 The man gets injured and people automaticly write him off which goes to show people are only on the bandwagon with winning riders..im sure his weight gain would be something got to do with whatever steriods/painkillers he was on to help him heal..sure hes a bit cocky but im sure everyone on here would be if they ever stood on a world cup podium! Another case of internet trolls! Sam Hill is still a legend no matter what Smile

 He is not cocky, he is just introspective.

 He sure is stoked on life...

 as good a rider as he is, and as proud as i am to be australian, sam hill isnt my favourite rider purely because of his personality, like, my fav rider is gee atherton,over sam, just because he's a nicer guy...
  • 44 3
 .....to much enthusiasm sam

 He's def a man of few words.

 sam i think you need to go on a diet mate! lookin abit chubby!
  • 12 3
 for a world class athlete hes got abit of a belly
  • 5 3
 agreed^^ but i just want to say that the pure silence exept the noise of his bike at the end was awsome ..it gave a cool erie feeling
  • 4 1
 i think his skills and career resume speaks for itself. Carry on Sam. hope to see u @ worlds.
  • 5 1
 even if he had the double weight he is now he would knock the hell out of everyone of us in a DH run.....

This vid shows that he is more than a professional

 only a spastic would like gee over sam...
  • 17 2
 That was rather boring to be honest...
  • 5 1
 agreed. I could care less about him picking shit up from the post office, riding moto, getting shit framed. I would like to see what kind of DH training he does and stuff like that.

 Watch: Sam Hill on fire!

 Why Sam is getting FAT? He's walking like a fat man... how can it be possible? A genuine Athlete...

 it doent matter much to him. hes still bloody fast!

 this was also shot 6 months ago in the off season.... bound to gain a few pounds

 yea. i dont really care if hes getting big. hes one of the worlds fastest riders

 ACL surgery, shoulder surgery...He's not 100%, but he's still the reigning World Champ.

 p'raps he's a DUD ROOT...!
  • 8 1
 Just because he isnt a skinny kid, like most of you doesent make him fat haha..also I dont think it said anywhere in the discription "48 hours of insane riding with Sam Hill" ..seemed more like a little bit of lifestyle footy.
  • 6 1
 Atleast when Sam win's he doesnt look pissed off and complain about it like Gwin. Hes a role model and a good one at that. He keeps to himself and doesnt throw shit fits like alot of other pros do. Id be shy too if the spotlight were on me like that!

 Agreed!

 let me grab one of my 6 demos just chillin there

 @ all the '- guys', you either have demos or you are jealous, Thank you, keep up the 'neg. work'.
It seems that humor has left the building.

 @ mozarle
You're being a douche.
  • 4 1
 V10s kinda feel like shit. I'm glad you're confident with your personal purchase, if you happen to have made that mistake.
  • 33 5
 How exactly can someone in Greece afford 6 V10s?
  • 3 1
 ^ that was so mean! Razz
  • 4 5
 He's most likely the reason why greece is bankrupt...
  • 5 2
 Facepalm
  • 6 1
 @ nickf. I am surprised that an american finds v10 shit. Fortunately I own none it was just a joke to mikeonetray13 comment.
@ DanB25. How exactly someone can be so stupid to believe that someone else owns 6 bikes & especially the same model?
@ undercoverfreak. It seems that your country is not doing it better either...If something happen to us you are next.
  • 2 1
 Actually Spain's next...
  • 5 3
 Of course it is, I just bought 4 new Session 88s.
  • 2 3
 Yeah the funny thin is, Spain's only one spot above Greece on the "most f*cked economies in Europe" ladder
  • 5 1
 Something more funny is that as soon as we go bankrupt, and we wont have to pay those high interest loans, we'll actually have money for 6 V10's but the rest of the Europe wont. But that has nothing to do with Sam Hill
  • 7 2
 And I will buy 6 more Trek session 9.9 just to kill time, not to mention Marc. 888 ti so that I have spares to melt. I am extremely surprised that 16years old kids who don't even know how to spell their name, know about economy!... I also tend to believe that the very same kids have more talent in spending their parents money in fancy bikes instead of being proper riders. But that has nothing to do with Sam Hill.
  • 1 2
 Spyretto has a valid point. And is the name thing aimed at me? Because I can sleek my name perfectly. A

 Sam is a champ, always will be. Even if he does have a beer belly and a bit of the Ozzy Osbourne thing going on. Who can forget Val Di Sole or Champery...

 WHAT? Ozzy is from Brittan. Maybe you should read his book. its a good read.

 Don't know where everyones getting this impression of cockiness from? He just doesn't like talking

 kinda sad video , not exactly how you make one of the best DH racer ever shine on screen.
And Sam Hill can shine, everyone who as seen him race a mountain bike knows.

there is one thing i really like see Sam Hill do, : pin a mountain bike down a steep proper track. Nobody does it like him. Some migh have been faster in some races(not alot tho), some migh have more style, but in the end, he's exeptional on a bike, i dont think someone could argue about that.
not really the funnest guy to see chill around his house, drive around, show his shinny stuff, ride MX, ....talk.

 I like the part with his helmets. " Here are my helmets". All 50 of them!! lol. When watching him briefly on the Follow Me video he seemed to have a bit more of life in him as he does in this video. Either way he's still an amazing rider!
  • 5 1
 I sense a bit of decline here and I trully and honestly wish I'm 100% wrong and he'll come back stronger.

 I'm sure he will be firing on all cylinders by the time Worlds rolls around, especially as it's on 'his' track...

 @cherouvim...''a bit of decline'' ??? he's the actual World Champ for god's sake !!!

 yah but he has had some gnarly crashes lately i think dingus is rite tho

 he's been hurting since the beginning of the season...he even passed on the Aussie nat'l champs this year....but now, his shoulder is just messed up....I just hope he'll be ready for the World's

 Sam is a classic Aussie bloke, thats why you see the other Aussie comments are loving it. They know. Surf boards, motos, pushies and probably a BMX or two lying around. He dosent say much because whats to talk about when your living the life. Would you rather he be high fiving everyone or giving speeches about how cool his life is?? Also, some, or most of Austrailas best athletes are beer belly champions! It's part of the culture....... god bless em! Some of my best mates are aussies and most of them are a bunch of w@Nkers! I guess you have to go there to get it?

 who in the Downhill cups is fat like Sam? He's getting overweight maybe because of the physics law... How heavy you're, faster you go down! :-)

 i'm suprized he races motorcross. i would think he would do worlds better at offroad enduro's or harescrambles just because of the similar trail

 The first Post said:

"im sure his weight gain would be something got to do with whatever steriods/painkillers he was on to help him heal..sure hes a bit cocky but im sure everyone on here would be if they ever stood on a world cup podium!"

Dan Atherton, Fabien Barel, CG and a lot of others riders get body injury and dont get this overweight... hes was getting overweight before the injury...

About be Cocky...this is not about be a WC Champion... this is personal...

 Good point well made there mate Smile Just reckon everyone has their own way of healing and all do things very differently.Lets just hope hes back on form next season eh and we get to see some class racing from him again..we know what hes capable of so thats why I wish everyone would give him a break bout his weight.
  • 4 1
 sam is still a legend! im sure he will be back on his game in no time, no doubt about it Smile
