#TheRideCompanion #mountainbiking #mtb - Sport
I met Sam Pilgrim a while back and he's a really friendly guy, pretty much the same as he is in his videos. He's a great inspiration for anyone who loves mountain biking, talented and full of positivity
I met Sam pilgrim in whistler and he faced timed with my buddy who was in the hospital after a bad crash. Super great dude.
I was on my way to work in an small Canadian airport, and Sam was just chilling. I said hi, and had a nice normal chat with him. He's awesome! I just acted normal and respected his space.
Sam is awesome and full of positivity at least on camera. I'd ride with him any day.
I always imagine meeting him. I can understand why everyone wants a picture. He has life changing positivity and content, he really inspires people to get into mtb.
agree please don’t take this part of our chat as negative, Pilg loves it too!
He certainly inspired me to get back to it after 10 years.
@@seansamurai1981 That's so sick to hear!
@@TheRideCompanion I retired from mtb after a serious injury, but I no longer have the strength to just watch him say "this is a dream." So the frame is already at home, waiting for forks:)
Hello from Ukraine
same here, hoping he will visit Malta and seeing him droppin by so I can scream To The Skyyyyyy!!
Met the guy in Milano back in 2007 at the Quashquai Challenge when he was very young and very much at the start of his journey. You could sense already that he is pure dedication…and friendliness.
Top bloke.
Sam makes it look so easy always a smile and all the time he’s chatting with Louie who never says a word. Great team.
If I ever encounter Sam Pilgrim I'll yell: "MR PILGRIM, SIR, DO YOU NEED TO TAKE A SHIT OR YOU HAVE A MINUTE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH ME?"
Definitely a click bait title lol I’ve never met Sam but he’s so knowledgeable, great rider and a great spokesperson for mountain biking or anything really. Apparently it is pretty hard to be famous. Sam just need to find some good land outside a nice spot so he’s got some privacy
Click bait title. I thought that too.
Devious Davi 😉.
But he ain't fooling me, I saw the whole Podcast.
Bumped into sam today in the surrey hills,took me a minute to realise who i was chatting with.
Really nice guy.
Watching Sam P videos got me doing wheelies and better manuals he's a legend
Ah man, that title. so clickbait-y. it definitely worked though, i cannot lie. I came here with the intent of being upset while watching guys talk shit about one of the most positive and influential riders of all time but I am very glad that's not what this was
They've done a few click bait titles and I'm honestly sick of it. Just out out content, no need to trick us into watching.
Why are viewers not awaken enough to realize this.... #clickbaitscam #zombienation
Pilgs came to Tokyo a few years back, I live in Tokyo, I took the day off work trying to find him.... would have been a dream to sesh with that dude here in Tokyo..... cheers dudes, love cracking a beer and watching you guys on the weekend 🤟✨
Kelly Slater, a humble sporting legend and human, time for every one, especially the groms.
nice clickbait
I live in the same road as Sam and still haven’t spoken to him 🤣
Ya know he’s a lovely bloke…
Just go say hi bro he's just a dude that rides at the end of the day might get a new riding buddy
Lukemtb - If anything you could stop by and help Dusty with the yard.
I'm sure those garden weeds have become quite overwhelming this Summer.
One of the most iconic riders of all time!
What's the Vanta jam clip they were talking about? I couldn't find it.
SAM IS A LEGEND HE WAS SEMENUK DIRECT OPONENT BACK IN THE DAYS. HE RIDES AWESOME EVERY BIKE HE USE
A couple mates and I only started on a MTB 3 months back and I drove to twisted oaks when it was closed and walked around. I spoke to a guy filming and he was really humble and funny. He told me to walk around and look at whatever I want. I met another guy who worked there and I said that the previous guy told me it was ok to walk around and look. The second guy told me I spoke to Sam pilgrim. I didn’t know who he was until I went home and googled it 😅
I admire from a distance. Would never engage in a selfie frenzy or invade somebody's private space if I spot a famous person having dinner in a restaurant. I tend to not do to others what I dont like being done to me. 🤷🏻♂️
However, there are certainly people who thrive under such attention and when they dont get it, they may feel like something is not right... but who's to say who or when that's the case?
You mean Kanye? 😂
I feel like Sam's celebrity status is still growing. I agree that he's doing even better with Canyon bikes.
Why do some guys tuck their ears into ball caps?
Looks so bizarre
Deep hats and shallow foreheads
Tiny heads. Can't find a small enough hat so have to tuck ears in to make hat fit
It makes them feel cozy and protected, like when they were a baby.
Deep caps you tuck, ball caps you wear normal
Wears it better than OD wears his!!
Me and my son love watching Pilgs, he is without doubt a living legend in the MTB community. However, we have been to a few "events" recently and met many of our idols, Ollie included 😉. Everyone has been patient, gracious and friendly, and it's been greatly appreciated. Unfortunately Sam was the only fella that left my boy a little disappointed. (probably my fault, I always encourage him to "politely" say Hi and chance a selfie).
BUT I totally get it, its obvious how hard it is for you guys and especially for someone as popular as Sam Pilgrim. Fortunately my boy reslises that and was fairly pragmatic about the interaction and understood. We still love Pilgs ❤
Btw, my "boy" (Jacob) is 6'2"? 😂
Sam seems like a great guy I thought you was going to say he acts like a ass hole glad he's still a nice guy 😂😂✌
Hahahaha OF COURSE!
