Sequence Saturday 57

Mar 30, 2013

bigquotesIs there anything left that hasn't been said about Sam Pilgrim? When his person is being described it's always in a superlative and positive light... even when he does silly things! Maybe that's why we like him so much? I couldn't be happier with myself for spending some quality time with this radical dude. And I can tell you one thing - his mad skills, attitude, and sense of humour in person is exactly what you see in video edits and photographs. Another great thing which comes with being a photographer is telling the riders what to do next during photoshoots. Sure, sometimes even Sam Pilgrim himself scratches his head when he hears my unrealistic ideas, but for the most part it works fine. Here, you can see my special request for your viewing pleasure: a superman backflip. - Simon 'Lunatyk' Nieborak

 at some point in their lives, all mountain bikers who truly believe in steez should make a 'pilgrimage' to see this idol of the greebs in action...

 And here we have The dirt jumper in his natural environment performing his annual courtship ritual. To impress the female of the species, the male will pull all kinds of whips, flips and spins, as she looks on eagerly for those all important tell tale signs. Here we see him perform a Superman back flip and then ride off towards the female to see if she is suitably impressed. His style, height and degree of smoothness and rad vocab will dictate whether or not mating will take place later that eveningWink or will she simply search for another mate with more impressive skills.

 I didnt think it was that bad of a comment. I said it because of the weird camera position, in some bushes, looks like it could be a wildlife narrator trying to talk about his subject with out him being seen or scaring him off. Or not.

 In the last 2/3 years Sam Pilgrim has just wiped the floor with everyone else! Unbelievable what he can do on a mountain bike! So sick!

 Stylish and fluid! Sam the king of style! the full sequence is very nice, but I don't think there is one valid single shot.
Flat light.
shot 3!!! perfect position, but if it was taken detached in the sky like in shot4, it would be a great shot... but it is a sequence isn't it?!?!

 Sam Pilgrim is a real rider! after starting dirtjump a couple of years back, i noticed him mentioned by a few friends so i thought id check out some of his videos, and since then, its become very obvious that he is a truly gifted and talented rider! gaining a podium position in most of the contests he enters, he is an inspiration to many riders all around the world, his daring and unique style definitely puts him way above the likes of his opponents! his new california edit is truly amazing with the worlds first flair in on an mtb! i will continue to follow him on facebook, Pinkbike and youtube as a supporter and hopefully he and the world of mountainbiking in general will become a much more recognised sport, if so, it would undoubtedly lead to wider world fame for this unsung inspiration, i hope he continues to compete globally along with all the other riders which inspire young people so much! for as long as he is riding, he will continue to represent by far one of the greatest sports on the planet!

 I was looking out for this backpack since half a year i think...
But you showed me - I don´t need it. Sam`s like: "Thank god i commented the last PinkbikeSequences so badly ... a backpack definitely doesn´t fits into this pictures!"
Looks like everything is looking better without one...
The Backpackcake is a lie...
