what keeps bringing me back to this channel is the way that it nonchalantly celebrates the way that when you've built up an incredible amount of skill, you can have a great time regardless of equipment, and you're less likely to face consequences for your idiocy. Love it. Makes me want to go out and practice practice practice.
Always heartwarming to see the Pilgrim Benevolence Fund donating extensively tested bikes to the local community. You are truly doing the Lord's work, Sam. Bless you 🙏
i bet you didnt realize this but that is actually not a walmart bike... threadless headset has rotors on front with quality braking system name brand and it has qr levers...@@Tyraan

Sam and Lewi, true masters of their art. Lewi trained as a stealthy cameraman who wants to laugh hysterically at his brother's antics but remains truly poised and focused to bring us epic footage and action shots. Sam, truly a master of the bike and how to have fun on said equipment. He can literally turn any bicycle/tricycle into the ultimate fun machine whether for urban, trails or tracks. It truly is an art form and they are absolutely masters of it. Yes please Sam a full trials bike video would be awesome!
Can we all take a second to respect that this £50 bike survived the bike park despite Sam riding it like he'd stolen it. Amazing skills sam Bikes decent too.
they didnt look bent... and suntour forks are insanely strong just so you know but you probably wouldnt considering you never broke a fork and pushed it past its limits...@@bermchasin
I love that all you're cheap bikes are Epic! That's the true spirit of cycling. It's not the bike that counts. It's the ride. Keep it up for all off us on cheap bikes :D
i ride a frankengoose that people tell me i shouldnt have on the mountain cause its not safe, sam reminds me with these videos that its not what you ride its the fun you have with what you got that make you a rider
I have to say this is the only yt channel which doesn't annoy me with ads. They are well integrated, short and funny, in a way that sometimes you almost don't even notice them or in a way that you even want to buy the stuff. I even bought Monster, even though I usually prefer healthy groceries. 😂 I usually hate ads and I have a TH-cam abo to see as less as possible. If ads would always be that funny and well integrated in the content, I wouldn't have to put so much effort into avoiding them.
Sam- thanks foe cheer me up!! Im on my holliday,here at frozen PL, no mtb,just ...cozy time with family...ahh! Its a little boring. But when you see guy like Sam - good vibes in a veins!! Thank you Mr Crazy!! ❤❤
Maaaaan, there are so many pro rad bikers out there which I follow... BUT.... there ain't no one like you dude ❗✨ You just ride a bike like there is no tomorrow, just having fun, which it's all about.... cheers to you 🤟🎶
Sam Pilgrim vs Fabio Wilmer cheap bike competition would fun to see...all disciplines, one equal cheap bike for each one... Let's The cheap bike games begin!😂🎉
What the hell, that's my old bike? No way! The base plate under the crank is very thin and will crack under this sort of pressure. I had mine replaced with a 3mil plate, never let me down. Loved that bike, think it was an old GT but not 100% sure, bought it of a smack head for £60. Upgraded the forks and gave it the shimano diore gear system. Absolutely bullet proof.
Cheap bikes are an also ran, but, I will never turn down a video when you do one. Howevaaaaaa! I would love to see you pick up an ancient downhill bike that used to be quality back in the day and flog one of those. Love ya man!
If you hit the bike lock-up hops on the first go… you need to buy a cheap bike and durability test it before every trials sesh. You looked loose and warmed up nicely when you pulled the trials bike out. That bike looks so nice!
Sam u are a nutter...and a very entertaining one. I'm no great rider at all, once took a cheap bike down some of the Queenstown (NZ) tracks. My brothers bike mechanic mate took one look at the bike...and said....'There's only one place I'd ride that and that's to the shops'
When Sam attempted 360 I thought that the back wheel is going to face sideways after landing. Kind of impressed with this "Auchanbike" (russian synonym of Walmart bike))
What I found funny is that Sam can't help but land smoothly off every jump. Any "normal" owner of a £50 full suspension bike would have cased 95% of those jumps and wrecked the back wheel immediately. Also interesting to see how much abuse a 32-spoke (or similar - I didn't actually count them) 26" wheel can actually take - no tyre, down stairs - no issue, please try harder...😬
No flair? I was really expecting a flair. Sick Trials bike, but I'm honestly really wanting to see Sam on a BMX, especially hitting some street, maybe some handrails, maybe see if a BMX can handle a Slopestyle course, or an ENDURO course? If anyone can send a BMX down an enduro trail or a big slopestyle course its Sam.
Looks similar to my two POS Vertical PK7's...on one I swapped rear spring for a 165mm DNM air shock but that made it a pogo stick no matter how much air I pumped innit. Nice to know Mr Pilgrim ripped it well and likes it, but we know he can make any POS bike look amazing. My plans are to install a CYC pro mid-Drive motor , a $75 rear 190mm hydro/coil shock(Amazon) and my trusty 100-120mm RockShox Tora 289 (coil)...and a mickey mouse 🐭 bell for the handlebar
Wow, that motul stuff must be amazing. It manages to minimize friction betwenn cassette/chainring and the chain when applied from the opposit side. Got to get myself that chainlube
50 quid and you managed to only kill the rear wheel only after removing the tyre...quite a beast indeed. Feel like u should do another video with the most basic cheapest canyon hardtail and push it through its paces and see if u can push it's limits even further
I got that same bike for free 3 year ago when i had nothing else, i was driving 20kms almost daily on gravel it was fun wont lie when you have nothing better. Today i own merida big nine 200 with continental raceking tires the diff is insane 😅
I wish I could come and grab that Beast of a bike but unfortunately I live on the other side of the world in that case I hope it gets SHREDDED HARD and survives have a good day and thanks for the great Vlog Sam

