There is zero chance that bike was ever 360'd in its lifetime, then Sam comes along. I love how Sam takes a bike that was literally on the brink of extinction and gives it the most incredible day of it's existence instead.
Sam you should organise a game of bike with some other good mountain bikers and everyone has to ride a bike they genuinely got for free, they can do basic maintenance, tyres, tubes, grips, fix but not replace brakes etc.
Best free bike challenge yet?!! Goes to show how its like 90% rider skill was absolutly ace to see that old school fully rigid mtb ridden hard and to its limits! Sam hitting almost all of the landings near perfect kept that bike alive. Makes me want to grab my old pub bike and try some of those moves that won't be nearly as easy as Sam makes them look.
I love how you have zero negative things to say about these free bikes, it also highlights the old, it's the rider not the bike, keep up the great vids
Keep it as retro looking as possible but strengthen it up! Want to see you do more on this, something about that old school geometry looks sick being sent over big stuff! Should be an 'old skool' category at Audi Nines 😂
That's the first one I think really held up apart from the tyre. Sam Pilgrim, showing everyone, it's not what you ride but how much fun you can have on anything you ride! Legend.
Sam you have gone and done it. I am 52 years old and love your channel. Because of you I am now getting my mountain bike into the shop for some repairs, then I am going to attempt some of the easier tricks you taught in one of your videos. I am also going to purchase an Ebike to expand my range. I live in the national forest and have almost endless areas to ride. Watching your videos makes me feel alive again. Thank you
I would love to see some more CHEAP bike challenges. Something like a Decathlon Rockrider. How much stuntage and epicness can these things take? Nobody better than Sam to find out.
THANK YOU SAM! For showing What You can do on a RIDGED BIKE! Except for Stairs,you don't NEED A Full Suspension Bike! I have a 25 yr. Old HARO Impass It's the DREAM 😄🤗☺ Nice Helmet too!😂😎
I think you've found your dream place Sam Fantastic free bike challenge, you sure know how to entertain Dude, cant wait till the next one! This one was EPIC!
Love that free bike content. I am a roady. But I gave a friend a bottle of schnaps and took his old MTB. Having fun of the road is a new, great eexperience! Jeep it comming Sam. You are living the dream man
Hear that Kiddos? Get a fully rigid bike and send it to your hearts desire! Try going to flat on that beast, I am curious what parts of you will feel it the most lol Great content as always man, thank you!
Excellent freebike challenge! Super fun and definitely inspirational to get out on the old bikes. Reminds me alot of my buddy's old fully rigid GT Avalanche from the late 90s. This also reminds me of something I think Hans Rey mentioned in one of his Q&As, responding to a question from a younger rider interested in getting into trials riding, he said the cheapest way to get into it was getting a used small or xs sized aluminum fully rigid v-brake mtb from the 90's, and learn how to ride trails on it before upgrading.
"Look how the rubber on the rear tire is dry rotted and about to explode. Let's replace the rear, but LEAVE THE FRONT???" That was the sketchiest part of the entire thing! Well, that and leaving the "impaler" ends on the bars when you're jumping 12 feet in the air, on a free bike, ON A ROTTED FRONT TIRE. That was fairly sketch too. :-)
The free bike challenges are my absolute favourite. Just such a good reminder that so what if you don’t have the best of this or that. Run what you brung and fkin SEND it!
The video proves a point, the Carrera was a high quality bike when it came out. There are a lot of bikes like that out there that were top of the food chain once that can be had for a song or for free. If you know what you're doing, you can still shred the hell out of them. Old don't mean crappy to the right rider and all that it takes to be the right rider is practice practice practice.
"The main thing you have to do on a bike is have fun" Thanks for the great advice Pilgs, my bike is now broken and I don't have to money to repair it. Had fun though.
Unbelievable what you can do with a 30? year old bike without suspension. Would expect it to break in two after the first jump. Love these free bike series, keep up the good work Sam.
Just stumbled across your channel today! You guys are too cool! Just great! I have a rigid Raleigh MTB from the mid 90's, bright orange color. Best bike I've ever had, so beautiful!! Greetings from Germany!!!
Vintage steel frame bike with those vintage Shimano parts and even cantilever brakes.. KEEP IT, Sam! Just ride it as-is, no need for any shocks or Maguras!
He's so good! Amazing charisma and skills! That 's absolutely fantastic how easy he looks whyle doing crazy stuff on that kind of a bikes. Actually, exactly that one is look pretty ok, i'd get one like this for comuting
Keep up the good work, Sam! Amazing and inspiring way to demonstrate how rad shit bikes can be moved around and how much it's actually about the rider, not the bike. 🤠🤙
@Triple Black Diamond MTB are you really trying to poach views for your channel off another person's video? I can tell you I'll purposely avoid your whole channel now.

