Does anyone else think that tribute run idea for stevie should be in the top quali spot? Give him the run that a champion deserves, and all the riders that knew him will be at the bottom to share the moment. Plus if it was in the middle of the race, and I was the rider after the tribute run I'd immediately crash due to lack of vision from the tears. Just a thought...

pourquois-pas (May 16, 2016 at 7:13)

Totally agreed. And if the winning rider were to step off the podium to let Stevie's spirit stand there one more time during the ceremony... well, that'd be just about a perfect way to say goodbye.

Great idea. I still can't believe this is real. I'm glad to have witnessed Stevie Smith on top of his game, one of the best.

props to that everyone wants to cheer for him.

metong (May 17, 2016 at 16:47)

It's hard to think that a few weeks ago he was charging again like always and then suddenly life decided to play a trick on a guy who has every right to live and inspire others. How i seriously wish he can have the chance Jon Snow did. No goodbyes stevie.

Still one of my favourite movie segments. I still want a Cove Shocker just because of that section!

Yes, I was thinking how great it was for him to have such a supportive mom, how they probably became closer because of those shuttle rides together, and how much she must hurt now that he's gone.

dhcompriders (May 16, 2016 at 12:09)

You're so right! The Whistler segment of Seasons is a nice one too! We made a trip there in 2009 and riders looked twice at my boyfriend bike. Some young ones said ''Look, it's Steve Smith's bike!!!!''. It wasn't but close call, cause it was Matt Dupelle frame with our parts. We add red Boxxer stickers for a ''clin d'oeil''. I digged this afternoon in our old pics for memories. My favorite video is the WC at MSA in 2013. We were there, at home, and it was awsome! Ride in peace Chainsaw!

guigui333 (May 16, 2016 at 15:52)

So fucking glad we had this moment altogether in MSA.. i'll never forget that

I'll express my specific Thx publicly to Mr. Secco right here. A few articles over a few days is nice...but it's far too soon to let it go. Thank You for this Monday Vid tribute Scott. We/I may not have met Stevie, but Stevie was our Canadian Multi Gold Medal Olympian.

Stevie smith was the guy that brought my biking interest back. And now he makes me shed tears. A true legend! up with some shirts and stickers and I will buy them all..

Such an amazing rider and an awesome person. One of the many gifts Stevie has given us is his passing on of his bike skills and knowledge. You guys know the likes of George Brannigan ride the way they do because they rode with Stevie during those crucial development years. His legacy truly lives on through those guys. #longlivechainsaw

Thanks for gee's face in Leogang and for all your smiles! cheers

ricardojorgefonseca (May 16, 2016 at 3:48)

I couldn´t see last fototribute cause of the tears......pinkbike, you done the wonderfull video tribute ever for a man that lived his life like all of us: whith pry and love for the others.....
The making of in Brazil is the proof that those guys are a verya carying people and the tipe off person that we liked to be.....

THANKS

ruckusrider74 (May 16, 2016 at 16:00)

Same, nothing but tears. I'll never forget Stevie. He's definitely one rider I plan on educating my Son about as he progresses in his biking career. He already sits with me to watch the races, no matter what time, he doesn't really understand life in this way yet, but soon, he'll know what a great person Stevie was. I'm honestly already anxious over what will happen and how they will pay tribute to such a great friend by many. Ghost Ride, special ride, some kind of honour will be well deserved and I'm sure the next race weekend will be tough on all the riders.

Clarkeh (May 16, 2016 at 4:12)

STOP MAKING ME TEAR UP! I'm a man dammit...*sob*

rbka (May 16, 2016 at 16:22)

Thank you pinkbike! I have watched that Rob Parkin tribute video every day since it came out, so tastefully done, short but really catches some of his cheekiness. I can't believe I miss someone I never met this damn much, he just seems like such a great guy ♥ #longlivechainsaw

DANV (May 16, 2016 at 4:52)

Thank you for the memory's Pinkbike and thank you Stevie for showing us all that if you worked hard enough not only could you chase your dreams but you could live them. RIP Stevie Smith.

