- Riding and incredible MTB freeride trail in France! I ride an insane freeride line on enduro bikes before riding a skatepark contest and finding epic urban freeride spots in the South of France on my jump bike, which riding style is the best?
France always produces a good time and this short weekend trip certainly proved it, first with some amazing MTB freeride lines in the infamous black hills of the South of France close to the alps with Yannick Granieri and some Haibike enduro bikes! Then after experiencing the amazing trails I then head to Marseille for the Tomas Lemoine Skatepark contest where I try my luck with the worlds top mountain bikers before heading out on an urban MTB freeride mission around a lovely french town called Martigue. I start the video on an electric bike and finish on my custom Haibike dirt jump bike which I love shredding on. The whole video was shot on GoPro apart from my contest run as this was Marcel's phone, so thanks for that!! But Which riding was your favorite?
I hope you enjoy the video!

heart beat up a 1000X right now. unreal!
First time?
ONG. Imagin irl how crazy it is.
Yeah not many vids make me feel slightly sick lol
@@rhenry6903 true
У меня мурашки по коже, а я в кресле перед монитором))
î never knew we had mountains like this in europe..... absolutely looks unreal, thanks 1000 times for sharing. not that i could ride there, but sure i will go there!
it's epic, there are some less sketchy but really flowy lines there as well and the views are always amazing. Plus there are little creeks there, where the water caved like a hundret natural swimming pools in the stone, perfect for refreshing after a ride . So sick 🤙🏼
come to romania brother to see the carpatian mountains
There’s some sick ones like that in the UK
@@raressivlogurile3761 Can you send me some more details about the trails over there ?
@@felixb.59 So is archail the village nearest to that spot ? Could you share some additional info on how to those trails ?
I know I'm scared of heights, I was puckering as you came up some of those ridges! Beautiful but terrifying
sam excels and has good single track riding skills ,, this track was sheer loco
He’s just good at all types of riding 😅
Another good watch! Epic times dude! Stoked to stack more of these memories for 2022 🤟🏼
Yes boss!!! 😁😁🤙

Soooo cool to see you back with Yannick ! Riding like old school buddies... I used to come and see you both at the FISE comp in Montpellier
Once again I’m sitting head with a ginormous smile on my face. Your skill level across such diversity is insane.
Chapeau mate! 👌🏽👊🏽
GoPro normally flattens this stuff out, but this still looked genuinely terrifying.....
Awesome video to experience the location vicariously, as I can say I will never ride anything like that.
If something looks like a terrifying death drop on a GoPro, you know it looks even more horrific in person.
Holy moly! What a sick place to ride!
Whaaa ?? My hands were getting sweaty just watching this. That's a LONG way down. France is friggin beautiful !!
Love seeing you travel and mixing with the world. So cool.
This video actually had me leaning out of my seat away from the cliffs! Most videos do not show the steepness and depth of the cliffs like this video did. Just absolutely amazing video!
The world is such a beautiful place. I remember visiting the German Alps and just being awestruck by how peaceful and serene it was.
That first knife edge section was intense dude, epic riding and sick scenery!
Can't actually believe how long I've been watching u ride .and instill blow my mind that 360 tuck no hander was insane .💪
Yess riding in my country !! Bonjour !
Uh! Just WoW! Super Mega Awesome Video! Thanks!
I wish I have Enduro bike like you my idol solid supporter here in the Philippines
I wish this comming my birthday I have dual crown fork it's ok to me second only 😭😭
😮you would never catch me riding up there respect to everybody else 👌👍🏾🙏
Super sick video, trail looked amazing, loving the bar spins out those shapes and that no hander? Dreamy
Damn, can't grip my chair any harder..gave me vertigo, you guys are nuts : )
Yanek's put on a couple of well earned Kilos. Great to see him still shredding on the bike. Throwin' the old weight around.
Right? So stylish and smooth even if he’s not skinny.
Man that was hard to watch, looked just as exposed as where I broke my back last week! Epic as ever Sam, keeping me going as I recover! Edit: that fakie was SICK!
Ikr
Unbelievable view, that place is amazing.
That black hills line was scary, sick, and beautiful all around. Thanks Sam
Another great video Sam! Man those are some crazy trails! They should put a sign warning people to wear a parachute when riding them ;-) Well now we know why there's so many good French DH riders with mountains like that!
Wow That first trial was insane definitely rampage for sure and it was nice to see Sam entering a contestI and
still getting top 10 he May be old for a contest rider but he still can teach the young guns A thing or two lol
I was grinning the whole video and didn't even realize it.
You are definitely livin the dream.
wow that freeride line is crazy, zero room for error on dusty stone that looks like the grip levels changing constantly, so sketchy, so epic
Sam you are the man! Love you content!! Always fun, always safe....ish and always steeeeezy!
Proper in to sams vids, love the “how I see it” videos, keep it up mate 🤘🏽
You wouldn't catch me up on the Black Dirt lines. Wow! Crazy!
Sam's rare moments of the shouting outbursts are sooooooooo funny ! Love the passion mate
That Black Dirt trail is bonkers! One false move would definitely mean certain doomage and not of the stair set variety! You looked like you were having a ball at the comp Sam. Free riding with a group always brings out the fun challenges. Great video Sam.
