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
  • @adamday331
    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!
  • Loved it when he bent the forks and turned it into a beach cruiser.
  • That shot of Lewi getting hit with the bark cracked me up 😂 Great video, you've got balls of steel. Here's what I learned: Amazon fatbike pros: great grip Amazon fatbike cons: everything. Absolutely everything.
  • @ViktorSarge
    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.
  • @BonkoTheFat
    Sam's insanity is so understated and casual, it's downright terrifying sometimes.
  • @timothyoo7
    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 .
  • @blazemonkey
    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! 🤣
  • Sam you’re a national treasure, maybe full face and chest protection when testing cheap bikes.
  • @anderscma0790
    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.
  • @nickequeall4164
    I'm so glad i watched this video mate, i was thinking of getting one of these until me and the family started making jokes of them literary folding in half while riding this, then i had to double check foldable mountain bike accidents and found your great content.
  • Love how super positive Sam is even towards the worst bikes money can buy. What an absolute top fella. Your face when the forks finally went both made me chuckle and feel sorry for you at the same time. That little face!
  • @jayhompson
    My wife asks me why I spent £5500 on a bike. Showed her this and she said “you’d be nuts to ride such a shite bike” thanks Sam you have saved my marriage lol
  • @birdflipper
    This is the first video I've seen from this bloke and he definitely earned my sub! So funny!🤣
  • @Saftkeur
    Agreed with others on this being a good spot to stop with the dirt cheap bikes, after a point you already know what's gonna happen. That said now I'm wanting to see what you can do with a better quality fat bike, that thing looked like a lot of fun for the first five minutes!
  • @EL1389
    "That was horrible...but kinda well good". 🤣 Love this guy.
  • @astramorikes224
    Thank you Sam for this video which is a big step for science. You could have lost your teeth when the fork snaped, damn! I laughed hard xD
  • @julek5570
    "it has lived up to its name so far, it has been fast to break" that got me completely lol
