I'M BACK RIDING MTB SLOPESTYLE CONTESTS AGAIN! - COPENRIDE DENMARK

[@ronanhogan2466]

Love how everyone is in full face helmets with all the protection on and then there's Sam with a little bucket on his head in a T-shirt

[@rushbberlin1131]

MAX!!

[@thebr0wnhornet]

Prob only one who puts his bike together with a hammer and a brick too

[@rushbberlin1131]

@@thebr0wnhornet but atleast it works🤣

[@Jacobligg]

Because hes an absolute beast

[@bigbarrelbr]

Sam's precision in doing tricks in any place and any condition is absurd, allied with a huge know how in crashing, he always eject at the right moment being safe.

[@kenevil4206]

Considering you were playing it relatively safe, you definitely still kicked it with the big guns.

Cheers dude!!

[@junaidahali2850]

🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@SvenSan]

Sam is such an OG in this :D Everyone else with the guccied out bikes and the fullface helmets and Sam just rides, casually talking to the cam during his first run doing all of them tricks^^

[@AxlMetcalf]

What’s a guccied out bike? hope parts?

[@SamPilgrim]

😂👍

[@Losovox]

@@AxlMetcalf probs just fancy, expensive parts and all that

[@dansacco1964]

Cool to think of how many riders he could be competing against soon that are in the sport because of him. Its a young man's game for sure. Just showing up and leaving uninjured is a win.

[@SvenSan]

@@Losovox what you said, since jump bikes don't have a lot of parts they usually go for the shiniest most expensive stuff their sponsors have. Sam just changed his BB which is pretty sick^^ He also painted his forks with a can :D

[@davidmiller2050]

You can still do things that most of us dream of doing, the things you come up with are insane sometimes, but always entertaining, and your excitement for life is infectious!

[@SamPilgrim]

Glad you like the vids dude! :)

[@larnbaldwin]

Legend mate , can’t wait to see you learning new tricks again ! Gonna be sweet

[@schreiterroman]

*Gonna be epic

[@nickwidley6205]

@sampilgrim so ready to send more double flips

[@mattwxholt6843]

Sam, I'm not much for commenting on youtube but I've been watching your videos for awhile and felt like I should. The fact that you went to a top level event like that on 3 hours of sleep and did that well is amazing. Don't let the results deter you in any way, shape or form. Your skill level and composure will get you thru when the young bucks nervousness gets to them. Keep up the competition and I sincerely believe you'll surprise yourself at how well you do!

[@SamPilgrim]

Thanks man!! 🤙

[@4navajomjs745]

Ditto!! It's truth, you are an amazing and gifted rider. We appreciate your videos and the love and respect you show the sport - don't let this get to you!!

[@simpletonsimon]

Totally agree, respect Sam 👊

[@25inspector]

The mental preparation for an athletic competition like this must be huge! To try and maintain one's focus and be ready to perform under pressure. Amazing athletes!

[@SamPilgrim]

🤙🤙

[@robbchastain3036]

You rode well, Sam, and you had fun, so a win-win, for sure. And hey, they went to all that effort to construct those drops and ramps and everything, great that you got to ride them and let us come along for the ride. Just get some more sleep next time and you'll be hauling home a trophy as the best bowler in all the league. :)

[@jeremye9963]

Good effort man! Close call on the qualify, must have been a fun trip either way. Strange course setup.

[@stevesmith1986ss]

Listening to the young bucks reactions when you send the big quarter, shows you still got it ✊

[@DominicClifton]

totally!

[@64Spokes]

Sams a goat he doesn’t need to win anything he’s already won at life 💪

[@jamesboyce5804]

TRUTH!

[@LPx007]

Welcome back Sam!! It doesn't matter if you didn't get to the finals, you've still got it!🤘🏻😎 Btw, can't wait to see some street videos of that amazing city!

[@benjleath9406]

That’s a good video bud,can really see what’s involved with that camera,one of your best videos I’ve seen ! Keep up the good work man thanks for sharing !!

[@SpencerRides]

Don't be so hard on yourself man. You are a legend! Just you being at the contest, doing your thing, is so bad ass.

[@consuminglight]

There's hundreds of awesome riders to follow, but none are as interesting as Pilgrims. He's definitely the best personality out there in MTB.

[@oneninemx8266]

Still and always will be my favourite. Nobody can match your level of enthusiasm and energy and that’s what its all about.

[@ashleytombs]

The moment I would never thought would happen again Sam pilgrim back on the slope style seen there’s life in the old dog yet watch out Max Fredrickson and Matt Matt Jones the old master is back Crankworks Has it got your name on it go get them tiger For people who don’t know Sam was ranked number one in the world for awhile

[@mymorristribe]

Wow Sam, that was such a raw and genuine experience story. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@cedarbremner8750]

I admire your spirit and determination to have a good time even in less than ideal conditions. You definitely seem like the glue of excitement that holds the riders together. TO THE SKY 🤙🤙

[@lcdchase]

Love that you got a staircase of doom in there!

