Is he ever going to leave? I hope not. Sam Pilgrim is NS, NS is Sam Pilgrim.

Yea, Söderström went to Spec, they gave him short chainstays which crushed his career like they did with EC, Hill and Gwin... or not... we will never know if these are assumptions of the dumbest people in the world or truth...

Wrong article. Go find somewhere else to grind your axe.

since when are long chainstays good for dirt jumps?

At any rate fuck Spec. NS shoulda kept Soder. Give Pilgrim to Spec.

^they're not slaves. Ns didn't own soder. Is it possible specialized put a big offer down for Martin and simply didn't for Sam? I think it possible.

Yeah if you didn't know, you'd think he was a hillbilly. (us.patent.no:8375,678/1)

Question is, Rampage??

adamconradx (Jan 20, 2015 at 5:44)

answer is, nope! hes too 'scared' but yeah who the hell wouldnt be , i guess for him the risk versus reward is a bit sketchy

adamconradx (Jan 20, 2015 at 7:32)

not sure if sarcasm cuz they said NS in HUGE lettres, or they are bars from a different manufacturer but blacked out

jaha222 (Jan 20, 2015 at 8:20)

i think he is more of a dirt jumper than big mountain, and the bars are NS evidence i think

Dryb1as (Jan 20, 2015 at 8:29)

NS = Not Scared

Kieran-Young (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:23)

Nah they're NS Evidence I'm sure.

kdstones (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:35)

Rampage probably just isn't worth it to him... It really makes no sense to sacrifice your entire career for one crazy dangerous competition that simply isn't your style of riding.

Rich-Downhill28 (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:38)

@HutchJR Yeah he's not wrong for missing rampage. Rampage has naff prize money for what is probably double the chance of death in comparison to other events, it's all fun and games until someone falls down one of the canyons, he obviously realizes his life/ability to walk is more important than Rampage glory, fair play to him!

Thought Rampage was pretty naff overall this year, Storch's first time (?) at Rampage and he throws some fat backflip on the knife edge and it lands him in last place if I remember... :L

lsmillie (Jan 20, 2015 at 17:23)

Yea I was stoked on storch's run

Theeeeo (Jan 20, 2015 at 23:46)

glad im not the only one, fingers crossed he fucking kills it next year

Sam is a little mental and runs his hard tail and bucket lid anywhere.

Mountain-Nut (Jan 21, 2015 at 3:51)

If Sam Pilgrim wasn't with NS. Who would he be with. There are not many bike manufacturers that fit that sort of vibe and I can only see him riding bikes like NS

I think he needs to get himself a Eccentric as well.

adwamski (Jan 20, 2015 at 5:04)

Pipes bruv, too big for guns

tobiusmaximum (Jan 21, 2015 at 2:49)

I wanna see an FMB punch machine challenge. After a big competition. And a skinful.

NS Snabb for everything else - Just not riding uphill.

nhp890 (Jan 20, 2015 at 8:24)

This rider is not a freerider. He is a dirt tricky jumper and thats it. He farted in Munick and went to Rampage just to show off couse his lines there was so ridiculous. Look at his scary face doing that shity drop with a lake in the back hahahahahaha... he is definitly not my idoll.

Petair75 (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:14)

He is a sick rider man!!! he doesn't deserve that kinda talk... you should go on YouTube and check out "road bike party 2" featuring him... you might change you mind.... not many people in the world can do what this guy can do...

jaha222 (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:40)

oh no a Sam pilgrim the dirt jumper isn't a dh riders biggest idol cus he was scared of doing something at rampage. Big whoop

BSal (Jan 20, 2015 at 12:43)

Some one has their bra on too tight.

mudmandhbrazil (Jan 21, 2015 at 6:48)

road bike party is for clowns!!!

BSal (Jan 21, 2015 at 7:15)

You, lady, are a clown. Go join the circus.
