 Ride with Sam Hill or Sam Hill patiently waits for you at the bottom of the trail.

  • 212
 Shuttle up with Sam Hill! Ride in a car with him! Hear him talk for as long as it takes for the shuttle truck to make it to the top of the trail!

 Yea - sneaky basterds, I paid the flight, got raped by border security, off to meet him at the trail head and he just took off! I gaet raebbed! The'tyk'mae priiiize!
  • 160
 i think they will film a movie with the name one shuttle gap>!
  • 231
 How do you know it isn't a tandem ride? Sam barking orders to lean hard as you dive into corners completely blind... doesn't that sound fun and wholly terrifying!
  • 120
 Our longest track in perth is like 2 minutes long....
  • 12
 I WANT TO WIIIIIN!!!!
  • 20
 2 minute track - 4 minute gap from sam. Good try CRC!
  • 10
 Well, now he's injured... we are f*ck**
  • 560
 so now our North American neighbours know how we feel whenever a contest is "North American Residents Only" or some awesome prize I need an airfare to collect.
  • 348
 yea, I can see that on Border Security already: -purpose of visit? - riding bikes with Sam Hill -you con't just say some hill, I need to know specifically where are you going to ridey bikey Sir in order to grant you a permity to enter the country. - I mean Samuel Hill, a downhill rider - ok. Is that a piece of cereal on your jersey? - um yes - that may contain fourms of lifey like mushroms or pesties and can be a direct threatie to our home producy. I will charge you 220 dollyrs and cancel your visa, you will fly homie this eveningie - Nooooooo!
  • 40
 Yeah, kinda. Except the one's run in US or Canada usually include flights or money towards travel, accomodation etc. This is a chance to win a few hours with Sam Hill! Hardly similar really.
  • 251
 ONE contest based outside North America and everyone's suddenly butt-hurt
  • 100
 All it takes is one lol
  • 150
 Not sure this is sudden. Seems like the majority of PinkBike spends the bulk of its time being butt-hurt.
  • 201
 Finally a comp near home. 5 mins away!
  • 100
 Forget about the comp. Just go there anyway, sure prize for you!!
  • 110
 I am entered and willing to travel from the other side of Australia,bring it on
  • 40
 Sam Hill would hate riding with me! Maybe I could ride his bike and he could ride a tricycle. Then maybe I could keep up. I would be super stoked if I won though.
  • 30
 I ask Sam to follow me on the trail... for sure it will be his longest and most stop run in his life haha! to Travel and spend out of my pocket??? ill just wait for the next Sea Otter..
  • 31
 i rode with Same a couple of years a go on a lazy July day, just chillin in Bromont. (me and a train of other guys)

he had dissapeared in 2 corners....well....for him....they were not really corners, that's probably why he was gone so fast.
Obstacle for average riders like me are not even noticed by pro riders. Sam is just on of the best example of that.

i would love to grad a trail with him on all mountain bikes tho, you can learn a lot from ridding with super fast guys.
  • 40
 Damn. Im going to Oz but returning home on the 9th of Oct. Maybe I'll wait for a hang with Tippie contest.
  • 40
 I could probably pay Sam Hill to ride with me for the equivalent of a return flight to Australia would cost...
  • 30
 No travel included has nought to do with airfares. it means you get to ride a hardtail with rigid fork while he is on his mega.
  • 30
 i would give anything to ride with sam!! hes one of the reasons i started to ride!
  • 10
 I'd like to enter, but then transfer it to my friend in Australia... Apparently that's not allowed, so I won't sign up and you have limited how many people world wide will sign up for your email blasts...
  • 10
 i actually participated in a gravity enduro with Sam Hill in Perth not so long ago.. top bloke ey.. smooth rider for the 3 seconds he was near you... he hung around and spoke to people.. all in all was an awesome experience
  • 20
 Not actually riding with him kids, it's sinking beers at the OBH and watching him get interviewed....
  • 20
 Could have at least had it at a good pub, not one full off CUB's with their collars up
  • 30
 CRC are really making Sam work for his place on the team, eh?
  • 12
 This guy lacks personality, cant believe how little he seems to enjoy what he does, his team mates are the real characters. We need more Steve Smiths, Peaty's and Gracia's and less Hills, Gwins in the biking world. Its nice to see guys stoked on the sport, Bryceland is a gust of fresh air on the race scene, I think.
  • 21
 not even a "and one lucky winner will receive an all expenses paid trip to.." etc. ? lame.
  • 62
 You know how much it would cost to fly someone from the other side of the world to ride a bike? Not worth it. Quit whinging, this is one of the first contests not in the USA.
  • 10
 Or you can do what i did last week and got him to ride my local trails with my dog Smile
  • 10
 Ocean Beach Hotel is ages away from any trails. So is this ACTUALLY a ride with Sam, or just a promo event??
  • 10
 The title says RIDE, the description says " on October 12th (4-7pm) for an afternoon of food, drink and BIKE TALK!" So no ride????
  • 10
 He's gone to norway this morn shag so no more local rides with Sam for a while pal, was great tho (for us plebs anyways) Lol
  • 10
 Someone's mom is going to be mad when she gets asked for airfare to Australia if they win the contest from overseas.
  • 10
 I'd be screwed if I won, there's no way my parents would pay for the flight costs, and the transport from the airport to the hotel and all the way back again!
  • 21
 No travel is included in prize. --- WTF? Find your own way to Australia bro!
  • 10
 i don't want to ride WITH sam hill, i want to ride LIKE sam hill ... then i'll consider taking him out for a run Smile
  • 10
 Feeling the arvo is going to beta bit Samapolooza at the OBH....

 It would be so cool to ride with Sam. If it helps my chances, I live on S. Hill Road! How awesome is that Razz haha
  • 10
 You in Georgia by chance?
  • 10
 no, Illinois Smile
  • 20
 So Which PB staffer do we get to ride with?
  • 32
 I sign up for anything that is free...
  • 70
 FREE, if you're willing to pay for travel.
  • 23
 Free would imply ask expenses paid. But travel is a good chunk of change
  • 10
 stfu. See it as a vacation where you get to meet sam Hilletopp
  • 10

  • 10

  • 11

  • 13
 Perth is the most isolated major city in the world. There is probably only 40 MTBers there.
  • 20
