- Riding this £250 Amazon fat bike until it snaps - Face plant! I push the limits of this crazy folding full suspension bike and it snapped but not before I shred the bike park hitting jumps and MTB trails! Would you ride this?
I bought this ridiculous looking fat bike on Amazon for £250 so I could push it to the limits and see how long it would last while throwing proper mountain bike style features at it such as berms, jumps and full speed sections at the infamous Chicksands Bike Park! This strange bike has dual suspension and a folding mechanism in the middle to really add to the charm of this MTB. We start the video off by riding a nice flow trails that runs around the side of the bike park before moving quickly into the dirt jumps where things start to take a turn for the worst. After bending the forks I carry on hitting trails and features in the woods, even a stair set of doom that runs above the dual slalom track and finish off with some wheelies and jibs. But how long will the forks stay together?
I hope you enjoy the video!

This new bike technology is amazing. It changes geometry while riding to suit the trails
1000x better than Canyon's shapeshifter thing
I hear mongoose and eurobike will be adopting this new technology. Honestly this is companies innovating at the top of their game
not shure about that forkless setting tho
Underrated commet! The next version should be able to reverse to original geometry, whichvthis one cant
Probably sue em for that 😂
I think the front brake cable potentially saved you from quite a nasty chest or face injury as it pulled the forks back down. Very lucky!
I was thinkin' the same thing... It was so close before it snapped back down. He almost lost the rest of his teeth (if not worse). Totally insaneum!
Really? I think the brake cable may have caused him more damage, because they kept everything in the path he was failing. Maybe if the brake cable broke everything would have moved out of his path and he could have braced for impact more effectively.

I've loved all the cheap bike sends you've done, but I think you found the limit where willfully putting yourself in danger stops being a fun thrill and becomes an uncomfortable watch instead. But I still think this video is a huge service to the public. Mandatory viewing for all parents who cheap out when buying bikes for their kids.
Well said! about the parent part.
You must really hate your children if you buy them a bike like this
Plus, children aren’t going to be sending it down huge dirt jump lines lmao. At most they might jump off a kerbside now and again
Exactly!! :)
As a father of 2 kids i fully agree. What pisses me off the most is, that cheap crapy bikes are not that cheap pricewise. But 80% of the price of kids bikes are the licence costs for the frozen livery… my son rides an Earlyrider 😉
Oh stop, being modest isn't fun to watch.
THIS WAS AWESOME!
8:50 😂😂😂 the creaks coming from the bike mixed with his exited look is pure gold
Absolutely mental!!!
I can't believe how fast you hit the downhill switch backs, then the STAIRS!!!
Then how close your face came to the front wheel when it finally snapped 😮.
Thank you for risking your neck and making an entertaining video for us all .

he could lose an eye or something, really dumb move there, no need to go this far for content, his content is amazing anyways
that broke fork could have slit your throat open. i would have stopped when it bent, even if i was you.
Man, yours is some of the best, no shits given, original MTB content out there. I'm just fearing for your safety riding so hard on this thing after it's been obviously compromised! Stay safe with these things! 🤣
It’s always super handy when your bike folds and takes up more space! 😂
😂
It's good when you want to bother yourself even more in your house because it will be hitting your toes even more. 10/10 feature
its good it doesn't fold multiple times, otherwise you'd probably need ford raptor to carry it around.
Always good fun, but you really shouldn't have to put yourself at risk like that. It seems like a complete lucky strike that that fork didn't just take your eyeball out.
I thought the exact same thing 😫😫
Quite lucky 😩

reminds me of when i found the limit of my old racing cicle.. it was pretty ancient by the time i bought it from my uncle.. and a couple years later just after i got maintenance whilst traveling over a speed bump the seating pin broke of, flew into my back wheel somehow and made me do a flip to the ground. it bended the entire frame.
I know I'm way behind and I'm sorry you got hurt but these videos are fantastic! Every time you take a jump I was cringing just waiting for the inevitable to happen! Thanks for risking your life for us, you're the best
7:07 that's actually great comedy haha. But seriously bikes like this shouldn't be allowed...that's borderline criminal to put something so crap on the market for people to buy. It's going to kill someone.
But it isn’t designed to do any of the stuff he’s doing in the video. It’s designed for small kids to ride around on smooth roads and pavements. Occasionally they might ride off a kerbside. It can do that just fine because that’s what it’s for
So why is it a surprise to anyone? We know they’re made cheaply but they aren’t made for this kind of stuff in the first place
You wouldn’t take a mclaren P1 off-roading and then complain that it breaks almost immediately
@@CrazyPanda688 Sure looks to the unwitting like it was made for off road use. Regardless it’s a piece of shite and shouldn’t be for sale as a bike in this country. We’ve sold our souls to the devil with all the crap we allow ourselves to be sold in the name of having something new.
@@jhuc2869 all cheap bikes are a POS. But even entry level MTB’s which cost a few hundred, and even middle of the range ones have cheap ass forks fitted to them with stickers on them telling you they aren’t designed for jumping or off-road use
The companies aren’t responsible for looking after idiots. That’s why we have warning labels on shampoo bottles telling you not to put it in your eyes, because some people are stupid enough to do that
@@CrazyPanda688 Idiots don't deserve to die for riding substandard bikes. The people that make and distribute this crap should be banned or prosecuted.
If you’re hitting jumps that big you should probably already have a good idea of what a bike can and can’t do
You have been through so much on cheap bikes and free bikes that I cannot believe this one snapped that fast for 250!! Great fun as always Sam!
i want to see this one agin with nice forks ^^
I like the variable head tube angle tech in this bike. This bike can be your trail and downhill rig at the same time.
There are a lot of people who will shred trails on a proper bike but when you ride a cheapo made out of recycled soda cans over massive jumps, that's taking bravery to the next level.
I'm so glad that it didn't hit your face cause you can see it in the slow motion that you were so close to the forks while facing them...Always happy to watch your content and hopefully one day I will meet you on the trails or somewhere around town :) You're an absolute legend and always keeping it real🤙
I know! His face was so close to getting sliced. Glad it missed him!
I thought that. It was a fork-in-the-face collision right up to the last split second when it bounced away. That gash in his arm could've been his face!
Yep, i was shaking my head in horror through most of the video. These are kind of hilarious to watch as always, but dude make sure you don't get seriously injured 😮

