HEY GUYS!!! I have had so much friggin' fun making this video for you all, and I'm SO STOKED to finally share it with you!! I want to thank you all for your patience with me as I continue to get better and work on upping my video quality. I know that I've been taking longer to make videos, and it's because I'm working on making them better, and there's absolutely a learning curve there. I really have been enjoying the process though - of it all from filming to writing scripts and especially the editing. It's all a creative outlet that I never even knew I wanted! So thanks and I hope you enjoy the video! :D Also, MASSIVE shoutout to Jordan Boostmaster for coming out to ride and show me around. I highly recommend checking out his channel here: th-cam.com/users/JordanBoostmaster So how about it? Would you try your hand at riding some of The North Shore's most notorious features?
Thanks so much for the quality videos, so many youtubers go the opposite direction and start getting lazy with vid making once they have tons of subs, I appreciate your work! And nope, I'd be too sketched out to try any of these features haha
Thanks man, I really appreciate this and genuinely am enjoying learning how to create better video. I find it so fun, creative, challenging, and rewarding, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon!
Those hits, music, VO, so good! The North Shore is a dream vacation for me, some times I need to scare the shit out of myself and walk a lot, haha and give those 26" wheels a workout. Watching your progression riding, shooting, story telling and editing is awesome & inspiring! As much as miss some riding videos, its more than worth the wait, and your turn around time will only get better!
Dr. Seuss book about skinnies: Some skinnies are short Some are reeeeaaaal long Some go up Some go down Some go all around There are super skinny skinnies And big ol fat skinnies Skinnies on the ground Skinnies in trees Skinnies all around
I never realized how lucky I was when in the mid-90s, my first exposure to mountain biking was on the North Shore, following local legends Fred Barber and his brother John.
Yooo thanks Arthur! I feel like those features film pretty well, but you can absolutely see the Gopro effect take place on the Boogieman rock section at the end!
My first ever skinny dislocated my shoulder 2 miles into the trail. Popped back into place, rode 2 more pro trails, went out for Chinese buffet and then laid on a couch for the next week, unable to move. Now I can tell you it's about to rain like an hour before it rains.
Hey Alex! Great to meet you today at the Bellingham pump track down by the waterfront. Great sunset! Great to see you out there just rolling with us normies!! Boomer dad here!
His palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy, vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti, he's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop b o m b s
Thanks for showing the joys of biking. Even in my mid 40's I too still get that rush of freedom I had as a kid exploring the miles of country roads and creeks. Unfortunately the trappings of responsibility and needing my physical body to be able to perform in order to provide for my family limits the amount of acceptable risk I can selfishly take. Keep up the exploration of awesome riding.
Yep, I'm in my mid-forties too. I just rediscovered mountain biking after about a 25 year hiatus. How things have changed! It has become an activity that allows me to bond with my kids, especially my son, who has a ridiculous amount of talent and determination. It's so nice to live in the PNW with all the great trails available. Limiting progression to something reasonable is probably going to be one of my biggest challenges. I work construction, so having physical ability after the weekend is critical.
I don't even ride mountain bikes and this made feel like I wanna get out there so bad and get a bike and just ride in the woods with my friends. Great video and what a great place! Subscribed!
Some say these skinnies were not built, but actually evolved from the trees to hunt for prey.... Like a Venus Flytrap, it will lure MTBers to feed on their corpses and metal frames. Some say the planks are not wet from the rain, but from the trees drooling as they hunger for your flesh to fertilize the soil.... Brrrrr...
Man can I just say you perfectly represented what every rider goes through. People only so the edited good videos and not much of the struggles of being a mtb rider! Thanks for videos!
I watch a lot of MTB videos and this is one of the best ever. Love that fact that you put so much time into editing and narrating. Thanks for letting us live vicariously!
One of the best vids I've seen on Seymour and the North Shore. Kudos man. Beautifully done and properly inspirational. I'm 46 and pretty shit on a mountain bike (improving but very slowly), having never really ridden one until a year ago (I was an out and out roady), this looks like Nirvana to me. More so that Whistler I think. It just looks like magic and this vid and your insight just confirmed that and I hope upon hope I'm not running out of years to get good enough to make it over there one day. Brilliant work and good riding.
Yeah - this is my second year of mountain biking not just urban bashing. Learning every ride and to be in the forest is great. Serene, wonderful and frightening at the same time LOL Great video and outlook on life.
Your storytelling has improved heaps and bounds recently! I know it's a lot of work, but videos like this are a true pleasure to watch. Thanks for making great content!
Huge inspiration, man. The last part of the video hit home pretty good. Hitting the woods each and every weekend really does make me feel like a kid again. Keep up the great content. I watch every day. Ian
Dude, I always dig your content, but I love how far you've come in terms of production quality since I first watched your videos when you were at like 1500 subscribers. So stoked for you!
The north shore really is a wonderful playground. Been there twice and each time it has given me a deeper appreciation for the creativeness, skill, and challenge that comes with mountain biking. I'm just glad I've been lucky enough to see it with many of these features still rideable.
Singletrack Sampler gets my vote for "Most Improved TH-camr of 2019". Your vids get getting better. Saw your recent live stream with BKXC and I completely understand all your thoughts and emotions about all this. Just keep on being you and the videos will be awesome.
Man! I have been watching you for months now. I just recently had started watching your channel from beginning to end and I am just having a blast with you on all your journeys. To be honest I started watching you because of your van build process. That is all I searched on youtube and I came across your van build videos and started watching, then I really got into the mountain biking. I loved these videos so much that I want to start getting into biking again. I have a crappy 100 dollar walmart bike and want to take it to the normal wash trails while I look at the beautiful Tucson view. All I need is tires haha! Anyway....I can not get enough of the stoke and the joy it brings you. Thank you so much for providing this kind of content and thank you for being you. I hope I can get out soon! I am also working on the layout of my van build. I can't afford it but I love making floor plans which keeps my hopes up haha. I just wanted to let you know that you have my full support and once I start making an income I would love to help support you by donating. But for now I will LIKE all your videos ;) Be safe, Have fun!
Glad to hear you had fun making it. Bouncing back is possible, just got to believe it and try. Enjoying a bounce back myself with my work now. So fortuitous.
I know I could not ride most of the stuff in this video, but there is something magical about these woods and watching you ride through them. I've never been to the PNW and I cannot wait until I get a chance.
When it's slick like that you may find more luck with your tires partially deflated (more grip & traction) but this proves issues elsewhere so pack a pump!
Man, the quality of your videos has gone through the roof recently! I’m so super impressed, dude! Also, this makes me really stoked to ride again since some big injuries and long recoveries. I back!
Bro I just love your videos so much, your the most lighthearted person ever and I just love your vids, you deserve all the good stuff coming your way just keep sending it man!
Such a great edit! I found myself cheering for you guys throughout the video. I just love challenging technical lines. The community is super chill and so friendly, this is also why I love mountain biking, everyone is just happy to be out on the trail and toked to ride. Keep it up!
Thanks for the great video of my backyard. You hit some great spots on this visit for sure. I particularly agree with your closing comments about riding bringing you back to your childhood - moving into my mid-50's and getting out on the Shore is the closest feeling I get to riding my old Mustang bike in the mud under Lions Gate Bridge almost 50 years ago!
Agreed. The extra polish doesn't outweigh only dropping once a month, or so. But, not my channel, and it's free. So I'll just appreciate it when ever it comes out.
Brought back memories of the early 80's in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Up and over from Fremont Older near Cupertino then flying back down the paved road into Los Gatos. Stevens Creek area was one of my favorites. Thanks for the video. 😎😎😎
Finally someone is competing at Seth's level. Alex's content growth will only see his channel explode. I can only watch so many mind numbing trail ride videos. Telling a story and provided multi shot videos with good editing is a game changer. Keep up the good work.
We miss you buddy. My son came to visit today and asked "what happened to the sampler." Our beloved Mountain Bike Jesus. Back in the day he woukd ccome over and we would spend our time together watching your vids. 😍❤😇
Very good words at the end, that's exactly what I felt when I came to the northshore first time this year. First ride I did 'Expresso' and was scared by some of the features. After sending it I couldn't stop smiling and knew I found the ultimate MTB playground.
@14.05 Serious kudos for sending it!! Also, love the edit, thx for all the effort you've clearly put into it. This kind of content I could easily wait a little longer for, your on a roll now, keep crushing it!
I think the new videos are great and polished AF. Boy do I really miss the unscripted stoke that you shared on a weekly basis when you first started out though. Maybe I’m the only one, but there was something magical and pure in those more raw videos that I looked forward to and I really miss seeing now days.
Wow, that was your best video and one of the best MTB vids I’ve seen on TH-cam. Welcome back from your time off, the story telling classes already paid off!!
Awesome video, I loved it. It had been a long time since I had last seen such a good old school North Shore video. It reminded me of those old VHS vids I would buy at my local bike store when I was beginner mountain biker.
Wow the quality of your videos has definitely increased. Loved the info at the beginning. Clearly the wait was worth it. That riding looks amazing Mr. Sampler!
Love that u made a north shore video. I live 5 mins away from it and it’s the best. If uve never been or seen it it’s very intimidating but very fun love to see mtb TH-camrs conquering the shore and love how u mentioned wade Simmons. Keep up the riding
Good video, but the voice over style just doesn't have the same stoke as your previous videos. Would love to see you back in front of the camera in a more natural way.
HEY GUYS!!! I have had so much friggin' fun making this video for you all, and I'm SO STOKED to finally share it with you!!

