I've seen the videos though.... Sam Pilgrim, and some others. I started watching them when he went to Walmart and bought some bikes to see if they'd hold up under his usual tricks. Now his videos keep being recommended every time I turn on the computer!
I’m sure you’re right about the generational thing, and my point was just that as more people learn about this type of bike, I think they’ll find the styling, accessibility, and ease-of-use really appealing, which is why I forecast growth of the trend.
I love Pilgrim! He seems so good natured, his riding ability is unbelievable, and he’s a prolific content generator, too, that’s for sure! He must do three vids a month, at least. It would be supercool to see him shred on a PK!
