$100 VS $10,000 MOUNTAIN BIKES!

today we're going to be doing $100 verse $10,000 mountain bikes how it works is we're going to each take turns dropping the ball down the plinker board whatever amount you land on is the amount you get to spend to get your mountain bike your mountain bike gear and any other accessories because we are going to be going on a crazy mountain biking trail you know it's going to be a crazy video when our top budget is literally $10,000 I'll drop first tour to France first place you're right uh-oh uh-oh oh no $10,000 oh yeah as Neil Armstrong once said the only bad ride is the one that didn't happen come on, no oh myac $1,000 haven't been the bike in so long guys we really got to clear off the stairs well sorry Andrew looks like there's only one amount left you get $100 let's go to the store so I'm here at Shields because they have a trek service bike shop now I know nothing about mountain bikes feel like they got some pretty expensive bikes so let's go see what they got I didn't even know bikes could be as expensive as cars originally $114,000 bike what is this thing can't afford that one let's keep looking I love this one it's almost like a holographic green turquoise $3,200 I'm trying to strategically think how expensive of a bike I should get because there are some other gear I need to get as well for this challenge with the extra budget I have obviously I'm going to need protection and some other accessories looks like the most expensive helmet they have are about these $200 Smith helmets man that is crazy look at the inside of that mips dud that is comfortable didn't hurt just bent it onto my head $300 helmet right here how is this $300 to all you mountain bike fans I'm sorry I just know nothing about this stuff so damn that's also pretty nice look at all the air flow he's going to get right through those slots so I got three good choices got to get get the most expensive one of course that one looks pretty sick though which one's the best for Mountain um kind of a shop favorite is going to be the Smith helmet and or the fox spe frame I personally wear this helmet I really like it well guys I was going to go with the super space helmet but thankfully she told me that this is for Road riding not for mountain biking I would have looked like such a dweeb in the mountains with this helmet I've been doing quite a lot of looking at these different bikes there's some pretty decent looking middle budgets so obviously I can't spend as much as Justin but I think I can get still get something that's pretty sweet I like this one it's red which is my favorite color and it's only $600 which leaves me $400 for the extra bonuses I'm going to need lots to eat I'm going to need to get all my chafing stuff if you look at this seat right here there is absolutely no chance that my butt cheeks are going to be comfortable on this thing so let me show you what I saw over here check this out it's $100 but I think it's going to be $100 well spent look at the size of these cheeks this going to make my ride so much more comfortable I can't afford anything here but I did find birthday cake energy gel so the dollar out of my budget you guys saw me get this in the build your own bike video well now it's extra essential with this mega bike ride we're on I have to get this ironically I'm already chafing today from my normal activities I'm petrified of nipple chafing this is going to probably save my life going to grab some of these as well mountain bike paints got butt pads so when I do go flying over the handlebars and laying on my butt it won't it'll be protected what it's kind of cool how much is that one oh $100 maybe I should do that do you think that'd be better yeah they also will carve your shins out if you land on them what carve your shins out are we going to do something crazy if you fall off but my bike I have to buy my own pedals your bike probably fromes stock right with pedals I would assume so I hope so better I you should get one of these cliffing pedals and see how much better you do than everyone else yeah cliping clip my shoes on my pedals the mountain you trying to kill me let me get these sick mountain bike shoes those are just skate shoes they do just look like skate shoes don't they now something that's also very important is since we're going on a pretty long ride I'm going to get hungry going to need some extra calories so I'm going to need a way to store that I put this basket on yes definitely going to need a basket I really hope um everything doesn't fly out of my new basket sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious they're installing my epic Mega booty seat this is kind of a cool angle because it looks like I'm in front of the camera but just kidding it's a mirror guys special effects Rock last bike video we did I got these sick Pit Vipers for when I'm cruising down the mountains but I think it's about time I upgraded these with even sicker ones nice I like the color of the lens yeah and the cow frint no actually oh I love it and you have that dog mom's hat on like an absolute Turf dude your bike's ready oh gosh wait till you see my bike it looks absolutely ridiculous I have $100 to spend for my entire mountain biking setup what better place in the thrift store let's go I found bikes right here this one's already sold though which is the biggest one are these all the bikes or they have more in the outdoor section oh no way they actually have a unisy okay so I don't see any more bikes back here and the only helmet I see is this evil Canal stunt helmet what about all those oh go full face mask hockey helmet uh World War 