They're gonna be selling a lot of those ****ty fatbikes. Maybe walmart paid that guy to train full time leading up to the race. 
I notice he put some canti-levers on the front. I wonder if he made the rear a freewheel or if it still had pedal brakes.

It's not the bike, it's the engine.

What a comment, Beastly calmed his fans down by saying, hey, let's go to the log pull! Gotta beware of them Northwestern dudes!

Still kicking.
Nope, part time and they probably stopped him mid training ride in order to restock the toilet paper.

That is pretty funny.
I had a friend that used to do the same thing at off-road motorcycle races. He was paid by Honda to race down in the Score series down in Mexico (Baja 250; 500 and 1000), so his skills were TOP NOTCH.
He used to show up at local races with an open face helmet; flannel shirt; Levi's; leather gloves; and some of those gnarley teeth, while sitting on a mid 80's Honda XL 185. Gate would drop, and he would be giving up a lot of ground on the hills and straights, but getting everything back in the tight corners.
Another time, he showed up at the riders meeting all decked out in pink gear, huge "falsies", some blonde hair flowing out the back; and mirrorred goggles on. On the back of his jersey, it said something like "Helga, USSR off-road Champion", or something like that. After the riders meeting, he shows up on the line with some choice female product emblems taped to his bike.
Gate drops, and he is out with the top 3, and everybody is freaking out.
Funny stuff....

Even Adam Craig couldn't dominate on that bike... and no one else is reporting on it.
Therefore this is just a piece of satire, in response to the excessive attention this bike is getting. OMGWTFBBQ

It's definitely Adam Craig. He rode an Anthem X 29er in the race, this fat bike footage must have been practice sessions.
