- The cheap bike challenge - $148 Las Vegas Edition - I buy a cheap mountain bike from Walmart and push the limits on urban MTB freeride lines, pump tracks, jumps and even a skatepark and see how long this MTB can last!
I was over in Las Vegas, USA for a quick trip on the way home from Mexico and decided to go buy a bike from a Walmart Supercenter and shred it until it breaks to find out how long such a bike can last. I start the video off in a drainage ditch somewhere on the outskirts of Vegas, where I find out that the bike is pretty good. From here I headed to a pump track that was filled with loads of jumps and features to ride and got this cheap full suspension bike airborne and pulled off a few tricks. I then modified the bike to allow barspins before moving into the Las Vegas strip where I found I pretty fun stair set of doom to rip down before heading to old vegas. After exploring the lights I then found a small skatepark where the bike was sent quite heavily and I found the limits of what this bike can do! Would you ride this?
I hope you enjoy the video!

In a world of mountain bikers complaining about how they couldn't do something cause they need a better bike, Sam has proved them wrong time and time again. Love it!
yes, but maybe with stronger wheels? ;D
You don’t need an expensive bike but it sure does help I went from a Walmart bike to a polygon d7
@@archiewhistler442 true
Yes most of them aren’t professional riders either
These bikes are lucky to last a day
I admire Sam's endless optimistic attitude
"I think I can suicide it" what I think Sam is attempting every time I see a cheap bike challenge! Love it
😂
⚰️
i love it too the cheap bike challanges 🤯
@@SamPilgrim must be nice to be able to have the money to not have to return the bike to Walmart lol 😆 it broke... 90 day return policy lol merica.
@@AquarianSoulTimeTraveler Should have left the receipt next to it.
I really love that Sam promotes just riding what you have, regardless of the price or brand. Much love sir!
Agree
He just loves riding, a true fanatic
People love to blame their bikes for not riding more/ harder but this just goes to show the biggest factor is always the rider
"im not sure if i can ride here"....as he crawls thru a hole in the fence lol...great riding as usual🤘
Never get tired of these cheap bike challenge videos or any videos you upload keep them coming!
simple things amuse simple minds.
@@perspectivedetective2703 aye just like replying nonsense to random CZcams comments 😅 negativity won't bring inner peace my friend go take a look in the mirror.
@@ExploreWithSamx "negativity won't bring inner peace" says who? Please define "inner peace" What makes you think i want inner peace? I look in the mirror everyday???
@@perspectivedetective2703 You really need to grow as a person, I have no time for you good day sir.
@@perspectivedetective2703 I hope you go to a mental hospital.
Sam walking to the checkout looks like probably one of the proudest Walmart bike owners 😁
Funny that he put it in a trolley..! 😄
@@ReturnOfTheGhoulScouts and in the trash at the end.
@@Wile-E-Coyote_Super_Genius 😄
If you matained it a little could it lasted a bit longer?
What I like from Sam the most is that he a grown adult man having fun and being creative with his bike as if his was in his teenage days. Just like many of us guys 😂
I will turn 61 in January 2023, and I still ride my bike like I am a teenager. Feel like it too. I love to ride and have ridden my whole . Sam has inspired me to try some tricks. Nothing too fancy yet. I am dreaming of whistler, on a days drive away. - Cheers
This is the power of passion, it keeps you young and feeling strong ^_^
Hell yeah growing up is a scam
@@joeshmoe7967 In my mid 30s and if health accompanies me, I'll be doing the same at your age. Let's keep riding!
@@jacobskovsbllknudsen5908 for sure
The cheap bike challenge always just seems to give Sam the biggest smile as he constantly surprises himself as to how long the bike can last.
Sam, you could ride a wheelbarrow and still think it’s “the best thing ever”. Pure dreams. Thanks for your positivity.
This man is a masterpiece! A great specimen of a man born for CZcams! 😂 Never fails to crack me up, lol.
Glad you like the vids mate!! 🤙
I love your joy and positivity. We need more Sam Pilgrims
You're a legendary entertainer, Sam! Keep up the great work, mate!
Thanks man!
