Right? Came to say the same. Now he knows how we feel. I was so out of breath on my last session trying to wheelie, takes serious core. Can’t wait for the next session
I rode one similar to this in North Carolina back in the mid-late 80's. I lost one of my checker-board Vans and my left-nut on a root-section, after some major spillage off a 12ft cliff-face. When we got back to my truck, my lost Van was sitting on the tailgate waiting for me. 😳 My left-nut, recovered.
Honestly this was the PEFECT sam pilgrim video. Ouch my back.. old. Castle tour history facts, ridiculous bike, non stop pissing myself laughing. Being kind to the kid on the track by including him. Just perfect. I don't think I've enjoyed one of your videos more in the last 6 years.
Flevobike has made some great recumbents through the years. OkeJa, Amigo and finally the pinnacle of recumbent engineering: The Flevobike Greenmachine. I should know, I own one of the 600 ever made fitted with nylon/glass composite wheels. A wonderful machine.
Any major differences in maintenance between recumbents & uprights? I do my own and always think about how long distance commuting would be like laying in a more comfy position.
@@TeamLas3r maybe you can rent a few different models to find out. Recumbents are pretty different in handling and comfort, and everyone has their own liking. What they have in common, is you don't bear down on your wrist so much which is really comfortable. Maintenancewise, they are pretty much bicycles with a very long chain that likes to collect dirt. The protective tubes around the chain (you see them in the video) are good for your pants and good for your chain. For me, I found out, a motorcycle top box is perfect. It gives me storage, improves on my aerodynamics a little, and the extra weight doesn't really matter to me because recumbents are heavy anyways. In fact, a little weight increases the ratio of sprung to unsprung masses, which is good for suspension comfort. And yes, try a full suspension recumbent. I don't want to miss mine.
CAN'T GET OVER HOW MAHOOSIVE THAT CHAIN IS!! 😅 Imagine combining this with that big fan-propeller thing you got (also from marketplace)! Or team up with Canyon to create a full-sus recumbent.. Also, love how it goes from "Ah, my back" to the "best thing ever" in the blink of an eye! 😂 And forcing the merch down our throats! 😂 Not to mention the history lesson and crack-a-Monnie, 10 minutes of epic entertainment!! 👍🏻
@@cebruthius I've seen some really nice ones. Sam's marketplace gem is not one of those :) I'd rate it a notch down from the bed frame bike. They are not all made out of garage door opener parts.
This brings me and my partner so much Joy!!!! The history lesson is amazing and the way you put these videos together is just amazing. The editing and your natural chemistry is always out of this world. Dont ever change Sam 😀
As a ‘bent rider (a dark sider), I’ve been waiting for this and it was highly entertaining. The bike is a bit mild as a ‘bent though, very definitely at the ‘shopper’ end of the recumbent spectrum. But that doesn’t stop me not wanting to wait to long for the next instalment.
That was hilarious Sam. The stuff you come up with to cycle is one thing, but the pure insanity you perform on them is on a whole new level. Excited to see what happens next 😂😂
Sam it’s a joy to see how you manage to ride all these contraptions! You make everything look easy and it’s always fun to watch the videos! Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to wear the new shirt 😁
The chair of doom. I wonder if he got shorter after each run from the spinal compression. Every time I see a speed bump from now on, I’m going to think “sleeping policeman”.
Yes, to another video of the recumbent in modified form for more fun and excitement! Take it to Twisted Oaks for the ultimate in sick gnarly shredding!
If anyone in the UK hears of a grey and green cube stereo full suspension ebike for sale (possible without a computer) please message. Someone broke in to my house Thursday and stole it whilst my family was sleeping
I ride a similar semi-recumbent, though it has full suspension. I'll now refer all the kids that tell me to pop a wheelie to this video. If its that tricky for someone like Sam its beyond impossible for someone like me, who never even tried to do wheelies as a kid. (I also have all my travel gear behind the backseat to make it even worse :D)
I've honestly been waiting for this episode :D Thanks for making it happen, Sam! Looking forward to the front flip in the next episode ;) (Also might be dangerous/fun to attach that big fan on the recumbent!)
Miyamoto Musashi, the 17th century samurai “sword saint”, admonishes against getting too used to any individual sword. It’s gratifying to see Sam apply that same insight to his training.
I cried with laughter as usual Pilgs, love the bit where you say your back hurts while you are trying to wheelie and then you slam yourself and say 'old' then the camera captures your back all blown through the remnants of the seat, hahahahhahaha.
Sam is using one of the most simple recumbents. And there are recumbents just made for off road. I hope Sam will test a real off road recumbent. And maybe a tadpole recumbent.
Honestly this guy is the most entertaining person ever
Only if the bike snaps.
For shure so far
The best
Agreed
Thanks man! Glad you like the vids 😁👌
Sam doing a wheelie on that thing looks like me trying to wheelie a regular bike 😂
😂👍
Same here... apart from the last one.
At least you try. I don't even dare to try it.

