  • Crazy MTB handlebar cutting challenge - How narrow can they go? After each trick, jump or urban freeride line I have to cut my dirt jump bike handlebars down by 1 inch until I can't ride anymore, how long can I keep the craziness going?
    This Boxing day special is sure to get you stoked to continue sitting on the sofa because I have a ridiculous video for you today with the crazy MTB handlebar cutting challenge and the rules are simple. After each tricks, freeride line or jump I do I have to cut my handlebars down by 1 inch until the point where I just can't ride anymore but how long will this go on for? To get the game started I get out my MTB hopper portable kicker ramp and do some tricks with my ever narrowing bars. From here we move to the local skatepark to get more technical before moving onto the huge stair set of doom and all the other treats the university has on offer! This video is filled with urban MTB freeride lines and stupidity and is all taken place on my custom Haibike dirt jump bike!! Do you have any crazy ideas? Then let me know :)
    I hope you enjoy the video!

    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.

    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
      @ronniefnd 2 года назад +1

      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.

    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.

    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 !!

    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.
