Is Style Better than Speed in Mountain Biking? | Rob Warner Meets Sam Blenkinsop

► Follow Rob Meets Season 3 on Red Bull TV - win.gs/RobMeetsS3
Hailing from the mountain bike Mecca of New Zealand, Sam Blenkinsop is one of the most stylish riders to have graced the UCI World Cup circuit. Famed for his seemingly loose riding style, Blenki is racing downhill his way, and he's taking no prisoners.
Armed with a fishing rod, and a whole heap of trust, Rob Warner spends some time with Blenki in his hometown of Christchurch.

I think Chris Bentchetler (epic skier) said it best. "There comes a point when all the possibilities of tricks (or time) have been done.,. But Style is always evolving and will never die. Style is a love letter to a sport.

[@BlueLineRider]

Enjoyment, that should be the key factor in every ride that we do, be it a faster strava time, longer air time, steazier time. -local legend is right.

[@bbuilt5343]

I remember that crash in the woods at Rotorua worlds, i was standing at the finish and so gutted! We still had Cam take it out but Sams run was something else, you could feel how important it was for Sam! buzzy seeing its still a highlight for him after all these years travelling the globe

[@LOVEisTHEultimateLAW]

style is making him happy so he perform the race more in a flow mode !

[@classactracing]

Rob is a good commentator and can shred. We couldn't imagine Red Bull going with someone else who is "proper" and reserved. Rob's great. Funny as hell!

[@BulletBilbo]

Rob: He learnt a lot off you I'd like to think. Sam: I learnt alot off him as well Next level humble. What a top bloke!

[@mogulhopper]

Rob looks so much better than without the Super Mario look he currently sports , another great video Redbull , love this series

[@bedetorrance5437]

What a great New Zealander.

[@binkzera2777]

Although Sam Blenkinsop is absolutely amazing, and probably more skilled and stylish than I’ll ever be, I still think that Brendan Fairclough is the most stylish racer, if not the most stylish mountain biker ever.

[@fabian12369139]

and Kade is coming fast to replace him, don't you think?

[@TheFullKanani]

No way Kaos is the best!

[@Fll3VY]

[@krazy8820]

When blenkinsop wears a life jacket you know theres a serious chance that youre gonna end up in the water.

[@jorgeluis3039]

Omigodd

[@mikeg2939]

Love watching Blenki race but sometimes I think he needs to concentrate on going forwards more rather than upwards if he wants more podiums.

[@renzcloydmartizano3384]

Rob looks different without the beard

[@Philoniousmonk]

Christian Bale to play Blinky

[@wketchin]

He looks like a young bear grylls

[@faciesetduos8714]

WARNER... just without.. style speed talent

[@living4adrenaline]

If you are trying to get sponsored maybe, but style doesn't win races!

[@krischdjan2608]

Has Blenki German Roots? His acsent is really similar to germans who speaks english...

[@LewisfromYouTube]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

[@southpawlibranine3511]

It's not exactly like Rob is a noob on the bike.

[@Chip_in]

[@burbinoutdoors1993]

One like = one more soldier to storm Area 51!!

[@Fll3VY]

[@raivkka4313]

Rob, stop complaining about nothing, it's annoying!

[@brokinarrow1]

who ever laid out that masters course doesn't have a clue on what makes a good or great downhill course.

[@dasanoneia4730]

Rob Warner is not Young Talent

[@rafemaxwell4143]

Lame title. Get out there and enjoy yourself and push it at whatever part of the sport makes you feel the best.

[@momhkh9623]

Phil atwill has more style
