- The free bike challenge - Final ever episode! The final free bike challenge is here where I upgrade and customise a land rover ladies bike and send it on MTB trails, urban freeride spots and skateparks! But will it last?
The free bike challenge has been the longest series on this channel and has amassed a huge number of views across the 30 previous videos in the series, but I'm finding it very hard to find good free bikes (as you can imagine) so I decided to make this the final ever episode and a new more exciting series will be taking its place as you will learn about in this video. But getting back to this episode I find myself with a ladies land rover bicycle that looked pretty un-usable before I upgrade it to the max with new forks, wheels, cranks, bars and everything but the frame, which has a good bit of character. I love a good bike build so it seemed rather fitting to upgrade this bike and see what it would perform like across various different terrain including dirt jump, MTB trails and urban freeride spots, but will this bike out live the series or will it get destroyed. Cast your votes now!!
I hope you enjoy the video!

pleeeassse, keep this bike running - would absolutely love to seee you riding this beast again!!
YES, this Akasha is a real bad ass beast.
more, more, more,....😎🤟
Yes please I wann See IT too that formula 1 akasha
spend some money on it and make it the first episode of the next series??
Please keep the Sneeze alive.
Compete with it!
LAST EVER?! Too bad! Cheap bike challenge will be just as good, though!
He's about to be inundated with free bikes.
I that big word means like covered in em. Might be using it wrong.
If not better.
You mean, exactly the same. 🤣
7:46 "this is dreams, just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride... ugghhhh" hahahhah I love it
My favorite thing about Sam.... There is not a bike on the planet that he can't find something he digs about it. That is a true love of cycling. He is proof it ain't the bike, it's the rider.
Cheap bike challenge sounds like the Bicycle equivalent to Top Gear's Cheap car challenge, I love that!
fUCK tOP gEAR AND cLARKSON!
Can call it 12th gear 😅
And on that bomb shell
Lol🤣🤣
Yeah challenge between them who can get furthest on the cheapest bikes while having a trick checklist on the way.
7:49 Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride *BOOM* AAUGH
Funniest part of the whole video
You are a charming man, Sam, and your joy is infectious! If only more people would go outside with their bike and play.
“A few moments later” Sam’s French accent cracked me up 😂😂😂
Cheep bike challenge sounds like a fun series aswell! Love the vids as usual, keep it up!
Thanks a lot!! 😁👍
Cheep cheep 🐥😂
@@sjv6598 well shit didn't see that one coming lol
I think marzocchi supermonster would fit perfectly on this street beast.
he should get one
To be honest supermonster is my wet dream xD
the head angle would be like 40° hahahhaa
Only Sam can build a bike that can creak instantly and by default. A skill that he has been perfecting for years. Epic! Haha.
Absolutely keep the Land Rover running mate!!!
That single speed hack proper blew my mind. I’m so 11/10 glad I watched this video right now 😍😍
Yo!! Glad you liked it :)
It was inspired.
You inspired me to put drop bars and a rigid fork on my 29"er hardtail. I had so much fun today and set a strava personal record. (It was insane and made my old trail fun again)
Sick!!
Sounds awesome. I do stuff like that alot. Keep it weird bro
Keep the Freelander going, I wanna see it pimped ridden HARD.
Keep the bike going! We haven’t seen you whip it yet 🤣
Imagine if Sam was an engineer: "Boeings new plane designed by Sam Pilgrim, the plane crashed 5 times while driving out of the hangar, Sam says one wing is sooo goood, it's the dream" :P
😂🤣👍
No stairs of doom though 🤣
Those would be the stairs used for boarding...
"Luckily theres a sander right here"... Love the creativity of everything as always Sam! lol
ALSO...RIP to your finger dude, thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Please do this more often, its amazing, specially with massive forks on it!!
These videos rule, I hope you do more. Definitely do another vid on this bike. It’s a good laugh!
We need pt2 for sure!!
11:11 was the funniest thing I’ve seen EVER. From now it is compulsory that ALL jumps on bikes should be accompanied by a cry of the bike name.
It was like a samurai cry )))
yes sam, keep the biking running, would love to see it again!!!
Yes, would love to see it again, with original paintjob! :)
God that title nearly gave me a heart attack! Glad to hear it's kind of staying around!
At first I was shocked, but I calmed down when I heard, that the new free bike challange is the cheap bike challange 😁😉
Ride it! It's a lot of fun to watch. The kids love it too! Wee!
That was extremely entertaining. Only you Sam could compare the lines of the Akasha to a Formula One car. This has to be the one video where you hurt yourself more getting the bike ready to ride than actually on the ride. The abrupt stop at the skate park made me feel greatful that it's a step through bike. I for one definitely want to see you bring it back out because the bike is never truly destroyed until you truly destroy it. Glad to see the traditional Sam Pilgrim sander was once again deployed.
more of this beast please sam, would love to see it
I appreciate you never swear. Hope it did'nt hurt too much. Looking forward to part 2. 😀
YES! Definitely more of that bike! Would be awesome to see it on some proper trails as well!
AKASHA!!! 🤣Sam, me and my kids have become freebike fundamentalists thanks to your mentorship.
Another EPIC DAY with the one and only Sam pilgrim!!!! 🔥
Sam should come to Alaska and shred some trails!
Gonna miss the Free B episodes! Hope you enjoyed the last one!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yes please! This bike is sick! I really wanna see a huge tabletop and a fufanu if you get brakes!
