That was incredible. The fact he can visualize within a second of his race time is just one of those classic snippets of Sam Hill information that slips out every few years and just adds to his legend and mystique. He may not have the most WC wins, World Championships, or overall titles, but there was something about the way that he did what he did -- his reserved character, the mystery that it created, being on lines no one else even considered, riding flat pedals -- that makes Sam the GOAT in my eyes.
Why do u care? Why does he have to conform to what u think he should do? If memory serves me correctly Sam rides a little moot from time to time as do a lot other mtb riders and a lot of moto guys train on bikes so this interview certainly fits his wheelhouse.
@@GYPSYTALES Jackson Goldstone would be rad. His first ever Hardline race he wins it.. and is a junior world champ. His Hardline run was INSANE, check it out if you haven't seen it!
Too many races where what he did was mesmerising, even in races he didn’t win. Champery in 07, Vale d’ Sole in 08… in my opinion, the greatest Extreme MTB rider ever. Injuries curtailed seasons where he would of won more races and Championships and could of easily been top of the list of WC Downhill race wins. Modern DH tracks don’t suit his size and style… they are fast and resemble bike parks, designed for better tv viewing. They’re not as technical and gnarly where skills and bike control give you the advantage. Just to emphasise how good he was - when he won the Junior World Championship at Lugano, Switzerland in 2003, his winning time would of placed him third in the Elite men’s class where Greg Minnaar won. Even with a crash in his race run… He was 18 years old.
07 Champery best DH run ever! (3rd place) Still felt like he won that day, no one remembers first place! What a race, what a track! Give him the crown! “Steve Peat”
I remember seeing him at the norba national in snowshow wv in 2002. I was following a fellow semi pro down the course, and he blew past us like we were standing still.
Such a legend. I got to ride with him at Keystone bike park testing suspension (video on my channel). He was dialed on lines in 2 runs on a 13 minute track. He was pissed about denting his rim as he didn't know when/what rock it happened on. His memory is on another level.
As someone that raced motocross then transitioned into biking and is still very interested in moto, it was still very cool to watch Sam Hill be on the show
i watched Sam come through from a kid to the beast who revolutionised a few years of racing, i raced DH at the same time - i will never forget trying to follow him at ft bill and maribor - hilarious and painful for me
My guess would be you know more about listening to podcasts than producing them. I don’t know what you do for work, but my guess is you would be more of an expert in the field than me… same goes here I’m guessing.

Man great comment. You summed him up!
Now your fckn with this sport.??... your ridiculous, you will do anything for a hit!
Are you moto.... or mtb...?
Or just anything...... just trying to get TH-cam famous?

I`ve been hoping you`d have Sam Hill on a podcast once. And it delivered, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Best one yet ! !! Most laid back humble dude in the elite sportsman world out there. #westcoastbestcoast

Ah thanks man!
One love! Sam Hill is a dam legend!!!
i watched Sam come through from a kid to the beast who revolutionised a few years of racing, i raced DH at the same time - i will never forget trying to follow him at ft bill and maribor - hilarious and painful for me
This is why Sam Hill is Sam Hill.
Deadset LORD
He so chill.
The boy tipped DH on its head that's for sure!
Sam is my biggest inspiration, since I started ride bikes. So cool to hear he talks about mindset now!!! Fu#% coollll!!!
he's one amazing human
yo wtf sam hill in this show best surprise in a while
We do a ton of non-moto podcasts. Might start posting the clips here more regularly.
interesting as always cheers cobb
We finally find out Sam is not from this planet -- absolute legend !!
The smoothest rider ever, never looks rushed, always picks amazing lines… Ken Roczen is the same on an MX bike..
I want to come on the show and talk about Moto visualization.
Its amazing to herar from your hero that he also prefers cocpit view in driving sims.
Crazy how he can visualize a track lije that. 😎👍
Psycho cybernetics is a great book about the visualization process🤘
Omg. I love sam😍😍😍😍😍😍
Quiet people are gifted
Bob Hannah used to say this
I started in xc where I would do the same with 10 mile laps
Gang 🤙
Saaam fuuucking hillllll!!!!!
It’s called pre visualisation many sports have used this for Johnny long time. Just saying 👍❤️
I bet he replay the race afterwards as well what he could have changed. Ask him
My favorite rider of all time.
Gears turning always
Photographic memory! One look I'm the same way
Dude, no one cares.
You had your uncle on yet Jase?
U should have showed him more respect in this interview, i think u were trying to be his friend too much, he's a professional athlete
My guess would be you know more about listening to podcasts than producing them. I don’t know what you do for work, but my guess is you would be more of an expert in the field than me… same goes here I’m guessing.
Who tha fuck is Sam Hill
Mtb legend
look it up bruv
