Such a good rider, but it's so difficult to get a good interview with him! Such short answers! Hopefully he dominates this weekend.

katinasd (Sep 6, 2010 at 13:20)

Not a bad talker considering he was raised and fed by kangeroo's. Whatever man! Congrats Sam!

maxxisHacksis (Sep 6, 2010 at 18:26)

After he drinks a Monster, does he smoke a bowl? He always seems so baked.

gh05tt (Sep 5, 2010 at 17:29)

who cares what he's like to interview??, dude can ride a bike like no one else when he's on!!

Notice all the negative comments are from the whinging poms..."dull", "boring"...what because he doesnt talk himself up or take his shirt off every 10 secs???

Australian domination again!! from a country with little hills for tracks, 3 world champs, nuff said, just awesome!!

jumpbikejames (Sep 5, 2010 at 6:54)

adam-mitchell (Sep 5, 2010 at 2:44)

sam is so awkward to interview!

42

panzer103 (Sep 5, 2010 at 4:17)

Very awkward.

73

tbrozz (Sep 5, 2010 at 4:38)

12

adam-mitchell (Sep 6, 2010 at 3:52)

loamer (Sep 5, 2010 at 8:52)

if you met Sam Hill on the street you would never in a million years think he's such an animal on course.

40

bermtastic (Sep 5, 2010 at 11:55)

Pulling info from Hill is like pulling teeth. Too much fair enough fair enough - but all in all good stuff. Even larry king has notes haha

30

mulchee (Sep 5, 2010 at 14:12)

Sam Hill is a machine. Maybe it shows that because he is so calm/deadpan all the time he doesn't get nervous before a race this big?

31

dustinoff (Sep 6, 2010 at 9:21)

Sam Hill. I doubt Monster or Specialized care at this moment how is interview handling skills are....but ideally you want a rider that can endear himself to the public and push the product. Wow what a machine.

11

bryantaber (Nov 19, 2010 at 15:12)

Gee has more personality. Not that important but it's obvious that Sam doesnt really dig the limelight. Just a suggestion, but If you want to continue to be the face of this sport your gonna have to embrace the public part of it.

20

bryantaber (Nov 19, 2010 at 15:36)

I actually just watched the whole interview, and I thought it was better than most of his past interviews. IMO He just has an ultra calm demeanor during interviews and he speaks kind of soft. But I I think he was sharing plenty of information. I shouldnt have commented til I watched the whole thing. Good interview!!!

jackonmabike (Sep 6, 2010 at 9:51)

I know he's a great biker and all, but I gave up watching the interview after 5 minutes when I was only a third of the way through...
Congratz for getting the worlds tho

sarahf (Sep 5, 2010 at 12:01)

xTheRoseRedx (Sep 5, 2010 at 10:28)

He NEVER seems interested or comfortable in any interviews. He is a robot, thats all there is to it.

11

mtnbyker (Sep 5, 2010 at 17:51)

I think hes talking about Hill.

sam-on-specialized (Sep 5, 2010 at 11:41)

Right, Right.. hahaaaaa.

81

mulchee (Sep 5, 2010 at 11:50)

what are you talking about no real knowledge? Lots of these riders are actually his friends he has known for years. This has been totally insightful. good job Brett, Aaron and Pinkbike. Any interviewer has notes - it's called being professional and making sure you hav all your stats.

60

bigairbighair (Sep 5, 2010 at 12:12)

these interviews are awesome. I love the bike weenie mechanical info and seeing what the riders are like. Good stuff.

larock (Sep 5, 2010 at 13:31)

Actually having worked with lots of interviews I have to tell you that Tippie is far and away the best I've worked with. He is able to think so quickly and has such a knack for conversation and has an amazing ability to subtly direct an interviewee to get what he wants out of them. Really rare you find someone who is a legend of his calibre but is also extremely talented on camera. Not to mention it's unbelievable the research he does and the facts he knows about the riders.
