THE FREE BIKE CHALLENGE - FINAL EVER EPISODE!
Спорт
The free bike challenge - Final ever episode! The final free bike challenge is here where I upgrade and customise a land rover ladies bike and send it on MTB trails, urban freeride spots and skateparks! But will it last?
The free bike challenge has been the longest series on this channel and has amassed a huge number of views across the 30 previous videos in the series, but I'm finding it very hard to find good free bikes (as you can imagine) so I decided to make this the final ever episode and a new more exciting series will be taking its place as you will learn about in this video. But getting back to this episode I find myself with a ladies land rover bicycle that looked pretty un-usable before I upgrade it to the max with new forks, wheels, cranks, bars and everything but the frame, which has a good bit of character. I love a good bike build so it seemed rather fitting to upgrade this bike and see what it would perform like across various different terrain including dirt jump, MTB trails and urban freeride spots, but will this bike out live the series or will it get destroyed. Cast your votes now!!
I hope you enjoy the video!

You mean, exactly the same. 🤣
My favorite thing about Sam.... There is not a bike on the planet that he can't find something he digs about it. That is a true love of cycling. He is proof it ain't the bike, it's the rider.
You are a charming man, Sam, and your joy is infectious! If only more people would go outside with their bike and play.
Cheap bike challenge sounds like the Bicycle equivalent to Top Gear's Cheap car challenge, I love that!

“A few moments later” Sam’s French accent cracked me up 😂😂😂
I think marzocchi supermonster would fit perfectly on this street beast.

You inspired me to put drop bars and a rigid fork on my 29"er hardtail. I had so much fun today and set a strava personal record. (It was insane and made my old trail fun again)

Imagine if Sam was an engineer: "Boeings new plane designed by Sam Pilgrim, the plane crashed 5 times while driving out of the hangar, Sam says one wing is sooo goood, it's the dream" :P

Yes… more on that bike. I was cracking up out loud! Love these vids.
We need pt2 for sure!!
I appreciate you never swear. Hope it did'nt hurt too much. Looking forward to part 2. 😀
Love to see more of this Sam! Keep up the great work 👊
Only Sam can build a bike that can creak instantly and by default. A skill that he has been perfecting for years. Epic! Haha.
11:11 was the funniest thing I’ve seen EVER. From now it is compulsory that ALL jumps on bikes should be accompanied by a cry of the bike name.

Gonna miss the Free B episodes! Hope you enjoyed the last one!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
The humor and editing were prime for this episode. I also want to see much more from this bike!
That was extremely entertaining. Only you Sam could compare the lines of the Akasha to a Formula One car. This has to be the one video where you hurt yourself more getting the bike ready to ride than actually on the ride. The abrupt stop at the skate park made me feel greatful that it's a step through bike. I for one definitely want to see you bring it back out because the bike is never truly destroyed until you truly destroy it. Glad to see the traditional Sam Pilgrim sander was once again deployed.
At first I was shocked, but I calmed down when I heard, that the new free bike challange is the cheap bike challange 😁😉
more of this beast please sam, would love to see it
Keep running the bike! Great work as always. I watch the building the bike segment, I think to myself why cant I find a good mechanic like you around here.
I'd like to see this bike shredding again. Also, watching you engage in bike mechanics fills me with both joy and fear.
God that title nearly gave me a heart attack! Glad to hear it's kind of staying around!
Another EPIC DAY with the one and only Sam pilgrim!!!! 🔥 Sam should come to Alaska and shred some trails!
These videos rule, I hope you do more. Definitely do another vid on this bike. It’s a good laugh!
Hi Sam, Keep the free bike rocking, Cant wait to see some more with the UPGRADES!!
Always so informative watching Sam use his legendary bike maintenance skills!😂

Was kinda cringy how he butchered the fork but thanks god the bike gods took revenge at him @ 4:00 🤣🤣🤣
Love the content as always! Looking forward to part 2 with shorter forks and a brake setup 👌
Definitely keep the bike mods videos going... makes for best viewing pleasures 🙏 ☺️
Absolutely keep the Land Rover running mate!!!
Definitely mod it! I kinda love the way the frame looks. Keep ripping!🔥
Love these videos. Making the most of the cheap/free bikes is great. shows that you dont need to spend a fortune to have a good laugh on a bike.
yes sam, keep the biking running, would love to see it again!!!
Heck yeah, do it mate! 🤘
If I could i would send you my father's old Atala to see you give it a new life send it and shred it! 🤟🏻 Much Love from Italy keep up Sam 🤙🏻
i love how the only thing that broke is the high end wheel lmao the frame is invincible and yes please keep the bike alive

Technically speaking, the derailleur bent and broke the wheel, but regardless. Yes mod this bike and thrash it til it dies!
Sam, this whole episode was a Finale! thanks for 15 minutes of absolute joy!
Hi Sam & Lui, Free/Cheap bike episodes are by far the BEST, especially the ones where you team up with Lui. Those double seated bikes are just hilarious! keep them coming! How about those big bicycle bar bikes with multiple seats on them with friends. The more peeps the more fun.