Love how positive you are man, know where near your skill but man I'd love to ride with you
Y'all are awesome and crazy for riding that. Nice job guys.
Best video yet
Those are the same shorts I wear! Shorts should never be longer than 7 inches! Love it!
The black hills sesh was epic Sam,that was dropping.Awesome Sam.
As always another sick video. Love them, keep’m coming man.
My knees got weak watching this one, sick man! 🤘😨🤘
日本にはこんなトレイルはないから羨ましい！
sick video Sam, amazing to see you going down these mountains!
Epic brother! Mountain bike riding at it's best! That was so cool Sam! You guys aren't just bike riders, your also stunt men! WITHOUT THE FREAKIN HARNESS OR NET!
some of the sickest trails wow!
Sam how can you not be Freakin out riding a MAD AS line in the Black Hills of France.
That tuck no hander off that semi circle piece of art was The Dream, you make it look so simple all my RESPECT is yours. Please keep making Vlogs cause I/ we all Love watching ‘em ✌🏼Out
Epic scenery on the black mountains... looking stezzy @ the contest 7th,stay safe out there
Wow! That narrow line was scary. Absolutely insane.
Your videos are always fun to watch.
what an EPIC video. Some of those back drops took my breathe away. Ill have to go ride this now on my E bike haha. Thanks for sharing
Lets goo not even off the add lol
Damn yannicks bikes have some. Sick colour ways. That red frame is 👌👌. Also the orange gold coloured one is dreamy
I went there last year and inched my way across, so intimidating, so gripped, not really happy I did it just happy to be down..... just blown away at how you guys slayed it.
UDADADDY PILGRIM!
Great video.. the views & the lines.
Couldn’t ask for a better day or place to ride 🤜🏻
I could feel ya panic Sammy holy cow big breaths and control the bike to the max .awesome as always 👍
Insanely sick riding as always Sam 🤙🏻🙌🏻
This was a good one. Always love the MTB stuff
OK dude this was truly sick, really fun to watch and left a taste of "MOOOORE (please, sir)" ;)
I've ridden a few trails like this before and I can confirm, they're scary, but the fun and amazing view you get out of riding them is worth the risk.
And in urban freeride, stairs and random slopes are the dream, you can do so much fun stuff on them and then implement that on the trails.
Absolutely Mind blowing Runs mate's! cheers!!! cheers 🍻
And I just got back from a ride, feeling so proud after clearing a 40cm drop 😂
No shame bro, i feel you 😂🙈
Sam this was sick proper big mtb those black mountains were fire ...noice
Awesome riding on terrifying looking black hills!
Yooooooo! That first line had my jaw on the floor!
OMG I was leaning away from all the drops so hard! I have no idea how anyone can ride this sort of thing in real life when I'm almost falling off my chair avoiding the "drop"! Respect is due!
I was on edge watching this 🥶 look fun and scary 🔥
This is like three epic videos for the price of one!
Hell to the no! Fluff my life. Sammy P is legit pro maniac! Good times, to the sky!
Top vibes as always, makes my day everytime 😀😀🔥
That intro. That is mountain biking. Lets go.
What a star studded episode! Young Jake is it? He’s going to be crazy good.
As any true Southerner frequenting the continent, I love how much more Essex you become :D THAT'LL DO WUNNNNIIITT!!?
Epicccc as usual.. thx for the adrenaline Sam.. I've enjoyed ♥️
I found myself leaning to the left watching this video!
Today was EPIC! Sam you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Absolutely nerve wracking watch!
That was insane!
Every once in a while you make me just a bit nervous.
Just a bit..
That's awesome you did great in the finals 🔥🔥
1:41 gave me some real sweaty hands. Look at Sams front wheel 🤯 Awesome ride!
OMFG, that’s just so crazy. Had me at my edge just looking your lines 🤘🤙💪
keep up the amazing work m8!!!
They say put your uphill foot down first but in this case.... Don’t stop! Haha great video, got my adrenaline going just watching!
I was puckering and leaning away from the edge - great ride!
Just a video or 2 ago i was like when are we gonna see Yannick?! Dude is a beast!
Another video where I am blown away about how brave you are
Awesome Sam, but I couldn't handle the black line trail and had to fast forward ✌❤
it's gonna be epic as always!!!
Awesome video...!!! Greetings from Bulgaria!
what a ride!! top notch!!!
sacre bleu! le pilgremme magnifique
That first trail was excellent! Sam, you should look up World's Most Dangerous Road in Bolivia. It's just outside La Paz and is terrifying (lots of graves by the roadside where people have gone over the edge). I did quite a bit of mountain biking in this area, including the longest descent in the world, where you start at 5km above sea level. The air's so thin there's no wind resistance. The scenery is stunning but watch out for irate sheep herders who lob rocks from the other side of the valley. Their timing is hazardous to mountain bikers!
I love to see this stuff keep it up 👍🏻
Serious pucker factor within the first 2 minutes. Man that was intense.
Loved the follow cam of SAM
That place was lush Sam! Living the dream there mate 👍
Very good and awesome video....
Scariest biking I've ever watched! Sick view
Is anyone talking about the amount of air this man can breathe in at a time with that nose? Love you Sam
While talking!
Thanks for sharing ! You had me sweating the whole time :-)