[@banger-fn6du]

31 is not old...you will see this later in life. make a go of it or not. you are an amazing rider. just enjoy your gift

[@smb7647]

Sam your a legend and legends never get old, you give me much inspiration to keep peddling at 57,,cheers mate

[@GelMibson-u2y]

these young guns were looking up to you when they were still learning barspins! keep at it man.... win or lose, its good content, and with 1.5 million subs, you know those sponsors are happy! Here's to two million!

[@jasonfox2449]

So glad you are riding competitions again. Its so fun to watch.

[@aaronjackson3067]

Keep doing the comps man! We love seeing these events

[@PachezZ]

Seeing you in the morning, tired and kinda reconsidering your choices was so much refreshing... don't get me wrong, I love your constant excitement, but this, this is what makes you much more "human" :D

[@jonathanporter5223]

Really dope to see Sam back in a contest. I imagine it can be quite challenging to get back into it, but can only get easier after the first one.

[@cashvanderpol3935]

Love seeing you in comps again

[@mitchellsmyth3859]

You got nothing to prove Sam ur a legend of mountain biking. And what you’ve done/continue to do does so much for the sport. Was sick to see u back in contests but you gotta do what makes u happy man👊🏼

[@steveharry9891]

Well done Sam....you would've qualified with a bar spin...so that tells you how good you are and how much you can keep with the others .... and let's face it ..i competed in international power lifting events ....and think there was only 2 or 3 that went as it should ....and as a 50 year old mtb that's only just starting bmx skate parking ...your an inspiration...keep it going ...

[@dr07828]

I imagine most people like Sam, start out as a kid having fun. Learning tricks, and loving it. As they progress, they end up in competitions. and in the beginning they start out doing the competition just for fun. But as they get better, competitions become a career, until they basically retire from it. Sam here, has traversed that, and has been able to keep doing what he loves, and now he is doing competitions for fun, and loving every minute of it. Amazing.

[@hydorah]

I love it when you're competing! I love the videos where we see the community, other riders and how the tricks develop. Those young 'uns love you! You were just unlucky to drop it in the same place on both runs. If one run was clean you'd have been in the finals! You did an amazing job and should no way be deterred

[@brandonkinzler3188]

I love your honesty at the end. You did not just blame your lack of sleep. You took it on the chin like a true athlete.

[@Rampagedd]

Your the man we want to see at these competitions!

[@JStoneDrums]

Don't normally comment Sam, but just wanna say you're my absolute inspiration and a big reason I've got into bikes so much. You're the absolute top of the game in the inspiration department

[@robthompson1399]

You are a total legend. It's just one comp. You ledge, we salute you.

[@legaltechinnovations1594]

Thanks for bring us with you Sam. Gutted you did not get to the final. 100% sure you will return like the champion that you are

[@dolffazer1000]

Pls do more comps dude, it's so refreshing to see you with the big boys again🤘🏻

[@suvespa]

When you say young sport...old age...31....made me feel like a grandpa lol...that's why you are one of the best you test and go beyond boundaries 👍

[@aaronspencer8192]

Really enjoyed the commentary on a real scene! Chin up, your were pushing for more. Competitive spirit is better than a qualy! Also, your attitude made all the difference...lots of up-comers watching this and watching you there. You are a leader and a legend! Cheers!

[@deeplato5647]

*MEGA SAM* Still in the form. One of the best slope style event logs recorded. *Well Pro* !

[@rickspeight5108]

Despite the conditions and unfortunate events of the day…still blown away with the riding and entertainment factor! Easily my favourite rider by far! Great video!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Hammenfors]

It was EPIC meeting u at the event and seeing u ride that good🔥🤙

[@mauricebruns1028]

You definitely still have if skills to match with the other lads. You came 7th in the 1st qualifying round - that’s quite impressive; especially as your 1st competition in ages. Then the conditions were terrible. Head high; and look towards the next one. 🤙🏻👍🏻🍀

[@radimnossek4834]

This the first time i see you not smiling on the early practice :DDD

[@dewimiddleton3765]

Keep doing comps! You’re insane and don’t need to win, we all love seeing you ride with all the others regardless. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Gasguy70]

Sam.. Don't be bummed dude. You gotta go for it, 110% kudos for entering the comp.. Big balls young man.. Keeping reaching to the ssskkkkkyyyyyy

[@Kubafalkowski97]

Those big jumps you can feel thru the screen! Brave characters required You and Max always best at it 💪💪

[@musicluva2023]

The best thing I love about these birds is you end everything on a positive, you definatly still kicked it with the biguns some of the stuff you do is just insane

[@itastain]

I love how despite being competitors everyone was cheering or giving props during the practice sessions. Kinda wholesome :)

[@Arbigale]

The fact that Sam is a legend already, even those athletes look up to you❤️

[@Antonskanalify]

This was a really honest and great video man! You're awsome!

[@DJ_NR6]

Get after it again sir. The top is crazy, they can throw their tricks so fast, it is all about repetition and grinding out the movements. You have the talent and the skills.

[@anthonyestevez118]

Don't feel down Sam. You're still out there killing it! Great content! Thanks for sharing!

