I FINALLY HAVE A DOWNHILL BIKE!

I finally have a downhill bike! My new Canyon Sender has arrived and with DH mountain biking being the Formula 1 of MTB I built this dream bike as fast as possible and testing it on a huge black level jump line! Would you ride this?
My new Canyon Sender CFR is here and what a beautiful machine this is with it's sleek looks and beautiful design I was mega excited to get this MTB built up and hit the local trails to see how well it performs in the air! Of course this is a downhill bike, so todays test wasn't the hardest but with a trip to Wales coming up very soon to ride downhill trails I thought i'd get out on it at Twisted Oaks bikepark first to see how it felt. I also fitted some Halo Gravitas wheels on there to make it fly even faster with the knowledge that they won't break!
Would you ride this?
I hope you enjoy the video!

Hey sam. Ive watched for a little while now. My dad used to love seeing you on tv and eventually bought his own dirt jumper. If you could say hi it would be amazing.

That’s sick!! Hi 👋

It'll be a sad day when you retire from the KZbin scene. Absolutely mad how you're still shredding and putting out consistent, quality content. For that, I appreciate every video!

SAM ON A DH BIKE! AT LAST

[@neilbathe7752]

You know the bike fell off the side-by-side because after strapping it down outside the Post Office you didn't ping the strap and confidently state "that's not going anywhere", don't you? Dad Laws exist for a reason 😃

😂😂

[@skippy710]

This was pretty funny video had to rewatch it 😂

[@victoravina409]

True that

[@brodymcaleese8585]

I think a trip to dyfi needs to happen with that beast

[@Montytobin]

yesss

[@Arbigale]

The bike should have assembled by itself when the box fell😅😅😅

[@SamPilgrim]

😂😂

[@johncast9565]

He did the "Peoples Elbow" on that box.

[@shaunlong5393]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 would have been real magic that hahahaha

[@Kmortisk]

"I've got a new DH bike. Now let's pump up the forks and shock so they don't move." You know he's thinking that :D

[@stirfrybry1]

LOL When you got hammer, everything's a nail

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

lol and pump the tires 69psi

[@user-vz3zc7qc6c]

Bro Sam is an actually good celebrity/athlete/mountain biker. I actually enjoy his videos. It’s fun to watch. Sam if you see this just know that you are a huge factor in why I started mountain biking and Bmxing and extreme sports in general

[@NeuronMTB]

Sams slow motion impressions never let you down

[@ashleytombs]

Yes yes yes after literally a year of begging and begging Canyon has finally delivered Sam the sender Canyon you have made my year

[@paulcartwright7228]

This dude deserves every Canyon bike they make, so much natural ability 🙌🏼

[@ashleytombs]

@@paulcartwright7228 yeah definitely what Sam has done in his competition days is truly amazing first person in competition to land the flat drop flip and a FMB world champion and many many other competition wins to his name A true UK DJ legend

[@paulcartwright7228]

@@ashleytombs 💯 👍🏾 he makes everything look easy

[@ashleytombs]

@@paulcartwright7228 yeah he does Plus considering his age as well but still manages to pull off some amazing tricks Superman’s Seat grabs flip whips and very very rarely throws down 7s

[@ashleytombs]

@@paulcartwright7228 yeah he does that’s his experience of doing competitions what’s even more impressive he is 32 and still supple enough to do the tricks that he does The downside is that it takes a lot longer for him to recover from a long day filming his videos I can relate to this I’m the same age and recovering from a long day street riding takes a while that’s for sure

[@Stuarttttt]

Sam! I wanna see you on WETHEPEOPLE’S SWAMP MASTER. it’s a full suspension bmx bike! Dual crown forks, rear shock and everything. Shit looks like you’d have such a blast on it in an urban or downhill environment

[@Tomidsch]

CONGRATS ON 2 MILLION FOLLOWERS!

[@stirfrybry1]

Criminally underrated

[@Ghostjack5]

To the sky 🎉 go on lad!!!

[@andrewsupernova]

So sick, love you, your videos and your personality bro. Such a legend!!

[@leonardhpls6]

Canyon must love how half there bikes go in the bin for different parts 😂

[@kgraham64kg]

a lot of bikes get that treatment. There's a reason a lot come without pedals 😂

[@catalinpaul2617]

not just for bikes, this goes for every machine, thing, which the owner wants more pro, dedicated or custom stuff. If I could afford a Lambo Huracan I'd strip it away and buy a Mansory kit, or a Liberty Walk kit :))

[@stefanberic5669]

Congrats man, sick bike. Happy to see you with your big smile 😀!!

[@CoachTrifes]

i would so love to see a modern darkfest appeareance by you ! get the big bike action going yeah

[@StevoDaCreepo]

Congratulation to your'e new bike. Very nice Video, thx and i wait for Shredding the lines❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TerminusCodex]

It's so awesome to see Sam riding for canyon, the bikes are sick and he'll now have the right tool for any type of riding he wants to do!

[@RobsNeighbor]

I am working my tail off to get a bike again! Thank you for the great videos Sam!

[@HOV4N]

@1:05 nice elbow drop on the Canyon box!! 😂🤼💪

[@matejgrim]

I love how even tho there's so much business going on (free bikes, merch showoff, sponsors), the videos are still well fun with the clean soul of yours😁 Glad you didn't become the bad kind of a sellout. To the sky!🤘🔥

[@chasendirtmtb]

That’s awesome Sam! Still my favorite rider! I have a small channel and am obviously not anywhere as good as you but your for sure one of my reasons for trying to make good videos!

Really interesting to see the unboxing and assembly.

[@nitbot]

What a dream bike, total freeride machine! Congrats, take this bike to Dyfi and the Alps and whatnot, that's where it deserves to be ridden

Oh yeah 100% coming later in the year!

That bike is so sick. Also fully deserved they send you the top spec. I have a neuron cf ltd from Canyon. Now I also need to have a strive for enduro and a sender for dh parkdays haha. Only thing that Sam deserves now is his own unique design with Canyon.

Sick rig dude , can't wait to see you send it , , , to the sky 😎🤘

[@dvs620]

I bought a used bike and it had Deathgrips on it. They are great. Shout-out Brendog. I wanted to replace those with neon yellow grips to match the trim color on the bike. Deathgrip didn't make them in that color. So after looking for something that seemed similar, I bought Pilgrips. Sorry Brendog, but Pilgrips are superior. Doesn't mean Deathgrips aren't great, just that Pilgrips are awesome. And a steal at the price, even with international shipping to the US. Everyone, if you want a tacky feel, with a soft grip that doesn't cost a lot, get Pilgrips.

[@alexerioeduardo2844]

It's official.. dh rigs are back in fashion!

The universe has just cosmically aligned in total awesomeness as Sam has finally been placed back in the saddle of the ultimate shredding machines from buggies to down hill weapons, all has been made well as even Lewi now gets to contemplate how many absolute bangers and hilarious situations Canyon has just offered to the family Pilgrim. 😎👍
