Hey guys, I'm aware of the issue with the video freezing at 4 minutes and audio continuing. It's something wrong on YT's end and I'm working to figure it out. Check back again soon for the full vid!
Whadya say we start 2022 off with some classic singletrack samplin'? :P Hope everyone is getting the year off to an OK start (doesn't have to be great just yet). Maybe, if you are lucky, there are some bikes involved :P
Oh, and shoutout to Steady Spin giving me that good good follow cam action and David for absolutely shredding all day on his first time down these challenging trails 🔥
When were you out there? I love that Kev's wearing orange...I was once riding in the woods by myself during hunting season when I realized I was wearing only brown- and with a lighter patch on my chest! 😬 Oh, deer! 🦌😂 Orange is my go-to color for riding these days!
@@Happy_Biker Oh deer 🤣, you could've ended up getting a VERY pricey uplift in the back of someone's pickup hopping around in the forest dressed like that 👀
Man, this was awesome to see an older style Sampler video. I like the more edited, story style videos, but these are still my favorite. You strike the balance between both styles, and you'll be dialed.
@@The_Sampler Awesome! You're just a fun dude to ride along with (virtually) and you ride with other great peeps, love the stories but love the raw stoke too!
@@The_Sampler I fully agree! I love your narration-style videos but they're a lot of hard work, so occasionally throwing in the more raw/riding vlogs really helps (plus I've missed some of your riding vlogs after a couple years 🔥🔥🔥)
My video also locks up at 4:34 I've tried multiple devices and even wifi vs cellular. Hope Alex see's this and figures out what's going on, really want to watch.
The video locks up for me at 4:34 and just displays that static image for the remainder 20 minutes. I get full audio though. It's doing this on multiple devices. Is this happening to anyone else?
Hopefully it'll be a year of a bunch of your stoked classic POV footage. I've been watching the Redemption '17 playlist to get my fix of living free, riding hard & getting stoked! And today you drop this vid... Awesomeness...
Love and miss these videos soo much! I have always thought all of videos and short films have been great! But I’ve always thought your straight riding videos, with you and good friend shedding down a trail are by far your best videos! There are loads riders out there post these vids, but following your progression and your overall attitude and stoke is what has alway made your riding videos the most fun to watch!
So nice to see some pov of you just shredding an having a good time. I’ve looked up to your riding for a long time and it’s made me want to ride harder (with more stoke too). Please make more shred content like this. Nothing wrong with the stories you make, but this is og singletrack sampler. Happy New Year dude!
Yeah dude. A combination of the new style videos and vlog/pov videos is great in my opinion. I always felt like I was along for the adventure with your old videos.
A group ride with the “Sampler” with a rock and roll trail. Let’s Go! You had some great lines with some cookin speed. Walk off OTB with a finish of you listening to your body. On Point. Worth all 24:21
For some reason the video stops playing for me at the 4:34 mark, but that audio continues. I've tried watching on 3 different devices and it happens on all 3 of them.
Needed some raw singletrack! Keep sprinkling these in!! Seems like everyone is getting better at editing and making such high quality videos that they forget that sometimes we just need good riding to help the stoke! Also... Kevin was ripping! Good stuff while we wait for the big trip content to drop!!
So are we going to talk about the Fezzarri? Did I miss an episode about it? Seen quite a few very incredible riders lately on one of these. My attention has been caught. 🤟😎👍
lmao, my dude said, "i'm not doing it". Sick video as always really missed biking and watching your videos. They always brought me joy and got me stocked to ride.
Did Bennett for the first time this past Saturday (May 28, 2022) after running into Kevin at the hub. I wish I re-watched this video as those 2 rock features had my walking. Gives me something to look forward to next time I ride it.
Another cracking video. Thank you. Always look forward to yours. Nice to see you sporting a pair of Brian’s gloves. When are you two gonna do another series?
Mt parents live about 20 minutes from that trail system. I need to go check it out one day, it looks like a great place to ride. Problem is I live in Florida so distance is an issue. I live about 4 miles from Grapefruit trails so that will do for now.
Rode Buckwheat and Bennet back in the day on 26" wheels. It was a wrist breaker. Good riding and glad you did that drop after being sketched for a sec.
What is happening with the audio? Seems like it is off track from the video pretty bad? I’ve closed my RUclips app out like 3 times are restarted the video but it’s wonky still
Best video I have seen in a while. Everyone is so stoked and looking at those amazing trails and scenery in the video makes me want to get out there. Please explain the shuttle setup and parking areas needed to do this. Also curious about how long it takes to do this same series of trails. Thanks for sharing! Oh and 4000 feet of decent! 😳😳😳
I'm always looking for new trials to ride (I moved down to Spartanburg in May) These are now on my radar! I did all of Black Mountain last weekend, all the hike a bike at the top really sucked, but it the end, it was killer.
Hey guys, I'm aware of the issue with the video freezing at 4 minutes and audio continuing. It's something wrong on YT's end and I'm working to figure it out. Check back again soon for the full vid!
Oh, so it wasn't just me. Looking forward to seeing the last 20 minutes!
Been trying to get some help from RUclips with no success.... I'll keep trying!
its working fine now
Awesome vid! I'm glad they fixed it!
Whadya say we start 2022 off with some classic singletrack samplin'? :P
Hope everyone is getting the year off to an OK start (doesn't have to be great just yet). Maybe, if you are lucky, there are some bikes involved :P
Are you sponsored by fezzari now?
Any start is a great start! Lets ride!
Yea dude! Miss these kinda videos! Looks like a blast!
@@Evan-zu4dd we all dude, hope you keep it up
Happy new year!!!! This was awesome 🤙🏾 great riding everyone 💯💪🏾