2 fighter pilot wo three bucks this looks like it might be a kids helmet that's the only bike helmet they have what is this ow this is going to be way too hot though right that angel sty you look like a tank on there's no cushion in this so if I fall it's kind of what's the point oh pretty tight on there it's pretty tight squeezing my face I just want a normal bike helmet I think I'm going have to go with the baseball helmet this is even more expensive it's six bucks all right next I need to get B do you know if they have backpacks here yes Scrolls uh SeaWorld pineapples I guess that'll do out so this one already has a water bottle slot so that's going to be helpful tires gears seat shocks looks pretty good this is 50 bucks that's half my budget I've looked over the entire bike selection here and I think I'm going to go with green giant the green machine pretty solid it's got a good chain good price fairly large testing the bike oh this will be no problem the brakes are a little I don't soft is that the right word I think so mean me I'm probably going to crash if you've done first aid then you know that milk is actually the most hydrating thing you can drink so I'm going to get a whole gallon and I'm going to drink this whole thing while I'm riding my bike stop it get some help I'm looking for quick snacks you reach in the back you grab it I know I did this I'm not drive in a car mini Doritos got to get 727 we just got to our mountain biking trail we have all our gear and everything set up but before we hit the trail let's give you a tour of our bikes I had a $10,000 budget so let's show you how I spent that exactly to start $6,500 mountain bike a trek fuel ex Isaac was saying earlier that this bike costs more than his personal car which is insane you could buy two of my cars for the price of that one bike let's go over some of the features cuz I added some custom things to it again I don't know much about like the specifics of this bike but some key features that I changed I added these bronze pedals on top of that we got the oil spill chain that pops as well I also changed out the handlebars got this red thing I'm not sure what brand this is tie I thought it looked better just cuz I didn't want an all black bike I was going for the colorful Vibes because the employee was telling me that most mountain bikers don't really like to do much color for some reason I got the orange grips here on the handlebars and another simple mod I added a blue water bottle holder this bike also comes stock with dual suspension for ultimate riding comfort and I forgot to mention but this bike actually won bike of the year so that's saying something extremely light picked up with one hand even the brakes are completely different than a typical bike if you look right here are inside this little shind dig right there this helmet $250 along with all the different colorful mountain biking gear they had every size in stock because again mountain bikers don't like color for some reason notice I don't have a backpack on I went with the fanny pack dual wield water bottle system good old dual wielding on the top here we have the energy section some electrolytes right here putting the water along with some Energy Chews a few other things I'll be digging into on the road as well as the sustenance protein bars and uh trail mix I I don't want to pack too heavy because I don't want to pass out from carrying too many snacks got just enough water just enough snacks of course just every possible biker gear accessory I'm ready to hit the trails guys I had $1,000 which I think is a pretty decent budget to get a pretty sick setup I got the Trek Marlin number five assuming that's what it's called cuz that's what it says on it got it in the sweet red color it's actually the opposite colorway as Justin's bike cuz it has the black handlebars in the red body as you guys saw earlier I upgraded my seat looking at Justin seat especially looks super uncomfortable but this thing is so squishy and soft massive area to rest my cheeks on this was $100 so the bike was $650 this was 100 bucks got this helmet for about 60 bucks sweet glasses $69 check out the front this is probably the most important part of my setup I added this epic basket put some ice at the bottom and I got all of the snacks that I need I got Waters I got chips for carbs I got milk for protein and fats and electrolytes and rehydrating got some meat sticks for some more protein the most important thing that I bought chamoy butter you guys know that I chafe a lot and so I had to get this stuff to lather myself up with so I'll probably do that right now oh yeah there we go okay lther up the leg make sure I'm not ching anywhere guys this bike is so heavy got to get up in the inner thighs you're putting on sunscreen house definitely got to get the nips those are a prime chape spot you used like the whole bottle already I really on your neck yeah with this strap is definitely going a chafe I really hate chafing and I'm a huge supporter of tooy so make sure you tag them in the comments I'm trying to get sponsored just oh gosh don't look in there I don't want to look any mountain bikers in the comments let us know if you do what Isaac does last but not least my sweet gnome Bell I'm going to be cruising like a bruising ah next Look at me now before we do the tour you probably noticed our brand new must have snacks t-shirts J shop.com these things are incredible the moment you've been waiting for I know those ones you're like eh the $100 setup is what you've been wanting to wait for here we are the green machine the GT this thing comes standard with front and