Loved seeing you WRECK that bike.
Well done mate!
12:10 dude, you literally near missed death there. Fork's tube was coming towards your neck and the brake cable came in last second with the save, pulling it down and away from your faceplant.
I really enjoy your videos Sam! You’re the only rider I watch that actually makes me laugh out loud by myself lol! I was so worried that fork was going to impale you when it snapped because of the way it kinda popped back up as you were falling. So glad you didn’t get seriously injured. My vote is to no more Amazon junk!
That is a quality video. Thank you!
Hey bud I just want to say thank you for showing us how cheap bikes really are and what not to buy and want to be careful of and put in your butt on the line testing them out thank you again we appreciate it love your videos and your information you're awesome God bless you have a blessed day
So much respect for you taking that to it's ultimate conclusion. You knew it was coming but you did it anyways. Part of me feels bad for laughing, but the other part of me laughed really really really hard. When the fork, handlebars, and frame became three separate pieces I almost died. I hope your hand doesn't hurt too much. Thanks for the awesome content.
if you look closely he nearly impaled the front fork into his face. very dum
Man you're lucky you didn't take cheap forks to the face when you snapped it.
My first thought
"That was horrible...but kinda well good". 🤣 Love this guy.
I’m amazed! I’ve never watched your channel before. I’m going to have subscribe!
Be careful mate. Don’t wanna lose a tooth! 🤣👍🏻 Man i love this channel !
That black tooth actually looks quite cool.
Good thing you somehow avoided those forks going to your face or it could have been really serious. I hope you don’t continue risking it like that because it would be terrible to lose you over things you already know will happen. Keep it safe and fun so that we can keep enjoying your content. Cheers mate!

•Fat Tires
•Full Suspension
and yet can't ride trails properly
I am with others who have stated that Sam needs to do a vid with a quality fat bike...........That would be EPIC!
Looked like a death trap...and it was 😂 Love this series Sam
That means this ride cost only 125 GBP per hour 😂
That's a great deal!! 2 hours of good fun and a set of spare tires, seat and grips to top it off!!
I expected Sam to buy 5 more just to pick up all this value.
It's only logical to believe this one must have been made on a Monday morning by a hung-over employee.
The others are most likely much better!
Awesome legend he is this guy!
You are crazy bro thanks for the content legend G 🤣🤣🤣🤘🏾

A++ for your bravery 👌
I'd suggest that you wear a full face brain bucket. Especially,, when you push a roach of a bike like that sack of shite. Hopefully u have the receipt, I'd be sending it back to Amazon. Tell em you are an Unsatisfied customer. 😛🤙
I Never knew what front fork failure would look like. now I do. Super scary, the bit attached to the wheel could have punctured your face. not sure even a motorcycle helmet would have stopped that. Kudos to you man. It's a great learning experience. No CCS for me.
No proper fork will do that, also just stop riding when you notice it getting that bent
I used to ride a cheap bmx that probably came from wal mart. One day I was doing wheelies like crazy, as usual, and the front tire just rolled away mid-wheelie. Entire fork broke off from where it entered the frame.
Seen just that on an episode of helicopter medics , guys front forks snapped he was in a right mess .
Thank you for your bodily sacrifice! doing the hard work out there! keep it up man.
Laughed when loui said he could smell the breaks. No that was Sam soiling his pants 😂
I hope you recover quickly. You are the best 'consumer report' for bikes. I am glad that you are keeping the bike manufacturers honest by destructive testing products.

I'm actually surprised that the forks failed before the frame. I don't think I'd even want to ride this bike on the road, never mind the trails.
Heh I actually have a similar bike (probably the same factory just painted a different colour with different brand decals), without the fat tires. I bought it used as I wanted a budget foldable with larger wheels. It’s actually a pretty decent bike for commuting and leisure rides as I live in a city with uneven roads here and there, so the suspension makes the ride a little nicer. I know some people who have ridden it for a few years without issues. But I’m definitely never taking this on trails.
It even held up a lot!💀😅 Nice fall at the end! Get better
