A group of friends purchased a $95 bike from Walmart with the intention of destroying it and then returning it for a full refund. They took the bike to a skate park, where they rode it and performed various stunts, causing significant damage to the bike. The bike's sprocket guard broke off, the brakes stopped working, and the frame became bent. After the bike became unrideable, they physically destroyed it by throwing it off a roof. They then returned the damaged bike to Walmart and received a full refund of $95.59. The group warned against buying Walmart bikes, especially for kids, as they are cheaply made and can be dangerous.
