Sam Hill at the Australian National Champs - Video
 | Nationals was a good weekend on the bike and on one of the best tracks in Australia. I felt good all weekend and the bike is feeling great. I unfortunately didn't have the race run I was hoping for but I know my speed is there and it was still a solid week on the bike. - Sam Hill |
We just want to say a huge thanks to Sram Australia for the support in Mt. Bright and Brett Pengelley for the edit. Next up is Round 1 of the UCI Downhill World Cup in Lourdes... Watch out!
Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to speed on the action as it happens.

Not sure what the politically correct thing to say here is, but, we are a pretty open and honest brand, so here goes. Having Sam Hill in another brand of gear...sucks. Sam has been with us for over a decade, and when we lost him in gear (2014) it was not fun. We were able to keep Sam in helmets for the last 2 years, but for 2016 a newcomer came into his team's sponsorship negotiations and we dug deep to keep Sam-but also outfit the rest of his rad teammates. Sam's team did not want him doing his own deals, which us totally understandable, so we jumped in with an offer to sponsor the whole program-including Sam. Ultimately, the stakes became too high, this competitor was willing to pay significantly more and we had to step away. The team has a different sponsor for half shell/enduro riding, so the fact our guys wouldn't be able to wear our A1, along with our D3's, made it a little complicated. The stakes in that game became so high for our small brand, it would have diverted funds from future development of our products. It was also a bummer to not come to a deal with Sam's team because we have a good relationship with Nigel Page and his company, always fun working with those fellas, but, business is business. So, that's that. Sam will ALWAYS be a part of the TLD family, the door is ALWAYS open, and we would gladly have him back next year, in 2 years, in 10, whatever it takes. We love Sam Hill and we hope we are together again.
What a classy statement.

10th in the Nationals? Só in the world cup he will be in the 20th or 30th position? Its a shame... He used to do a good show in races...
Yes he is fast at 10th
By the way, why do you think it is ok to type things like "Sam Hill is dead" It's just as bad as the people who write "Gee is grumpy" or "Gwin is a religious nutter". They are all consummate professionals, work hard, repay their sponsors tenfold and are all fast as f*ck. I dunno what makes people think they have the right to spout whatever insults they feel like typing about someone they have never met. Seems to me its an internet thing. It's retarded.
Oh and well done on getting the word cocksucker into your response. Kids these days count that as basically as good as an actual well thought out response, so yeah, you win I guess....
