Our OZtober celebrations began in style in Perth, Western Australia, where 30 competition winners were invited to join Team CRC/Nukeproof rider Sam Hill for an end of season hang out.



Sam Hill

The first of our events Down Under gave fans the chance to put their questions to the great Australian downhill rider, and Pinkbike were also there to capture the action, chat to Sam about his first season on Team CRC/Nukeproof and ask questions submitted by CRC and Pinkbike readers.

To celebrate this first event in OZtober, we ran a competition where you could win a Nukeproof Mega AM 275 Comp. Sam picked the winner during our hang out…who was Matthew Finney. Congratulations Matthew!

Grant Norris, CRC Global Head of Events said: “What an event to start the OZtober season! Everyone had a brilliant time, and thanks to Sam who took time with all his fans and was more than happy to answer all the questions put forward by CRC customers, Pinkbike readers and the crowd tonight.

We now look forward to The Spring Cycle, Sydney’s landmark road cycling event. See you there!

 Do n' get me wrong, Sam's an awesome rider, but god that was a boring set of answers. He must've said 'awesome' 20 times
What happened to the top question in the pinkbike poll about Gwynny losing all his speed on Sam's old specialized team ???

 I have to agree. I mean it was a quality interview, but it was so 110% serious, and slightly boring. Luckely no one asked what his favourite colour or his favourite number was, because they'd ask him and put it in the interview. It was a good interview, but it could have been more loose and less serious for me. Don't be afraid to ask silly questions to loosen up things and get some more fun and flow into the interview Smile

 Pretty weak ass interview , lots of major questions that had big +'s we're not ask
I reckon this questions were pre selected by pink bike. So let's not have ask any pot questions again he you guys are not going to select the ones with big hits.

 Go Sam Hill! Awesome to hear he's enjoying the sport with his new teammates!

Did anyone else besides me notice that after every single answer he gave he would look to his right afterwards? haha I swear someone over on his right hand side was doing something to distract him haha
