  • This bike cost £50 how long will it last? - Cheap bike challenge is back and this full suspension mountain bike gets the hardest ride of it life to see how long it will actually survive for, would you ride this cheap MTB?
    The cheap bike challenge series is back and i found an absolute beauty for this episode, say hello to the £50 full suspension bike with a front disc brake and a rear v brake setup that barely works. The front suspension is also mega wobbly and the interenals have been pushed out, so it seems only right to head over to twisted oaks bike park and hit the biggest MTB lines they have and hope the bike doesn't break on impact. After surviving the bike park it was time to head into the urban environment and hit some urban freeride locations and crazy stair sets of doom. But for how long will this bike keep rolling? To finish off the video I get out my Canyon Stitched cfr TRIALS bike and shred!! Would you ride this bike if you found it?
    I hope you enjoy the video!

    what keeps bringing me back to this channel is the way that it nonchalantly celebrates the way that when you've built up an incredible amount of skill, you can have a great time regardless of equipment, and you're less likely to face consequences for your idiocy. Love it. Makes me want to go out and practice practice practice.

    Sam, truly a master of the bike and how to have fun on said equipment. He can literally turn any bicycle/tricycle into the ultimate fun machine whether for urban, trails or tracks. It truly is an art form and they are absolutely masters of it. Yes please Sam a full trials bike video would be awesome!

    I have to say this is the only yt channel which doesn't annoy me with ads. They are well integrated, short and funny, in a way that sometimes you almost don't even notice them or in a way that you even want to buy the stuff. I even bought Monster, even though I usually prefer healthy groceries. 😂
    I usually hate ads and I have a CZcams abo to see as less as possible. If ads would always be that funny and well integrated in the content, I wouldn't have to put so much effort into avoiding them.
