Thanks for the video guys, I've started watching all your uploads and sometimes my wife watches with me. There's two whole angles to these pat and hannah vids and they both appeal to me, theres the technical instruction and explanations of the riding which is awesome. Then there's watching the journey of a woman who's joining her husband (a pro level mototrials champ) in a passion of his own. It's so nice to see that hannah is really enjoying learning new skills and also nice to see a couple outdoors spending time together doing something fun. God bless you both.
Pat, So many great tricks performed by Hannah and you, but the one that takes the cake for determination and strive for perfection was the one you tasked yourself with (because you doubted you could do it) to reward Hannah for her challenge commitments: 10:28 "The Footjam Whip to Megadrop"!! Thanks to both of you for keeping me entertained and inspired! Even though Hannah is no match for you, she can still kick my ass! I like the spousal role play she takes by specifying your chores & challenges ;-)
Thanks, glad you liked it! I have been working on footjam whips for so long, can’t seem to figure out how to get them consistent. Someday I’ll get them down better...
Hey Pat, I love how you used the ICGL (International Chain Gouge Length) to show Hanna her rear wheel hop progression over the larger log!! Keep on Keeping on :-)
Loving your videos. Seeing you get it no matter what kind of bike is really cool. Also seeing you and your wife sessioning together is nice as opposed to some of the "flare" out there.
Hey Pat Smage and Hanna Smage! What you are doing is impossible! Haven't you heard the naysayers tell you that fat tires are too big and heavy to do trials riding???? Thanks for following the laws of physics instead of the laws of skeptics! Ride ride ride!
Thanks for watching! Some stuff is actually easier on the fatbike surprisingly, it’s all about learning how to make the most of how a bike works. Fun to try to figure out!

Just a bonus really since her normal balance is pretty good but hopping in and out of balancing is what she was working on improving more. Never a bad thing to practice!
Derek Coates it’s a good option to have and does change the bikes feel quite a bit. Definitely noticeable weight savings especially on climbs. She is running 27.5+ on the front and rear right now and likes it. I think Fatback has a lighter set than these wtb ones that I have thought about upgrading to but these do the trick for now.

TRAPSQUAD good to hear! More coming with both of us. Married 2.5 years and together for almost 12! I can’t remember when she started but it was not until at least a few years in.