back brakes that grab your tires and say slow down this came Stu with a water bottle holder and something that these guys don't have a kickstand uh for my helmet design I went with the classic baseball helmet with full face mask in case I go over the handlebars not getting hurt backpack with easy to reach snacks this side I've got some nuts this side I've got my energy goo which I been really excited to use so hopefully I get tired enough to use it also the $10,000 setup has the worst seat this seat is better than that one it has independent rear suspension for the cheeks and I'm ready to cruise and if it gets dark outside check this out I got a little Lantern in the front the reflector shut up no one else has reflectors all right who's ready to ride it's time for the true test to begin we're here at Cheyenne Canyon at a recommended bike trail I have my phone connected to my bike and I click Start in the trail it says 2 and 1/2 hours remaining on this Trail so we'll see whose bike does the best on this Trail heck it could be Andrew it's all about the rider right right Rider Mak right Rider my thighs are definitely going to do the best that's cap you're going to be cha City by [Applause] done oh goodness my snacks are kind of falling oh already dude this is crazy already what the schmuck how am I supposed to get up this what do you mean you ride your bike what's happening do you know how to ride a bike go I'm trying I can't can I go in front of you okay milk's milk coming out way just got to get some momentum and my basket needs to get off my tire ow oh God okay I know to R I can't get off this hill go I'm trying I can't do it this is going to take way more than 2 hours of her walking that was easy with this bike what the heck dang I don't even have to stand up on my bike growing up I always felt like when I was going up any sort of Hill I had to stand up but this I'm I'm literally just sitting down get out the way Slowpoke I what am I supposed to do what oh this is awful oh gosh oh freak me almost my snacks there we go looking good still on track uh which I don't know where'd he go I don't know what Justin Justin thank goodness I have this GPS cuz I have no idea where I'm [Applause] going oh yeah I was in eighth gear no wonder oh my gosh even though I don't ride bikes all the time I can already tell a difference in just the extreme quality of this bike I'm easily able to maneuver over these rocks and sticks and whatnot please don't make fun of me I'm obviously not a mountain biker I'm just a skateboarder from England I never ridden a mountain bike all of these little rocks and stuff are like throwing me off man the chamo is also making my pedals super [Applause] slippery one thing I will say that was quite obvious my seat is definitely not comfortable whatsoever it's just crazy how beautiful it is in the mountains I really need a mountain bike more oh Andrew you caught up how'd you pass Isaac that was easy work you're right about the seat it's very uncomfortable oh I knew I would be ow oh my [Applause] gosh this my new least favorite hobby this is so [Music] hard guys we've only went. n miles no no I have a whole new appreciation for this sport I didn't realize how hard it was to ride a bike with sticks and rocks and stuff it's so much harder to go uphill I've already lost most of my snacks all I got left is a couple chips and some water bottles watch me try and get over this that didn't sound good am I okay I think so I'm getting the hang of it guys if you know how to work the gears it makes going uphill so much easier oh easy dude this is so fun this uphill is nuts oh more knobs oh my gosh this is so steep it's getting a little sketch woo wow this is so beautiful now I see why people do this sport you get these kind of views but I'm surrounded by Beauty wa wa guys this looks like a pretty big hill I'm kind of scared here we go full send oh shiver my Timbers oh no oh gosh oh no ouch oh goodness I go oh no Blakes or whatever his name is oh smoothly Glides over the Rocks man where's Andrew and I this is so bad dude I feel so sick these prickly things are hitting my legs ouch the biggest problem with my bike is the back tire slips out so much I don't know why does that I'm not a biking guy I'm just trying to pedal and I'm go nowhere just saw Justin go up over that hill over there I'll take a sip of water and continue on okay definitely need to work out more I'm already out of breath it looks like we've only went 42 Mi Energy Chews mountainberry flavor organic too let's give these a try M dude these are good oh my gosh that goes like vertical is that the trail right there where the vertical horizontal come on baby let's go I made it over that oh goodness yeah you got it Andrew this is a lot harder than I anticipated the hardest part about this bike is I go to Pedal the back wheel just spins you watch me go up this so see oh so you basically have to be sitting down where's Isaac who I see Isaac kind of reminds me of froto and Sam coming up the mountain to Mountain Doom Who's Isaac then no them to are Sam and fro wa I wish I had that bike Here Comes Isaac let's go boys the top of the hill is right here with the lake Oh my legs are all scraped to bits this has got to be one of the worst Sports oh gosh no what you got to be careful I SI well it's a nice view at least I'm want to puke are you okay yeah I'm okay I've been grinding hard in the gym losing weight but I still have a long way to go I'm super out of shape I Dro my camera down the mountain I need to volunteer to go get it but your camera's out on your head the box of it maybe the Propel no we can leave that no you