Love it that while he’s walking out the people at the skate park are already taking it for parts😂
Riding thru Old Vegas covered mall - betcha the security swarmed you right after that bit! They're like dragons
Your skills , ideas and your personality combined with Lewi's filming skills never fail to entrain us definitely the best content on YT, keep it up dude 🔥🤙 to the skyyyyyyy!!!
Hey Sam. Las Vegen. Super great to see your posts. Thoroughly enjoyed the episode before this along with this one. Thank you! From Craig.
i love the positive energy you put out in the universe and i only hope to be half the man you are eventually. thanks man.
I love it , a locked fence he squeezes thru and puts his bike over fence and says I’m not sure we can ride here. Classic,😂
Love you vids and the effort you put into it
The insane stuff Sam can do on any bike he picks up is just another level of skill 😂
Always taking it to the next level for us at home love your work Sam
Thanks for sharing brother! Really appreciate getting to smile at lunch!
Sam and Lewi y'all rock! Love how Sam can just go to Walmart and buy 148$ bike and shred it! Love it! Peace
This video was so fun to watch because this is the only bike I have to ride! So great seeing you do all those tricks on it because that just inspires me since I know they can be done! Might skip the flare though...
I love when your here in the States, it would be the dream if you went to local trails that are the most popular and give the locals a thrill, especially in so cal.
Love the videos Sam 👌 always a good watch! Hopefully you visit New Zealand one day 🙂🚲
I loved the cheap bike you done whistler on, didn't even break. Epic !!
Guys got such a positive attitude, love yer vids m8 👍
Brilliant! Love you positivity and it's good to see the cheaper end of the scale taking some abuse, I'd just hate for you to hurt yourself!
Thanks Sam for the video , you rock man!!
Love the videos Sam! Thanks for visiting my home town.
Hope you are having fun in Vegas and love you content
love it Sam, every video is a banger!
Love the cheep bike challenges 👌 😀
i just found your channel and man i love your filming style!
sam being amazed by american pavement is hilarious, also seeing sam so brightly lit is interesting too
Hey you won a gift 🎁 ☝️☝️🎊🎊...
England has epic MTB trails and skateboard parks.....jealous of our drainage ditches.
excellent derailuer tip. excellent. thanks Sam.
Amazing vid as usual. Just finished watching this one & hope the next vid is as epic as this one. Cant wait.
Cheers dude!
@@SamPilgrim your welcome m8. Happy shredding 👍
I just want o make a quick PSA. if you do get a cheap bike, and I dont suggest you do, but if you do you have to go around and do a bolt check frequently make sure its not loose, especially the quill stem, the whole thing is held together with one long bolt and if that loosens your front wheel and your bars will separate directions and you will faceplant the earth. happened to me when I was 14, I still have a scar for life, wear a helmet too
The "to the sky" ending always makes me laugh man. Good stuff 🤘😆
It's amazing that cheap department store bikes haven't changed in price since I was a kid in the early 1980s. For example, a cheap Huffy, Kent, Murray, etc., BMX when I was a kid was around $100 in say, 1983, and 40 years later, they are still around $100 (I think the cheapest Huffy 20" BMX is $78 right now on Walmart's website), even though $100 in 1983 translates to $305.90 in 2023 according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI inflation calculator.
God no matter how much money he spends on bikes he still can do tricks and other stuff without expensive stuff. Just shows that expensive isn't always the best. Great video!
Sick video, interesting weather engineering in the background
You will never fail to amaze me sam
Wonderful as always Sam. It is always good fun to watch you grease steazy lines and sick air on completely rubbish bicycles. You are a brave man. You would think that chunk carved out of your arm would learn you, but know. That is Exactly why I love ya Brother! You push the limits every time you ride. Sam if you find your self in Ogden Utah I could show you a Rad jump park up on the hills above the town of Ogden that is brilliant. Ogden is north of Salt Lake City. If you want to find me look for "Mark Peterson Fat Bike" and you should be able to message me. It is a bucket list thing to meet you Sir. It would truly be an honor. Cheers Sir.
I guess the more you are smooth on your bike the longer the bike it would stay. Sam has proofed it with his smoothest skill on bike.
Love these videos! You are the freaking man Sam.... like seriously I'd love to meet you and have a beer or two
Sure i'll see you out and about one day!
Love how you praise the bike 😎👍
Never cease to amaze!
