We need this to be longer! I could listen to him talk about mtb for hours. God damn legend that boy!

[@sultanabran1]

because he doesn't say much, but what he does say seems to be on the money.

[@dhcycful]

Sam is to me the symbol of downhill, a level changer, GG BROTHER!!

[@draf5219]

I'm watching this and in the back of my head i can see his 2008 World Champs run and Rob Warner screaming to mic "Look how fast he is going!!!". Amazing rider

[@hobmarg]

Come back to watch that run mulitple times a year, so fucking fast.

[@twostrokeandsawdust]

This guy is a legend! Met him at our local pool about a year ago, one of the most approachable pro riders there is.

[@mitchwarren1600]

Just makes you feel good about flats especially when you're mates have tried to convince you otherwise

[@davros666]

Can't stop watching this vid, what a legend.

[@respectablebogan3276]

YEEAAH SAM!! Such an amazing dude, words fail to describe everything he has achieved.

[@midlifebiker7424]

DH loss, EWS gain. CRC seems the right team for Sam, no BS just do your thing. I hope Sam goes into coaching after he finishes racing, so much knowledge.

[@garethbeddoes7752]

Love Sam's view! Spot on

[@ConorScullyTV]

still watching his 10 year old Earthed 5 section on a regular basis🤘 (Love the comment about fort william last year!)

[@IlyaFedorov]

[@seppmaier3050]

He looks very relaxed and happy.

[@881Gino]

What a legend! I'm a proud West Aussie when I watch interviews with Sam and watch him ride.

[@paulahner2101]

He is just roadin his boik

[@skiboardordie]

Mate!

[@nickadams8952]

they have actually got rid of that tree section at fort william sam mentioned so as not to embarass the riders who couldnt hack it.

[@rosscayley8773]

And now back to back EWS championships to hammer home those points. Go Sam!

[@Jack1dg]

[@danscomp66]

Hell yeah we need more rough tracks That fort Williams year he is talking about was the best year ever survivability and Skill to get through it.

He’s old school and I love it! DH has become soft! 100%

[@lloydboulton7791]

Awesome rider

[@jbee1fam]

Awesome!

[@duroxkilo]

there's a huge sensory jump from riding on the bike to riding with the bike.. just like learning to walk, at some point with experience, the focus changes from just keeping balance :}

[@christianlindner1861]

FLATout on FLAT pedals !!! \m/

[@sultanabran1]

man of few words. lets his riding to the talking.

[@larrykates3910]

FUCK YES!!!!! You are the man!!

[@garethbeddoes7752]

Also, clipped in is for tour de France

[@danscomp66]

Sam Hill need to start conducting new tracks for proper downhill.

[@janeblogs324]

3:32 what does the "interviewer" say? Would be nice if they adjusted audio levels before uploading, or just pushed the compressor button

[@zchirs1973]

Sam hill 我来了！！！

[@JB-mw5rg]

Legend! Be clipped in and boring! :)

[@euansbikemaintenanceuk2111]

Flats all day everyday and 29ers r ment for xc not dh I run 27.5 on my trail bike and 26 on my long travel bike

[@MegaCharns]

I stopped riding when my 26 Inch Intense DH bike stopped being cool

[@CalgaryDynastar]

Whoever disliked this video clearly doesn't ride flats

[@sultanabran1]

xc riders

[@fastoez]

Why has Champery disappeared from the WC? Too many bike park tracks, 29" has ruined DH, its all about cashing in from the brands now! Sad

[@munteanuion5605]

Keep it real , face in face , no shit talking !

[@elvislad]

Fuck me does the camera have to be so close!?!

[@Deathonaplatter]

Flat pedals AKA fun pedals. Nothing like watching someone stuck clipped in take a goofy fall.

[@Rapid_gherkinz]

I'm a flat pedal rider

[@bikefiend12]

Flat pedals always party!

[@xristoskalandrias2834]

29er has more speed and less teqnique , that is why Sam went enduro racing..

[@carnsoaks1]

I think Sam & Joshy B have the same sorta mindset & can see why Ratboy might make a go of EWS in the end too. Better trails, more skills needed. You watch these guys, they used to be hopping lines & gaps in the mid 20's and you see how few DH tracks have enough to suit their skills nowadays. TOO many frigging berms & fire trails & road gaps in the new DH series. There'll be speed traps & long jumps everywhere ... with girls breaking their necks next...& boys dropping shoulders & losing careers simply for Redbull Highlights Reels
