Sam Hill Takes On The Hot Lap Challenge | Pinkbike Hot Laps 

Who do you think we should do a Hot Lap with next? Let us know 👇

That’s the most Sam Hill has ever talked on film ever......EVER!!!

Dog's gone for the low line... :-D

This bloke makes me proud to be an Aussie, down to earth, humble and absolutely magic to watch ride. Mountain biking is exploding here so I hope we can keep producing legends like Sam 🇦🇺❤️

I can feel the gforces of his cornering through the camera. Ridiculous how good this man is at cornering

Oh! So that's how reality looks for Sam Hill! At first I thought the video was faster than normal, then I realized it wasn't the video... It's just that Sam Hill lives on a different dimension.

So relaxing watching the master do what he does best!

No Strava lines. Take a lesson from this guy, Strava warriors.

I find it hilarious how sam explains how to ride the trail, hes like 'Yeah you just do it'😂

He is like Yoda on a mountain bike. Simply amazing. And in his home town of Western Australia, nobody knows who the hell he is. Nobody outside the MTB community knows we have a multiple time world champion, which is strange because we Aussies normally love all our successful sports stars. People in other countries would know more about him than his own home state citizens.

"dog's going for the low line" hahaha love the comedy!

I've never been the biggest Sam Hill fan to be honest. It's not that I dislike him. Just never really caught Sam-Fever- But one thing I do REALLY like about him... Is his "no fuss" attitude. He's never seeking the spot-like through trying to be funny, hardcore, entertaining... He just throws down with insane speed and awesomeness... And lets that do the talking for him...

In my eyes he's the best mtbiker ever lived

Just love the sound of the tyres smashing the Rooth and the ground

that scared me just watching it :D crazy how commited and smooth he is on the bike. Just awesome to see hes point of view

This is amazing. More of this pinkbike!

Smoooth as Golden. Sam, you make it all look butter smooth at warp speed! You shred bruh!

Just had to check if my playback speed had jumped up X2.

I love watching Sam Hill ride it is like the bike has a brain and Sam is just on it, Sam Hill and the bike are one. Great thanks.

Super powers on a bike. Nice ride, Sam.

"Pretty grippy." - he attempted to lie. --- "No. It's not grippy." HAHHAHAHAHHAHA I'm dying @ 4:24

The peak of pinkbike content.

Once you get to see Sam's cam you're just admiring how fluid he is, how he can roll from insides to edges like no problem and just overcraft through mine fields without losing speed. Wow. I wish I could roll like that.

watching sam hills hot lap i couldn't believe the speed. i was looking through my settings to see if i had the speed turned to 1.5 on youtube. it wasn't sam hill is just super human!

That was great. The first time I saw Sam was in Dirt Magazine, in 2002, or so. Good to see he's been doing so well. Thanks for picking his brain and for posting this. Good stuff.

It's tough to get my dad saying, "what the sam hill" ... out of my head ✔

Nobody rides a bike like Sam Hill. He's like some kind of bike grand wizard. Pretty sure I seen him overtake Luke Skywalker on a speeder at one point.

Sams so smooth he doesn’t need a gimbal or hero 7 stabilisation

Sam: try to carry some speed... Me: fck that’s a lot of speed lol Sam Hill “Goat”

you can tell its sam hill coming by sound that suspension makes

Sam Hill is a class act.

The master at work

27.5 wheels, probably a smaller frame than recommended and flat pedals. Proving that 29ers, big frames and clips don't make you faster haha

Sam Hill is a BEAST

"Just gotta roll down this rock and fit through them trees."

Ooohhh, the RAW Sound

a master at work

There are mutants among us. Sam Hill is the chief one.

He should make training videos, everyone with mtb would buy it 🤣so fast and smooth 👌 Actually scratch that Sam Hill & Yoann Barelli the banter alone would be hilarious

impressive... that looked a great run.. nice.

Great video, great rider!

that GoPro footage just makes this look crazy dangerous...Trees,roots,rocks everywhere!

Nice trail.Sam is legend!