Sam smashing his hand brings back too many memories. This bike looks stupidly good with all the mods on it 10/10 would shred
Always so informative watching Sam use his legendary bike maintenance skills!😂
Was kinda cringy how he butchered the fork but thanks god the bike gods took revenge at him @ 4:00 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely mod it! I kinda love the way the frame looks. Keep ripping!🔥
You absolutely KILL me with your humor. HOW MANY TIMES I've jammed my hand up against the chainring while TRYING to remove cranks.
My add on would have to be brakes... But I have common sense. 😉
Yes we want to see this rig again
Love the content as always! Looking forward to part 2 with shorter forks and a brake setup 👌
If I could i would send you my father's old Atala to see you give it a new life send it and shred it! 🤟🏻 Much Love from Italy keep up Sam 🤙🏻
You may need to tune up your thumb detector. It's not designed for locating fingers!
Can't wait to see what you come up with for the cheap bike challenge, bound to be laughs aplenty.
LMAO I loive your sanding method for cut pipes, "rub it on the concrete!"
Love these videos. Making the most of the cheap/free bikes is great. shows that you dont need to spend a fortune to have a good laugh on a bike.
Damn this episode is a killer. hahahaha. I want to see that frame ridden to oblivion to be honest. Hope u bring it back in the future.
Yes man jump that thing. Free bike challenge are the best!
AKASHA!!!!! Defo keep riding it. I want to see it shredded until the structural integrity of the frame buckles.
I would love to see this bike customised, so you can really send it with the bike. I'm pretty curious what this thing can withstand 🤔
i love how the only thing that broke is the high end wheel lmao
the frame is invincible
and yes please keep the bike alive
Technically speaking, the derailleur bent and broke the wheel, but regardless. Yes mod this bike and thrash it til it dies!
“so the low frame encompasses the sort of visual aspects that youd expect from a formula 1 car” absolutely amazing quote by Sam 😂
good fun again. Yes keep the bike running. Possibly until it's trashed.
You can see it in hes Face that he loves doing these! Keep it up bro:)
/s
Your the man bro. Keep up the dope vids
Pimp that ride Sam! We need to see a proper free bike send off!
Hell yeah, Mod that thing out and shred it HARD, Thank you.
Sam is like me repairing my bike when i was 7 years old 😂
always wondered why there wasnt more of the freeb vids, never crossed my mind that it was just harder and harder to find free bikes lol. BRING ON THE CHEEEBS (cheap bike)
you know sam, that chewbacca "to the sky" never gets old. Oh yes, you have ride that proper landrover more because it's not destroyed yet ;)
Yep...more of this beauty please!
The Akasha is the ultimate FUN MACHINE! It must live!
Nothing speaks of great confidence like....Landrover....Freelander lol Send it!
I can't wait to see the Akasha on some epic trails and freeride lines
OMG thank you for not really ending it. Massively entertaining. Best bike channel.
Yes… more on that bike. I was cracking up out loud! Love these vids.
Yes Sam.. we want to see the land rover again!👍
Yes! We'd love to see more of the free bike challenge.
Yes, let's keep this bike around Sam!! It's gonna be epic!!
Holy shit !!! The pipe slicer is absolute genius thanks for the idea, I have like 4 spacers on my bike 🤣🤣👍👍👍
Hi Sam, Keep the free bike rocking, Cant wait to see some more with the UPGRADES!!
This frame is awesome. Find proper components that will not brake and bring it... TO THE SKY!!!!!!
Spray in monster green. Rebuild and go again, hells yeah
Oh for sure I second the motion to see more akasha shredding. Oh wait…more like 42nd that motion😄. Ps the back rack on it is so👌🏼. Great stuff Sam.
The humor and editing were prime for this episode. I also want to see much more from this bike!
Heck yeah, do it mate! 🤘
Of course we want to see it again Sam !
Such a BEAST! That bike was EPIC!!! ITS MONNYTIMMMMME!!!!!
Love to see more of this Sam! Keep up the great work 👊
Part 2 needed to finish this off... but roll on the cheap bike episodes... this land rover bike needs to go "to the skkkyyyy" heaven for all your other free bikes you've filmed 🎥 😀
Film the restoration process! Same care and precision as the fork swap! I can just imagine the wincing faces of bike mechanics across the world.
Gets hurt by the smallest boo boo but does insane deathly jumps XD ..love it!
Also Land Rover stickers.
Keep doing cheap bike challenges. I'm getting back into Mountain bikes because of you and your brother mate.
Thank you 🙏🏼
YES! Also a 10min montage of Sam fitting forks haha
Yes, please do that, I just want to see you fit forks again!!
I would love to see a pilgrim bike mechanic series!
Definitely keep the bike mods videos going... makes for best viewing pleasures 🙏 ☺️
Bring 'er back for another video- I love it.
Keep running the bike! Great work as always. I watch the building the bike segment, I think to myself why cant I find a good mechanic like you around here.
I'd like to see this bike shredding again. Also, watching you engage in bike mechanics fills me with both joy and fear.
Akasha! 1st of its name ... love it!
Would love to see that bike again!
Loving the content. So funny and knowledgeable. Get your tools sorted!!!
Cool Hand Luke on the steerer tube.
Cheap bike challenge is the best! Do your thing Sam! The world loves it!
Definitely do it again!
4:41 that's some edgar wright-esque cinematic shots there. Dream
Of course we wanna see that sort of stuff!
Sam i laughed my head off, When you smashed your hands up,So funny bro! JIMMY.😂
YES !!! Would love too see it again!
Sam, this whole episode was a Finale! thanks for 15 minutes of absolute joy!
