Are you kidding me 90supra? Out of every possible thing you could say about Canada, you think you thought ill rub the fact that Kona is American in their face? Now i see how they get away with such poor bikes.. People like you buy them
No denying Gwin had a great season, but if you're only going to win a single race during the season he sure picked the right one! Wouldn't have meant as much if he'd have won a single WC round, but winning the World Champs?
arron gwin won the world woop tdee doo the only real race that matters on the world circut is the champs fuck yea my fellow english men lets go kick some yankee arse and canadians if you would like to join in be my guest
If this is going to be an argument it should be WA vs SA. Seriously. Sam Hill how many world cups has he won compared to Aaron Gwin (not rubbing it your face just don't kno who has more)
Wow, I just read this. It amuses me how 90supra is 22 years old (probably not), getting lots of negative props, and still he persists and continues to 'troll' and simply be a nuisance on Pinkbike... I just laughed my ass off when I went to the top comment after reading this lot of comments.
I dont normally comment on posts like this but dragging good riders into a childish thing like this is just ridiculous, so can you not please? do you honestly think they would appreciate being rubbed in someones face?
90supra you must be one of those people that talks shit but never rides a bike,unless its a sunday then you get your reduced priced walmart 21 speeder out and act like you can actually ride ,learn to spell stop been a dick and grow up
Really was wondering if SH had any races left in him. Racingt in knee and elbow braces was not that good an image, for DH or for Spec'. Regardless -- good to see Sam Hill be a winner again. +1
Come on guys sure Troy is fast, but maybe Sams prob running at 95% waiting for the season to fully start before they get there new bikes and lay down the real power, Troy beat sam 3 times he is super fast but if you look at 3rd place only 2 and half seconds behind, Mitch is fast but when it comes to world cups he wont be up there so can you really compare whats happening in races not up to world cup standard ????????
if any of you were at the event i think you'll fond that the track was more suited to Sam than Troy, it was steep and technical (but Australian standards) big holes from the mud and wiith the drying track it became increasingly harder to pedal through, Sam's size would hace helped there. i guess im tryin to say that Sam would do better on more pedalier tracks with deep muddy holes than Troy because of his size and experience.
Can't believe I just read all these comments. I lost 45 IQ points. Pretty stoked Sam and Troy were 1-2 for the whole oz season. On to africa, and wait till you see Sam Hill's new Troy Lee Designs D3, holy f@ck. I will drop pics soon.....Faircloughs D3 is looking BOSS too.
I wouldn't say it was a crash so much. More of an off line, caught up in a tree for 2 seconds. Without it though, it would of been super close. He got back to speed straight away. vimeo.com/37917579
I just wanna point out that where he crashed is one of the gnarliest sections on the whole track. straight out of a jump into those massive holes. And its 3x rougher than it looks there.
Wow thats one of the best looking tracks I've seen in australia. Sam and troy getting into the factory rivalry like james stewart and dave milsaps in sx. When the W.C. events start they going to have alot more to worry about than eachother. This is going to be an awesome season of racing. What happen to Bryn Atkinson at this final round?
This season is going to be all time. Hope you guys show up at Hafjell in September for the season finale. The track is great and people are stoked to see the worldcup back in scandinavia for the second time and first for Norway! So stoked and can't wait to see the big rippers tear up the rockgarden!!
Ok Sam is awesome. But has had some problems. Which suck Gwinn had a great season hope he can do it again. Also hope Sam back on his a game. So this year will be f*+=ing insane!!! Than throw Danny hart in the mix. 2012 will be crazy. And don't forget the old guy peaty. You never know. Gee/Minor and all hungary up and comers. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
BoyzzZ Sam just had a lot of luck ! troy had a crash so everthing make up the seconds..... cheers we will see how the first worldcup ends ......i think gwin goes for the win but i wish sam Ãs gonna win !!
They don't realize, it's one race! Troys been beating sam for ages now, and at the end of the day, sams gonna beat him once or twice for sure, but troy's better now I'd say
all due respect to sam, but Troy beat him 3 out of 4 rounds. Sam Hill was THE MAN in the past, but I have doubts how much longer hell compete at such a high level. Troy Brosnan is the future...numbers don't lie
Yes but you have to realise that sam isn't going all out for the win like he will be at the world cups. This is only a national race, It means almost nothing to Sam. Sam's time is sure as hell no over, you just wait mate.
^100% true. its seems like only a few people on pb understand pre world cup season race tactics. I wouldnt be surprised if sam tried at this race just to shut half the people on this website up
alright alright guys sorry haha i respect your argument and it does make sense...i guess well just have to see come WC time...but robbie92 youre just making yourself look ridiculous and uneducated
Good to see Sam clawing his back. Keep it up.

Lets just wait in WC. He's gonna destroy Troy! and Gwin! ( I wish)

s.a. is gonna be badass.
