I like how Sam don't care (at least it looks that way). What I mean by that is that it always looks like some riders really ham it up and go that extra mile to look the "DH'er party animal" that some automatically assume they are all. I'm sure Sam goes out and has fun, obviously as the video shows, but over the years it really looks like he was just being himself in all those interviews and race footage. No need to sound extra gnar and exclaim how you are gonna bang hookers post race, just talking like a normal dude.
Ok, Now I'm sure some clown will come up with a video of Sam telling the camera he is going to bang hookers after the race.

He was caught, on tape, proclaiming he was going to take a whizz with 2 ladies and then going to get some illegal steroids for his chiseled body... Does that count?
That's not what he said, he said he was going to take a whizz with 2 ladies and they are going to look for illegal steroids in his chiseled body. He never said anything about going to get steroids. Trust me, we play that movie in my shop at least 3 times a day.
Smart move!!
Sweet! The Sam Hill version of The Atherton Project looks to be good.
I wanna see hot drunk aussie chicks hooking up with each other.
Sam does the dvd have this??
he dominated the 2009 season??
aussie chicks are hotter than british chicks, so im glad the Atherton project didnt have any. plus they have better teef
we need to know!

so true! I feel like sam hill might be cool enough to hang out with us at the races now.
Is it weird that one of my favorite things about racing is drinking in the parking lot?
i wouldnt go that far
You race?
Well, I put on the number plate and stay between the tape, so yes. I've never won a race, but I regularly win practice.
Funny how adding a zero or 2 to your paycheck brings out the smiles.
Evidently Specialized have some good people working on putting "media savvy" in their riders résumé.
IH, not so much.
considering some of the same key people were involved with Sam Going to Specialized also played a huge part in the Iron Horse years, that is the dumbest assumption in this thread.
Sam has always been this way. I can't believe people give him crap for being professional and dedicated to winning at races. It is his job, and his lively hood.
Just like anyone on this board who takes their career seriously, we save the party until after the job is done, and done well.
What was that about a car wreck ?
Touché, I'm not implying he has changed as a person, no crap given for his persona or race attitude, he does his job well.
What I meant was that it just seems Spec. have more dough and a better program when it comes to advertising compared to IH, all "key people" aside.
With all due respect, I don't think IH needed to do as good a job either. Sam's results speak for themself quite frankly, but aside from that IH have always had a race team and quite a strong WC focus.
Spec on the other hand have been out of the game for quite a while and have some catching up to do when it comes to getting the fans back.

No surprise there. Specialized has more of everything compared to, well, almost everybody. I've heard them referred to as 'a marketing company that makes bikes (good bikes).' Though having Brendan around full time might be the biggest factor in how Sam comes across in front of the camera as of late.
off topic, but I'd be curious to know what percentage of the total market share goes to Trek, Giant, and Specialized and how much is left for all the other companies to fight over.

Hill is pretty reserved in public... watch him around his mates and he opens up though.
Total market share in terms of DH bikes or what?
2003 was 6-7 years ago now - a pretty big period of growth for the sport from what I've seen, and Sam sure as hell wasn't the only big name on the team. Rennie, Graves, Atkinson etc. were pretty big names at some point over that period, especially earlier on.
If my bike choice over the last few years says anything (spec, spec, spec, IH, IH, IH) I don't have a real bias to either side, I just think specialized had some catching up to do in terms of race focus. And I do believe they've done a good job.

I've been rockin the handle since '07 son...sam is a fanboy of me.
lol i know, im just having some fun!
Im going to be the first to admit that i WILL watch this DVD, drunk chicks hooking up or not, ill watch it. looks fun.
Not a great deal.
Me too, but I heard the opposite, that Sam was the most boring bastard in the world. Maybe it was a joke as they know that's how he's perceived.
Maybe there should be a party world championship to decide if he's worthy...
Seriously guys, who cares how he parties, watch his val di sole run if you want some real entertainment. 2X world champion + absolute pinner is enough to get my respect!