I love that the bell dings lightly whenever you land a jump
I didn't realise it was the bell, I thought it was added SFX for making the jump. 🤣
From now he should install that on all his bikes
I only noticed that as soon as I read your comment
He's got a basket, a bell that rings, and things to make it look good...
I like how the saddle costs twice as much as the bike XD
Wish i could give him my bicycle
Collab with dannymacaskill with trial bike
I love how you seem legit disappointed when the bike doesn't kill you 😂
I really like the fact that after this you actually will fix it and give it away, so more fun for someone else!

Sam out here proving its not about the bike...its about the rider! Dreamy!!!
Yeah that's it💪
This was the reason I started following you a couple of years back dude! More cheap bike stress testing videos please 😂
We definately need more trials from you. You are so talented at mixing it up in the streets!!
100%
Most MTB TH-camrs: "nooo you have to spend at least $5,000 on a bike!"
Sam Pilgrim: "haha $50 bike go brrrr"
This is the proof that carbon frames are a SCAM
Link to one person - just one - saying this 🤔
Got into that skill you need a lot of time training. Time is money
@@ArnoldQMudskipper "all the gear no idea" kind of guys say it used to see em at chicksands with 5 k bikes and cant even ride the dual or the 4x
No.

Amazing skills sam
Bikes decent too.
the forks not so much.

@@monkeh55 Ive broken a couple forks in my day. Starting off on my schwinn aerostar. A fork can survive a ride without being a nice fork.
You are the reason I started MTB never stop doing what you do and you will inspire more and more people!!! Keep shredding
Sam you should make a bike yourself by hand and document it. Learning to weld, no big deal!
You can do it!

I love that all you're cheap bikes are Epic!

"This next spot is somewhere I've never been before." 😂 I've seen that stair set of doom more than I've seen my kids. 😅

This video just demonstrates what a talented rider Sam is !!! This guy could ride a carrier bag and make it look decent 👌👍🤣🤣🤣
It’s a true skill that Sam can make any bike/contraption look cool while he shreds 😂

Sam on a cheap bike still shredding harder than me 🤙
no doubt. me too.
As much as I enjoy watching you serious riding videos these types of one are the best for me. Pure entertainment laugh from start to finish.
Nice! So it is proven now that a cheap bike doesn't have to be a bad choice. So biking could be for everyone, even with a small budget. ❤
I love how sam can make anything with wheels look good. Whats next bro a tea trolley 😂😂
😂 good plan!
The way the bell rings whenever he lands 😂😂
Crazy fun as usual, thanks Sam!
Glad ya liked it!!
Love the slowmo at 11:12. Absolutely great shot.
So glad to see a cheap bike challenge again, miss seeing all the daft crazy videos again. And crazy upgrades, love it
It's good that you're TH-cam career is going so well that you can now afford to splash out on £50 bikes as opposed to the freebies of old.😉
😂😂😂
😂 very amusing!