New Netflix show. Recumbent history with Sam. You just pedalling round old places doing doomers?
Forget Netflix! UA-cam is where Pilgrim is king!
@@TheTWhite true
Please please make a history series, just biking around telling history facts.
on the recumbent. There's something hilariously stupid about it but so entertaining.
Pops a sick recumbant wheely with every fun fact
id actually watch that intently!
@@CRneu it went so well w/ the script, simply a brilliant happening

@@mojostevo Honestly, if he did something educational in youtube shorts everyone would watch.
First lap had me laughing the whole time 😂😂 only Sam sends it blind on a recumbent bike
And he still rides it better than I do on a proper mountain bike on a known trail.
I have a feeling that Sam could get down those trails faster in a supermarket trolley than I can on my mountain bike.
Yep for sure
I see this as a challenge and a video request.
Sam is the Nikola Tesla of two-wheeled madness. Just when you think there are no more insane bike shredding options left, Sam invents a new one.
Dude is a genuine inspiration. The way he makes terrible ideas into genuinely great ideas is the type of thing I aspire to.
😂😂🤙
Tesla was a Jesuit puppet Kabbalist who only rereleased old tartarian technology. Total fraud.
Im going to just do a prediction, this bike is going to an absolute dream.
I think it's going to be actually the best thing ever.
3:13 i was close lmao
soooooo good
I'm a recumbent commuter, and you made my dreams and nightmares come true at the same time. Full respect to you, that was hilarious ❤
now you know whats possible, time to overcome your fears and conquer your nightmares
Any major differences in maintenance between recumbents & uprights? I do my own and always think about how long distance commuting would be like laying in a more comfy position.

funniest episode for ages, never seen sam looked so scared before he bailed
How did they not think of putting a second chain tensioner on that chain
Finally some history with Sam again love it
Probably a garage door chain. Kinda think the top "tube" came from a garage door opener as well.
There was gears on the back and standard bike cranks on the front. All the garage door chain I have seen is a smaller pitch
@@sapinva How to reveal you know nothing about recumbents 😆
@@cebruthius I've seen some really nice ones. Sam's marketplace gem is not one of those :) I'd rate it a notch down from the bed frame bike. They are not all made out of garage door opener parts.
@@sapinva I own three bikes from this manufacturer, including this model and I call you a liar, sir 🤡
I love Sam's out-of-context history lessons. Honestly, if every class was delivered by a guy on a bike pulling wheelies every kid would be a genius 😏
More history lessons!!🎉
This brings me and my partner so much Joy!!!! The history lesson is amazing and the way you put these videos together is just amazing. The editing and your natural chemistry is always out of this world. Dont ever change Sam 😀
Yes!!!! Recumbents are the best, way too much fun! Stoked on this edit Sam, wheelie chillin!!!
Recline Baby!
The master has spoken!

Now he has been afflicted with the curse of recumbency, soon he'll be lusting after windshields, aerodynamic fairings and under seat steering
Always coming up with the most creative bikes. Love it.
MORE RECUMBENT PLEASE!! :D That's so sick and I want to see you doing a hill bomb with it! Haha
Ask Allen Millyard if he'll build you a full sus recumbent bike. It'd be well worth the time a series of work in progress vids would require! 🙂🙂🙂
I havent laughed this hard in ages. Sam riding down those stairs is just too much!
That thing needs a BACK SEAT for the downhill of death! That way you can bring your drinkin' buddies with ya
That was hilarious Sam. The stuff you come up with to cycle is one thing, but the pure insanity you perform on them is on a whole new level. Excited to see what happens next 😂😂
Glad you like them!!
I love how everything is either the best or worst thing in the world 😂😂 millennial overexaggeration is alive and well haha. This video was fun
Loving this content, we need more crazy bike vids🎉
The "recumbent smile" hits LITERALLY EVERYONE! Please help make these bikes cool
You crack me up Sam my jaw hurts from laughing so much 🤣 so funny your living your best life fair play 🤙
“For him gambling brought his family closer together, because he had to move to a smaller house” One of the funniest things I’ve heard 😂
Had me laughing the whole way down. You’ve created Jackass - the bicycle edition.
I reckon you should go farmer johns Sam
My favorite videos are the ones where you ride the most RIDICULOUS bikes, and still shred🤘🏼😂. A recumbent bike on a jump trail!!!
Fucking loved the history documentary / Philomena Cunk's bit xD
keepin that madness together was a miracle of the universe!
Britain's Historical Castles presented by Sam Pilgrim on a bike a new BBC show. I'd watch it!!!!!! ❤❤
Sam it’s a joy to see how you manage to ride all these contraptions! You make everything look easy and it’s always fun to watch the videos!
Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to wear the new shirt 😁
Saaam I'm dying laughing xDD thank you, please hit some huge kicker to airbag :-))

