Riding My Dream Lines On A FAT BIKE??

[@jst88]

Much respect for this project. I love the fact that it’s all self produced too.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks very much Jay!

[@markfisher6917]

Don’t see anyone else riding lines like that up there! Loved the edit, was great to see behind the scenes. The effort involved to do all that solo is immense! Keep up the great work Ali🤘🏼

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks very much Mark!

[@eldenthing1]

You skille are absolutely massive my friend. Doing it on the fatbike gives me endless joy to watch it!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks a lot Martin :)

[@quesoner34]

Might well be the best I've seen from You! Despite the riding, creativity and editing being obviously top notch, I always come back for your open and honest way of presentation. Thank you for just being exited and determined at what you do. Glad to see you out and shining after the rougher times you had!

[@danyarchambault7121]

Totaly agree with you. That AliMonsterQuestMingler is so motivated he got me in his mood... I just got my trial bike out three weeks ago after a long canadian winter trying back hops on ice while last year I barely succeeded to hop back and sideway and this week I defied my own mind saying "danger, keep off" trying to roll down then up then back hop and sideway hop to land down still holding on back wheel and follow by a short wheely all of it on a section of curb which looks from the side as a smooth riverbed transversal section. It's located at Port Hope ON-Route service area just between the trucks parking and the main building. I also tried to hop up the cutted stone pile behind the coffeeshop by the car exit... but too much for my experience. Still Ali... seing you help me push myself and learn more. Thank for you spirit and always enjoyable descriptions of your bikes and quest you do with them! Honestly would like to see you on those fallen trees with John Carthy guy from Shin Dig and/or (sorry I forgot their names) guys with which you returned to competitions. Your group spirit is a family must see show here with my young son and daughter... it pushes them also to try a bit more each time with their Monty P205.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks very much guys!

[@KokoroKompass]

That was amazing Ali! Loved that more than the edit. I really thought those big ass tires were a gimmick, but you sure proved me wrong.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

they definitely have their place...they won't replace normal wheels but if you're bored of your local trails a fat bike will make them interesting again :)

[@davidogilvie3572]

Absolutely love watching these videos, unbelievable skill and work ethic, top man 😎👍

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks very much David :)

[@YanDoroshenko]

Love the suspenseful sound of the drone when you were going onto that wobbly log.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

kinda wish I'd tried it again though!

[@markhirst1296]

As the chap in the beginning of your vid said, loved watching your videos for ages now. Awesome watching your skills. Would love you to teach this old relic how to ride properly 😎

[@Ali_Clarkson]

cheers Mark :)

[@lynxg4641]

Great to see the behind the scenes of the edit. Always wonder, how many tries did this or that take when you watch edits, so always enjoy seeing the behind the scenes. What's cool is sometimes the moves you thought took many, many tries, were actually the ones that went the easiest and the ones that looked simple, maybe 1st or 2nd try doable, took the most attempts. OT, but still waiting on the Hope hub, Pawls mod vid for those of us with them looking to experiment.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Lynx...out of curiosity which did you think were the easy moves and which were the hard? It's quite interesting to get peoples thoughts on this :) Hope hub video will happen but Adam from Tartybikes is going to be doing it and it's a 6 hour round journey to visit him so we're waiting for a couple of other things to line up so we can make the most of my time down with him :)

[@lynxg4641]

Um, let's see if I can recall unbiased after watching the behind the scenes...IIRC the one up onto the piece of tree broken off, but still attached, I thought you made that look too easy in the edit, must have taken a load of tries and that last one with the stump from a broken off branch sticking up somehow seemed like it would have been an easier for you, oh and the one down the steep bank to hard right, didn't think that one was so tech from the edit :-) But I don't, couldn't even think of looking at any of that stuff and consider any of it possibly rideable, so judging is quite hard. Most I can do is get my front wheel up on a ledge when I need it LOL. I remember watching the behind the scenes of Danny's 70s rock themed edit and thinking that the slide across the top of the table was a breeze, took a couple tries, but when I watched the behind the scenes I then found out it took him like over 500 attempts, IIRC, might be way more, but a lot.

