  • This video goes into details about the one thing you don't want to do when doing a Fakie. I also cover a tip that I discovered to make Fakies easier if you're just learning how to Fakie.

    Jeez Jens, I'm always telling you to "stay fat", not swollen!!
    LOL.
    As always, thx for sharing the mishaps as well as the sucesses.
    You are an inspiration.
    Every time I hop on the WO, I always think of OMFB!!!!
    STAY FAT MY FRIEND.

    Old Man Fat Bike can not be stopped. OMFB is the Terminator of fat biking. Keep on rocking you are the man.

    Glad you didn't do more serious damage to yourself, Jens. Cracking and breaking ribs is how I learned to sleep in a recliner. I hope the recovery process continues to go well for you.

    • @OldManFatBike
      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Thank you, @khwolter9038! Yes, I consider myself very lucky. So for the healing process is going much better than expected!! Thanks for commenting and I do appreciate you!!!

    That sux, Jens! Glad you're ok. A lesson I learned many moons ago, is that once you get into your 40's, you don't bounce anymore! Broken clavicle and 6 broken ribs after a 30 mph header taught me hat ? Did I learn? Heck no! At 65 I'm still doing stupid stuff (but with a bit more caution!).

    • @OldManFatBike
      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you, Karl for commenting on this video! Live and learn is what we all do!! Keep on doing stupid stuff as long as you can because there will be a day when you can no longer do that, on a bike at least. Stay cautious and well @karlintucson 😉😎

    Oh, man! I've broken a few ribs myself back in the day and unless things have changed there isn't a lot they can do for it. The doctor didn't even wrap my chest because he said it would just make me more uncomfortable. Take care my friend. ✌

    • @OldManFatBike
      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hey Tony, nothing has changed from when you broke your ribs. They didn't do anything other than tell me all the things I couldn't. I think that was the worst part about this whole injury!! I hope you had a great Easter @BluecollarBackcountry!! 🩵🙌

    The key to Fakie is pedaling backwards til you’re ready to roll out

      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci +1

    Them old bones don't heal as fast as they used to do they?. 🤕

    • @OldManFatBike
      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci

      Hey there, Jim! As always I appreciate your comments!! You are correct, these old bones don't heal quickly at all. I'm happy to report as of right now I'm not seeing any long term issues from the accident. 🙌😊

    @stevekorth8476 Před 3 měsíci

    Hey Jens
    I know that. I also fell on my bike a lot. It's important to get up and keep going. It's terrible that you injured yourself so badly durning this attempt. I hope you don't any physical problems because of it.
    Bike on 🤘😎😁

    • @OldManFatBike
      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Hey Steve!! As far as I can tell I'm not going to have any physical problems related to this accident. I feel as if I'm fully recovered now. Thank you for your kind comments @stevekorth8476!

      I always do my best to stay safe @fatbikedutch! Sometimes things don't go as planned. A helmet is the #1 thing on my biking safety list!!

    You’re very lucky you are still able to walk and ride, did your wife give you hell when you told her?

      Yes Jeff, I consider myself very lucky!! Things could have been much worse for me. My wife wasn't thrilled to learn about my injuries. Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate you taking the time to comment on this video @jeffhulett4194 😊✌️

    • @OldManFatBike
      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci

      Hi Richard! What makes you think I'm trying to sue anyone for my accident? I'm just curious @richardtodd6559. The purpose of this video is to share my experiences with others.

    Are you okay now?

    • @OldManFatBike
      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci +1

      That's the same thing I thought when I was rolling around on the concrete, Tim! My helmet has protected me multiple time and I never ride without one!! I'm doing much better now and looking forward to getting out there and making some more fun videos! Stay well @fatride and I'll try to do the same thing 🙌😎

      @OldManFatBike  Před 3 měsíci

      I know, right! I really need to start setting up the camera no matter what I'm doing. Sometimes I forget how quickly accidents happen. You just never know when something is going to go south!! Take care and enjoy the ride @FATBIKEskinnylegs!! ✌️😊🍻