Dr. Seuss book about skinnies:
Some skinnies are short
Some are reeeeaaaal long
Some go up
Some go down
Some go all around
There are super skinny skinnies
And big ol fat skinnies
Skinnies on the ground
Skinnies in trees
Skinnies all around
Gobblersknob You left out the green eggs all over the skinnies
Hah
Amazing lol
Starts at 7:55
I'd buy
This channel has evolved into an amazing channel, not saying his old stuff was bad just saying his new stuff is the best.
I never realized how lucky I was when in the mid-90s, my first exposure to mountain biking was on the North Shore, following local legends Fred Barber and his brother John.
Dang man, that's an experience to remember and cherish
I'm mostly impressed with how efficiently you suppressed gopro effect on those lines. Your editing in general has been 🔥lately! Keep it up!
Yooo thanks Arthur! I feel like those features film pretty well, but you can absolutely see the Gopro effect take place on the Boogieman rock section at the end!
Super 🔥
You killed it! Those features are scary when they're dry, riding them in the wet is crazy. Great video Alex.
haha I was with the legendary Boostmaster... I had to send it!
exactly what i was thinking !
My first ever skinny dislocated my shoulder 2 miles into the trail. Popped back into place, rode 2 more pro trails, went out for Chinese buffet and then laid on a couch for the next week, unable to move. Now I can tell you it's about to rain like an hour before it rains.
Yep got stabbed and im the same with rain
Should probably add gloves to the protection gear.
Yep
he puts them on at the start which makes me think he left them somewhere on the trail
Whoo hoooo!!!! He’s alive!!!!!!!!
These trails are just a massive f-you to modern geometry and long wheelbase lol
Some say if you listen closely, you can hear the builders laughing in the distant forest.
@@Potz4pizza lol
Imagine riding a full sus 29 through there
@@cameronriccio6050 the canyon strive in the video is a full sus 29er
Matteo Cristini I think he’s being sarcastic
What I love about your vids: you don’t try to make difficult things look easy, you show how to work with them, manage your fears and succeed.
Hey Alex! Great to meet you today at the Bellingham pump track down by the waterfront. Great sunset! Great to see you out there just rolling with us normies!!
Boomer dad here!
I respect that you're trying but the boomer dad part is real evident lmao. Keep on keeping on tho man
Imagine if he fell on that last feature and his last words were "palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti"
His palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy, vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti, he's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop

