  • The free bike challenge - part 30 - insane bike park sends! I visit Phoenix cycle works MTB trails bike park and ride the sickest jumps ever on an old free hard tail mountain bike with horn handlebars, but how long will it last?
    I return to this crazy bike park to find that they have a whole new side filled with incredible dirt jumps and fast flowing MTB trails which turns out to be a perfect place to put this hard tail free bike to the test. I start off on the old smaller beginner MTB trails before getting into the huge slopestyle jumps and pulling off tricks that really shouldn't of been done on this flimsy bike with ridiculous horn handle bars which must have came straight from the 80's!! Phoenix Bike park is filled with endless lines of jumps and wooden features to get sendy on, and I had so much fun here, I just wish I was on my normal bike and not the dangerous free bike!! What sort of tricks or free bike videos would you like to see next, let me know!!?
    I hope you enjoy the video!

    There is zero chance that bike was ever 360'd in its lifetime, then Sam comes along. I love how Sam takes a bike that was literally on the brink of extinction and gives it the most incredible day of it's existence instead.

      Sam you should organise a game of bike with some other good mountain bikers and everyone has to ride a bike they genuinely got for free, they can do basic maintenance, tyres, tubes, grips, fix but not replace brakes etc.

Sam hitting almost all of the landings near perfect kept that bike alive. Makes me want to grab my old pub bike and try some of those moves that won't be nearly as easy as Sam makes them look.

    "Look how the rubber on the rear tire is dry rotted and about to explode. Let's replace the rear, but LEAVE THE FRONT???" That was the sketchiest part of the entire thing! Well, that and leaving the "impaler" ends on the bars when you're jumping 12 feet in the air, on a free bike, ON A ROTTED FRONT TIRE. That was fairly sketch too. :-)

    Excellent freebike challenge! Super fun and definitely inspirational to get out on the old bikes. Reminds me alot of my buddy's old fully rigid GT Avalanche from the late 90s. This also reminds me of something I think Hans Rey mentioned in one of his Q&As, responding to a question from a younger rider interested in getting into trials riding, he said the cheapest way to get into it was getting a used small or xs sized aluminum fully rigid v-brake mtb from the 90's, and learn how to ride trails on it before upgrading.

    The video proves a point, the Carrera was a high quality bike when it came out. There are a lot of bikes like that out there that were top of the food chain once that can be had for a song or for free. If you know what you're doing, you can still shred the hell out of them. Old don't mean crappy to the right rider and all that it takes to be the right rider is practice practice practice.
