Canyon rider Sam Pilgrim has announced his 13 year contract with Monster Energy has come to an end. Apparently there are no hard feelings and he’s got plans for promoting brands in the future, with exciting things to come.
So, who could sponsor Mr Today Is Going To Be Epic next? We have some ideas for sponsors and future videos…
Some sort of kombucha company to get him all healthy and chakras aligned?
‘My scobie exploded and the mess was epic!’
‘Riding gnarly features but my gut biome is zen!’
Lucozade, inexplicably popular with teenagers, and the most found brand on trail cleans?
‘Lucozade, for sick tricks as well as when you’re sick and old’
Nescafe
‘Can a cyclist survive instant coffee?’
Yorkshire Tea
Can you imagine the outcry? ‘My next gap jump is bigger than the north/south divide!’
Rich Energy
Well, now we’re just being silly. Who would you like to see sponsoring Sam Pilgrim?

Is that creak me or the bike? Real-world product reviews from real-world riders.
I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones.
More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments.
I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
As an aside, why do folk not like him?, if he can make a living from what he’s doing riding bikes and dicking around then good for him, certainly beats an IT job.
Please nobody who makes anything I want to buy. Bought an Ergon saddle despite their sponsorship of this guy. Respect Magura for dropping him due to something or the other he did a while back.
Personally I find his “Oi, Oi, Oi” character grates, I couldn’t do what he does, and I totally respect the niche he carved out for himself on YouTube and wish him all the best, just don’t wanna watch it
Always gobsmacked by how he treated his sponsors kit, but then who would want to have to ride a Haibike, ugly things !
I dont mind his vids, his riding skills are on another level, and it was noticeable how he was doing less ‘crack a monny o’clock’ in his vids for the last year.
I assume he makes far more money from Swatch, Canyon and Sur-Ron.
Nobody, all he does is dick about on bikes, how are sponsors getting their money’s worth. But maybe Travis Perkins, cos a kerb stone and a brick seem to be his favourite tools for filing steerers and starnut fitting.
On here? loLZ. Working class lad making a decent living from messing about and enjoying himself..? hmm, I wonder.
I don’t know if that’s more offensive to the working class because it implies he’s representative of something, or because it implies you’ll always be working class however well you do.
Seen him a few times at the local park (Twisted Oaks). He barely gets out of his van before he’s surrounded by kids, but he always spends a bit of time with them.
Actually a fairly quiet chap when he’s not “Influencing” or “Vlogging”, and seems down to earth.
I don’t agree with some of his video choices, so I won’t watch them – simple.
But, the man can seriously ride a bike very very well!

Why did Singletrack post the article, click bait special. 🙂
Why do so many on here add their bitter opinion, life is so unfair when you have a student loan to pay from a less-than-UK average salary. I remember the good old days when only people from nice houses made money from audio-visual output.
