Webs would be cool on a fat bike...
Didn't do that, but did White School and all the side trails on the north end of it, also Kitchel, which is a heap of fun.
I enjoy your fatbike exploits.
Kitchel on a fatbike? That sounds tons of fun
How about knight slayer? Little bit of snow on the ground would make for some softer crashes.Kitchel on a fatbike? That sounds tons of fun
I still don't get fat bikes.
for me it ranks along with telemark skiing....I mean...you CAN do it....but I don't see how it would be enjoyable.

No one asked you to get fatbikes. Do what floats your boat.
You don't know that NO-ONE asked me to.
Fat Bikes are awesome because you don't get them.
I did one weekend last winter @ Kingdom on the snow bike. Ridge -> Rim -> East Branch was awesome on snow. Pines ran great as well.
I can't imagine Pines ever NOT being great.
I want a fat bike! How's the Moonlander? Would you recommend to others? I'm thinking about the Specialized Fatboy.
I will Say Kitchell was very interesting on it. and it wasn't too bad climbing up Herbs , I just felt too bouncy on it .
We'd try anything once 
I ride a fat bike most days, they are good for super happy fun riding.
I put a couple of Kona "Wo's" into my rental fleet the other week, before I did however I dumped the bars and mech brakes for shimano hydros and DMR wingbars.
Took one out for a blast on thew local trails, insanely fun bouncing all over the show coming thru various rock gardens!
Most entertaining and fun ride I done in years.

Absolutely. You and your bro should just walk away. Nothing to see here.
DaveW: I kept the mechs on the Moonlander, put an 8" rotor on front, swapped to Deity bars and another stem...
Yeah thinking about upping the rotor size too as still pretty underpowered for the tracks these things will be taken down.
reminds me of riding a fat chick..
Riding a fatbike on wide open flat Nordic trails is like riding a normal bike in the summer on roads or wide doubletrack flat trails. You don't get a fatbike to do that, unless you are using it to sub for a road bike. You get a fat bike to ride ups and downs through the trees on packed snow single track that is a foot or two wide. Lots of fun coming down a bermed/banked trail of packed snow, and the ride is transformed in the winter, as the rigid fatbike does not beat you up or react like a rigid bike in the summertime. Lots of people get them in the summer thinking that throw pressure will be like suspension, and they are disappointed that it is mostly like a rigid bike with real heavy wheels, but they come alive in winter.
happy birthday mMike! i got you a fat bike. i hope you like it.
It is not Mmikes Birthday. He deserves nothing even if it was his birthday. And it's not.
