What are Sam Hill's Secrets to Success? - Video

 He spends 0hrs in the Pinkbike comments section?

 1) Sam Hill is a legend who's riding and presence is so unbelievably large in the sport despite being such a quiet person in front of the camera. 2) Not sure he "spilled all" so much as he trickled a tiny morsel...if that... Back to 1), Sam Hill should go down as one of the best riders of all time. I love watching his creative line choice and positioning on the bike that always seems to be there for him- except for that one time in 2008 at Val di Sol. I've loved the transition to EWS and hope he can continue to raise the bar of competition and continue to prove that good old fashion stellar riding wins races- and a lot of hard work.

 The title should be "What in the Sam Hill are Sam Hill's Secrets to Success?"

 The eyebrows

 Knuckle shields.

 If this legend never picked up I mountain bike, I wouldn't have either! Big role model since I was young and all because we share the same name!

 he seems not afraid of putting a foot down in tech corners sections. If you watch the video, he is calm and collected and putting a foot down in corners seems perfectly normal as opposed to a last minute effort not to crash for most racers.

 French lines, balls and talent.

 I met Sam 3 times and he's such a nice person and friendly guy. His passion really is riding and loves bikes. So glad to see him ride Enduro and doing well.

Photo of him I took at MSA a few years ago:

 No matter what type of bike he rides his style is the same. You can tell it's him from afar coming down the hill by his style.

 One of my favorite riders ever. I miss seeing him and Nathan Rennie in DH.

 OMG OMG OMG, a Sam Hill feature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (blushes like a school girl) half the male mtb population has a secret man crush on this guy. he's cool looking, bad ass, rides like a monster and says almost nothing. he's the Cool Hand Luke of mountain biking.

 secret? genetics and creative lines?

 In summary:
1. Hard work
2. Love and appreciate what you do
3. Look at the winds of change
4. (He didn't say it but I am) Flat pedals win medals!

 Before he even gets on a bike, he is a family man, therein lies a huge portion of his success - he couldn't do it without them

Naturally a fast & smooth rider with top line choice & oversized kahuna's

 Kangaroo Meat

 there is a secret knowledge on body biomechanics and also a secret trick to build your bike to ride at that level.

 NO Secrets, JUST hard work & Flat pedals !!!!!!!!

 What a tease of a headline!

What indeed will the famously laconic Same Hill have to say about the secrets of his success?

 All of you are wrong:

It's the hand flappy thing he does before he sets off.

 Is it riding faster than the other guys?

 Bring back the techy dh tracks so we can see this guy kill it again

 Love that last photo of him, a man who is glad to never have to ride Leogang again.

 This video could've been "Sam Hill's Secrets to Making a Sandwich," and I'd still watch it.

 He's a beast.

 Sam hill is down hill's evil twin who happen to be flat pedaln!!

 Flat pedals.....
