  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Kelly Slater, a humble sporting legend and human, time for every one, especially the groms.

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. What’s really good about Sam Pilgrim is how he copies like for like Scotty Cramners original content, pretends it’s his own and never acknowledges that they’re not his ideas.
    In other words he’s a prick.

  8. Sam is awesome and full of positivity at least on camera. I'd ride with him any day.

  9. Trummer is Austrian. You're right he's German…speaking.😆
    I only knew of Max Hartenstern in Cube and Nina Hoffmann in Syndicate.

  10. ‘I’m not particularly patriotic…’ No wonder why this country is lost. Englishmen are not what they used to be. Good times create weak men…

  11. 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 🤟✨

  12. 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 😂😂✌

  13. 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"? 😂

  14. I feel like Sam's celebrity status is still growing. I agree that he's doing even better with Canyon bikes.

  15. 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

  16. 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.
