Wow this is really a super high quality video! So well done! I've ridden several of those trails on my Salsa Beargrease. Fat bikes work well on many of the Tucson mtn bike trails but you don't see too many.
Great capture... where's that "5th Ave" trail ? I wonder if that is the real name that locals know it by. I live in NW Tucson - and have been mountain biking at most of the major trails, however most of my riding was 2003-2007 ... I'm getting back into it now in Jan of 2020.
Eric Langlois There are always dangers while riding bikes but rattlesnakes are rarely seen. Crashing and having a yard sale on the rocks is more of a concern. Snakes and desert life usually try and hide and stay out of sight when we do see them. It’s best to give them their space, after all it is their home we are visiting. With that said, it is good to know how to bunny-hop just in case. 🙂
I enjoy the Desperado trail at Sweetwater and the Fantasy Island trail system in the Old Pueblo. Great footage and editing. As with too many videos the music is a distraction.
Saw your pics on MTB Project and decided to check out your video. Just rode Sweetwater for the first time today thanks to seeing both of your fat bikes! Don't see many of those around down here...not enough anyway. I really need to get mine built. How does your wife like the Kenda Juggernaut Pros? Is your bike a Bullet TI? Looked at those before buying my Shaman frame.
We parked at the Richard Genser lot and headed out Rock Wren, Starr Pass and eventually looped around to Yetman. It’s north on Yetman from the intersection with Rock Wren. Looks like you could also access it if you parked at a place called Camino de Oeste and headed south on Yetman.
Is it true that fat bikes are slower (than city/cruiser bicycles) on a paved road? How about acceleration? Does full suspension on a fat bike makes sense? What about hub/bottom bracket gearboxes (Rohloff/Pinion) on fat bikes? I want to purchase a fat bike for a year-round city/trail commuting. The place where I live also has snowy winters, so my choice is inclined towards fat bike instead of mtb/plus bike.
H K if you buy a decent fat bike you won't be disappointed. You can always put slicks on if you are doing a lot of commuting. Some of us have two sets of wheels: 27.5 X 3.0. Fat bikes are very diverse. You can fit a skinny wheel up to a 5.0 wide wheel within the frame. Full suspension is very nice but you really don't need it on a fat bike unless you are doing alot of big drops and stuff. The fat tires dampen most of the bumps. As with all bikes usually the more it cost the lighter it is. There are many good carbon fat bikes out there that weigh around 24 pounds
I live in Tucson I would be scared shit of having a rattlesnake just jump out at you there's so many of them out here.. also there's so many thorns everywhere that has to be hell on your tires.
Also live in Tucson. I get rattled at on the regular. Luckily haven't been bit yet though! As for the cactus/thorns, going tubeless is pretty much the only option if you are gonna ride around in this desert.

Wow! Great video, pictures, music, and ride! I have had a sweet tooth for a fat bike for a while now. Good job on the video editing!
I came to Tucson 50 years ago when I was thirteen. And never left. Your video is too cool. Need fat tired MTB.
These trails look amazing! Great video.

And all with a hard tail fat bike: pretty neat!
Ali Aliabadi Thanks. They are very fun bikes.
New Mexico Outside I agree wholeheartedly!
Look so much fun!!!! What would happen if you come across a rattle while biking?
Eric Langlois It happens. We would capture it on camera of course just like in some of our other videos. 🌵🐍
New Mexico Outside No danger from being bitten by one if you come close to one while biking?

Very cool!
Running tubes or tubeless with all those thorns around?
Be sure to Slime your tubes out there around all those cactus.
So cool, NM has better deserts than SoCal. Where did you get that cool jersey with the pockets that she is wearing. Perfect for what your doing.
Tracy Howell She ordered it online but any standard road bike jersey should have those pockets in the back.
Cool trailer

Nice place for riding a fatbike..
I live in Tucson, how do you get to that Bowen Rock house? where do you park and start out from?
We parked at the Richard Genser lot and headed out Rock Wren, Starr Pass and eventually looped around to Yetman. It’s north on Yetman from the intersection with Rock Wren. Looks like you could also access it if you parked at a place called Camino de Oeste and headed south on Yetman.
@@NewMexicoOutside ok thanks.
@@NewMexicoOutside how far out is this Bowen House from yetman?

New Mexico Outside Thanks for the good advice.

This is soothing
Where is this at. And what is it called. P.s. I know it is in Tucson but what is the track called
Dylan Moffit Several different trail areas. if you watch the video again there are trail names that are “flash” labeled on the bottom of the screen.
Dylan Moffit another tip is download the trail forks app. It will show you many the local trails for that region.
What trail is this?
SheMountainBikes It’s a compilation of several trails. As you watch some are mentioned in text at the bottom during the video.
Super!!!
Fantastico e bravissimi👍
Woooowwww :)
Biking on shorts on a cactus-laden course... no thanks, but cool video!
Do you use flat or spd pedals ?
R.R. FineArt SPD. Either XT or XTR
I know, the most reliable ever. I use Xtr on my XC 29 front
Jumping choia!
your tires are too large
