THE FREE BIKE CHALLENGE - PART 18 - DOWNHILL CHOPPER
Спорт
The free bike challenge part 18 is here and I customise the Raleigh Chopper into a Downhill bike the hit some MTB trails and Urban MTB spots! How sick does this look?
The free bike challenge seems to get better and better and the Raleigh chopper is no exception. After receiving this bike for free in the last episode and riding it hard with out any breakages I thought that it was time to upgrade the bike with some new downhill suspension forks before getting out onto the local MTB trails and urban freeride spots. I start things off at a small DH trail that me and Lewi Pilgrim built a few months back, then I hit a freeride line in a quarry which was sick. After some more trails we head into town to hit a stair set of doom before finishing off with a tiny ride around the skatepark. Unfortunately it got dark super fast because we had to film two videos in one day due to the fact I'm now in Tokyo filming the next HOW I SEE IT video which will be out on Sunday!! What should I do next on the chopper?
I hope you enjoy the video!

Excellent, In 1988 I took a Raleigh chrome burner and fitted a set of Mountain bike forks, A 26" MTB wheel and a set of CW bars, I t looked proper weird but I rode it all summer long, Went swimming and camping on it, I called it The Phantom Bellringer, A year later I created Bellringer MK2 using a 1950's butchers bike fitted with a gold Araya BMX wheel, I miss those days
I love your gentle approach to mechanicing. You are a legend 😉✌️❣️
FREEride on a FREE bike - absolutely the DREAM!
By far my favorite bike challenge bike!! Haha the chopper is damn legendary and so are you mate! 🙌🏻🙏🏻🤙🏻Big fan in Alaska.
Does anyone else not even care about bikes but still watch this guy cuz he's a riot?

I had a new Chopper when I was a younger me. It was truly awesome. Indestructible beast.

I Love it when Sam says:"The Dream" or "Oh the Chopper"😂😂
Back in the 70's a lad at school came in with a Chopper with chunky moped forks on... brings back them memories...
That is a beautiful one. Worth pimping further. Love the slant towards the back, makes it look like is going super fast.

nobody : the geometry is all bad... Sam pilgrim : "oh yes the dream"
I agree with adding different forks for tricks, Sam. Perfect idea.

Sam, you are a mad genius that is an epic bike.
Its funny because "chopper" is a play on "whopper" which i'm pretty sure is Burger King and not Macdonalds, but she just gave you some food anyways lol
I recently watched all of the free bike vids, and it's pretty amazing to see how good you've gotten at riding crap bikes.
Waiting for the test of your DJ bike with an downhill fork! Nice, Thank you from Brazil!
Another great video, they always make me smile regardless.
Couldn't be happier that this series is back!
You sir are a sick man. In a very very good way. 🤘🏻
What ever you do Sam it will be EPIC!!!!!!
“Just to make it more dangerous, I think...” Love the videos man.
I've never wanted a bike more than I want that chopper!!
Just brilliant!
Downhill chopper. Two words that probably shouldn’t be put together! Lol Sam crazy man
Haha madness. My spine was creeking just watching it lol
Świetne pomysły. Pozazdrościć talentu i zabawy z rowerem.
Utter quality! Good job that man.
That geo has SNAP written all over it haha Sam, you're a mad man, keep it up :D
That's so cool, it's a proper lowrider, get the whole thing chromed...
Ok, now I know you are unhinged😂👍🏻 who else could even think of creating that concoction of a bike 😂😂
Sam: pedals are slippery anyways proceeds to ride it love the quote ' adds to the excitement I guess'
That's is the coolest bike is the best bike I've ever seen! I always wanted one of them, coolest bike.
How I see Tokyo with max on the chopper that would be epic. It amazes me how you can ride and trick any bike. Your bike handling skills are unreal. Please teach me how to ride like you sam.
Dooo the backflip on that thing that would be sooooo sick 🤘 TO THE SKY !!!
Awesome video. Cool bike thing.
Change the forks. Bigger tricks for sure. Awesome video. As my daughter says......."funny man on a bike daddy!" Keep up the great work.
Love the attitude Sam!
