THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTAIN BIKE - SENDING MTB FREERIDE!
Спорт
The steering wheel mountain bike - Sending MTB freeride with his crazy setup is so sick! I fit a car steering wheel on my bike and push myself to the limits to see what tricks I can do and thing I can ride! Would you try this?
My friend told me to try the steering wheel mod on my mountain bike so of course after seeing it I knew I had to give it a go. I found this steering wheel online and got myself a top loader BMX stem to help fit the wheel easier. After drilling some holes and fitting everything to my custom haibike dirt jump bike I was ready to test the new modification on some urban MTB freeride lines. I start off the video at a pump track to see how the bike performs and moves before slowly sending it harder throughout the video at a number of different riding spots, including skateparks and jumps!!
Would you try this?
I hope you enjoy the video!

"then we've got 3 bolts in which is going to be extra safe"... Not sure Sam's definition of safe is the same as most other ordinary people's.

Keith, even with out the tricks a bike is so much fun. I do just little bits but being outside and getting my heart and lungs pumping so good. Bought an ebike last June(2021) 2700km later, to quote Sam 'so dreamy, this thing is the best, so good' etc etc. I ride that thing everywhere, geared up to ride all winter here in western Canada. Itching to up my skills, influenced by Sam. He definitely brings a smile to my face.
The level of skill has to be appreciated to drop in stairs set of doom and the bowl with no brakes…. What a legend you deserve to do be successful ✊🏼

The steering wheel is fitted properly sir. To do some more basp-combi-like tricks, without OTSW, it might be helpful putting a white strip of tape round the “top” (like on a rally car) Cheers

It's great seeing you do what you do best Sam, making the days EPIC. I can see that steering wheel with a gyro braking system hooked up to paddle shifts from a race car behind the wheel. 😎👍
OK, Don't stop there... Larger wheel, pre power steering days, and paddle shifter brakes on the gyro. You Got This!
My Pilgrips didn't take that long to arrive at all (Canada)... and the best part of all is that international customers get a free Sam Pilgrim autograph on the shipping label! 😁🤙
"Today is going to be epic" -i believe it when Sam says it
Saw several steering wheel bikes back in the ‘70s. I’d have drilled my own holes, so the grip areas would be usable. Also working out a break would really open up the possibilities 🤟🏻😉
I love how there is no teasing or lead up, you have the drill out 10 seconds into the video. Some channels would tease this for a week. Legend.
These videos are so much better then the backyard jumps tbh, URBANNNNNN, mad love from New Zealand

Can tell the planning situation at the orchrad has took its toll on sam... keep your head up m8, love ur vids true inspiration.
Wait what if you maybe add a gear ratio or something to the steering column and you can turn it even more and it would give you more control at high speeds. Also maybe something like the gear paddles you have in racecars would be great to add some brakes to...😂 Also this seems like something that would even more for road bikers. This definitely has some potential I'm soo interested!

Your insane man haha. Can actually hear the creak from the stem and proceeded to do worlds first tricks. Applaud here from the U.S.
Not to mention the extra safety with bars core sampling people completely gone with this setup. Pure gold as always
We made brackets to make it straight no cutting just drill bracket match it up and bolt.
Dude imagine if you put a suicide knob on the steering wheel you could do high speed bar spinning with 1 hand
The new Shirt is ACTUALLY the DREAM. Wish I could get it in the USA Sam.

I had no idea about this guy lmao! I love it! This is the ronnie mac of mountain bikes. Hands down. You put a steering wheel on to cut speed. It's all about the speed, brakes just slow you down.
How do you not have more subscribers? Your personality is so funny. You ride literally anything and make it look so fun.

Love how you experiment with these crazy mods
Super Top video jajajajaj. Now I feel big motivated to get on the trail myself, what gets me going the longest while bike is *Delta Parole* or other rokk music!
I actually put a steering wheel on my old beach cruiser a few years ago, it's still amazing, I welded mine so it's actually centered, even with how much you liked yours, a centered and aligned steering wheel does make it entirely better
tooooooo much grinning with this one bruv. putting handlebars on my zafira tomorrow morning! you noes et! siiiick!
I once knew a guy with a big like 50s chevy steering wheel on at department store 10 speed bike but this was like 35 years ago around 1986 when I was 16. It was easily double the size.

Masterpiece, Bruce u are a genius.
Absolutely EPIC!!!!
Excellent blog Dude you made me smile with your new toy,cant wait to see what you do next with it
Would live to see the steering wheel on some other bikes! My only suggestion would be to make all new holes for the stem mount so that you can have the wheel straight and hold it as intended!
wow i cant believe it works so well.But the again Pils cab ride anything with mods... Great Vid
The tailwhip looks specially cool! Sick video.
You got some incredible skills! I like the innovation. You should design your own version of this customized for exactly what it is your doing. Make a hybrid handle bar steering wheel. You seem to have an idio-synchrattic relationship with your bikes. Why else would you do tricks with a steering wheel? Just awesome.
i laughed soooo hard, thanks for the content
Thanks Sam, this is pretty fantastic, though it is making me feel the shattered wrist.
Great vid Sam! I'm sure that steering wheel would look a treat on the bedframe bike. :P
Not goung to lie, I've been thinking about doing this since I was like 5 years old in 2003. I'm soooo excited to see how this works
