Sam Pilgrim shreds a recumbent.

For those that don’t know, Sam Pilgrim is a MTB slope style rider of some international success. He also has a YouTube channel where he does all sorts of silly things on bicycles, for eg off reading an ordinary and off reading a BSO to destruction.
This time he’s riding a recumbent off road, and even wheelies it.
Here’s the video
OK, it’s only a mild recumbent, but it’s definitely not an uprong.

Just goes to show it's the rider not the ride. I wouldn't even do that on the latest full-sus enduro-freeride-downhill-wotever. Nor would I even really want to. And yeah, those pedals do look crap!

Not surprised he has a front tooth missing
I've taken the S40 offroad on some minor COR stuff, it makes picking your route very interesting. I imagine BP on Grunhilda would have a better time of it.

I recall a blog post where Ben of Kinetics build up a spare Streetmachine frame as an off-roader, for
SCIENCE
. It worked quite well. Ultimately, the limiting factors become the small diameter front wheel and how much you can shift your body mass around.

I remember seeing a couple of local “gravel” recumbents in Denmark in 1997, with dual 559 wheels.

When I rode out to hand over the Cycling Plus forum jersey, and got there early, I had a go at the‘Beast of the East’ part of the Black run in Fetfud (Thetford) forest, on the M5 Citymate clwb recumbent…

“Gravel” is often used to describe a wide range of non tarmac surfaces, only a few of which are actual gravel. Disused railways converted to cycle ways can often be ridden on any recumbent, no special adaptions required.
