HOW HARD CAN I RIDE A WOODEN BIKE UNTIL IT SNAPS?

How hard can I ride a wooden bike until it snaps? I challenge myself to land some big tricks on my custom wooden mountain bike on a BMX race track with rollers and jumps before hitting a skatepark! But how long will it last?
Today I woke up and decided that my wooden bike needed to be ridden super hard and pushed to the limits of what is capable on a bicycle made of wood so I took it to the lovely Braintree BMX race track to use on some of the jumps and rollers as a good start to the video and to get the bike warmed up! After some big moves disaster struck and with the bike in pieces (it snapped) we needed an idea so operation fix wooden bike was formed. We raced home via a big field for drifting in my V8 truck in before coming back home and making the best modification to the bike yet. After some skillful fixing the bike was back up and running and I still had a challenge left to perform, the tailwhip! But was it possible!?
I hope you enjoy the video!

That was very generous of Lewi to skip doing the 360, to allow Sam more ride time.

[@TheMrbrookster]

That was a true look of disappointment as he announced that change in plan.

[@castielrocks906]

I love how Sam just keeps on doing a trick until he cracks it, injuries or not!

[@843Reboot]

hes immune to injury. in israel he hit a rock with his back and was completely uninjured. i think the monster made him invincible. bro has a cheatcode we dont know about

[@ericcartmansstrengthandpow5960]

In both bike mechanics and wood working your work is always so precise. RESPEK.

[@Franksey180]

Imagine how painful that bike would have been if you hadn't skillfully sanded the edges on it, saved yourself even more damage with that craftsmanship.

[@nathanricetalks]

This has to be the most Sam Pilgrim video yet :D

[@theghostofjupiter]

You should try a bamboo bike from the Philippines :)

[@Dex99SS]

The most incredible thing about all of these episodes, is Sam's ability to adapt to the weirdest shit. This long, wooden, HEAVY in the end, odd wooden concoction. Various cheap bikes, huge wheel bikes, trikes, quad bikes (not atvs, bikes), and so much else. And in all these cases the physics, placement of components, weight, behavior in every possible sense, is just being rewritten on the fly.. and the dude just masters any and everything. It's stupid impressive.

[@christophersmith8028]

“Irwin’s well strong” haha Sam is a legend and has a vibe that’s as good as it gets. Cheers and happy riding!

[@righteousbob272]

The man himself got the tailwhip! Your blood and pain is appreciated by the viewers live and online!

[@joshuambean]

Man I'm in tears over here I'm laughing so hard. There's nothing quite like someone hurting themselves just a little bit, but also still finding it funny as well. Just an absolute legend! I did send you a DM on Instagram with a sweet bike where the back wheel is cut in half so there's two halfs that rotate around. It's pretty insane looking.

Sam you are a legend, please don't die because of a weird bike snapping while you shred it too hard :D. You are the kevin talbot of MTBing.. always shredding and sending things to the moon and enjoying it.
