HOW LONG CAN THIS BAMBOO MOUNTAIN BIKE FRAME LAST?

23 Seconds in and i already know its going to be Chaos, A bamboo Frame... Good luck Mate!

people that say bamboo is tougher than steel are as annoying as people saying dolphins are intelligent , Pandas eat bamboo, i never seen one eat steel...

I am totally bamboozalled !! And so are you now l

Those drinks taste like shit 😂

you the best follower from moroco

That didn't look good. Good that nothing more happened 😮

Sam is so cool and relaxed 😅 Watching his videos constantly makes me think that hanging around with him must be a lot of fun

I'm not into MBs and this is only the 2nd of your vids I've watched (just watched you break the red Amazon $250 bike). But, man, you're a legend. I think your chuckle after each bump and jump is more, 'Can't believe it survived that,' than 'That was sooo good.' Can't wait to watch the wooden wheels vid...yep, I'm hooked on you already.

I want to know the story about the tooth

Bamboozzled.

he is SO LUCKY his front wheel actually dug into his chest to help break the fall. Otherwise, it would have been his face and shoulder just hitting the ground.

Dude is completely crazy ! x)

Why do you never wear protective clothing an then as an act of dumb stupidty show off your injury to camera as this is to be proud of???😢

My jaw literally dropped. I know the dramatic mechanical failures are more exciting but I was genuinely scared for you!
That being said, you're an inspiration for the way you deal with falls and pick yourself up again. Makes me keen to push my own limits.

Bra. You get the shaka icon on your chest. You go. Aloha. 😎🤙

Cut the front of an old free bike top bar amd downbar triangle and try bore the bamboo out a wee bit and slide and secure the front of the free bike into the centres of the bamboo frame and tie it back up you'll have a weird hybrid but get it going again lol

I thought the inside resin joints would have been strip wrapped with bamboo strips like a rafia type rope to make it stromger not just seeing the resing totally snap clean theres nothing supporting the joints but resin and some cloth!

Its stronger than steel because of its bending properties so this should be interesting 😂 the headtube is probably stripped strands of bamboo to tie it all together and then that resin coating over the joints they use this as scaffold in Japan but you see on some videos them being able to bend a good 80° before they spring back lol does look cool though! Be cool since there hollow if a bike manufacturer was able to wrap the bamboo round the steel frame of slide it through the centres of the bamboo for the strength to take the flex out

Sam and fabio wibmer are the reason i sleep in my bed with my bike near me thank you guys for all the videos and making us love bikes and enjoying the freedom of riding 🔥🤟

that front wheel saved him from a severe face plant jeez

I suggest getting it from a place that works with bamboo like the Philippines and import it

The bamboo frames here are stupidly strong if you find the right manufacturwr

Always knew bamboo bikes. Are crap

I wonder if it being cold made it more brittle and if summer time the bike would be able to flex more without breaking

You know what they say any landing u can walk away from is a good landing 👍

Sam = real life crash test dummy

That front tyre literally saved your remaining front teeth 😂 be careful man!

You should really start wearing a full face🤣

Great video but man you were lucky you didn't go face first into the concrete - please wear a full face helmet when you do this crazy stuff!

What I see as a 'saving grace' from this break and fall; the tire hitting his shoulder actually saved Sam from smashing his face into the ground.

What about a frame made from sycamore. There is some spare at the moment.

Thanks for the sacrifice. My son and I are really enjoying this video.

I’ve heard that bamboo is as strong as steel so I wonder why industry doesn’t use it more ? It’s easy to grow and harvest ?

It was going so well until the wooden bike snapped in half 😂

The temperature they make the joints extra brittle.

Google: How strong is a bamboo bike frame?
Answer: Bamboo is significantly more durable than carbon fiber, but it also weighs more and is denser. While a bamboo frame may add weight over a superlight carbon monocoque frame, Boo can boast that it has NEVER HAD A SINGLE TUBE OR JOING FAILURE IN ITS ENTIE HISTORY-INCLUDING CAR ACCIDENTS!
Sam: HOLD MY MONSTER!

🤣🤣what a legend 🤙🏻

bro fell and the camera man was just staring

We had those bikes in the school lesson and i sended this to my teacher 😂

This is wild 😂

I have a bamboo Calfee road bike. Also with hemp wrap like yours, though built up a bit more. Eight years, 20K miles, and a couple small couple crashes later, the Calfee holding up fine.

I do not even like bikes ,but I find your videos so entertaining. /cheers

i don't know what about he was thinking... wooden frame in cold weather.... this frame very good for normal ride, not for extreme.

Babu bikes are a scam

damn near about lost his other tooth!

HAHAHA "should fit perfectly" proceeds to beat with hammer. Big ups Sam, love your shit bro

RRRRRRRRRREKTALLLOEDDDD

This guy is sick lol glad I found him somehow I'm not even into xtreme sports, am now though

bamboo is actually grass and not wood😊
