So just to be clear – I’m neither a massive fan nor a hater of Sam Hill but looking at what i am reading it seems there is plenty to like:
Seems like a nice guy, not too loud or brash.
He’s won a stack of races on different tracks all round the world, he’s won a good few DH World Championships over a long period showing versatility and longevity, not to mention has 2 more where he crashed and lost it despite being faster than everyone else. Then he’s switched discipline and been the champion again.
And if you see some of the comments from other pros about how good/nice/unbelievably fast he is that sort of convinces you that he’s the real deal.
That’s legend status in any sport to be fair isn’t it?
