With Sam messing about on bikes so much and doing fun/daft stuff it's easy to forget how great a rider he is. That first downhill segment on the Canyon was some amazing riding. Fast, flowing, smooth and stylish. Amazing run!

A very interesting comparison would be 500£ vs 1000£ vs 2000£ vs the 10K as a benchmark. And we could see the diminishing returns 💪😃

Nice, clear comparism video. It is clear now even for me that the 10GBP bike sux, I was laughing on that front wheel folded in half.:) Lewi was also in the shreddy mood, cool!

Definitely upgrade the £10 bike Sam, I'd love to see this comparison again with stronger wheels. Great video as always and Props to Lewie for his great camera work.

That front wheel😂 Then Sam straightening it out 🤣🤣 priceless.

More cheap bike challenges, absolute banger of a series

The whole video is deadly funny as always but take a moment to appreciate how fucking good of a run he head with the canyon that was a pure work of art downhill right there

Wow that canyon is amazing. Mtb's have come a long way since i had a diamond back ascent 22years ago . £10.000 seems absolutely mental but if i was still riding a bike and had the spare change i would get one in a heartbeat. All the best to you really enjoy the video's you seem like a proper nice bloke.

We should all have a brother like Lewi to indulge our insanity AND, most importantly of all, keep up every step of the way.

Around the year 2000 they started making cheap bikes with aluminum wheels, I swear you can't even use them to get around town without taco-ing a wheel at some point lol. Older and newer bikes seem to be void of this issue thankfully! Sick vid as usuall!

@CJmtb91

It’s just the inherent issue with single wall alloy rims, they have no internal bracing structure to make them stiff or strong, you’ll still find them on some really cheap bikes but yeah you can pretty much fold them in half on potholes never mind trail riding 😂

Absolutely love watching your videos. Find you quite fascinating! Love how raw the vids are

Mate this one of your best vids yet! So sick🎉

My god that downhill clip was shredded HARD, Vestavik'esque.

Bit late to this one but I really really enjoy the just straight up session videos. The crazy stuff is great, but you and Louie just out riding is so much fun. Love it.

would love to see the trials bike again!!! love that thing buying one in the spring or as soon i can sell my BMX!!!

Shout-out to Lewi for always getting such sick shots and great editing.. I've seen the improvement over the years and it's really cool to see. Also, when can we get Sam to the real Rampage?? He would definitely be able to keep up with the other riders and I would love to see his choice of lines!

1:45 You're welcome!!!😂😂😂

Another ridiculous test Sam should do is the "Sherpa" MTN bike trail challenge. Is when you put a cheap cargo rack (25 KG) and gradually increase the weight & load or carry all sort of ridiculous junk before you know, the inevitable or; who knows what else could go wrong! Might be a lot of fun! 👍

Love the vids Sam, u always make me ready for a shreddy!!!🎉

pure action from the beginning, love it

Absolutely nutty riding and top draw camera control by Lewi! Loved it

Man you have incredible mountain bike skills. The control while shredding these lines at high speed is world class.

Love to see more of the £10 bike, what else can fail (hopefully no injuries) and compliments to the cameraman and editor

What an eyeopener 😮, I feel really enlightened! Thank you so much! 😉

Sam absolutely shredding makes my day after watching a marathon of the free bike challenges. What a legend

This would be awesome as comparison of a £10, £100, £1000 and £10000 bikes

Best start to a vid ever 🤟

Pilgs just absolutely stomped that first downhill line on the new bike, as hard as i can remember seeing him ride!

Great content Pilgs!

Flew down that first line on the eeb Sam, awesome!!!

This is the best! I already own the stitched cfr and a torque, must have this ONe! Love your riding!

Wow, that first crash was a big one Sam yet still managed with the typical Pilgrim demeanour and the standard "Ow!" The speed you were carrying with Lewi filming from the side, on the road was unreal. Does that bike feel a little tail heavy compared to the others you ride? There seemed to be a lot more rear wheel down air time and landings like the rebound wasn't quite on the right setting or you were trying to set up for manual landings. When you were following Lewi, he was sending some absolute bangers there and his speed was certainly impressive. As usual his camera work was amazing and his ability to remain focused even when you crash still amazes me, are you sure he hasn't had secret service training to be that good and not laugh at over the bar moments? Great video. 😎👍

Love your vids, proper inspired to keep shredding my orange when unmotivated :D

This is the best ad ive ever seen and i would watch it again even tho its chopped and edited like crazy in the shredding part

First rule of cheap wheels is to go around and add tension to the spokes. Love to see another session on the £10 pound bike

It’s hard to tell which is better …. I’ll probably have to watch again

That tree glide transition 😍😍😍

Nice vids as always! And: more cheap bikes! Please show the previous condition of them after buying first and try to make the bikes stable like by adjusting spoke tension and so on. Would like to see a fresh maintained cheap bike on the trails, also maybe a maintained one vs. unmaintained. Just to see how caring for bikes increases the robustness.

Would love to see the eeb climbing challenge. Insanely steep rampage climbing session!

Over the bars in just under 2 minutes. I genuinely laughed. Instant upvote.

Damn he sent it down that hill on that 10k bike, good to know Pilgrim is still shredding just as hard as he always has !!

great video as always but literally it's a Canyon commercial hahaha cheers Sam

Literally hired a Canyon eeb and did this exact Surrey Hills up AND downhill line! I can confirm that climb and descent is way gnarlier than it looks even on video (regardless sick filming Lewi!) !! Would have hated to be on anything less 🫨

yeah that rear axle bent when it slid out of the dropouts, all too common with the older cassette styles.

I used to rock the local jumps on my £99 Apollo Scorpion back in the 90's, going up against the local legends on their £500+ bikes, and still nailed all the jumps. An expensive bike doesn't make you good, practice does. But also, when you mess up, the extra coinage does help. ;]

Bro deserves 2 mil subs by Xmas! 👍

Fastest filmer in the South race series.....!!! What an idea Sam. Gotta happen. My moneys on Louie

Thanks for comparison Sam! Now I know that if i spend a little bit more I mean 9990£ more then I'm ready to go :D

Hey Sam, love the vids! I have a bmx style bike but I am trying to get a bmx bike. What kinda of mtb bike do you recommend for more street use and not as much off road and also should it be a hard tail or full suspension? Also something that’s good for wheelies