dude i won downhill competition few weeks ago in hardtail class with old steel rigit bike similar to his but just wider bars and 1x10 gears
The Toy Story sequel I never knew I wanted
Easily the best series on TH-cam
That is really cool!
Or backflipped!
I like how when normal people salvage parts from old bikes for their new bikes, sam salvages parts from his new bikes to fix his old bikes
I would like to petition for a dump bike comp with pros
I was gonna say dumpfest, but sounds a bit dodgy 💩
Sam you should organise a game of bike with some other good mountain bikers and everyone has to ride a bike they genuinely got for free, they can do basic maintenance, tyres, tubes, grips, fix but not replace brakes etc.
he would beat everyone, he does flairs on racebikes....
Taking bikes from the dumps to the jumps! 🤜🤛
This would be great. Sam can judge since he'd surely win.
"It's terrifying. Let's just not think about it then" is the Sam Pilgrim Way
It’s crazy how good he is on this bike
Has there been a bike Sam wasn't been able to ride? :D
@@anllvr not sure mate 🤔
*every bike
@@rowannadon7668 yeah I found the tall bike video a while the most impressive
@imjustlucas very true Sam is incredible
Sam sending is just what the doctor ordered.

Love his energy in every video😂😂
He is good on anything I swear it's incredible!!
😁🤙
I love how you have zero negative things to say about these free bikes, it also highlights the old, it's the rider not the bike, keep up the great vids
I completely underestimated the capabilities of those 90s Ridgid frame mountain bikes. Nice work, Sam.
Sam always makes me smile by just being pumped and enjoying life! 👌🏻
Ya gotta appreciate this man’s thirst for thrills.
Keep it as retro looking as possible but strengthen it up! Want to see you do more on this, something about that old school geometry looks sick being sent over big stuff! Should be an 'old skool' category at Audi Nines 😂
OMG me and my son just coughed up a lung laughing to “hornnnn it!…HORNNN IT!!!!” 😂
That train guy just wasn't having it... :(
That's the first one I think really held up apart from the tyre. Sam Pilgrim, showing everyone, it's not what you ride but how much fun you can have on anything you ride! Legend.
Aww that bike living out it's wildest dreams!

Sam your ability to ride anything with skill & steez is mind blowing!
Plus the pure joy you have for riding just made my Friday. Legend!
🙌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽👊🏽
These videos are perfect for helping to teach my kids that they don't need the best bike to be able to do cool stuff and, more importantly, have fun!
Love you channel Sam!!! One thing I'd love to see more of are reactions from local riders watching you being insane. Big love!
OMG THIS SPOT IS INSANE, you have to do some more stuff on more different bikes there please - THAT's SICK
I want to know where it is
Description bro xD
@@mikey2514684 Near Cambridge/Bury St Edmonds ish - 4h drive for me :(
@@thingswelike half an hour drive for me I've actually met him there they added alot of huge stuff
Sam's skills on a bike are ridiculous. But his ability to convey motivation is on another level! Thank you very much for another excellent video !!!
THANK YOU SAM! For showing
What You can do on a RIDGED
BIKE! Except for Stairs,you don't
NEED A Full Suspension Bike!
I have a 25 yr. Old HARO Impass
It's the DREAM 😄🤗☺
Nice Helmet too!😂😎
Yaaaaaaaay!!!! Free bike challenge is the best!! My favorite! Thank you Sam!!
keep the frame an forks but upgrade everything else. wheels, tires, handlebars, crankset... you get the idea. create the ultimate rigid bike.
Upgrade the frame and some colour 👌
Love how you still put in the train honk clip. So funny 😂
I love his videos! Every video of his is just him having the time of his life riding. It’s contagious and awesome to see these days!
I think you've found your dream place Sam Fantastic free bike challenge, you sure know how to entertain Dude, cant wait till the next one! This one was EPIC!
That 360 looks insane!! Absolute 🔥
Feel like I’m back in the…. Old days 😆
Early to mid 90’s for full rigid 😆✌🏽
Love that free bike content. I am a roady. But I gave a friend a bottle of schnaps and took his old MTB. Having fun of the road is a new, great eexperience! Jeep it comming Sam. You are living the dream man
That 360 was balls as fk i forsure thought he was going to taco the rim. THEN HE HIT THE BACK FLIP!?!?!?! So grateful for Sam.
Hear that Kiddos? Get a fully rigid bike and send it to your hearts desire! Try going to flat on that beast, I am curious what parts of you will feel it the most lol Great content as always man, thank you!
It's not the tool, it's how you use it!
Sam is BOSS LEVEL!
Thanks for sharing Sam!

