Good job and good fun, Blake and Sam, getting those wheels to the breaking point--beyond the breaking point, really, as it took more than jumps and trails to bust 'em up. And fair play to Spank for welcoming the abuse of those wheels--it is clear they make a strong, excellent wheel, most impressive. And in the mid-Seventies, strong BMX wheels were needed to compliment strong steel frames, and Skyway introduced its one-piece Tuff-Wheel and that wheel was great, pretty much bombproof. And they guaranteed them and they were true to their word--I finally bent a rear wheel in early '79 and sent if off to Skyway in Sacramento in Northern California and promptly received a new Tuff-Wheel.

Come to Derby in Australia

After watching the video, I went out and got myself a Monster energy drink. Thanks guys

This has been one of the greatest videos for me by far this year on GMBN Sam and Blake are the funniest together 😂. Time we all get ourselves a set of these rims 👌🤟

Hilarious video! It reminded me a bit of the video Danny did with Santa Cruz. Loved it🤙

Man, I was so sad yet so amused by this video, then I was super impressed by just how much abuse those rims took. When my rims wear out (dt swiss 533d front and mavic ex630 rear) I'll definitely be buying these to replace em. Current full wheelset: DT Swiss 533d laced onto a Shimano 15mm TA front hub, 32h Mavic ex630 laced onto a Shimano XT 10mm qr rear hub, 36h Continental trail king 2.4 on the front Vittoria Mazza 2.4 on the rear

Been running Spank Spoon 32s on my enduro bike for 3 years. Ride every week, in the Alps where I live. Riding includes bike parks, trails, and some nasty rocky tech. I've only had one slightly loose spoke in all that time and two dings from big rocks. I'm 95kg, so there's a lot of force going through them every week. Best buy I've made in that time.

Im getting myself spanks! Kudos to GMBN and the duo

Such a good video ... want to see more madness with blake and Sam 🤙

Lol, I laughed way to hard at this. Also very impressed with the abuse a Mtn bike wheel can actually with stand before failure.

I've been riding a set of 28h Spank Oozy 295s since 2015. I picked up a rock dent in the side wall of the front one at some point or another. I just kept riding it. Still going strong! I've never even checked the spokes tension and they are still true as the day I bought them.

@@spankindustries7875 Yeah, I want to keep the rear but would like to run a slightly wider front for a 2.5/2.6 tire. But you don't make anything to replace them. I've never had an issue with running 28 spokes. (Guess I don't ride hard enough. lol). Would love to buy the same rim to swap straight in place (assuming the spoke lengths would still work.) Don't really want to buy a new hub, too. Ya know? A red w/ black logo 35mm 28h would be perfect. Feel like making a one-off for me? lol

Am I still ride it home….. hilarious. One of the best vids in a long time

Spank rims are sick! have them on my hardtail and enduro with hope pro 4 hubs and they take a hell of a beating and just keep rolling 🤟

Etienne Gurnel did that with a spank oozy in chatel without a tire. He jumped over the road and river gap. It was like 8 years ago. The rim survived but was damaged on the edges.

In a moment of weakness I let a friend use my bike while I was injured, being a roadie he put 100psi in my tyres and blew my rear to bits. Completely wrecked my rim, blew the rim out and twisted its profile. All without leaving the garage.

@spankindustries7875

Hey Josh, actually.....you may be surprised. Its a combination of the Oobah patented profile of our rim design (the wavy cross section) and the Dynamal Alloy we use that gives the rim integrity and added strength. The 359 model tested in this video (and similarly our 350 rim) is the lightest, radially compliant and shallowest rim profiles in our range, so actually not the ones built for the greatest strength! Our SPIKE 33 rim and Spoon 32 rims are slightly heavier, but they have a deeper rim depth and the profile design is engineered on our "bombproof" mission! The SPIKE rims are sleeved, and the SPOON rims are pinned. They retail from $69.90 for a SPOON rim.

One of the best mtb Viedeos this year

Love that ending

Honestly, best sales pitch I’ve seen in a long time.

The sound of the bare rim on the rocks....ptsd. thx!....heheh Cool vid guys!

now thats what i call testing a wheel

Hence the reason a pro wheel builder of a few decades only recommends Spank rims. My personal favorite wheelset is a set of Hope Pro4 hubs laced to F350 and R359 for the best bang for the $. My own tuned set of hoops. Cheers!

Awesome! Just what i needed to convince me to get a new pair of wheels after mine broke
