THE HARDEST CRASH I'VE EVER HAD? - CRANKWORX MTB SLOPESTYLE

[@anothermike4825]

Take care of yourself Sam, I watch you for your personality as well as your skill. I think you made the right decision, you don't want to force it and end up out for a while.

@@tarstarkusz Even if Sam injures himself in one of these contests, chances that he would have to give up making KZbin videos are super slim.

[@TescoRoadman]

@@tarstarkusz Sam loves the sport, that’s why he still does these contests. It’s a personal achievement for him when he can still hang with all the young guys at his age. That’s what he likes doing. He’s a former world champion for god sake, not like he’s some amateur who picked up biking in his spare time Who are you to tell someone how they should be living their life? Not everything is about money my guy

[@JeremyCroteau96]

I was there and videoed the first 3 features. I heard the announcer and everyone getting loud when the crash happened and I get there within 2 minutes and this guy is signing everything for all the kids around! What an absolute legend, was awesome to watch you in person!

[@youtubeviewer9523]

Heal up soon Sam! I still believe that you will be able to get back into the comp scene and get invited to diamond-level events. Keep up the hard work and the rad videos!

Dude whatever. He wants to do it so let him. He probably won’t be a world champ again but so be it

[@TescoRoadman]

@@tarstarkusz I’ve already answered that but you’re deliberately ignoring it. He’s in these events because it’s his PASSION, lmao 😂. He lives and breaths bikes He knows he probably isn’t going to win, that’s not why he does it. He does it to prove to himself he still has it. The same reason people deadlift extremely heavy weight in the gym, it’s not for anyone else, it’s for their own personal achievement If you don’t understand that then there’s no helping you. You talk like you know him, FREAK

[@OldFatSlow72]

So sorry bro. That sucks. I think that you made the right decision.

[@athiftsabit1208]

"I did make into the finals but i gave my spot up to one of the other rider which hopefully he can do better than me", what a word, this is why you're loved.

[@davidmiller2050]

In the couple of years I've been watching you I think that's the hardest crash you've had, considering all the stuff you pull off! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip!

[@waynesworld0425]

Get well soon mate! You'll defs comeback stronger! 🤙🏼

[@mattmiller5673]

Sam you are a huge motivation to so many people. You make me want to ride every day!! I am happy to see it was not a serious injury. I am waiting for the next video and the great things you bring to the Internet. Cheers to you for being such an inspiration.

[@bhew7409]

Health over wealth mate, you hit the floor so hard 😬 The fact you qualified for crankworx final with just your first run after such a long break from comps is sick!

[@suesheane3671]

So stoked to see you back in contests! Glad you're ok and good to go at the next one. 🤙' to the sky '

[@ChuckSupernaturalist]

Its so amazing you came to ride at the mountain my boyfriend and I frequent every weekend! We decided to watch an hour of finals between riding on sunday, and you were there in the crowd! I couldnt believe it! The best part was I got to meet you in person and get a picture with you. That small moment will stand out in my memory as one of the best moments of my life. As someone whos only been riding for the last 2 years, watching your videos inspire me to constantly push myself and aim to do better. You are hands down my favorite rider, from your skill to the content you make to your down to earth personality! You never fail to amaze me by being able to do a flare on literally anything, especially at the pump track we ride on here in Vernon. I was so heart broken when I watched this because I could tell how let down you were at not being able to compete after placing for finals. But just know I was just as excited to see you there in the crowd as I would have been to see you ride! I hope your injury heals quickly and you can continue to kill it at riding, because I know you would have been on that podium and you deserved to be on it. You make every day epic for fans like me, dont let this small defeat keep you down. I know youll rise above it and come back better than ever!

[@colinclanet2290]

What I really like about you Sam, il your constant smile, the way you see things positively no matter what. You’re an inspiration to me 🙏 take care mate

[@kataleya]

I was about to write the same kind of comment, Sam's mentality is great, always seeing the bright side, his hard but good decision about not forcing on his injury, also his behavior and kind acts regarding other riders. All these specificities makes me appreciate what he is and what he does. Take care y'all ✌️

[@perolerrik9856]

I wish you a speedy recovery. Accidents like these are part of this game, I guess, but you will come out of this even stronger. You are the best.

[@guapo7197]

Love watching you roll with the young bucks. The ground is definitely harder with some age. Awesome vids Mr!

[@ophillipso5954]

Your channel continues to inspire old and young mate. Keep it up. Love to see you back in the comps.

[@BR1NGTH3P4YNE]

I'd send the clip of you falling off to your local council and be like "This is why I need my own training grounds, To practice these tricks and stop myself from eating dirt" Hope you get better soon, Love the energy you have after every crash!

