That dude definitely deserves a tip when he gets the customers food to them.

Worth just for the last 40 second clip

Not sure if the track at the start is the same "Gully Track" from the Craig Evan Airdrop vid but it looks dope. Aussie dirt is nothing like that haha

Can a video with Sam Hill suck?

Yes.

Bold move to sell your work out plans when you’re possibly the most out of shape you’ve ever been, and are known for being pretty introverted - not a great mix for a personal trainer.

Sam Hill is an absolute weapon on a bike and I applaud him trying to find new revenue streams, but I doubt the legs on this one.

Too much freeride, not enough skipperty flipperty. I give it 76/100.


;)
The format needs a bit of a change up to make it feel different to the other ridgeline videos, but the riding is as always absolutely nuts and they really do drone footage well.

Feels like we’re only a year or two away from people newer to the sport not knowing Gee was ever a racer, surely he’s some big mountain freeride pioneer?

How good was that?!
I wonder how close he was to eating shit on the landing at 9:47?
Probably no more than 50 other sections of the video but it looked pretty sketchy.

Yeah. Earthed still holds up today too


shame the soundtrack's had to be muted in parts.

pretty sure Alex Rankin would approve of the Amyl and sniffers track use in Joel's vid.

[edit] Also. just realised. Joel's local trails at triscombe (used in the vid) Were actually my local DH tracks in 2003. I'd have been on a Muddy Fox. Not a Bighit but it was the main other popular budget DH bike/frame option of the time here. Those Bighit frames were £599 with a Fox Vanilla RC shock. Mental good value. and Jason Carpenter, Manon's Dad was fabricating and selling rear stays to allow them to be run full 26 for just a couple of hundred quid.

Haven't ever seen them myself but a good friend of mine has been raving on about Amyl and the sniffers and going to their UK gigs for years. Good to see them making a real name for themselves now.
