What's up everyone, Jimmy from MTB Travel Review here. Welcome back to the channel. Now since moving to Vermont, one thing I've realized is obviously there's a bit more winter up here. So skiing, snowboarding and fat biking are really all that everybody talks about once the standard mountain bike trail shut down. Now I've dove into skiing, started getting a touring, it's been an absolute blast, but everybody keeps talking about fat biking. So I decided it's time to give it a whirl. So I'm linking up with Matt, one of the owners of bootleger bikes. We are headed over to Eastburg for Mont. I'm running a fat bike, the Trek Farley from Eastburg Sports. We're gonna get after it and I'm gonna figure out if fat biking is all that everybody's talking about or fat biking sucks. So let's go see what we can find. Morning, how are you? I uh, put a fat bike on hold. You're gonna be in a YouTube video, so you just gotta deal with it. What's your name? Oh, Scott. Nice to meet you, Scott. God, it's hooked me up with this is Trek Farley. This is the Farley 7. At least it was that in the tube. Yeah. Oh, it's the green strip of the tube. Uh, studded tires. Big old meat. We got five PSI in the rear. That's six right now. We have a good time. Going north. We'll go out here. How are you going? We feel man. Appreciate it. Yeah. I'll see you in a bit. So bouncy. Look at you. You gotta be comfy. Making me look fat. You gotta be comfy, bro. You got bags and who are you? Jerry. Jerry? He's Matt for bootlegger bikes. He's gonna show me how it's done. Some reason I feel like I'm not prepared. You're prepared. Yeah. This will be good. All right, we're about to head out. See the key to fat biking is the gear, right? I got sick goggles. I got mittens. Got a whole set up with insulated shorts. He looks a little better than I do. He even got little hand bits. Isn't that those nice? Beautiful. I don't have those. Let's see what we can find. She's still working. Are you awake? We're up to 10 degrees now. It's pretty fun. It's like a slow-cooked brisket. This is not a char-boiled burger. Plugging along. Slow and steady. Slow and steady, but it's beautiful. We're gonna find some downhill stuff soon. Only I want speed on this bed. Oh yeah. Some epic downhill action. Frozen glasses. You get all nice and warm going up and then you drop in and everything freezes again. It's a real love-8 relationship out here. I think it's still like 10 degrees. And keep going. Skada. goggles on. Moccasons locked. Jumbo. Very good. You're up on. You get too confident. You forget how slippery it is. I can't believe how fun that is. It's so fun. It's just... We have an abnormal here. The Buddha. We have an abnormal here in Vermont. We've got... So we've got about 4 inches of snow right now. Makes for good riding, but should have a little more. According to the locals. Keep on. More people than I thought right there. Hello? Stay on. Yeah. Snack breaks. One of the finest Vermont snacks. Tows are numb. I should get real intributes, but it's beautiful day. Catch all. Full send. Yeah. He's down again. Rad for these cramps. That was a sexy crash. His corners are hard to read on a fat bike. That line is hard to find. The line between Drifty and Downey. He's down again. So close to the finish line. You've got to do things like 100 times before you actually learn how to do it. Are you finished strong, eh? Oh, did I go for a creamy right now? Full of earth. It's in. Fat bike, it's a good time. It's totally different. A little slippery. A little Drifty. I mean, if I could afford a fat bike, I'd definitely snag one. It's a blast. Make sure coming along, guys. Yee-ee! You
