Tree Lines : Fat Bike Trials

Four years ago I came to these woods at Cathkin Braes just south of Glasgow and scouted lines for an edit I wanted to make. Sadly due to very limited conditions needed to have dry enough logs and my vlog schedule I put the project onto the back burner.
Then the fat bike came along and I realised the extra grip would be a huge advantage on some of these slippery lines and the extra width could make riding skinnies a little easier...turns out I was right!
Don't get me wrong though, these lines were TOUGH! I try to do minimal correction hops to be as smooth as possible but this can give the illusion that these lines were easy or not that big... check out my wobbly knees in a few clips to get a true indication of how I was feeling!
In the end, after a 4 year wait it only took two days of riding to complete. These were lines I saw when I shut my eyes and every time I went to Cathkin and I never thought I would be eventually doing them on a fat bike!
As mentioned in the video, this is presented by Light Bicycle carbon rims and I have been using their 26er Drift rims (85mm outer) on this bike with no issues.
If you'd like to know more about these rims or others in their range then please check them out with this link https:bit.ly/lightbicycle_ac

I'll have a vlog out shortly explaining more about these lines and some of the bloopers I had along the way.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! I see my mauled legs are getting a lot of attention…surprisingly that wasn’t from my pedals but instead it’s hours and hours of riding off piste and getting stealth brambles caught on my legs, those things are so sharp and would just shred me…very annoying! Also people asking about my fork, I do have a vlog coming from this video where I’ll explain all. Cheers!

@Danny_MacAskill 2 года назад

That was excellent Ali!! Some really cool lines in there with a lot of trust in rotten mossy bark! Loved the music choice to! 👌

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thanks Danny, means a lot coming from the master of edits! 🤘🏻

@m00se_69 2 года назад

Absolutely epic! Loving the fat bike trials

@oppossumX 2 года назад

Who needs trails when you've got trials. Sick edit, I am loving the unconventional bike setup.

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Anything a trail to a trials rider 😂

@Dadventures1190 2 года назад

Ali, we’ll done. The time and effort put into setting up and moving of cameras, incorporating the drone footage, and selecting the music to maintain the vibe you’re looking to establish, are all impressive. That is before the riding even enters the picture. Inch-perfect when ‘on’ and decidedly human in other shots. You’ve always been good about showing that trials is hard, and that to make it look effortless takes years of dedication and commitment… and even so, it doesn’t always go to plan. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Keep the vision fresh.

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thanks very much! It’s nice to know the efforts appreciated 😁

@Teeafit 2 года назад

Well, Ali, I didn’t think that was you alone doing a 3-camera shoot... I thought you’d got a crew in, paid for by your sponsors. That was superb (and I’ve had 4+ decades working in professional video!) I bow to your skill on and off the bike. UNCLE G.

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

maybe next time :P Glad you liked it though!

@petermcinnes6987 2 года назад

Super impressed Ali. The balance of music and trail sounds; the drone shots to segue between spots; but mostly, the satisfaction of seeing something as incongruous as a fattie riding along shooglie branches. That was ace!

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thanks very much Peter!

@HeadwatersKayak 2 года назад

My favorite Ali video yet! So stoked to see you ripping on the fat bike.

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thank you :)

@baconfister 2 года назад

Proper video! As a former pro/open singlespeed racer for two and a half seasons, my entry was a fully rigid 11.78kg fatbike with a 30x19 ratio. I won the series in 2017. Seeing your video-although my XC racing did not involve any trials specific skills-brings me back. Without a doubt, tubeless FBR/FBF Minions for the winion on 65mm wide carbon tubeless rims. Yet Mr. Clarkson, you take it to a whole new level. Mere mortals are dumbfounded when you slay the trials skills on the proverbial ugly redheaded stepchild, the fat bike. Your skill and determination are always inspiring.

@HakunaMatataAquatics 2 года назад

It’s one of my life goals to get as close as I can to emulating your skill and grace. You motivate me by seeing what can be done. I don’t think I’ll ever be riding moss covered trees, but if I do, I’ll have you to thank.

@melwalshmtb9121 2 года назад

Man this was quite possibly the best edit I've seen in a while. Exquisite riding, filming and editing all round. Well done Ali!

@user-kb7ij6ye8u 2 года назад

actually insane. the coolest trials edit so far this year TBH

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thanks very much Mr Mibson!

@Johnson-el9zs 2 года назад

Epic video! Can really feel the Chris Akrigg influence, great work making such an engaging edit when you are solo filming and riding. More of this type of content please!

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thanks very much! I’ll try my best but this style of video isn’t always possible solo with just a few days…the stars aligned this week

@maxwelllong3308 2 года назад

Absolutely love your content, Ali. Super refreshing to see edits from someone that rides at such a high level, but makes use of terrain that many of us have access to. Much more relatable and refreshing than watching insane bike park edits and such over and over, because I can ride down the street and have something to practice on with inspiration from your videos. Keep it up! The fat bike and full suspension trail bike content has been awesome…

@smudek1 2 года назад

That's Insane Ali! So many big, slippery, and scary stuff. I love it!!!

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Glad to hear it 😁

@mrhoppe 2 года назад

Fantastic edit Ali, still loving the incongruity of a fat bike doing that

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Haha yeah I never thought I’d be doing these on a fat bike when I first scouted them 😂

@AntiDEDok 2 года назад

Wooooow! That man is always improving what I thought was humanly possible on 2 wheels. Just a legend!

