Dude you are mad in a positive way. It is so fun to watch your crazy stuff! Thanx keep it going Sam!

youve gotta love that hes using a concrete cutting wheel too. awesome and classic pilgy as we know him

Same here :-D

"There are some things that are not worth it, just for a clip... This isn't one of those things, I'm gonna flip it right now" 🤪 😂 By far my favorite quote!

[@siikiisiikii5572]

yes, that waS PURE fun

[@crazycjk]

Loved it! Now do a stairset of doom challenge where you raise the seat 1" every time!!! Might need an extra long seatpost!

[@cheesierglint02]

YES

[@willjones7132]

Crack a Mony is always hilarious. Can't believe you are shredding with fixie style bars from '08, and then riding bar-less around a pump track! More brakeless would be cool to see, after doing it for a few years I have great respect for it, as well as knowing how good and free it feels to ride that way, especially doing manuals(as long as you stay away from large hills!), shoe's don't last though. Always a good day when the two best comedy riders post; no substitutes for Sam Pilgrim and Ronnie Mac.

[@BananaMonstaaaa]

I would actually love to see Sam's impersonation of a salty bike messenger

[@mauricebruns1028]

“Might have cut it too far”, he says - when there is virtually no bar left 😄😄🤣

That’s fantastic. I alway knew handle bars were a money grab by the big bike industry.

[@jd32k]

😆

[@jonriordan649]

Ahhhh! I kept wincing at the start of every trick, expecting those tiny bars to slam into your ribs on landing. Great job, again, of not dying!

[@ManWalksDogs]

Especially once he'd ditched the Pilgrips and had the potential to gore himself on exposed, roughly cut metal tubing...😬

[@chrisridesbicycles]

My brain after the 5th or so cut: „Damn, that‘s still wider than we had in the early 90s and no brakes is also not far off“. 😂 What about a 90s challenge. With how many sets of barends can you still ride?

[@ronniefnd]

That's what I was thinking. Late 80's early 90's is was about how narrow you could run now it's how wide you can possibly get.

[@TeejTubeU]

So, so true. My 1992 Diamond Back Topanga was about the same as the worst we're seeing here. Narrow and no rise.

[@Anybloke]

I still use stubby bar ends on my commuter.

[@radiocontrolled9181]

[@Aphisics]

I allways see lads with bikes and angle grinders, They must be doing this challenge too!

[@joski9030]

Ah I see what you did there 😂

[@dvs620]

Sam: Nearly dies going off a curb with tiny bars. Also Sam: Immediately sends it down a Stairset of Doom with those same bars.

[@alfieturner9356]

Had me in stitches Sam. Good effort filming and posting today as well. Good laugh on Boxing Day. Quality riding as well 👍

[@jro341]

Always bring a smile to our faces. Cheers.

[@aurelienheinrich]

Empiric knowledge by the word. Some people think they are under biked, with all the restrictions ut implies, some other over biked think that their bikes allow them so much more room for progress than they actually can. And then there is Sam, always putting things into perspective, with his humour and going the absurd way. Not only the pure skill of the rider but also the level of fun can indeed trigger some magical moments. Thank you Sam for reminding us about that, practice and fun. To the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, and uuuuuuuuup SAM !!

[@theamateurbunch5006]

You should do a video called "How much can you shred on a bikepacking trip" You load up you ebike (or perhaps a Haibike touring ebike) with all kinds of bags and then see how much you can shred along the way. Im shure Haibike is keen on the idea since they just sponsored a bikepacking video on GCN. You could get some fun footage jumping around on a fully loaded bike. Stairways of doom in slomo speaks for itself.

[@rick4677]

santa stole his ebike ☹️😖😔😔

[@david94549]

Wheelies with a tent on a pannier rack is the dream

[@johnlittle6271]

Pissed myself all the way through this. You can ride better than the majority of us with cut down bars. Amazing. Hilarious as always, good work.

