The Pinkbike Hot Lap is our own fun leaderboard of pros and bike industry friends. Riders put their best foot forward down a trail local to Pinkbike HQ and their time is recorded with a Freelap timing system.
This time we have legend Sam Hill to take on the challenge and post a time for the Pinkbike Hot Lap. We take a look at Sam's bike and go over some line choices before he puts his time down.
The Track The trail used is called Credit Line. This was chosen as we consider it to be a pretty complete mountain bike trail that tests various riders' skills.

Pinkbike article (when he was battling it out with Nico at one EWS race) did say Sam was "arguably the greatest bike handler"
Because he was working.
(I’m reading between the lines here).
How does he even ride that thing?
What the hell is wrong with you? Why do some men want to watch the world burn?
Try Googling 'ERGONOMICS', son.
You've never heard it before?
pretty much summed up credit line right there!
everyone else: its basically marbles on top of crisco.
I've never ridden this trail before (and imply that everyone else has, loads).
I'm tired from racing yesterday.
There's loads of cheat lines that I valiantly didn't take.
Haha good on ya