Sam hill is a machine

Holy shit I had vertigo watching his lap, and he said it was slow. 😲

Watch Sam ride make me feel woefully inadequate. Damn the man can ride.

Legend. Would love to see what Jesse Melamed could do on some of his local (NS, Squam or Whis) trails.....assuming he doesn't own all of the KOMs already.

Sam: Just gotta slow up a bit to fit through those trees down there... Also Sam: Whooshhhhh

He usually lets his riding do the talking. Lol. No gloves & flat pedals. Eats corners for breakfast. He is a cornering machine. Sam Hill & Chris Kovarik Aussie DH LEGENDS.

Nothing about Sam is "enduro bro" and I love it. Really refreshing to see. Can Pinkbike chime in as to the average gradient of that trail? I have a feeling that it isn't as flat as it looks.

That is a sweet ride

750mm bars. Out come the saws for the die hard "oh we need 800mm bars for stability" crowd 🤣

It's hilarious to me how he always looks so calm even after blasting through a trail. Breathing slightly heavier, haha

Love my power saddle

That is the most anyone has ever seen Sam talk

No full helmet, no gloves. Smacked my chin with a fully on last Sunday, not wearing it scares me. Love how he comments on the dogs line, lol. Hand guards are actually a great idea.

It's quite comical to see all the comments thinking he really is that fast. The video was no doubt sped up at the end with the gopro. If you listen to his breathing you can hear that it's clearly sped up. No person breathes that fast, not even while hyperventilating. Also unless the gravity was doubled physics doesn't allow for those type of movements. He takes 3 pedals and is moving at mach 5 at the start. Not trying to take anything away from Sam Hill's skills, but there was no need to speed the video up pinkbke... And lastly to prove it was sped up, he started at 6:25 and ended at 8:36 which is 2 minutes 11 seconds, yet his time was 3:23. That means the video was sped up around 1.5 times.

The speed up POV tho!

1:37 nooooooooooooo the disc :O hahahah

You can clearly see that hes a beast when he does hotlap without a full face helmet

Man I would love to have Sam Hill cheer me on while riding

So good ride and si little charisma

Sam is freakin fast. Was that Paul the Punter on the camera?

dope handguards

So sick!

SAMMMM HILLLLLLL!

Hahah look at 3:44... His Face!! Ahaha LEGEND. THE MAESTRO!

Jeeez that was quick! Ya seemed to jump thru a trunk up the top! I’m a firm believer of follow the trail and no cuttin corners, good stuff!

Sam is a comedian haha

Very polite!

Hey Sam, I love watching your flcks . Are you doing much in the way of new flicks ?

Eli Tomac! Ryan Villopoto! Justin Barcia! It would be good and you know it!

Dogs going the low line

Christmas came early this year!

Legend

When you think you're in the inside, Sam will overtake your inside inside

The branding on his outfit is subtle and tasteful.

Sam 🙏

Definitely watching out for them holes

Serious question with disclaimer: I’m fairly new to this. All the coaching I’ve ever gotten has constantly stressed “get low, get lower!” , “flatten your back!” But it doesn’t seem to be what SH is doing here. What am I missing here?

The sound of both rebound valves working.....

6:44 things get serious'd

Why is the POV footage sped up??

Dogs gone for the low line.....

nukeproofnukeproof is the best enduro bicycle

that fork looks soooo supple

Those dutty dawgs 😝

Ducking hell it sounds like rolling thunder when Sam rides pedal to the metal

That was insane. Although I couldn't understand a thing he said. You know us Americans.

6:18 technique 😂🤣

What tyres are they? They sound so well dampened!

Hi, Sam's bike is a mega 290 or 275?

When Sam hill says slow down he is not going slower he is going at a normal human speed 😂

how about that 'piff piffff' fork sound? men..... why's that? sounds awesome

Encountering pros with cameras while glacially pick my way down the trail... MTB hell

Sick video 🤘🏻

Anyone know what brakes he’s using in this video?

Why did they speed up the video when his hot lap started

Is this Credit Line?