@AndySimpson1969 2 года назад

You're bloody fearless! Great video, good music...just wow, I'll never look at a tree the same again!

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thanks Andy!

@maihranamn9145 2 года назад

Riding trial in a natural environement with a fat bike without some safety stuff as knee pads or gloves is just crazy af. This vid really shows that you are damn skilled. Love it!

@cypri1101 2 года назад

This for sure one of the most beautiful non-street ride edit. This is just insane. As I said on the previous video you are the most stylish and technical rider i know. You're also so committed !🥵👊 Everything's insane so congrats and thanks again for making these edits.

@cypri1101 2 года назад

(I'll share this edit to anyone I can reach)

@cyp55 2 года назад

🔝🔝🔝 I would also say that the self filming is impressive as much as the fat bike riding👊 you did an amazing job out there 🤠

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

@@cyp55 Thanks very much!

@davidackland441 2 года назад

man big reminders of chris akriggs riding & videos - the music choice, self filmed style and of course the level of riding is amazing. really enjoyed it

@drewguttormson9368 2 года назад

I thought..."cool, another Ali blog" . Within the first 30 seconds I was pumped & blown away. Top notch video, Ali ! Love the editing, lines + music. So good. Thank you for filming and editing.

@elvislad 2 года назад

Awesome,very good mate. That side hop to wobbly tree was sick

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thank you! I’m a fan of that line too!

@marcelfaltervidal845 2 года назад

I've been following your channel recently and haven't found this style of video on your channel so far. It was really motivating and exciting to watch. It's refreshing to watch a video that is not story driven every once in while. Amazing skills. Keep up the good stuff!

@AndySimpson1969 2 года назад

100% agree!

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

I have a couple of edits but usually it’s too hard to make something like this in a week and vlog style is much more practical for solo production but sometimes stars align and an edit is born :)

@grahamleach9639 2 года назад

Seriously underrated RU-vidr! I never comment on videos but felt compelled after watching this amazing edit. Your normal videos are great, but this is next level. Well done Ali!

@VX220ontrack 2 года назад

🤯 you make that look so easy…. Yet in my head that looks extremely difficult. Leaves me a little confused… 😂 Want a fat bike now 😀

@mikehickman7434 2 года назад

@aaron.biketrials 2 года назад

Nice see the original forks back on the bike. Getting Chris Akrigg vibes from this. Some awesome looking line choices Ali!

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Thanks very much Aaron 👍🏻

@SaintVes 2 года назад

Ali, this was insanely good! The video production is not on super high level, but, who needs it, while I still can see how beautiful these lines are! 👍

@OVER-bENGINEERED 4 месяца назад

Bike and video skills are superb. Thanks I needed this. Crashed my fat bike a few times riding MTB trails and was starting to consider friends comments that fat bike is too bouncy and causing me to crash. I’d like to get into trials because it seems like full mastery of balance on your machine.

@Reddingadventurehub 2 года назад

Fat Bikes unlock a whole other style. So pumped to see you take it to another level Props!

@coolcycles 2 года назад

Sitting here with big eyes and grin. That was awesome! I like these Yoda cuts, when there is no try. Very good idea to show each tree first - giving a noment for evaluation - and then what can be done with it.

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

I'm glad you liked my foreshadowing :D

@alexanderguthier1825 2 года назад

Amazing! In my believe definitly one of your top 3 videos. So much dynamics with that fat bike. Looks a bit like a game changer.

@NatCurrier 2 года назад

Love it, fat trials is a massive amount of fun. I have never even ridden my fatty in the snow. Awesome to see you riding a fat bike.

@ShadLife 2 года назад

Some of that stuff was pretty nutty! Total bike control and trust during some of these moves. I just did a video about learning some of the trials basics. During that video I talked about how important having the rear wheel hop dialed for more advanced trials moves........and yeah, this video shows how important that is. I sure would like to see a tutorial on how to get into the rear wheel hop without starting with a little front wheel endo. This is awesome Ali!!! Nice work!

@jameszibura 2 года назад

Sick edit Ali! As a trail rider, I appreciate the natural terrain and your line choice. Cant wait for the snow to melt so I can try and teach myself trials riding! I do enjoy the usual asmr bike builds/ trials sessions. However this is a welcome departure. Cheers!

@Kefir0 2 года назад

So good!! Tree lines are my favourite! Especially when combined with some rocks. Nature trials at its finest. Wish there was some of that stuff near me.

@Ali_Clarkson 2 года назад

Tree stuff is my favorite to ride too 😁

@edstorey4675 2 года назад

Exceeds your best ! The editing, sound n ruthenium and riding- to’ e invented a new thing- I want a fat bike ! Was thrilled on that first stump ! Great video

Awesome, loving the On One Fatty. Wish I had a fraction of your skills, so many trees blown over in my local woods trails are un rideable in places. Would love to ride over stuff like you do. Another great video. Keep them coming 👍🤟

@davidportej 2 года назад

that is so cool! you often mentioned that your balance (along rails) isn't that good but then you release a banger of a video where your balance is next level and the terrain is even harder and cooler than just some straight rails :D

@joshwells4629 2 года назад

@rob1984p 2 года назад

Exponentially more excellent than normal Ali! The style and music has reminded me to rewatch some of Chris Akrigg / Victor foto makers fantastic videos from a few years ago. I couldn't give a flying duck about fat bikes but have loved what you have been able to create from having one.
