There is something liberating, almost poetic, about destroying something in between. The moment when the structure falls apart, the weak point becomes a breaking point and a device becomes inoperable in one fell swoop is epic and pathetic at the same time. Sam Pilgrim takes on a bike that Ride has already presented.

Some grown-up mountain bikers will wonder why Sam Pilgrim forces the foreseeable disintegration of the cheap bike with just an enduro helmet and knee pads. A full body armor would definitely have been appropriate for the test ride in the trail center. Sam obviously prefers to hurt himself. The guy has balls. And luckily for him, he still has them after the break test.
