TENNIS BALL TYRES ON MY MOUNTAIN BIKE!

- Tennis ball tyres on my mountain bike is incredible!! I modify my Canyon slopestyle bike to fit tennis balls instead of tyres and shred a bike park before hitting a stair set of doom and drifting in the streets! Would you ride this MTB?
With Wimbledon around the corner I decided to fit 32 Tennis ball's to each wheel and fit them to my mountain bike for the ultimate bike challenge. With the tennis tyres fitted to my Canyon stitched 720 slopestyle bike it was time to hit up Twisted oaks bike park and see what was possible with such tyres on my bike. After the the first ride down and easy trail I knew I was in for a fun day because It completed changed the way the bike moved around and it made cornering absolutely crazy! I proceeded to shred the bike park until a huge crazy on a barspin that made us change locations to a massive stair set of doom which worked surprisingly well. But that's not all, there was a bonus drift section to be had too! Would you ride this bike?
I hope you enjoy the video!

Everyone: I want grippy tires
Sam: SIDEWAAAAAYS
😆👌
sam's creativity is something else ngl 😂
Bike o’clock already did it
Real CZcams account
i never knew yt knew about mtb'ing
@@tryhardradim1920only on rear wheel though
Sad that commenting is literally somebodys job
I love how Sam always has his drill on hammer 🔨
sounds better
Just when you think he’s done it all, he rolls up with tennis wheels! Love it Sam
Sam never fails to impress with his incredible engineering skills EDIT: my comment got more likes than youtubes
Even though he uses his drill on hammer mode which is meant for masonry haha. Top lad though
Yeah he missed out on a great career there.
I’m convinced one day he’s gonna stumble on a major advancement. Imagine this idea executed on an actual tire. A real MTB tire but with separate segments that can flex independently to actually increase traction… just saying. Not a crazy idea. Sam is so close to genius that it’s scary
CANYON SHREDERER🎾
Sam should start engineering submersibles..he would be better than some people I've heard about lately
His brother should have a face cam. Love seeing his reactions to craziness!
My two hobbies are Mountain biking and Tennis, Just never occurred to me to put the two together in such a fun silly way LOL
SAME!
Never seen Sam struggle so much on a first run😂😂 love it
still better than me riding with proper tyres on a wet day 🤣
This is the future. Sam is far beyond our time.
Truth.
How he comes up with these ideas is beyond me.
Hey Sam! I watch you from few months at this point and I finally bought my first mountain bike (Orbea Laufey H10) because of you. Hoping I'm gonna be hitting some trails soon 😄
Keep shredding, Sam!
Yes dude, that's sick!!! SEND IT!!
hey dude! I'm thinking of buying the same bike as yours. How does it feel? Do you think it's worth it?
@@elcrackengaitos_bs4804 Hey Man! Like I stated in my original comment this is my first mountain bike (and a first serious bike) so I don't have much else to compare to. However! What I can say is that I absolutely love the bike! It feels great to ride, it looks great and it's really well made in terms of quality.
It's one of those bikes that are great overall with no major drawbacks. You don't have to replace anything in it after buying it. There's no budget parts. The frame's really well made and it's a strong base for upgrades in the future.
I did some research and everyone who tried it had very positive feedback. It even has 90/100 score at bikeride, being one of the best mountain bikes in it's price range.
I would say it's absolutely worth the price if you are planning to buy. I got mine with a hefty discount so it was a nobrainer for me and I am very happy with it! 😍The bike's incredible 🔥
@@SamPilgrim Sam you could use spring loaded Toggle-Bolts and not only may keep from losing a ball but ya only need to drill one hole in the balls, keeping the mud out of them. Love your tennis-ball tire idea!!😆😎👍
"Now I know how it works, let's go faster!". Full send as usual 😂
This Man can handle the sketchiest Stuff. I Love It. From that tricycle Driftbike to Weird Freebikes or that Tennis Ball Bike now. Love these Episodes Sam! TO THE SKYYYYYY
Don't forget the penny farthing 🤣 Dude's an awesome mix of crazy and skill
Yes I look forward to all downhill races being done with tennis ball tires!
haha! Imagine!
@@SamPilgrim hear me out:-
1 - there are different weights/strengths of tennis ball
2a- i reckon they'd work better if you could attach them without drilling?! (maybe stay bouncy and be less like a flat tyre)
2b- some "sticks like" or similar industrial glue could work, and also you can glue each ball together for stability/ durability
might still have to bolt a few of them in but maybe not all! tekkers going in
You should try filling the tennis balls with spray foam and maybe add some glue to the rims, because science!!! Awesome as always!
3:08 almost takes that tree head on, "let me aproach it faster" :))
I would never think of doing stairs of doom on these but you've got the _balls_ for it.
Yet again Sam serves up a epic video and aced The stairs it he double faulted when he crashed but game set and match goes to Lewi with the filming A few tennis puns in this one lol
Thanks for the constant awesome uploads!
I'm just grateful your still alive mate, some of the experiments you do with bikes are mad!
Love this guys energy
Love all these crazy things! Sam really inspires me to ride more and progress. Thanks so much man, u never fail to make me laugh!
Today was EPIC, Sam and Lewi y'all rock! Love the channel and content! Peace
LEGEND man thanks for the content and good vibes as always
We need a Beachball version now 😂 Pilgrim your legend 🥎 I would love to see what Dusty thinks about the new builds 😂
Final edit was wicked, you can see yellow slazenger debris flying off and the actual balls hah, looks sick!
Most ballsy riding i have ever seen. For real though you got skills
That was hilarious! Definitely more of that please.
u never fail to disappoint 🙌
looks absolutely insane 😂😂
Wow! That's crazy! Closest thing I've ever done to drift like that was bike down a hill on my grandpa's farm after harvest when the tractor had smashed all the straw flat. Slam on the brakes near the bottom and drift for 15 feet. I was about 13 and doing it on a 1970s kids bike with a banana seat lol. I miss those days.
You're outta control with this! I LOVE IT!!!
I'm a simple guy. I see Sam Pilgrim riding a bike with tennis ball tyres, i hit that like button ❤❤❤
Sam Pilgrim is an engineering genius.
😉
Very funny stuff here. You got a hearty chuckle from this guy.
I cant help but smile through any of these videos. I don't think Sam has ever experienced anything that wasn't amazing or the best. Living his best life
Awesome fun as usual with u Sam, but this time you were not the first one to come up with this idea. Props to guys from BIKE O'Clock and Damian Siriski who even fliped it... here is the link czcams.com/video/nHXWACGCMBg/video.html
Just want 1 like ❤😊