Completely agree! My work takes precedence over extreme riding. At 42 years old I have to weigh my options.
Im 53 and as a bus driver basically if i get hurt i cant work, so yeah. Not gonna be sending it any time soon.

lol this is hilarious 😂😂
if there was ever a time to switch back to flats, it'd be here!
Finally an epic video from the man STS.. So stoked
Video quality is next level man. Thanks so much for all of the effort you put in! Both on the bike and off.
My home trails, absolutely in love with the north shore. Probably one of your best showcase videos, good work Alex 🤘🏼
Man can I just say you perfectly represented what every rider goes through. People only so the edited good videos and not much of the struggles of being a mtb rider! Thanks for videos!
Your ending thoughts really hit home, so thank you for reminding me of why I ride.
Yeah, it's just getting out and having an adventure. Forget Strava and boasting about miles and segments.
Preach it! This is why we ride.
So great to see a new video from Sampler, you had my heart racing from time to time as the video went on! Thanks how its time to go ride today.
Tell me I’m wrong, he looks like bike Jesus
EXCEPT HES WHITE

Skinnies are among the many reasons why I will ride with flat pedals for the rest of my life! Never even thought about clipless..
August Outside You can always have 2 sets of pedals...
YES. Alex and Jordan are such amazing youtubers!
Yoooo it’s been a hot minute! Happy to see u back
Thanks Chris! Stoked to finally share this with you all - I've been working on it for weeks!