That's proper old school, takes me back to when I first started riding.
Brilliant, put a smile on my face. Your excitement is infectious
OMG i've been waiting for those huge sends on freeb man!!! Best content on yt
I'm just impressed how quickly Lewie can run ahead to film
This just in: price of 26 inch retro mtb continue to skyrocket.
Sick video that train driver needs to cheers up tho. 🤣😂😂😂 “ horn it , HORN IT” 😂😂😂
Yes! I want to see you send it whilst holding those glorious bar end horns!! Maybe there's some new trick possibility with them haha
"Look how the rubber on the rear tire is dry rotted and about to explode. Let's replace the rear, but LEAVE THE FRONT???" That was the sketchiest part of the entire thing! Well, that and leaving the "impaler" ends on the bars when you're jumping 12 feet in the air, on a free bike, ON A ROTTED FRONT TIRE. That was fairly sketch too. :-)
Once again Sam thank you for all the laughs you have given me from this video on a ugly cold day as I sit and watch this at my office in Chicago.
Deck the bike out!
Sam, I love the energy! Such a positive reminder for everyone that it just takes practice to become who you want to be!
The free bike challenges are my absolute favourite. Just such a good reminder that so what if you don’t have the best of this or that. Run what you brung and fkin SEND it!
Nothing better than Sam shredding! Always look forward to his videos! Best TH-cam channel!
Total headcase!! Brilliant to watch!!
Epic Sam, just like you said, really inspiring for anyone thinking about riding and feeling bummed out by the high entry prices! Spread the love man!
Episode 30 of the free bike challange, what a BANGER!!👍👍 Amazing video Sam I appreciate all of the work you put in to these videos good job💪
Yaaas the return of the freeb.
You're enthusiasm knows no bounds

I love it when you ride a bike for the first time and say, "its the best!"
Sam Pilgram you are just the BEST! man. Keep having a blast man
Lovely 7am friday in New Zealand, AND ALWAYS LOVE scrolling to find your video to wake me up💯🖤 mad love bro

Happy to help!! 😁
You're my new hero!!! 🙌🙌🙌
"The main thing you have to do on a bike is have fun"

Wicked video, but also proves a point that is sometimes forgotten: the right bike to have is the one you've got.
Certainly the best series on youtube the Feeb Challenge.
I can’t believe you flipped that bike. 👀Wow amazing. ✨✅✨Your Awesome!
Just stumbled across your channel today! You guys are too cool! Just great!
I have a rigid Raleigh MTB from the mid 90's, bright orange color. Best bike I've ever had, so beautiful!!
Greetings from Germany!!!
So epic showing what can be done on a basic big wheeler :D Smashed it
The first slow-mo whip is gorgeous!!
Sam getting free expensive top quality bikes, Riding a bike that found in the dump.
Love that park they've done an amazing job. Absolutely brilliant video Sam...
Just shows Sam's raw skill, if its got two wheels he can smash it!! 🙂🤙
You absolute boss sam, love these free bike videos, just awesome with the sends and tricks!
Great video, Sam
Told you it was awesome. Glad you loved it. If I knew you were coming I'd loved to have met you. Regards Crazy motorbiker Helen
Nobody is better than you!
Soooo good! 🤙
Nothing can stop this man from being epic everyday
One of the best FBC's. 90's bike on classic jumps.
This has become my favorite TH-cam channel. Every video makes me laugh till my sides hurt. Keep up the good work. 🤙
Vintage steel frame bike with those vintage Shimano parts and even cantilever brakes.. KEEP IT, Sam! Just ride it as-is, no need for any shocks or Maguras!
Sam can ride 10,000 times better on a £0 bike than most of us can on a £10,000 one.
For a free bike, that thing is superb.
Brilliant Sam, I actually had one of these back in the 90’s, it was my first MTB bought with my student loan! It was a pretty good bike to be fair.
He's so good! Amazing charisma and skills! That 's absolutely fantastic how easy he looks whyle doing crazy stuff on that kind of a bikes. Actually, exactly that one is look pretty ok, i'd get one like this for comuting
Sam welcome to my world !!!!!!! ridged single speed mtb. NICE.
Love your videos! Most sympathic rider i know on youtube!
Thank you for this awesome content!
Jazz it up Sam.. Mint riding as always and great vid ... Horrrrnnnn Ittt !!!
Love the message. That´s so true.
Wow! What an awesome bike park.
Keep up the good work, Sam! Amazing and inspiring way to demonstrate how rad shit bikes can be moved around and how much it's actually about the rider, not the bike. 🤠🤙
I wish I could find someone tossing a bike like that. Great find. Now throw some shock forks on it and really go crazy.
@Triple Black Diamond MTB are you really trying to poach views for your channel off another person's video? I can tell you I'll purposely avoid your whole channel now.
A free bike that doesn't make me fear for your life, awesome!
Blows my mind every time. 🤩
The free bikes are always epic 🔥🔥🔥
Best episode yet. Love the enthusiasm for young riders, but I’m so mad that train didn’t read your hand signal!
This bike couldn't have a better retirement party. What an honor.
I got this for Xmas in 1992, loved it so much I put some ballistic shocks on it.
The kids and teens in rural Mexico will send it on bikes like this.
Edit: Huge thumbs up and like
The magic that you do is da best Sam
Best free challenge on old school mtb epic place selection for him yaaaaaaaaa:)
I needed that serotonin boost! Thanks Sam ☺️