[@fishn365]

Dude, not that you're old or anything..cuz I'm older and still feel young..you did a fantastic job. Don't hang your head, instead, lift up that chin. You did awesome! Good for you to take it on. Thanks for letting us share in the fun.

[@munkensa]

Welcome to Denmark 😁🇩🇰🇬🇧🤘 and well done 💪Absolutely an honor having You here, looking forward to the next vid😊

[@xCoolBreezex]

Yeah man don’t sweat it It’s awesome that you can continue living the dream and share it with the channel Stay shredding!

[@sanabibimtb]

Awesome stuff dude as always! Legend hats 🎩 off to you from me and my Channel for all that you have done and inspired us to be thank you 🙏❤️

[@Whitejesselink]

Hey if you go that druggy town Christiania, and ask someone to show you the dirt jump park right across the canal, there is an INSANE very tightly packed dirt jump track like you wouldn't believe. It's insane. The roll ins are tree houses. It's in-between netto, and Christiania. Huge banked corner and so many lines.

[@tccjaira9188]

Keep on shredding 🤙 you're still the winner for me 🥇🔥

[@kww1966]

That area looked slippery... I seen you do so many micro FLARES off concrete and it's like magic every time. And when you slide out it shows you are only human... Glad to see you back out there. And BTW... Men hit a weird peak at 50 so just keep doing you BooBoo! Unless your doing Dusty... lol

[@maestrofm]

You are biggest inspiration for me to ride a bike, so much positive energy! cheers from Poland

[@Bicycle_Fungi]

That was a great vid. Great insight into the reality of a comp situation. I can barely talk after that little amount of sleep. Keep up the shredding 👊

[@andyukh1625]

Still a winner in my eyes Sam, the man with the shreddy content, keep up the good work …….👏🏽💪🏾

[@nessie42786]

Damn that first flair caught me off guard. Total 🔥🔥🔥 You killed it. Don’t get too in your head. You had the competition worried. That last 1/4 was wonky and slick. Don’t give up you’ll get em next round. Thanks for the amazing video 👍

[@mattgb666]

Mate! 14th in a group of probably the top slopestyle riders in the world is bloody awesome. And it was just a small miss on the list trick too. Nothing to be worried about. Go shred the next comp and you'll smash it like the Audi 9's!

[@Red1Actual]

Never be upset for giving it full SENDITURE on that flare! That was an epic vid, and we need to see more of you in comps!

[@bunk8991]

Def still can kick it! Awesome to see you in an event and allowing us to come along.

[@MarioPolovic-xe1bb]

No sleeping. And doing 3 dimensions space rotation. You are doing excellent. As tower crane operator doing my work while not sleeping..... It's affecting my ability to work very fast.... Or on top level. It affects my 3 dimensions... Or space abilities. Later when I drive bicycle... Without sleeping or having a 2,3 hour of sleeping..... It affects my driving ability.... To judge speed, space and distance.... Like I was drinking. Lack of sleep have similar effect as drinking.... On driving bicycle and driving big crane on construction site. Lack of sleep affect my language skills. Excellent driving.

[@danielu1763]

The longer I watch your channel, the more impressive you appear, both as a rider and a person.

[@leeh1157]

Looking forward to Seeing you do the AUDI NINES in a couple weeks! Good luck 👍

[@jonhegseth]

Would love to see you keep doing these competitions! So cool getting a behind the scene look into these events and get a first hand point of view. Just getting the dust off with this events, keep going!

[@cirrusdesigngroup]

Nice work Sam...loved that you put everything at risk by doing what you wanted to do...there is no fail when you go big...

[@emilbroskovnielsen6264]

It was a pleasure to meet you Sam. And see all the sick tricks you do!

[@djsonfire0001]

That was awesome!! Great job Sam!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@MichelGraafAlmelo]

Dont be to hard on yourself. I’ve seen videos of you riding with al de contest pros and they aren’t killing it on the urban terrain like you do. And that are the kind of videos we like the most! Keep it epic mate! 🤘🏻

[@C_Haberstoked]

You always kill it in my opinion. Good on you for getting back out there even if it didn't work out. Rest up mate!

[@BenDeakinMTB]

So sick to see the Pilg back at it! Killing it mate 🔥🔥🔥

[@rnburley]

Thanks for the 'real' vid dude. Sometimes things don't work out but you still made the most of it and will be back for sure. Looking forward to the street vids.

[@13LAIR-R]

You had barely any sleep and still smashed it ! Takes alot to get in the zone sometimes.. looking forward to the street riding

[@bobtknob]

Competition craft is the same as race craft, if you’ve not been at a comp, you’ll not be used to it! You’ve still got it

[@DangerousDav]

We love you Sam no matter what you do!👍 Silly o'clock is hard for anyone not just old boys👍😂 You'll nail that flare in the next one and you knows it 🏆

[@richiklassen9642]

Really enjoy all your vids Sam!!! Thank you!

Don't be disappointed, stick at it with the comps you killed it regardless of the flair on the little quarter!

[@Wheelsanstuff]

Awesome to watch. You’re definitely still crushing it!

[@paulclingan9727]

Never give up on yourself, remember success comes in can's, you CAN compete , you CAN qualify... Just send it!!!!