You just ride a bike like there is no tomorrow, just having fun, which it's all about.... cheers to you 🤟🎶
the mountain biking part at the start, had me with a smile on my clock proper, it's always cool to see what a skilled dude can do with a cheapo bike.
I was so happy to see another cheap bike challenge! Awesome as always!
Today was EPIC, Sam and Lewi y'all rock! Love the channel and content. To the sskkyyy! Peace
I'd never seen a bike's back tyre lift coming out of berms, until today!
Can you believe Magura decided this guy was not worth sponsoring
Brakes? Nah, don't need 'em mate.
When i was like 15 we made the most crackhead-like shit on bikes like this and they never broke, these sketchy bikes were indestructable!
You know it’s gonna be a lit day when Sam uploads
This and Deadbug says. 😉👍🏻
I was thinking at the start of the video, maybe a zip tie on the front fork and a camera facing the shock, to see how much work they’re doing?
ready for a shreddy. I just bought a canyon spectral al 5 because of you and I'm not regretting it .
Your trials work starting at 12:40 is really, really nice.
A 360 bell ring or flip bell would have been gold Sam...
Love urban trial stuff, endless amounts of trick variations in just one spot
Sam Pilgrim vs Fabio Wilmer cheap bike competition would fun to see...all disciplines, one equal cheap bike for each one... Let's The cheap bike games begin!😂🎉
Finally it's back, love those videos. Sick
what a commercial for the cheapo airline deep section rim! I have actually built up a few wheels with those rims and they are doing pretty strong
Best mtb maintenance video I’ve ever seen!
What the hell, that's my old bike? No way!
The base plate under the crank is very thin and will crack under this sort of pressure. I had mine replaced with a 3mil plate, never let me down. Loved that bike, think it was an old GT but not 100% sure, bought it of a smack head for £60. Upgraded the forks and gave it the shimano diore gear system. Absolutely bullet proof.
the bell ringing along the drops is just perfection
love your vids,, you can always have the best fun on 26" wheels...26" aint dead
Those bars look narrower than a boat on the Suiz Canal.
Good effort. That’s how most of us started. Ride what you have. Don’t need to spend a fortune.
Cheap bikes are an also ran, but, I will never turn down a video when you do one. Howevaaaaaa! I would love to see you pick up an ancient downhill bike that used to be quality back in the day and flog one of those. Love ya man!
Parked and ready for the next smartphone snatch! 😂

Sam: “There we go fully serviced” 🤣🤣🤣
If you hit the bike lock-up hops on the first go… you need to buy a cheap bike and durability test it before every trials sesh. You looked loose and warmed up nicely when you pulled the trials bike out. That bike looks so nice!
LOL - that rear rim survived more than most 'top mtb rims'
Expensive parts are a SCAM.
That rim was pure steel, and Steel is real.
YES!!! More on the trials bike!!
Sam u are a nutter...and a very entertaining one. I'm no great rider at all, once took a cheap bike down some of the Queenstown (NZ) tracks. My brothers bike mechanic mate took one look at the bike...and said....'There's only one place I'd ride that and that's to the shops'

An incredibly good example of the fact that it's not the bike but the rider that counts 🤘
Nothing to see here folks. Only the coolest most creative and entertaining mtbr ever 👍❤️
I like the fact the bike goes cha-ching on every landing as if it knows it's worth!
Literally the best and most entertaining channel ever🔥🔥🔥
Mom dad come quick cheap bike challenge is back!!!!!
The little bugger was like ,, YOU are not gonna kill me ! Wieder ein geiles Video Sam
I was waiting for this challenge ❤😂 so much
when your saddle and your grips pretty much quadruple the worth of your bike you are a living bike upgrading genius!
This reminds me of that Top Gear episode when they tried to destroy the second hand Toyota Hilux and it just kept going.
No flair? I was really expecting a flair.
Sick Trials bike, but I'm honestly really wanting to see Sam on a BMX, especially hitting some street, maybe some handrails, maybe see if a BMX can handle a Slopestyle course, or an ENDURO course? If anyone can send a BMX down an enduro trail or a big slopestyle course its Sam.
my favourite eps. keep them coming bro!!
Mashing a wheel was nearly impossible! That’s a hell of a bike, imagine upgrading it?
Front disc being on backwards is the least of the issues with this fine nugget of early 2000s engineering!
What an epic video, u definitely need more trials videos its so fun to watch
Keep up the 🔥 videos. I love the cheap bikes the most but love all the videos.
I wish you fitted a bell to every bike, jokes on the trails hearing it ring between sends 🤘
Definitely want to see a full session on the trials bike.
Best bang for your buck for a 50 pound bike - I'd say you put that bike through the ultimate test!

That's your URT geometry frame. It's specifically designed so that when you stand up you don't have a rear suspension. Clever design.
Love the content..love the channel... boils down to attitude in the end..watching from queensland Australia
Sam Absolute Best Person on the World , So mutch Fun
50 quid and you managed to only kill the rear wheel only after removing the tyre...quite a beast indeed. Feel like u should do another video with the most basic cheapest canyon hardtail and push it through its paces and see if u can push it's limits even further
Sam has the skills for sure.
Would be awesome to see a full vid of the trails bike!

Huh. I was totally expecting a wheel to taco. Can't wait to see your finished track.
Respect to those vueltta airline wheel builds!
Danny better watch out with that trials masterclass!
In seriousness a colab would be ace!
10:06, that machinegun joke killed me😂😂
Love your vids mate
Mai Bahot time se wait kar raha tha cheap bike ke videos ki
I love this video man 🤝❤️🔥
And the bike is super strong
Your limited run T-shirt came through a couple days ago Sammy boi. Loving it cheers!
I wish I could come and grab that Beast of a bike but unfortunately I live on the other side of the world in that case I hope it gets SHREDDED HARD and survives have a good day and thanks for the great Vlog Sam
Sam on a trials bike is what the world needs now!
yeess! More videos about the trials bike!
