fork? looking at getting my first fat bike. Looking at a Rocky mountain Suzi-Q or Blizzard.
Thanks Jerry! The Lauf is great - really good for taking the edge off. If you ride buff singletrack, sand and snow, it's all you need. If you ride more techy terrain, then a suspension fork the like the Wren would make more sense. On snow, we're using 4.6s and/or 4.8s on rims that are usually 80mm or so.
Great Stuff love this video story ! I'm a lone Fattie rider here in East Texas - I've been on the hunt for a video presentation to show to friends & family to promote Fat riding - to some who MTB currently & some who could benefit from taking up riding, period. So, thanks for making this I'm gonna download & show around the town. PS I'm riding a modestly upgraded entry level Mongoose Malus and very satisfied. Can not imagine how much nicer a high grade Fattie would feel. Do you think the lighter weight of a Full Carbon rigid fattie would be enough or is Suspension fork that important of a thing ? Appreciate y'all - David in Nac Texas
hey David, dropping overall weight on a fatbike is really helpful - but, the biggest thing you can do to "improve" your ride is to drop weight for your wheelset. A lightether wheelset (carbon if you can swing it) set up with tubeless tires, will reduce the rotational mass a lot - so, less effort for you overall pedaling, quicker acceleration, etc. You'll also get less flat tubeless and can drop to lower PSI when needed. Guessing you don't get much snow in Texas, but if you're ever riding really loose sand, then being able to drop your PSI way down is really nice. Beyond that, a suspension for can help take the edge off on rocky trails for sure. If you're not riding super technical trails, the Lauf leaf-spring front fork, is a great "middle". Its carbon, so its super light. It's basically as light as a rigid aluminum fork. And, it doesn't have the travel that the Wren or Manitou forks have (both are great for more technical stuff), but it well help take the edge off. Ride on!
@@ACwithFT Great help thanks ! I already have Ghetto Split Tubeless w/ sealant. Dropped 1.8# off bike, improved feel on & off road for sure. Can a Lauf Spring fork be fit to Mongoose Malus frame ? What's the price range for a Full Carbon (rigid) Fattie ? I actually don't mind the heavy 40# as it helps me burn calories faster. I'm chill off road so no pride at stake here, LOL ! But I try to improve my technical skills on the forest trails. The Fattie has helped me as it floats over the roots & ruts whereas my std MTB would bounce off - make sense ? I'm pretty sure a 25-ish# Carbon Fattie would feel better in any case. Around here I'm pretty anomalous on this rig - haven't seen another Fattie yet. But I'm told that in Winter Spots they're EVERYWHERE. (just visited SLC UT and heard so). I REALLY appreciate your input & advice !!! - David in Nacogdoches Texas
@@hellosunshine1090 Cost is really hard to say, brands vary, but definitely look around. If you're on Facebook, join the Fat Bike group there - 25K members and a lot of good knowledge, and you may be able be able to find people in your area to ride with that are fatbikers too (once this whole virus is no longer an issue for meet-ups). There's also a Fatbike Trader group on FB if you'd consider buying used. Oh, the Lauf would likely work with your bike, but I'd reach out to Lauf first to make sure!
@@ACwithFT Super idea I'll check the Fat Bike Group on FB. And check out the Lauf options too. Thanks so much - David in Texas PS: The most dangerous virus today is the 'Panic Virus'....
Amazing...
Очень красиво. После таких видео хочется купить фетбайк

Watching it again wanting to ride the Winnemucca Nevada sand dunes .
These guys bike riding is another level . Enjoy watching them hopping from rock to rock . Insane skills . 👍
Gotta sub here. Great ridding bro.👍👍👍
Nice variety of terrain. Looked like a super fun trip.
Thanks Kris. There's a lot more riding in Nevada than I'd previously thought - some really diverse and beautiful terrain too
May have to road trip to the sand dunes this late winter. Our Door County shoreline Lake MI ice around March, is epic.
the Winnemucca Dunes are really cool! Sand Mountain too, but more hike-a-bike there. I've seen some cool stuff of Great Lakes ice - good stuff!
Nicely done! Makes me want to leave the snow of the Inland Northwest and go ride some sand dunes!
the dunes are super fun (and really beautiful) worth checking out at some point for sure!
hey guys! great video and thanks for sharing it.

Awesome.
Outstanding video! Go Fat Bikes!
it's amazing keep it up
Inspiring. So happy with my fattie!
love the indian music in the background.
Nice! I have a lab too but he is 1000x more hyper than most. I am sure he would eat the tires off my bike.
haha! Our previous pup was like that!
Lol! I had Chocolate lab that I named "Gator" he lived up to his name when he ate my chest freezer!
