 Great to see Sam Hill participating (and winning) in other Whistler Crankworks events this year.

Also, great to see Blenki back on form his MSA training crash. Blenki for King.

 Turn the volume up you can here Sam give him some choice words! Classic Aussie @bulletbassman:

 @slumgullion: I don’t say this lightly, and one never wants to mess with someone’s living, but that guy should get fired if he was working for a MTB outfit somewhere. Sam handled it incredibly well and was luckily able to brake and reroute, just letting a simple “Get off the track, mate!” sum up his thoughts, but man, how wrong that could have gone. Season ending wrong for Hill who’s almost wrapped up a second consecutive EWS overall. What a jackass, and then the tool just smirks and looks down at his shot, laughing it off like he knew better that the line was unrideable and what was Sam going on about. Total clueless prick. He should’ve been sending Sam an apology by that point.

 @catfish9797: Man, I am actually furious watching this guy. Doesn't even get off the track, just stands there continuing to f*ck around with his camera. It's like watching a gif that loops and gets funnier and funnier each loop, only I am getting furiouser and furiouser.
