Last time I checked, Sam Hill is a world-class downhiller (his skills on the dirt bike seem good too). Seems his riding does a great deal of talking, and that he's not in his element in front of a camera. I see no issue there, save that for the vast majority of us, that is the only way we 'know' him, and it is up to us to accept that maybe he's not much of an extrovert. What do we know of any of these riders anyway? Segments in cool vids, maybe overhearing them at an event or as a leader in a clinic/camp, but we don't have that much from which to ascertain 'who' they are. I'm sure a few days riding with him and you'd get a better understanding of who he is and why he comes across as he does on film. Till then, enjoy his riding and appreciate that we simply don't know him, and therefore have little basis for any judgement about his character. Last word: Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!

I was in Hakone on July 4 with a 11 of my students. I wish I had been riding at Fujimi Panorama!!!

Yuris, Thanks for showing us some of the riding being done in Japan. Nagano is beautiful, and these young riders are showing some style. Please post more videos of the freeride, DJ and DH scene in Japan!

If more people rode bikes there would be less peds out there... Not that he was a pedophile, but Ted Kaczynski was a bike rider... Seems to me the disposition of the individual is more at the heart of the issue than their preferred mode of transportation. That said, I do concur, most who ride regularly seem to have at least part of their act together.

Dude, please remove the directions to DBD. Mountain biking is already threatened on this trail. The burms are constantly getting blown out by rookies who don't know how to take corners.

Thanx,

JonC
