First Hits on the New Swatch Nines 2023 Course!

After 3 weeks of savage building on the incredible ‪@SwatchNines‬ slopestyle and freeride course it's finally...! Still not actually finished. But with rain in the forecast it could be the only chance to test things before the riders arrive for the main event next week. Will it work? We sure hope so! Let's find out if all the hard work from the amazing build team is worth it

Sam's like, "This jump is so safe".. As I'm watching with a bruised heel from a 3 foot step down I bailed on lol.. Love it.

[@tbc_mtb]

Fuck man I haven't even hit a drop over 1 metre yet 😂

[@DanosGarage]

Right! I bruised my taint practicing manuals a couple weeks ago!

[@tbc_mtb]

@@DanosGarage a rogue dropper leaver attack? That's amazing and I shouldn't laugh but I did.

[@DanosGarage]

@@tbc_mtb 🤣🤣 No dropper post. Did have it set too high for what I was doing. Went up and came down right on the tip of the saddle. Had to replace it!😆😆

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

@@DanosGarage Funny enough last time I bruised this same heel I overshot a jump on my DJ and landed heel down in the flat, pelvis on the back of the saddle. Didn't break but it sure looked like it... Full ratchet effect and a nice tire stain up my ass... Sometimes I think it's the stupid falls that get you the worst.

[@gamndoodbrewing8636]

I think we’re going to see Ice do a triple backflip! At least I hope so… Great job testing Sam! 🍻

[@Frorideism]

Decent jumps, I'll stick to casing the curb outside my local library though

[@TimMaddux]

Those mid-air giggles always put a smile on my face.

[@thomasgenon2682]

What a course ! Congrats on the build

[@mrbbqcraig]

Could have flown to the moon on that last jump, the slow mo was peeeeerfect 🤟✨ Can't wait for next week.... cheers to all the crew 👍🎶

[@EvangelosMTB]

[@letsride4653]

[@htnrumpkicker7868]

[@Nakidaii]

Its the Dream 😍😍😍

[@eve-llblyat2576]

that sounds like you gonna try some of these jumps. Right?

[@josht4923]

"If you case it, my bike snaps in half, and if I over shoot, I snap in half "😂😅 0:37

[@uwe_bike]

Coming from Dark Fest Sam is casually cruising these monsters with his merely set up enduro bike 🤣

[@aurelaliasflorian]

exactly

[@larsmtb0616]

I'm still used to Audinines as the name😂

[@OLI-vx1md]

Looks like old grainey film footage with all the ants lol

[@Antjan46]

SiiiiiiiiiiiiK

[@seanwelden4284]

could you explain what it is that they are using for the riding surface? the top 6 inches or so looks way more grey than the rest of the dirt and it seems to pack amazingly and deal with with water really well if it's been raining that much. Is it like crushed gravel with some clay in it or something?

[@mattking8881]

Wondering the same thing. Looks like crush and run

[@henrikhartewig]

can we riding this line after swatch nines?

[@huhupoklop5970]

The Suntour suspension is usualy just really sad, but I understand, that for simulate hardtale, it actualy might be the best, right? :)

[@rowanrobinson]

Are these temporary or permanent? Seems like a lot of work for one comp. Looks sick though. So cool seeing what's involved in the building

[@williamhayes9642]

1:42 looks safe

[@nickes2283]

Will there be any sort of livestream to watch the Event? Or just Videos from the different creators?

[@landenleduc3948]

Anyone think Tom isted gonna trip back?

[@anitalandkroon]

This is amazing 😃😃 if you don't like this then you should sell your bike 😎

[@InitialP_Photography]

Where can we watch this? It's never televised.

[@TweezerShred]

Germany has flying ants😂

[@MrZoo223]

How bout a spine into rock roll or roll in?

[@Moosly]

I don't care what anyone says, a stylish 360 is still the best looking trick on a bike

[@catchit2617]

Idc about the rest of the video I just want to know how tf that one guy overshot a drop by 75 FEET

[@rinky_dinky]

i am certain that the world's best rider's are named Sam . Sam Hill Sam Pilgrim Sam Reynolds Sam Blakeson

[@Dannyjones1]

Sounds weird not calling it the Audi nines...🥴

[@goldenwolf9583]

The course looks sick but I think the quarry was nicer 😢