[@chrismillsmtb6026]

My favorite Fat Bike Channel!! Nice one Al up the fatties 👍

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Chris :)

[@Bicycle_Fungi]

Incredible riding, beautiful lines. Worth all the brambles wounds. Loving the fat bike content (even though I’ve never ridden a fatbike? It is just great to watch for some reason). Thanks Ali.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

This is awesome, always love hearing it when people love the content despite not taking part in the activity themselves...means I've done it right :)

[@OnlyShrimps666]

Outdone yourself even again! Nice work Ali, I'm so stoked for ya

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Eric :D

[@shannonwade9933]

Fantastic! Your digging deep and it’s paying off dude. Watched this 5 times!

[@john2wheels860]

Yeah Ali! Thanks for the BTS of the edit. Glad to see the fatty back and that you're having so much fun on it.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Cheers John :)

cheers Jake!

[@OldManFatBike]

So happy to see you haven't gotten bored with the Fat Bike! Great edit and awesome skills! Stay brave and safe Ali!!

[@SmuutijsLV]

This video just inspires me and proves to me that trials can be done basically anywhere! Wanna try that out! Cheers!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

that's the best thing about trials, you can do it anywhere on almost any bike!

[@fightersmurf]

what an awesome video. That bike would also be a great addition to the drop n roll shows.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

oooft doing the 12ft drop would be pretty horrible...if I could even get up to it lol

[@ramskrall]

Ali you are amazing it’s always interesting to see how you can ride the things you do and I’m loving the hardcore fat bike trial’s riding it’s a true inspiration 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Ali_Clarkson]

thanks, much appreciated :)

[@olrenison]

What an a-tree-vement! 👌

[@Ali_Clarkson]

I see what you did there!

[@grahamleach9639]

Trials on fat bike, must be an April Fool? Nope just more brilliant riding from Ali. Love Cathkin much trail envy.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Graham!

[@thomasandrews8033]

Outstanding rider, thanks for representing fat bikes so well!

[@Adileigh23]

Congratulations on successfully conquering your dream line. You are amazing. These videos inspire me.

[@stuartmcnamara9610]

It is great to see such fine riding on a nice basic fatbike. Very inspirational, thank you!

[@mrshaneyt43]

This really was a fantastic video Ali and I’m always so amazed by your riding . Oh and the new language you made when falling in the brambles was brilliant 😂

[@Ali_Clarkson]

welcome to my panic noises lol!

[@wrench_n_ride8159]

awesome display of skill and nerves. 👍

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks very much :)

[@GTijoN]

Absolutely amazing riding and unbelievable commitment. Well done Ali 👍🏼

[@lowandslowga]

That last line was absolutely brilliant man! So much trust in your grip and the tree holding together. Well done buddy!

[@ashleytombs]

I would like to thank mother nature for making this video possible lol Ail is like Danny such a perfectionist apart from Ali does 100 try’s and get it where as Danny has 1000 of try’s and gets it lol Another epic video BRO

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Danny's usually trying something pretty wild though to be fair :P

[@ashleytombs]

You’re not wrong Danny and Fabio are just the best in the world at what they do amount of tries they do for each stunt they do is ridiculous I still don’t know how Fabio didn’t snap his ankle in Lyon Dannys Industrial revolution still amazes me after all these years

[@GaryWoods-stunts4life]

Thoroughly enjoyed that thanks 👌

[@Kohlwheelz]

Dream Video for Friday👏🏽😋

[@Karl_Kampfwagen]

Someone stole my Titanium framed 26x5" fatbike (Motobecane Sturgis Bullet Ti), so I built a Framed Minnesota 2.0 by hand with a 120mm wide Bottom Bracket and oversized cartridge bearing headset. The BMX riders that I allowed to test it at the skatepark were all in utter awe of the control, grip, and cushion of the tires, even at only 20psi. Motobecane pre-built= $2600 Framed hand built = $1000 And I accomplished this during 2021, when bike shops were saying they couldn't get stuff. It's officially 14 months old, and hasn't been to the repair shop even once, yet. 🤓 It was awesome to see you ride a proper "big boy" bike trials style 🤘

