Sam Hill: Megavalanche 2017 A edit by Alex Rankin

[@peterrabbitwarren]

Sam Hill is a deadset Aussie legend. Why haven’t I ever heard of him? He should be up there with Ian Thorpe Andrew Johns Garry Ablett etc

[@iggyblitz8739]

Because mountain biking needs a higher profile in Aus, most of the big events are in the U S. and Europe, Australia nerds to have more events in Aus, particularly international ones.

[@Mububban23]

That slow-mo shot at 1:24 is an insanely good example of the stresses a mountain bike has to cope with!!! Great shot!

[@BockaufBiken]

If i realized im blocking Sam Hill i would have jumped off the trail immediately.

[@cri_su]

haha!!

[@iggyblitz8739]

Respect !👍

[@nawowas8818]

sweet shortcut in the woods! if i knew about that one...

[@shadostorm8375]

And ure EWS no1 now! Congrats Sam!

[@suflexpro]

Sam Hill #1 cheers bro

[@jacobgreen3891]

Good on ya m8! Crush that enduro overall!

[@maxelvlast1791]

that guy blocking sam in orange desperately needed a punch in the face

[@GumptionZA]

things went into hyperspace when he got past!

[@shlep444]

yeh but dont forget that its a race... letting people past is not really a winning strategy..

[@maxelvlast1791]

Shlep fair point, if they were almost going at the same speed then you could argue that but this is more like an amateur blocking a pro, he needs to respect that he isn't the best rider on the mountain

[@miked4750]

He out-qualified Sam Hill so he isn't going to move over lightly, then again most french riders at mega aren't exactly brimming with sportsmanship...

[@Smith000006]

Hopefully he gets a chance to watch this video so he can see himself looking like an asshat.

[@mtbjd3046]

Sick closing speed once you made that pass.

[@mattbagley2496]

“Excuse me mate, I’m trying to get to warp fucking 10 here mate”

[@evandrodias876]

yeah! Great video !!

[@butchgreene]

Ok...thr guy near the end in the yellow jersey that drifted all the way down the bank in front of you...impressive.

[@O6i]

those kind of races look so fun but brutal cardio for sure

[@ioanparry]

I can vouch having done it in 2014, it is BRUTAL on yer cardio and your thighs!!

[@thomastellier2268]

Nice one goose :) awesome reference

[@cri_su]

flat pedal for medal!!! best riding style!

[@nicoloweiss6529]

how Sam goes after he takes over the orange rider, 10 secs he caught up with the others ahead.

[@averagejoerider6352]

Super Sam ha!

[@Ben_dps]

Nice edit

[@bibismacks]

tough race mate

[@renewyouretreatsadventures3225]

Someone please tell me who that band is. Excellent video thanks

[@alexrankin]

hookworms is the main track, info in the credits

[@Bazza-tw3vg]

What a rider Sam Hill is a beast

[@lovingitlots]

It was at 5:28 when that rider realised he qas holding up Sam Hill....💨💨

[@EnglertRacing96]

qualifying with a flat front, boss as fuck

[@hazaryigit2287]

Just chaos

[@thisoldmtb3815]

thought hill doesn’t like taking short cuts and cutting the course? Boy is still fast when he is let loose though

[@Farthendur]

Thats Ratboy at 3:32!

[@cappakid9555]

Sam has to smile a bit more :D He looks like a nice guy but always when he talks I feel sory for me without a reason :o Nice video! Cheers

[@noahr2011]

He never smiles because he is still traumatized by his crash in the last corner of world champs in 2008😂

[@electricdeckhead3083]

5 times downhill world champion, currently second in ews and came 6 outright in the last downhill world cup series on this enduro rig on flats, yeah reckon he's over that one, lmao

[@thibautnoah2599]

The jump before the crash was massive, aswell as the comment (LOOOK HOW FAST HE GOES ! ) xD

[@Guoenyi]

Few spots orange rider could have let Sam pass.

[@tommyfarrell2964]

The Mega carbon rs is my dream bike

[@living4adrenaline]

Carbon for DH? Sounds pretty gay, steel is real and can be welded back together. Carbon is mostly ridden by wannabe competitive riders who are slow or have money to throw down the drain.

[@copyth5748]

That a mega 275 I see there XD i would have zipped past on my Pulse

[@butchgreene]

Sam, love the courtesy to the orange rider. But surely you had to stuff someone off their rocker? The video kept getting edited every time you passes a fella. Was intentional to avoid showing confrontation. Those other guys usually act.like douches when they get past or crash I to you trying to keep you from passing.

[@israeljoshuaurquico3968]

like 444x cross race hahahaha

[@seun263]

LoL............ heuuuuuuuuuuuuu ok

[@andrewbairsto292]

Now that is boring.
