utahpete Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 We in the US have very little to celebrate these days, but Pat Smage always brings a smile to my face. Making Fat Bikes cool. See BMX bicycle training for 2018 Trials Season for further evidence of the beneficial results from getting off your moto trials bike once in awhile! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCH Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Fat bikes are definitely cool. I love mine. I don't wear my motorbike helmet on it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I dont think it can be underestimated how difficult living in another country where you dont understand the languages or the culture, i just wouldve liked to see him do a full season. But up close he never looked like he was really enjoying it despite some decent results. Hes certainly carved out a niche riding in the usa regardless. It kinda puts into perspective how much committment Bernie had when everything was way more difficult. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahpete Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 10-time US trials champion Pat Smage giving his all in Europe. Good reminder of just how good the boys from the "continent" are. Nice to hear how humble he is, but wow, what a brave young man he is to even show up! Great job Pat. https://youtu.be/fDOtelRNhUc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Got to give the guy a round of applause for the effort he made just to compete. Great to see, outdoor championships would benefit from his presence 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
