 Real nice video BTW.
It is amazing that Sam Hill has more influence over mountain biking than everyone else put together.
You would not see a Specialized VOD before he signed for them, no everyone wants a Specialized.
Dave Weagle made his money out of Sam Hill also in the IH days.
Wonder if he signed for Norco or Turner if we would see them everywhere and not a Specialized in sight?

 Im sorry dude, I dont believe a company can become good purely down to a team rider....

flag betsie Plus (Jan 9, 2011 at 13:33)
 I never said they became good down to a rider, not once!

Ok, looking at the evidence:
Did everyone want/have a Sunday ..... yup
...Did nobody want a Demo ..... yup
...Is everyone selling their Sundays ..... yup
...Does everyone now want a Demo.... yup

The enigma that is Sam Hill sells bikes.

Look at the comments from the 1 year ago stage and Matt Hunter is slaying it.

 Thanks for that! Don't think it's VOD worthy but I'm happy with how it turned out. Downhill Dom, how do you delete a Vid you have uploaded? Is it possible? I uploaded this vid with the wrong settings and had to double post. Sorry I'm new to Pinkbike. Cheers

 such a great video indeed!

did you look over the cam, underneath it or left and right from it. It just seems as if you mounted it right where one usually points his eyes. I just wonder how that didn't impair your riding too much...
  • + 1
flag DanosDirect (Aug 10, 2010 at 5:43)
 Yeah it was pretty hard to spot your lines at times because of the size of the gopro. And you have to be careful of trees on tight corners. It can also move your lid around a bit under the weight with the leverage. It's quite a unique perspective but I wouldn't want to ride with it on too often.
