AdamOdh (May 4, 2018 at 6:41)

I wanna see that guy on that bike on a WC podium with an extra gold medal for mad style.

Sam is amazing and these grips rock! I've been riding them for a year, and I put a pair on my daughter's bike too! Soft, great grip, and looks amazing as well. You can buy replacement grip without clamps for $12!!!

Best thing about a new bike and his form coming into this season, Blenkinsop edits are back In.

hyroller80 (May 3, 2018 at 11:44)

Its no surprise Blenki was 4th last race in Croatia. This dude has been one of the fastest riders on the planet for some time now. If he continues this form he will surely end up on the podium this year...or he will ride so fast, he will go back in time...anyone think he can hit 88mph?

vl95 (May 3, 2018 at 8:12)

this bike gives me faith again ...

matmattmatthew (May 3, 2018 at 11:25)

Where are all the people crying about how you can't get "loose" on a 29er? Videos like that make me want to get back into DH.

rcrdrvr (May 4, 2018 at 2:24)

he's tall enough that bike looks like a 26...that's why it still looks deadly cool

AlexS1 (May 4, 2018 at 6:27)

Sam just opened the floodgate... more will follow.

Blenky 2018 WC champ

LiquidSpin (May 3, 2018 at 17:54)

First time ever on Pinkbike where I like the photos more than the video. Just the clouds, mountains and the rider is just so bad ass. The video is top notch for sure so I'm definitely not knocking it...but when I saw the first two photos my jaw dropped!

George1220 (May 3, 2018 at 8:22)

so sick! the crowns on the new boxxer look rad

metaam (May 3, 2018 at 11:50)

Some Remarkable views there.

owenbfoster (May 3, 2018 at 12:51)

Such radness. Great stills as well.

I think he just about dusted the old knuckles @ 0:20 eeek.

paulhaysom (May 3, 2018 at 8:20)

Sick edit Scrobb and tidy photos Cam!

UkDevers (May 3, 2018 at 13:00)

Might well be the first comments section without - props I’ve seen on PB, Well I be damned!! Sick edit, style for miles! Off out to buy me some new grips!

Luniapuanrider (May 3, 2018 at 14:55)

"You know my steez"
"Let em know, do your thing God" "Keep it live"
"To the beat y'all"

Man he's so steezy !!! Wishing you the best for the season Blenky!!! Go a git a f***in goold lol

blowmyfuse (May 4, 2018 at 7:32)

Had to go back and watch his World Cup win at Schladming when he was 19.
@stikmanglaspell you loud!!!

Chingus-Dude (May 3, 2018 at 9:54)

I’ve been asking for a video of him for a while. So happy they finally did one!

fracasnoxteam (May 3, 2018 at 14:05)

I wish I could ride 25% as stylish. Blenki' still my favorite since, not day one, but not far. This man as some nitroglycerin in his muscles.

WoodenCrow (May 4, 2018 at 20:34)

Jaw dropping Wow. Thanks to everyone on this one - that's the most incredible editing I've seen anywhere. Gotta try hard Not to watch this right before next ride... or at least til I bump up the life insurance.

vlajko (May 3, 2018 at 8:21)

someone is gonna end up with no skin on their palms after this video

DirtyHal (May 3, 2018 at 8:29)

That was so sick, I had to start it over 3 times.

PauRexs (May 3, 2018 at 9:20)

Sure ain't about gloves!

Chingus-Dude (May 3, 2018 at 9:55)

I’m gettin’ em. I ride gloveless as well and I go through grips like nobodys business

krazieghost (May 3, 2018 at 20:27)

@Chingus-Dude: get some gloves. it'll help

excavator666 (May 3, 2018 at 8:32)

DirtCrab (May 3, 2018 at 8:55)

Aaand this one is going to be on repeat today.

garbagecan4130 (May 3, 2018 at 8:56)

its all because of that fancy new Norco. Would be faster if he had the red one.

weeesel (May 3, 2018 at 9:52)

WOW! this ticks all my boxes, multiple times...

Lookinforit (May 3, 2018 at 10:36)

These Deity edits are just stunner after stunner

squiffybiker (May 3, 2018 at 10:52)

I want his bike, his riding style, his riding skills and to be able to ride that trail...all instantly.

oldfaith (May 3, 2018 at 10:58)

This made my day! Amazing work from everyone involved. Thank you!

Nmie (May 3, 2018 at 11:29)

I am too high to watch this! Holy fuck!

Andybass (May 3, 2018 at 13:21)

Nice Style! The Black Boxxer looks so much better than the red one.

flipside1 (May 3, 2018 at 14:55)

That's what World Cup speed looks like... Damn!

filmdrew (May 3, 2018 at 16:17)

These photos are amazing!

hg604 (May 3, 2018 at 19:55)

Vid was rad... but there's like 7 photo of the year candidates there too!

dirtbagluvin (May 3, 2018 at 22:43)

That was some hot shit! Get on with your bad self Blenky. I'm a no glover too

mrwynnewillson (May 4, 2018 at 0:07)

Hockerz (May 4, 2018 at 1:36)

Joe27 (May 4, 2018 at 3:22)

Looks like Coronet DH and Fernhill loop it is!

eliotem (May 6, 2018 at 1:49)

Awesome to see some different trails like Remarks in there too.

Joe27 (May 6, 2018 at 7:04)

@eliotem: Never crossed my mind that there are trails there. Access wise— is it via Kingston?

glasvagas (May 4, 2018 at 3:44)

Minted style.

E9G (May 4, 2018 at 5:06)

I was thinking the same thing. I wish these edits were raw or had music without vocals

ThatOtherGuy420 (May 3, 2018 at 16:41)

all he knows how to do is a whip.which are way to over rated.sure it might feel nice to do but everyone does them in vids like this, is a little creativity too much to ask for.

BrendanVDB (May 3, 2018 at 18:40)

Really? I'm sorry, am I replying to a pro, somebody that can ride better than Sam? He made a rowdy trail look smooth, sorry he wasn't riding a smooth trail pulling tricks everywhere.
Your ignorance is not excused.
