Not my video, but I don't think Tin is on here so I'm sharing on his behalf. Fun video from this past Sunday's mostly singletrack ride in Connecticut on his new Susie.

Thanks Justin for the video :-)
Would you know what handlebars he used for his Susie?

I may disagree on the bars. I believe they are the upcoming Ultraromance x Crust super wide bars. No release date that I know of

The bars are a Tosco-like Crust-Ronsbikes-Ultraromance prototype. I was told they should be available via Crust in May.... will be made in Taiwan, not by Nitto.

I believe the working title for these bars is Uncle Ron's Orthopedic Back Bars. Video here. Also some pics scattered around Ron's site of them mounted on a Sam.

I dig the Crust riding videos. Some skilled riders and looks like they're having a great time.
The bars look pretty similar to some customs I just got in from Doom bars in Albuquerque. My buddy sent me video of the Crust orthopedic prototype bars a couple of days after I put in an order for these. I guess I'm ever so slightly ahead of the curve. My idea was a wider version of an Albatross with no forward sweep to accommodate the long top tube of the Susie frame. These ended up about 66cm wide center to center with a 2 inch rise. Two full grip positions. I'm loving the bars so far.
