Great page!

[UnikWarior]

no weather can stop biking !!!!!!!!!!

[boazclark]

Just for fun ... to right mate!!!!

[TrueGoth1]

Has anybody tried this at night, you dont need lights, the snow creates enough to see, best done on your own late at night. All you can hear is nature and of course the bike going thru the snow. Surrrrrreal..!!!

@TrueGoth1

jep tried it!

super funny :D

but in the forest i sometimes missed the actual trail ;)

[drbroccoli]

I really want to do this here in Colorado. Did you use studded tires?

[emericstonedangelz]

@drbroccoli Maxxis Wetscream, 2 bars pressure insinde.

[drbroccoli]

@emericstonedangelz That's such good news. I have maxxis swampthings, which are quite similar. I used to be dreaded the winter as the end of mtb season, but now it seems like a new beginning. Have you ever tried doing anything more technical? Like narrow trails with rock gardens? That's more of what I have here.

Thanks!

[emericstonedangelz]

@drbroccoli well i rode my rmx down a mountain slope at night without lights and knowing the slope down to the valley, i was still faster than my friends on snowboards. the bike had good grip, except icy parts, i just crashed 3 times. the wetscreams did a got job in corners, fast straight line, even bumpy sections with soft snow.

Let's try rock and roots this winter and chat about this, ok? ;) i want to try how the Intense intruder tires does with its "cold" sticky rubber.

[drbroccoli]

@emericstonedangelz Would you say that a long travel bike is necessary? I'll be riding a 120mm hardtail. I'm normally good a working the bike on sketchy terrain, but I'm concerned that something concealed by snow will catch me off guard, not that falling will be a big deal. I talked to some guys at the bike shop and they say my tires are amazing in snow.

If you go fast enough do you glide over powder?

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

[uunit08]

smooth?

[britishballa95]

That looks so sweet, deffinitly unique and fun. Maybe not practical

[burtonmozart]

you are so stupid

take a snowboard more faster more fun more style more confort more wave of snow

[emericstonedangelz]

@burtonmozart

Well i love biking! snowboard is cool too! But biking on snow is different, accept what people enjoy.

I remember some videos of peoples "snowboarding" on sand, on dunes... and i find this really cool, i don't say they are stupid at all ! Try to understand the research of new experiences, sensations...

Cheers.

Emeric.

@burtonmozart

By the way, Mountain bike world speed record on snow is 210,4 Km/h or 130,74 Mh/h!

Can you find better with a snowboard?

[6dood6]

@burtonmozart maybe he dosent like snowbaording? cos i certainly dont! i would much rather ride in the snow on a mountain bike than a shitty piece of wood.

[drbroccoli]

@burtonmozart Even if this were entirely true, it doens't matter. Some people find the idea of biking in snow to be fun. Others would prefer to ski. Or snowboard. Or simply walk.

[scrase1234]

what kind of bike is that

[andymeadows9]

@scrase1234 i think its and ancciolotti, nice hand built italian bikes, notsure on spelling though

[emericstonedangelz]

@andymeadows9

[Kimberlina18]

I love snow riding,cool vid and 9.6 on the dive

[jasada09]

snow riding is a lot of fun

[Scottsoflangholm]

Im looking for snow spiked tyres as I have two wheels where as my friends are looking for either winter tyres or snow chains here in the UK Enjoy the snow!

[TheJeepWheeler]

for snow chains on bike tires, just use thin yellow nylon rope, and wrap it in and out of each spoke all aorund the tire, it works wonders

[yellowcrossin]

amazing endin keep up the vids =)

[astaschak]

[ImSakura]

For some reason this video has calmed me down. I miss the snow though =|

but i cracked up in the end lol it was funny

[madmikeaut]

Oh Yea!

snow + bike = fun!

we should ride one times together!

greatz!

[emericstonedangelz]

yeah sure, where are you living?

[mentospounds]

Your tyres have to be thicker than you have got them.

[emericstonedangelz]

I've tryed before with Nokian Gazza 3" and it's not so bad but when the snow is deep like in the beguinning of the video, the result is the same. Finally, the Maxxis Wetscream with low pressure (1,2 bar) got much better grip on compact and hard snow due to their agressiv deep profil, they just dig in the snow. Great grip and breaking power on the last turns. Thanks. :)

[smileUsuck]

wow that looks fun

[Climberson]

veryvery nice:)!

[xd95]

[seekdestroy16]