[@paulwhitaker5578]

Sweet! Do a how wide can you go video next! I wanna see some 12 ft wide barspins

[@TallGuyTrails]

I was 100% concerned for your safety this entire video! 😆

[@lukie4ever]

Using the wrong disc lol

[@jonroder7806]

I got your merch to Christmas I’m soooo happy 😃

[@Spider.vintage]

this was just incredible sam, fair play dude 100% respect

[@wayneyates700]

And there's most of us lesser biking mortals still struggle with 740mm- 780mm bar's 🤣🤣. Funny n very Sam scientific approach 👍

[@crazyhandgrows6432]

Those Monster breaks always put a smile on my face.

[@omahamtb6580]

You're doing flips and bar spins with almost no bars and I'm over here barely clearing small dirt jumps. 🤘

[@jakob_boerkay]

thank you sam for always givin us the best day !

[@RandysRides]

Back in the 90's, it was a thing to have narrow bars with horns.....supposedly it was easier to go through trees. lol. That fad didn't last long, though... as there was little control, and the horns would actually catch trees and wipe you out.

[@Messermarkmauritz]

I remember this! What an amazing time xD

[@Benjbike]

How can you be this funny man it's incredible, I laughed from beginning to end 😂👍

[@thunderpump3764]

I love your videos Sam. Oh and nice joke, "when you said lets cut it down another inch, this should be inch-resting" 😂😂

[@matthewholohan2806]

that’s ridiculous Sam. Great video, Aston and I were laughing so much

[@MikeWalls7829]

Welcome to 90s bar lengths

[@calmryze]

this is why we love sam... he's just so funny and ridicolous in a good way:))

As Mr T would say, you crazy fool 😂

[@rhandymarquez3495]

You're my best funny rider that I've ever met on MTB

[@lucasm7635]

I say next vid Sam should get a huge seat post and raise the seat up every trick until the maximum height, it gets scary fast

[@SamPilgrim]

😂😂

[@str8downdnb_mod360]

Do it sam, seatpost of death :)

[@MikeWalls7829]

"Am I gonna hit my wheel on this? No" very nice analysis in a half second, that's why you're still alive!

[@butters_147]

It's cool, Santa sounds German. 👍😉 Also, the "bull-horn" spin @ 10:26/17:04 is pretty crazy! 💪🤙😂 Merry Crimbo from Canada Pilgrim boys! A day late and a dollar short. 🥸

[@bigbird2451]

I used to cut my bars down pretty short for x ups and bar spins. Then years later I built up a '56 Schwinn with Hannebrink forks and Profile oversized cranks. Then I just welded three inches back on each side and have a sweet cruiser. Thank you Atom Labs for making steel bars!

[@juanj8468]

Love the santa skit hahah keep up the great work

[@christopherwilson7497]

Wow can't believe you managed all them tricks with cutting an inch off everytime dude you are fearless very cool content on Boxing day thank you.

[@w19ely85]

This is how we used to roll back in the 90's. Upsets me when I think back on how many mid school BMX bars I ruined back in the day

[@Colololp]

Always taking it to the extreme 😂. The bars literally couldn't have been any shorter. That was so much fun to watch.

[@MarreroBuilt]

I cant believe you went down the stairs at the end! I was scared for you! So good! Haha

[@Duunti]

This was, once more, real good fun 😂🤘🏼 How about a “Bring the seat up challenge”??? (Every one or two tricks, bring up the Seat-post by half an inch?) Totally understand, if you don’t fancy it…would love to see it anyway though 😉🤙🏼 Cheers!

[@palicar]

Amazing as expected. I was hoping to see a turndown in the bowl.

[@cevikmetalcovers]

Sam is taking the problem of weight weenies the good way :) No tires, no tubes, no handlebar, no brakes, no transmission... Still riding amazing bikes :) I think you should nail unicycle back flip to complete the circle !

[@drrrw]

A banger of a video for 2021.

[@TrIpMo1981]

Super fun experiment Sam, haha

And you’re using a diamond concrete wheel too. That’s epic. 👍🏻

I honestly thought you where joking when you said you're gonna go down the stairs with only 1 inch bars but you actually did it!

[@skartimus]

Oh man this gave me a special level of anxiety. That tiny, tiny bar down the stairs was just terror.