need the big papa that'll fuel you feel like such a loser where'd your milk go long gone next stop the mountain lake we got a long way to go though look the top of the Mountain's right here then I think it's all flat from there come on Sam here we go picking up speed now boys the shifting on this thing is like immediate response it's phenomenal yeah this is tough oh c this no my water bottle how'd that fall [Applause] out could be a little sketchy at Parts not going to lie and I'm kind of getting the hang of it a little bit oh right over the big rock the worst part is definitely these bushes on either side keep scraping up my legs pretty bad 2 hours we haven't even gone a mile yet oh you Ser woo I have some other good snacks in here guys cookies and cream stoop awful let's give this a try I'll give that a 10 out of 10 [Applause] oh there's justtin I stopped thank [Applause] goodness ah surely your legs are cut up now no I have I have a couple scrapes trying to trade bikes no you want to trade bikes I bik ow he it's that [Music] time I told you it was going to be nasty tastes like cake butter I'm going to have an energy boost in no time about at the halfway point guys how's the ride been for you guys so far I would definitely prefer a better bike I would prefer to not be on a bike so this hasn't made you want a bike anymore no I've gained a new respect for the sport though I didn't realize how hard it is to just keep the bike straight while you're on this kind of terrain it just makes me want to bike more because I feel like I'm not even exper experiencing mountain biking this makes me want a mountain bike more because we're in such an amazing location that I'm like feel like it's like clearing my my mind a little bit so for anyone who's cracked at this good for you guys I'll stick to the streets stick to e scoters I'll stick hey you want you want any snacks or wait you got your own snacks I had my own snacks lost a lot of them I got nothing left guys I'm so out of shape I did not realize how out of shape I was till just now we're going to keep going guys we're going to finish this track I'm going to make my my dad proud of me he's already proud but semi- disappointed it as well he's going to be disappointed when he watches this video I thought I taught you how to ride bikes on a plus side I have experienced zero chafing thanks to chamoy butter proud sponsor of Isaac just kidding not a sponsor whoa downhill dude this is epic [Applause] whoa oh yeah dude this is fun we guys this part is looking like a scary downhill oh gosh oh my goodness wa oh oh gosh I'm getting some real speed now oh my woo oh gosh oh oh woo yeah W okay this is pretty cool excuse me thank you I know downhill is a Vibe I don't want to go back that way I'm kind of getting it now like this is a terrible road bike cuz when you're going that fast it doesn't pedal did you change your gears which ones what the wa wow look at this dude this is so epic I want to jump in so bad random Reservoir in the middle of the lake in the middle of the lake I know have you ever seen one of those before I have now I'm so greasy this was a such a silly mistake what part putting Cho all over my body definitely it's good in the certain parts but if you put on your legs gets all your pedals it makes them slippery if you put it on your chest mixes with the sweat turns into a big old chamoy soup we made it halfway halfway well we have to go back a can we not get airlifted out of here if you were a mountain biker and want your tush to be cush this is where it's at mine is 0% comfy I'm like if I had this that' be make it probably way better we're new mountain bikers so I think realistically most people don't even sit on the seet right put in the comments are we supposed to be sitting on our seats or not we got to get fully ingrained in the culture you look pretty epic too cuz that shirt is sick I mean this shirt's pretty fire if you're at school just point I'm going to go shamoy we good bro sh please sponsor us please please please please please please sponsor us please ready to go back ready yeah okay let's finish this mission 1 2 3 CH for the boys oh this has been a super fun experience for me thus far guys being able to take a step outside of my comfort zone cuz I've never really done mountain biking like this but it's so fun it's been such a good experience good workout and like I said I feel like my mind feels clear doing this so I'm like man I want to do this more so you guys should definitely try it and look at Isaac you're killing it I maybe on the electric bike still wa for the boys woo W this is the type of exhaustion I could deal with fresh air oh sorry I almost crashed just trying to chat with you guys but I guess I'll Focus so I don't fall off the cliff after much effort in time we made it back to the bottom my experience 10 out of 10 after the downhill I'm going to give it a solid 7 and 1 half out of 10 I I would do it again didn't cha it all that was fun it was pretty fun but this bike is too small for me my knees were like cramped like this the whole time knees hurt but H just get a bike from a bike shop yeah ultimately I think my mega seat might have sabotaged me in in the end probably not made for this kind of Trail let us know what you guys think in the comments down below we'd love to read them and get the new J merch J shop.com a whole line the J2 Adventure Club you can join it right now check it out we'll see you on the next episode goodbye we just got to the trail head of the mountain bike trail um I have we live oh no and people need it when they're they've been in trouble I don't I've never once chafed