Always love the energy Sam! Got some Orchrad T-shirts ordered! Cheers from Sweden!
I would watch Sam Pilgrim do his taxes. It would be the steeziest tax sesh ever. Epic.
I've honestly been waiting for this episode :D Thanks for making it happen, Sam! Looking forward to the front flip in the next episode ;) (Also might be dangerous/fun to attach that big fan on the recumbent!)
The closing line on your history lesson felt very Philomena Crunk'esque!
Do a backflip and a front flip on that bike, That would be Super Epic Bro🙂!
I turned on the Laptop to watch Micky Flanagan and got even better comedy watching the recumbent veloceraptor at it best
The Flevobike Oke-Ja. Mr. Johan Vrielink would be proud ;-)
Miyamoto Musashi, the 17th century samurai “sword saint”, admonishes against getting too used to any individual sword. It’s gratifying to see Sam apply that same insight to his training.
The bike reminds me of one of those ralleigh choppers, but with a pinch of STEEZ
Friggin hilarious. Random clattering chaos barreling down the trail.
This is a channel for laughs. Way better than mainstream "comedies" 😂
Gambling brought him much closer to his family since he had to move into a smaller house! Bought fell out of my seat! Lol
You had me laughing so hard I was choking on my food, well done mate!!!
I don't know you, but I love you. Cheers mate.
I was feeling quite depressed, then I watch this and laugh harder than I have in months
So cool to see pilgrim invent stuff for his retirement shreddy when he turns 80 🤣
I honestly love your content your the most entertaining UA-camer ever
That's worth 10 cents as recycling rubbish
The most epically insane person on a bike! 💙😂
It'd be a waste of a recumbent if there arent fox 40s on it by the next episode
“Off track, slightly…” 😂
👊😎🔥
Kirt Voreis recumbent bike stuff is nuts, I can’t wait to see what you get up to!
RECLINE #recline
I'm so glad he gave the recline pioneer Kirt Voreis a shout-out. Kirt has done the most hilarious (and talented) tricks on one!
Sam, you genuinely make me laugh every video. Dreams.
3:00 oowa my back! followed by fart on next jump 😂
Nothing better than Sam on and in precarious preposterous positions! 🙌🙌
Attach a leaf blower or something to the back of the bike 😂
Was u riding 1 of these in loughton on sunday 16th😂
That bike is like something out of willy wonka lmaooooooooo
Love the content man. You're so much fun. Loved the bit about the castle! More please! History on a bike with Sam pilgrim would complete me❤❤
I cried with laughter as usual Pilgs, love the bit where you say your back hurts while you are trying to wheelie and then you slam yourself and say 'old' then the camera captures your back all blown through the remnants of the seat, hahahahhahaha.
Hell yah! 🤘
Finally brought back crack a monnie a clock 🎉
Is matt Jones OK he hasn't posted for a while
The sleeping policemen lol. You rock man 😂
It's almost as if it's made for triple clamp forks.
i was deading for a holle 10 min🤣🤣🤣
Next he'll go downhill on a unicycle 😂
who else saw it on tiktok and came straight here
I grew up around recumbents. That one is a Bike-E brand, and they made an off-road version with suspension and knobby tires.
Wrong! It's a Flevobike OkeJa.
Woah!! That bike looks gnarly - leave to Sam to put it to the shreddy testy
Funniest shit I've seen all day 😂😂😂
Sam is so funny and so good at bike riding
Historical Sends with Sam
TOP 5 video of all time!!! My stomach hurts and face full of tears 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Your grunts and reactions were totally killing me! 😅
The camera work and editing is fantastic
It's only a matter of time before Sam straps on some wings to a bike and takes to the air, never to be seen again
This Dude!!!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!
"Head angle just changed"🤣
Top of the list of things I didn’t know I absolutely need in my life was Sam doing travel voiceovers while riding wheelies through medieval Europe.
So true, he's a bloody natural at this stuff. Next presenter for One Planet etc.? It would be epic!
PUT SOME FOX 40s ON THAT THING
Bros seat is half sun lounger 💀
£10er if you flip it next vid
You need to add suspension for sure!
That first crash was hilarious
That first crash was hilarious
Now this is funny...😂😂😂😂
Your always funny Sam.
Love your videos Sam so good
Air bag and back flip it!
Sam is using one of the most simple recumbents. And there are recumbents just made for off road. I hope Sam will test a real off road recumbent. And maybe a tadpole recumbent.
The OkeJa is simple but very durable!