[@X0X0LFertilizer]

I’m glad you weren’t seriously injured but more so glad you said no and didn’t risk injuring yourself more dude. Imo , you are one hell of a rider and considering you’ve barely rode this course you did phenomenal. It’s not just about who’s the most skilled, personality matters a lot too. And you are such a awesome funny dude , so positive and motivating. Please for the love of god be careful and take good care of yourself Sam. Much love , respect and kindness from Niagara Falls, Ontario

[@Fantic156]

Steady on young fella, I'm 62 so can say that, you did a good thing there, letting someone go up to the final rather than you potentially hurting yourself more. Way to go, what MTB's are about .. 😜

[@1000sofusernames]

Yeah, getting towards the 50 number and those injuries just don't heal anymore. Spent my teens and early twenties riding when I shouldn't have and you pay the price later on in life.

[@jhubsy]

Glad you're on the mend! With Big White and a couple weeks in Whistler still to come it sounds like you made the right decision not to risk further injury. Rooting for ya! Thx for everything you do! If you're back in Western Canada next year I'll have to make the trip and check out a comp!

[@danielbermingrud3655]

Heal up brother!, glad you didnt ride on a hurting hand!

[@charlesgrigson6436]

Listen Sam, you're still da best, man! I mean that sincerely. Back when i used to do all the crazy stuff on my bike slopestyle wasn't even a thing yet, lol. U just had bearclaw switching over from bmx and doing stuff like flat drop 360s. Just thank your lucky stars that you've been able to do all that you have and pray that u never have a major low back injury because they can be absolutely career ending. You're starting to fill that old veteran spot like Ryan nyquist did a few yrs ago when he switched over briefly to mtb where u are always going to get the roar of the crowd and be a fan favorite anytime u make the finals regardless of the finish. I've always been a fan since u first burst on the tour as a young bright eyed bushy tailed buck all those years ago and you've already reached the summit, man. Not that many people can say they ever had a 1st place finish at a major fmb event much less no. 1 for the season. Keep your head up, mate and keep on shredding. You're an inspiration to us old geezers and more importantly to the young kiddos on the come up that keep pushing and progressing the sport

[@JBoushGD]

The fact that you can hear how sad Sam is for not being able to compete in the finals even on video really shows how disappointed he was… 😞

[@jimhofoss9982]

hope you heal up well, and enjoy your trip thru Beautiful British Columbia

[@philipB31]

When I learned to scuba dive, there was an expression (something like): it’s better to quit a dive and dive another day. I guess it boils down to something on lines of: however much you want to do something, if it doesn’t feel right, then you should accept that and move on to the next thing. We’d have all loved to have seen you take a podium, but health is much more important - be well and stay safe… we’re rooting for you!

[@nathanb101]

Sam, you don't need to be the best to have these viewers, we all watch you for the personality. You gave it your all mate and what a wicked performance. Good luck at white!! To the sky

[@540s89]

Get well Sam! Took it like a champ!

[@cfcman1975]

That crash was insane and you got up and muttered " OW " and walked away like a BOSS....! I hope it doesn't take you to long to recover, keep up the good work Sam

[@IanPalmgren]

Missed qualies and was wondering why I didn't see you in the finals. Frustrating! Gasped audibly when I saw Marcell go down, glad both of you are okay and stoked to see you throw down at Big White!

[@techjunkie68smusicandtech56]

Hi Sam it's good you listened to your body after such a crash, it wouldn't have been wise to carry on with such pain. I wish you a speedy recovery! I enjoy watching your antics on your bikes and with great personality too, it is fun to watch you!

[@bubu02]

Get well soon Sam. You´re the greatest Rider for me.

[@maxopalski]

I totally understand the feeling of not being able to compete in what your doing and it’s an horrible feeling but you will get back to and be shredding again. Your the man!

That was awesome dude! Crashing defo gets more painful in your 30s and that was a big old hit. Spare a thought for us who are about about to hit 40 😂. Pleased you're back riding a mere. few days later

[@cerinicholls6143]

You put absolutely everything into every run you do. That’s the dream dude! You’re living it. Your body will repair, you will be back on it before you know it!

[@briAction]

Sorry you crashed. You made the right decision though. Getting hurt and sitting out is never fun but it's better than risking getting even more hurt. At least this way there will be future contests. Also getting old is hell 😂

[@anthonyestevez118]

Sam, I just want to say I'm glad you didn't try to ride. No reason to make it worse. I'm sure it was tough for you. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best wishes!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

Since you're out there for a month, you should visit north Idaho, and go have some fun with the guys at Grind Hard Plumbing Company! Take it easy with the wrist, dude. I bet they have some vehicles that will be easy on your wrist, while still crazy fun!!! THEY INVENTED THE HIGH HORSEPOWER ADULT POWER WHEELS. 😎

Been watching pilgrim for years now and this is the first time I’ve ever seen him crash hard. The amount of crazy stuff this guy has done and got away with he is very lucky to have had so little crashes yet so unlucky to crash at such an event. Love your videos Sam hope you feel better soon man🙌