As someone who can only afford a cheap bike, seeing someone ride one just to enjoy it is so refreshing
2023 man I'm just addicted to your videos lol from new 1s to old they hold it well
So I just learned to ride a bike last week ( I'm in my 30s) you are such an inspiration dude, now I'm hooked any tips for a total beginner.
''Let's go and destroy this bike'' has a funny ring to it 😂☠
Got sooooo many LOLs from this video... Sam you ROCK!... you ripped Vegas a new A-hole! 🤣
Hey Sam that Walmart is near my house and thank for putting East Las Vegas on your channel you ROCK keep it up!!!!!
Everytime i watch this mans videos it puts a smile on my face
Clank Clank😂😂 I love your energy!
I love this series this video was sick
Yo Sam, if you swing by SF - plz do a collab with braille skateboarding! That would be so rad, epicness would be through the roof! ✌✌
Lake Mead loop, spring mountain, Mt Charleston climb and red rock. Love me some Vegas rides. Honorable mention: Public firing range at the top of Decatur St.
Sick video as always Sam!
Sam its awesome seeing you hit the Henderson bike park again. I went last year just because of you. Its a fun spot.
Please come up an hour and a half to St George Utah with the snake hallow bike park. I challenge you to ride my FrankenGoose there
Привет Сэм. Спасибо за видео. Поднимаешь настроение!
Another grate video Sam 🧲👍👍⚓️
Love your videos, keep it up!
BEST SERIES EVERRR
Love the cheap bike challenges! Would love to see what a cheap 90s bike would take from Sam 😂 GT zaskar vs Sam pilgrim 😂🙏🏻
When i was a kid my local Halfords had a Zaskar race frame up on a stand and it was like the holy grail at the time. I used to think it was the best bike at the time because it was just a frame, where every other bike was complete. Ha
Love your videos dude🙏🏽💯
I remember when you filmed how I see it Las Vegas with cardy and did the same features loved that
Love the vids sam 🤙
That pump track gave me the fear for some reason, WOOOO!!
It would be so cool seeing sam shredding a good retro 26 hardtail 🔥🔥
I admire you for saving tred on the bike by using Walmarts cart through the store and to the car. Great video!
Cheap bike challenges are my favorite!
Big big love sam,
You are welcome in the US, forever,
❤️
Niceeeeee, great sky ending as always.
You know, you could probably take the bike with all the "extra parts" and take it back to Walmart and most likely get your money back.
That was a great vid😁
Used to ride those ditches with my friends when we were kids. We didn’t peek over the top as much since we were trying to avoid cops trespassing us.
Sick as always 🔥🔥
Bike like mine 😂. But you still do the jump and tricks.... Yay 🙌
Great fan from nepal .love the way you ride and your contents
New to MTB, just randomly stumble across Sams videoa and i glad i did... Supper entertaining and full of great tips.! Love the helmet.... Anyone know where i can get it?! Keep doing great work Sam!
I love it when he says "this beast"
& "it's the best"!!!
Hey you won a gift 🎁 ☝️☝️🎊🎊...
I love that you put the bike in the shopping cart! 😂😂😂
I loved your Mexico content keep it up
We’ve been waiting for the cheap bike challenge!🤣🤣 u should come here to ARizona we have some of the sickest trails u can ride and BK and the Pivot racing team are all here.. come down and hangout and get some riding

i grew up riding those while my friend had some norco, specialized and stuff, was always following them haha
Man, so wish I could have ran into you and shred along… Vegas style!
the flare attempt is sick on cheap bike
Awe-sam video Sam! 👍🏻😅💥🙏🏻
I'm headed to Vegas in May and I'm definitely bringing a bike with me for the first time. Looking for ideas of places to ride. Thanks Sam!
Just don't try to ride it down Freemont St like Sam did lol.
@@qtipextra BMX on the strip sounds fun.
Top stuff as usual chief
Awsome been way too long since you did one of these !!!
No Bootleg Canyon laps on the cheap bike?!! A great video none the less.
Home sweet home! I was really hoping that you would have taken it down Mt.Charleston or Bootleg canyon 😮
One of my favorite series sick 🤟
Glad ya like the vids!
Yooo that is so sick! That pumptrack is 10 mins away from me...damnnn i want to meet my Idol!!!