[@intruder_ua]

This is incredibly cool! I am in awe of your tricks. 🤯😲👍

[@markhurst7755]

Yes, I saw the tires skidding and gripping. Such a great finally to a quite stressful video to watch. You are very brave as well as skilled. Do you make it look easy? I think your subscribers understand the skill it takes to ride man made skinny’s let alone natural ones high off the ground and covered in moss. Incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@thebiggerbyte5991]

Fabulous stuff. I don't know about making it look easy, but you do make the seemingly impossible possible. A joy to watch, and to shake my head in wonder :)

[@leonbond9275]

Awesome stuff, Ali. Enjoyed that a lot!!

Amazing. When I see this stuff, I think of spiders jumping around so fast it seems like teleportation.

[@BCmtb]

Hey Ali I’ve been inspired by your videos to start trials riding. I’m coming from mountain biking so I’m looking for a bike that will have a similar feel. I was looking at the inspired hex but I would love your opinion on a good bike to transition between the two disciplines. Loving the content

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Basically any small MTB with good brakes and appropriate gear ratio will be fine...a modified DJ bike is a good start and I'll be making a video somewhat related to this soon

[@avasquezcano]

@@Ali_Clarkson which modifications can I do to my dj bike? I want to learn some street trial but in my country I can’t find any bike like fourplay or a hex. I have an GW Raven, if you search it at google you can see it frame, it’s basically an dj bike, with 68,5 grades of HT angle and a short chainstay. It height like 2.2 kg and only in size S. Sorry about my English

[@avasquezcano]

@@Ali_Clarkson and which are an appropriate gear ratio? I have 30T in front, in a shimano deore 5100 cranks

Nice tree-lines bruh! Never thought I'd say that.

[@luizcarvalho4245]

6:04 how did u jump and kept the rear so high up? Btw that line was amazing dude

[@Ali_Clarkson]

the tyre had a lot of bounce plus if you use your body weight enough to can make the bike do almost anything :)

[@luizcarvalho4245]

@@Ali_Clarkson As Seth said in the Sea Otter video "that's messed up dude" LOL. Also does the fat bike feels more like a hard tail or a short travel sus bike when landing bigger drops due to the massive tires?

Great Vid! Great shots on the fallen trees!! Great achievement the last tree!!! Putting all the bike lines in a row with music would also be great, i think ;) Dont get me wrong, English is not my language, loved the video and the comments and everything :) Just an other idea ;)

Really, really making me want the snow around 'my trees' to melt so I can ride them. Stick to urban ffs until it's warmer! JK, this is immediately one of my favorite AC videos and the previous edit, among my favorite YT vids ever, after anything involving funny cats.

[@danyarchambault7121]

Hey... forget the melting and go with the snow... huh.... flow. Seriously try it also on flat ice... it's incredible the fear for first slides and fall then the the joy realising low presure just makes it smooth and quite easy! Canadian styling habit I guess hehehe! Don't wait! Having know before I would have kept my bike in the truck all winter and bought new winter gloves! Fun, fun and crazy fun... plus the scare leading to more fun!

Also how are the qr wheels doing? Any flex? On my mtbtrials bike my wheels flex so much. Any fixes?

[@Ali_Clarkson]

I was worried about having QR wheels but they've actually been fine...can't notice too much flex as the tyres themselves have so much movement it far outweighs anything I'd be able to feel with the QRs themselves

Hello brother i have question that is , can a 6.2 feet person ride a 26 inch fat bike i mean it would be comfortable table or not please answer.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

You absolutely can, they’re just like normal bikes I guess…find a frame size that fits and it’ll be spot on. The 26” wheels are more like 27.5 or 29” at the outer circumference with the big tyres which is why they still use 26” rim diameter