Norse (May 16, 2016 at 7:43)

Not sure where to find a better version, but this is one of my favorite Stevie clips: v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDQ0OTc5NTQ0.html

Really think PB should add it to the Monday movies.

powderturns (May 16, 2016 at 11:07)

found it here, but oddly can't find it on the vital website itself...

bnqt.com/2012/08/29/steve-smith-wandering

maybe not linked because of some of the commentary at the start? awesome clip though. the lake jumping is classic.

matt5311 (May 16, 2016 at 15:26)

@powderturns: cheers. glad i got to watch it again. that must be where i got "bitches get brooms" from. my girlfriend didn't like it when i said that to her jokingly haha

guigui333 (May 16, 2016 at 15:50)

thanks guys i had never saw this one before

AlexRob (May 16, 2016 at 13:30)

I know it's lame to link my own photo, but I made a tribute to Stevie, McGazza and Dave Mirra and wanted to share it with everyone:

Seriously, wtf 2016...

kenny99 (May 16, 2016 at 10:49)

Very few photos or video of him we see that's he's not smiling from ear to ear. Lived his life the right way! He was an inspiration for everyone and his legacy will live on not only as a rider but as a happy fun loving person. Really hope his mom and family and friends are doing ok and will find the strength - based on what we've seen of his mother she/they will! We won't ever forget him and I'm sure he inspired another generation of canadian rippers that we'll see on the podium one day.

Great compilation of videos Pinkbike. It's great that we can re-live all those memories. Long live Stevie.

LCW1 (May 16, 2016 at 21:18)

The Japan segment was so great yet so sad at the same time... Really captures Stevie's humility and appreciation for life. Tough pill to swallow when he's ask where he sees himself in 5 years... :'(

pijong77 (May 16, 2016 at 5:40)

his last race in Lourdes and in Cairns should also be included.. #longlivechainsaw

wolly96 (May 16, 2016 at 6:07)

the two follow me segments were where i first heard of Steve and instantly became a fan, to include those in this feature is awesome ! thanks Pink Bike

gavlaa (May 16, 2016 at 8:51)

Seems like everyone could learn something from Stevie whether you're a rider or not. Gutted to lose him for the MTB world not because I wanted him to beat Gwin, but also because he just seemed a genuinely sterling human being.

novajustin (May 16, 2016 at 15:47)

I remember seeing a video a couple of years back of Stevie and I think it was in Whistler, I could be wrong there, but the main part of the video that I remember was him going for this MASSIVE gap and he cased it so hard but somehow managed to ride out of it. I can't for the life of me find that video, but his riding in that video was mind blowing.

aXio (May 16, 2016 at 16:02)

Honestly I have been avoiding watching and all the videos and reading many of the articles and posts. I'm still in too much disbelief over this. I would probably be crying through most of the videos.

renno (May 16, 2016 at 3:23)

I'm sure there will be some sort of tribute stevie was a well liked guy and will be sadly mist buy every one its such a shock to loose such a bright star in the mountain bike community rest in peace steve chainsaw smith

Waldon83 (May 16, 2016 at 16:53)

I still can't believe it, I can't believe you're gone . . . . .

Martinezorlando (May 16, 2016 at 20:34)

STEVIE SMITH,i will miss you,a real human living life your way all love,in my day it was JAKE WATSON,that showed me love in are sport,just like you real human,you will ever live on in my mind thank you.

brndnjohnsn (May 16, 2016 at 23:03)

Many tears were shed watching these videos, some sad but most of joy watching Stevie do what he loved. Thank you Scott #LongLiveChainsaw

pwleh (May 16, 2016 at 3:54)

Yeah man drifting like o.a.G

juanzo (May 16, 2016 at 9:51)

Tears again. I didn't known him but I've cried for him more than anyone could expect. What a guy. Hard to explain what means to us this MTB family.

BrotherCraig75 (May 16, 2016 at 10:20)

Thank you Pinkbike for that! And thank you Stevie for the inspiration to Canadian kids and old dudes like me! i think a few laps on the ol DH sled are in order!

valhallascott (May 16, 2016 at 10:51)

WCJMF (May 19, 2016 at 11:15)

I live in Nanaimo and the runs and hills have been saddened since Steve's passing. I imagine that the clouds are pretty gnarly and Steve is rippin them all.
