Fat Bikes On Parade

Finishing 2022 off out on the singletrack at the Mariposa Fat Bike Trails. The crew is so fun to ride with. Thanks for making an excellent year. Here’s to many more. If you didn’t get the chance to ride with us this year, let’s change that for 2023. See you all on the trails.
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.

That looks like fat bike heaven right there - me and my Surly Wednesday approve of this video. Nicely filmed, great music choices, new sub.

Thanks for the new years stoke, the fun of fat bikes, the beauty of nature, awesome!

[@OldManFatBike]

Wow, this was an entertaining video!! That first song "Strict Machine (We Are Glitter Goldfrapp Mix)" was spot on and it fit the vibe of this video perfectly! Thanks for another fine one!!!! 💓

[@valerijudt6190]

Euere Videos sind gut, weiter so 👍🏻. Wünsche euch viel Spaß ✌🏻

[@DD-xx8wh]

fatbikes! let's go..... anywhere!!

[@Dempsey222]

Looked like the crew had a really good time riding those trails.

[@kabloonieboonster7047]

Your videos just keep getting better. The larger group really emphasizes the curves of the arroyos.

[@srs_ryderz3005]

I love how you capture the beauty of nature! Thank you!

[@NewMexicoOutside]

We try our best to show how beautiful and unique our deserts are. Lots of tiny ecosystems within that are easy to miss.

[@BakedPotatoe135]

Cool footage

[@edwardje1977]

Unbelievable area and Trail.

[@39headshok]

Excellent video, happy new year with lots of fatbike rides

[@thunderdogproductions]

aawesome vid!!! you all coming to sedona for the festival in march? first weekend in march 2023, lets represent! last year there was only 2 fat bikes

[@NewMexicoOutside]

Unfortunately not. We have to work our regular jobs.

sweet vid m8

[@cleitimpazetto6261]

Que lugar toppp para essa modalidade.

[@GregOttersbach]

I came for the Goldfrapp Strict Machine

[@NewMexicoOutside]

Great sound 👍👍

[@Dempsey222]

You should have done a video in down the rabbit hole trail when it snowed. That would have been awesome.

[@NewMexicoOutside]

That would be cool. Maybe we’ll have a little more time to get further out into the desert next time.

[@longhornfatbike]

excellent video and music again ! It is only painfull to view it on large screen uhd tv in 360p resolution, why this ?

[@NewMexicoOutside]

I noticed that too. It should be at 4K now. KZbin has a delay so if you watched it right when it published it was still uploading/encoding. Go to your setting and select the highest quality. See if it’s better now.

[@longhornfatbike]

@@NewMexicoOutside you're right, I didn't realized this is fresh upload

[@NewMexicoOutside]

@@longhornfatbike You we’re probably one of the first few to watch it when KZbin was still doing its thing to it. Whatever that is.

[@TravelingThru222]

Awesome footage, looks like amazing riding. See you on the trail. Just subbed.

[@NewMexicoOutside]

Right on. Checking your page out now. Also subbed. 👍

[@TravelingThru222]

@@NewMexicoOutside Awesome, thank you. Happy New Year.

[@mitchellputukara1711]

❤❤❤❤❤ fatbike for life!

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

It’s on my wishlist to get some desert type riding in for 2023, sand has something I have largely missed out on here in Colorado. I also need to get one of these drone thingys!😂

[@Dempsey222]

New Mexico Outside should do a fan meet up ride in New Mexico. That would be cool because so many viewers want to ride there but don't want to do it alone due to the tough terrain and weather.

[@NewMexicoOutside]

@@Dempsey222 Mark on your calendar on the first Saturday of every December. Every year we do our global Fat Bike Day ride. Everyone is welcome to come ride with us. See you all then! We also try and do Saturday group rides all year long. Informal meet up at the Mariposa Fat Bike Trails in Rio Rancho NM. #Trailforks Meet In the parking area of the community center there. Inside is The Bean Cafe. We are usually getting coffee and breakfast before the ride.

[@Dempsey222]

@@NewMexicoOutside I am going to try and make it this December. Sounds like fun.

[@kevinkirby3158]

Headed your way for the balloon festival in October. Are ebikes allowed on these trails?

[@thomashendron4356]

Did one of the riders have an Ican full suspension in Bianchi green? Great video from drone and on trail

[@NewMexicoOutside]

Yes. That is an ICAN SNO4 in there.

[@911copcam]

The camera angles are excellent but the sound is too much...

[@OutdoorsExposed]

Very cool video! was it filmed with a DJI drone?

[@NewMexicoOutside]

On this one we used the #Skydio2

[@aerialsoul999]

What drone do you use? My Mavic 2 doesn’t seem to track as well. And my controller is not really handlebar compatible.

[@NewMexicoOutside]

For the drone work here it is the Skydio2. It has the best tracking that I am aware of. Others can chime in here on this. The Skydio2 has come out with a newer version with pop up antennas. This is the older version. It does really well here in the desert. Put it up in the air and you can forget it. Sometimes I wish there were voice commands to get it higher or closer of further out or at a different angle. That would be an awesome upgrade if that feature could be done. I try and do that on my iPhone screen and it gets sketchy when riding narrow trails.

[@aerialsoul999]

Thanks I’ll check it out. I have two Mavic 2’s, and a phantom 4 which I am trying to sell. Maybe I could look into the Skydio if it sells. Great shot though, I do enjoy your videos. Wish I had the room for a fattie but we are full timers in a fifth wheel and I already have 5 bikes. Lol

[@NewMexicoOutside]

@@aerialsoul999 There is always a way to make room for more bikes 🙂. Have fun out there on the trails.

Happy new new 👍

[@albertoscycles]

Looks like a fantastic place to ride. Question, the rider with the american flag helmet and blue shorts is wearing a red camo jersey, who makes that?

[@NewMexicoOutside]

The helmet: Troy Lee design A2 limited helmet. The camo winter jersey is from Bicycle Booth.

[@albertoscycles]

@@NewMexicoOutside Thank you

[@rasmusredfire2667]

Epic video ! How many are riding with carbon wheels and what about tire width….cheers

[@NewMexicoOutside]

Most have carbon wheels (85mm) and 4.6 to 4.8 X 26 inch wide tires is the norm.

[@NewMexicoOutside]

The wider tires help keep from damaging the soft Singletrack in the area.

[@rasmusredfire2667]

@@NewMexicoOutside amazing info big thanks happy trails from Scandinavia

[@tanksouth]

Does this bike make me look fat?

[@amjazzg]

I truly wanted to watch this vid , but the music got me dizzy 😢

[@NewMexicoOutside]

You can always mute it and put your own tunes on and watch it. 🤔

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Really. Ya actually gotta wear that lame bike clothing(not a question). Nylon/polyester hiking pants, hunting boots, a wool flannel shirt, a boonie hat, and most important: a cup protector if ya got oversized balls. It's how I been riding fat bikes for thirty-years.

[@NewMexicoOutside]

Wear whatever the heck you want. That is the beauty of a free country.