Instantly ordering the Orchrad T-Shirt. They look sick!! 🤙

Just discovered this channel. I love your personality and sense of adventure. +1 fan
Love the slow Motions and his face😂
you are EPIC man! love the content! your the new generation of TopGear on Bikes! XD
This guy is a trip, knows how to have fun........
I love these videos.
Absolute legend 😂
That’s Epic! 0:28 - 1:05
Loving seeing your creative process! (Can’t wait to see more 🤩🙌)
I'm glad you explained that; have often wondered how things come into your mind.
That looks so fun. Looking forward to rev 2 of the goodyear balltire
Love this guy! Balls of Steel!
Good job 👍
my mind wanted to create this madness
There are a lot of crazy things to be found on the internet but your channel Tops the Lot! Love It!
Liking this video doesn't seem enough! Brilliant!!
Crazy fool.....but we love ya man....keep doing it
Can't wait to see you on the centre court at Wimbledon!
First thing I thought about after seeing the first turns with full tennis balls was "please use a normal tire up front", man was I hyped at the end 😁
I watch every single one of your videos! I don’t know that I’ve laughed this hard at one! Great stuff mate!
You never fail to get me laughing with all your fun ideas 🤣😂. Id love to see what you could do with a unicycle 😀
EPIC content mate, lots of love from Australia
Love your vids Bro! You are a nut and one of a kind dude
It never fails to amaze how willing you always are to send it full speed, with complete disregard for your own safety. Fucking legend.
f'n fantastic! made my day for being the stunt pilot on this. 😂
sam this is just classic lol love it
We can’t stop cracking up laughing with the fly incident. Keeps the videos comings!
Fly bit at the end 😂😂
I did genuinely get worried for you on the stair set of doom but you handled it like the pro you are. I think you have invented an awesome training wheel that would let people get used to the feeling of the back wheel slipping out!
Comment il attaché les balles mettre des sous-titres frech svp
And this my friends, is truly an epic tubeless setup only Sam could come up with.
That worked way better than I expected! Awesome! 🍻
That stair set of doom was the first time I was concerned for the outcome but you nailed it
möge der Schutzengel immer bei Dir sein ! so verrückte stunts !!
Please make a part 2 this was incredible
The "Oh my God!" & berm at 7:12 had me crying man! 🤣🤣
I feel like the tennis balls have brought you down to human level. Keep up the superb work!
Your joy and accent make it fun
Sam you are the best ! Master of Science Fiction bikes :)
Most of us would flat out crashed on those wheels. Sam's balance and instant recovery is amazing.
Just ordered a shirt! I'm stoked you got some finally!
Glad too see dusty making a return to the channel
Most impressive thing for me was "hammer stand" at opening scene. Pills the legend whole video is outstanding 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍
That was proper wild Pilgs!
On hammer drill setting, Nice 👌🏼
Perfect editing on the Stairstep of Doom with the big chords from Wagner perfectly timed to the landings of the steps, and aided by puddles from recent rain. Not to mention the addition of a new word to the English language - `cuttyish'.
You've got balls man😂
I woke up today on a bit of a downer due to cost of living bs,
but i now have the Biggest smile on my face, omg....it looks soo ridiculous that it so cool, i can't imagine how it feels to ride you nutter Sam lol, I'm saving this video to my favourite playlist because i doubt will see anything like this again,
thank you for putting a big smile on my face👍
finally, have been waiting for this for a long time
That is some good magic Sam, because you even managed to make your hat disappear!
Pomysł w swej prostocie jest GENIALNY! Specjalne piłki, odpowiedni klej i przebicie opony nie stanowi już problemu.
Sideways is the new forward. Pure poetry 😂
Awesome designing.Looks hard to handle but would be fun to try😊❤❤❤
Oh man! I laugh so hard on this one!! Tennis ball wheels are brilliants!!! 🔥🔥
That raw drift tennis ball sound is so good
Got all 3 styles of Orchrad shirts coming to Arkansas USA! Need to make one with the tooth logo. Love your videos. You're the greatest thing since tennis ball wheels. Epic!
I saw this on your Instagram and had to come here to see the whole video. It did not disappoint hahaha.
LEGEND!!!!! 🙏
Awesome madness with the tennis 🎾 bike.
Orchrad shirt has been ordered
Only Sam would be able to ride wheels/tyres like this ❤🔥🤘
Loved this. I feel like it would be much better with only one hole in each ball rather than a hole all the way through. My guess is that it would feel less sluggish. Also, drilling the holes out with a sharpened metal tube of the proper diameter rather than a twist drill bit will help the holes to not tear out as easily. Best of luck. Thanks for the entertainment!
Damn Med-evil Jumps, Those Trees came Ready to in-pail you 😁👽👍🏻
amazing bike skill Sam.
OMG, I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I just did watching the tennis ball wheels! Just hilarious