Quality leveled up! 👌👍
I loved the storytelling on this one, Alex. Excellent work on everything, man.
You rock!
Kinda miss how you did the older vids, with out the commentary. That's just my opinion tho, still love and watch the vids
I really respect the singletrack sampler because of how he makes his videos. The combination of an entertaining and rad action is gold
Your little childhood speech at the end teared me up a little. And that's okay
This is your best video to date. I was entertained the whole time and you told a story about the north shore that does it Justice!
Dude, I always dig your content, but I love how far you've come in terms of production quality since I first watched your videos when you were at like 1500 subscribers. So stoked for you!
haha thanks dude. I really love the challenge of progression, whether on the bike or in editing. So stoked to get to share the journey with you guys
Upper oil can and salvation in the wet are proper dude.🤙🏼
Inspiring and motivating. Thanks from a UK 56yr old nailing why it’s worth getting out of bed and onto the trail. I’m still a kid ,love it.

It's the narrow track nimbler!!
CLASSIC
Heyo
I know I could not ride most of the stuff in this video, but there is something magical about these woods and watching you ride through them. I've never been to the PNW and I cannot wait until I get a chance.
Respect, that was nothing short of insane. White whale or not, safe to say you've got skinnies down.
This is an absolute gem of a video. Worth every second of waiting and more. Kudos on a brilliant work of art Alex.
When it's slick like that you may find more luck with your tires partially deflated (more grip & traction) but this proves issues elsewhere so pack a pump!
You have made a significant leap in your storytelling lately, I bet you're working non-stop! As fan I appreciate your blood and sweat (tears?)
18:40 imagine your last words alive are “palms are sweaty, mom’s spaghetti”... should be your superhero catch phrase
It's an Eminem lyric.
Landon R that is correct
This video was well worth the wait dude! Very well put together 👌🤘
9:25 *Player disconnected, reason: Timed out*
Man, the quality of your videos has gone through the roof recently! I’m so super impressed, dude! Also, this makes me really stoked to ride again since some big injuries and long recoveries. I back!
as a die hard clipless pedal rider, I would definitely be riding flats out there. Great video!
hahaha!
one of your best videos to date. wow!! thanks for taking the time to film this and let the mtb world be there with you and Jordan.
Mountain Bike Mike is my uncle ! the reason i got into riding !
I keep coming back to this video. Think it is my fifth or so time I watched it. So beautiful. So inspiring. And your PMA is contagious, Alex!
Someone has found the thesaurus button. Cheers!
One of the best mtb videos of the year. Great editing and story telling. Epic!
For a moment I thought I was listening to someone reading a Dr Seuss book.
I am obsessed with your channel and mountain biking. You have definitely changed how I want to live life.
Where ya been Alex? haven't posted in a while.

Wow the quality of your videos has definitely increased. Loved the info at the beginning. Clearly the wait was worth it. That riding looks amazing Mr. Sampler!
Great stuff but I have to admit that I'd prefer more frequent, less polished content!
Alex that was one of the best Mtb videos I have seen all year. Brilliant :-)
First thing “what the fuuu is this?
North shore of vancouver
Been missing the videos good to have u back
Imagine riding this clipless haha
😱
Do you want to die? Cause that how we die
Love that u made a north shore video. I live 5 mins away from it and it’s the best. If uve never been or seen it it’s very intimidating but very fun love to see mtb TH-camrs conquering the shore and love how u mentioned wade Simmons. Keep up the riding
yeah, worth the 1.5 month wait
Alex Loving the progression! Nice work. Yuh!
Good video, but the voice over style just doesn't have the same stoke as your previous videos. Would love to see you back in front of the camera in a more natural way.
Thanks sampler for your willingness to be so transparent and keeping the stoke🤘🏻