Please don’t think you guys aren’t biking deities too - why do you think we tune in?!
Trummer is Austrian. You're right he's German...speaking.😆
I only knew of Max Hartenstern in Cube and Nina Hoffmann in Syndicate.
SAM IS LEGEND!
Loved his appearance on the TV show Take me Out
I’d love to see Sam Pilgrim head up a task force to approach the government with a view to extending the speed limit for emtb’s ……. Above all he along with Ollie, Brandon fairclough, Tom cardy, Deeks, Tom Isted , Matt Jones, and many more leading the way for UK mountain biking 👏🏽
Clickbait title holy shit, I was about to bash
Hahahaa apologies about this one!
We dont have many DH riders in germany because being a social media influencer just makes more money. Germans are only driven by profit, not by prestige, not by respect, its only about the money.
Wow, great insight into the German culture. Who’s killing it in your market right now?
@@TheRideCompanion I wouldn’t say all of us Germans are driven by profit but he’s right, most of the really good riders are not really competing in contests but more active on social media.
wouldn’t agree fully with the statement mentioned above! Bike sport in Germany is dominated by XC and road biking. officials in the biking organizations for many years didn’t take Downhill (gravity) serious. So there wasn’t a lot of support or structure if you want to be a german downhill rider and a lot of talent was lost over the years. Things are changing slowly but germany is no way near a structure like france has.
@@Aveal the lag of mountains doesn't help... followed by the fact that the biggest sport in Germany is making fun illegal.. there are no bike parks around me at all and in the local hills biking is illegal on all ways but a few non trail like routs.. hikers (and by that I mean people driving to the hills to walk their dog..) have started laying boards with nails onto the trails.. unless you aren't born right next to the alps or near one of the other 4 bike parks- why would anybody discover a talent for downhill mountainbiking
@@TheRideCompanion all the wibmers. Gabriel, Fabio and every concurrent generation Just because they will be born into the community. Fabio Schäfer, leo cast and of course from the competative mtb world our beloved nina Hoffmann but i rekon even the small guys make more money than nina with less effort.
Pilgs is the BEST!
david trummer is also austrian 👍
Erik Fedko?
Nice Boys. Pilgrim is a unique character ...
Cristiano Ronaldo gets mobbed in public. There’s that video where he wears the fat suit, and when they figure out it’s him, he gets swarmed by fans.
Trummer's Austrian, lads.
Dull click bait, go watch the Legend himself and be entertained
Appreciate the comment
Whats with the title 😮 Pilgs is the man
And Adreas Kolb is also Austrian
Pills is all about the fun of Mtb xXx
Calling trummer German is like calling reece Wilson english....but worse
Oooooft
@@TheRideCompanion 😄 keep up the good work lads
The Germans love Hasslehoff and Pilgrim.
😂
Clickbait a Monny o'clock
Bro lovd ur content but if u ask me ur under valuation ur skill set, u should b in 50/01 crew ur tha legit
No one knows who tf Sam is outside the mtb community let's keep things in perspective here guys, it's not like he doesn't have a normal life just like most other people.
Yeah that escalated quickly
I'm sure people recognize him from going viral but not many.
David Trummer is Austrian
Well sorry David Trummer, apparently we lost you to Germany.....
RIP
Trummer is Austrian.
OH YEAH!!
SOMEBODY stop him!!!!
I wish Pilg all the best, dude has personality for miles, but...from everything I've heard, Canyon has the absolute most shit customer service of any bike company in existence, if you have a problem with your new bike you're basically screwed. Please correct me if I'm wrong, maybe the ( multiple ) people I've heard this from just have personal problems with the company. Canyon does make some awesome bikes for sure but you gotta support the product.
Yeah, I always root for my fellow Americans first, then Brits, then German or Italians pretty much across any sport.
You need another camera for Benny, eh? 👍
Hahaha that’s not Benny! Check the full episode…
When youbthonk about the size of the uk we frigging shit out world champs like day after a bad curry. Only France comes close.
I was In one of his vids was not good experience
Famous people don't poo, obviously.
Roses really smell like…
clickbait dix
I saw him once ...came across as abit of a nob . A rider had crashed and badly hurt on a trail and I asked him politely not to ride down the trail and he had proper attitude.
Why doesn't he get a new front tooth? It's easy to get a fake one haha
It's part of his whole persona, no need to change that
Bit cynical boys 😂
No patriotism…
I love being wealthy but I never want to be famous... you can’t go outside
Subtle wealth flex!! Hahaha love it
@@TheRideCompanion I’ve been around enough famous musicians (best mate dad is Seymour Duncan). Imagine being slash from gnr.. dude can’t go anywhere. It become a fight just to keep people way and being worried somebody will stab or shoot you in crowd..imagine being a ufc fighter.. every drunk in a bar wants to fight you to show his girlfriend who da man. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.. I dated a playboy bunny for 2 years every day some moron is yelling something. It’s not all amazing.. normies ruin it
I know who you are
@@Jump-n-smash how do you know me? Unless you are part of the Turkish riders I follow… how do you know me? Lol