I would love to see this bike customised, so you can really send it with the bike. I'm pretty curious what this thing can withstand 🤔
Your the man bro. Keep up the dope vids
Yes, let's keep this bike around Sam!! It's gonna be epic!!
You may need to tune up your thumb detector. It's not designed for locating fingers! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the cheap bike challenge, bound to be laughs aplenty.
You can see it in hes Face that he loves doing these! Keep it up bro:)

Damn this episode is a killer. hahahaha. I want to see that frame ridden to oblivion to be honest. Hope u bring it back in the future.
Yes man jump that thing. Free bike challenge are the best!
That video was awesome. Yes please, make a bonus final episode 🔥💪
always wondered why there wasnt more of the freeb vids, never crossed my mind that it was just harder and harder to find free bikes lol. BRING ON THE CHEEEBS (cheap bike)
Sam is like me repairing my bike when i was 7 years old 😂
Ride it! It's a lot of fun to watch. The kids love it too! Wee!
Love watching your videos never a dull moment 😂
I really like watching your videos about free bike challenge, and honestly it's so sick mate. Just keep doing that kind of content and everybody is gonna love it😍
Loving the content. So funny and knowledgeable. Get your tools sorted!!!
Yes, would love to see it again, with original paintjob! :)
i love watching you mod things, it makes me feel like were very similar engineers. the hammer is a universal- newly named tool everyday
I love your crazy ideas and your content. Free bike challenge was really great.
Today was indeed epic! I think the bike looked really good with mountain bike wheels and suspension forks. I look forward to seeing what you do with it next.
“so the low frame encompasses the sort of visual aspects that youd expect from a formula 1 car” absolutely amazing quote by Sam 😂
AKASHA!!! 🤣Sam, me and my kids have become freebike fundamentalists thanks to your mentorship.
Yes, let's keep it running! It is an amazingly sturdy bike! I think this format plus some tips on how to improve an inexpensive bike to use on trails would actually be interesting and possibly even helpful to some people who start out on a cheap bike but don't have the funds to buy a more dedicated bike.
Yessss!!!!! Amazing vid lover ur stuff to bits Sam. Sounds great. Feel bad for the wheel tho 😭😂
Oh for sure I second the motion to see more akasha shredding. Oh wait…more like 42nd that motion😄. Ps the back rack on it is so👌🏼. Great stuff Sam.
Defo keep the bike n mod it more, always loved the free bike challenges! You’re a top bloke Sam, best MTB vlog by far 💯🔥👊🏻
Bring 'er back for another video- I love it.
YES !!! Would love too see it again!
It would be sick to have a finale with this bike! I would love to see it customized :)
Thanks for the idea of using a derailleur as a chain tensioner. I just gave it a try on my bike that I’ve recently destroyed my drivetrain on forcing me to convert it to a single speed until I get the money to replace the parts. Works really well
Pimp that ride Sam! We need to see a proper free bike send off!
Absolutely spectacular! Some of the best entertainment on You Tube! There is no reason to quit the Free Bike Challenge series......... I have now subbed, and that is reason enough to continue. You could do a budget bike challenge using gravel, commuter, MTB and others. Way to keep the Sam Pilgrim channel the funnest on You Tube.............To the sky!!!
I can't wait to see the Akasha on some epic trails and freeride lines
These videos are the best ever!! So much laughter!!
The free bike challenge got me through lockdown and my broken wrist. Sad to see it go, love the vids and I am very excited for cheap bike though, hopefully you put some fox 40’s on those too.
omg that single speed hack is exactly what i needed. thank you!
Cheap bike challenge is the best! Do your thing Sam! The world loves it!
Gets hurt by the smallest boo boo but does insane deathly jumps XD ..love it! Also Land Rover stickers.
Yes we want to see this rig again
👌🏻😄yup keep those wheels turning for sure, the bike totally deserves it and you are revealing yourself as being a great presenter,I'm enjoying this sitcom series to the fullest here😄👌🏻👍🏻🙋🏻♂️.
Yep...more of this beauty please!
Love the series, but your new one will give you even more possibilities for unique bikes!
This is awesome 😂😂 I wanna see MORE!
This is the only reason I watch your channel. I love the free bike challenge. There are free bikes on your travels overseas. Always free bikes in Adelaide mate.

Keep doing cheap bike challenges. I'm getting back into Mountain bikes because of you and your brother mate. Thank you 🙏🏼
Yes please! This bike is sick! I really wanna see a huge tabletop and a fufanu if you get brakes!
Keep it going dude! Basically the same thing I've done to my CARERRA VENGANCE... sooo... cheaper upgrades, but they work and it has the same stance as yours, because it has 29" forks on a 27.5" frame! Madness! 🤟😯🤣
YES! Also a 10min montage of Sam fitting forks haha
Yes, glad series will continue!!!! the content is EPIC!! ahaha
Holy shit !!! The pipe slicer is absolute genius thanks for the idea, I have like 4 spacers on my bike 🤣🤣👍👍👍
Yes do another video with it man! Awesome video!
The editing and memeing on this channel is always so spot on
Best bicycle channel on KZread!! Seriously love these videos!! ✌️✌️