That trail looks super fun! I road bike alot but haven't rode on a mountain bike trail befor but I really want to thanks to your videos.
@@Happy_Biker Oh deer 🤣, you could've ended up getting a VERY pricey uplift in the back of someone's pickup hopping around in the forest dressed like that 👀
@@nosreuter Exactly!
Man, this was awesome to see an older style Sampler video. I like the more edited, story style videos, but these are still my favorite. You strike the balance between both styles, and you'll be dialed.
That’s all day long. I really miss the “Sunset Sampler”
I love the newer style videos but keep videos like this coming too. It's always nice to see single track sampler videos pop up in my feed.
I've finally come to the happy conclusion that it's okay to have some of both. No idea why it took me this long, but alas, we are here lol
@@The_Sampler Awesome! You're just a fun dude to ride along with (virtually) and you ride with other great peeps, love the stories but love the raw stoke too!

He's back! Never sure when you're gonna post these days but I'm 100% here for it when you do!
Means a lot my dude. Should be some coming out more frequently here soon, so keep an eye out 🧐
@@The_Sampler...Nice shreddin'
@@Friskee62 Thanks Thomas!
I know you don’t like uploading pov footage without a story behind it but you always make it fun to watch.
My video also locks up at 4:34 I've tried multiple devices and even wifi vs cellular. Hope Alex see's this and figures out what's going on, really want to watch.
Raw vidoes like this are why i started watching your stuff years ago, so much better seeing things unfold pov style than having a 'storyline' video
Old school sampler video right there! Love it
Love the classic sampler style.

Classic single track sampler. Going old school. Love it. This trail with the leaves is giving me a panic attack.
Sweet, some old school sampler 👍🏼 I hope you throw a few of these in from time to time

Your so full of stoke that whenever I watch your videos I feel so happy.
Cool to see you riding in Pisgah! It’s where I first starting watching your videos. And just love Pisgah trails!
Oh hello old friend, It's been a while since I've seen you in my feed. 🙂
Oh hello there bud! :D
Ngl, I've missed these types of video from you. It's what brought me to your channel all the years ago.
So nice to see some pov of you just shredding an having a good time. I’ve looked up to your riding for a long time and it’s made me want to ride harder (with more stoke too). Please make more shred content like this. Nothing wrong with the stories you make, but this is og singletrack sampler. Happy New Year dude!
Bro these are the videos are started following you for! The raw Sampler having a rad time!!! Please keep this up and make more of these.
Single Track Sampler Old School Style Hell Yeah!!!
Yeah dude. A combination of the new style videos and vlog/pov videos is great in my opinion. I always felt like I was along for the adventure with your old videos.
The classic style Sampler videos are my favorite!
Pilot Rock is no joke. I can't imagine leaf surfing it. I went down it clipped in. It was the trail that made me want to ride flats. Well done.
The Original Sampler's BACK!! Oh man, this is good! I missed this unplugged no voice-over, raw, visceral, Sampler. This is it! Just ride!
Yay! An old school POV video from the Sampler! Made my day, man.
A group ride with the “Sampler” with a rock and roll trail. Let’s Go! You had some great lines with some cookin speed. Walk off OTB with a finish of you listening to your body. On Point. Worth all 24:21

Love the old school raw footage !!! Keep it coming
LOVED this old school Sampler vid. Also, these are the sickest trails in the Pisgah.
Glad to see you back, whether you upload everyday or once a year, I’ll watch your videos right as they come out 🤙
Needed some raw singletrack! Keep sprinkling these in!! Seems like everyone is getting better at editing and making such high quality videos that they forget that sometimes we just need good riding to help the stoke! Also... Kevin was ripping! Good stuff while we wait for the big trip content to drop!!
Yaas, been waiting on an og sampler style vid!
Always so stoked when you post a video!
Yo thanks dude, glad you dig them 🙏
Well done, this is an epic pre-ride stoke building video
Appreciate the classic sampler action, love this content!
Awesome video! POV on trails like those never gets old.
Classic Sampler…. Loved it!
Sick shredding dude 🤙 Bennett is so treacherous!!
So are we going to talk about the Fezzarri? Did I miss an episode about it? Seen quite a few very incredible riders lately on one of these. My attention has been caught. 🤟😎👍
I love the longer ride experience video! It might have taken two sit downs to finish it but it was totally worth it! Great video! 👍
Those leaves making things trickier just to keep you on your toes. Good one!
Glad to see you're back! Love your videos man, stay safe and happy trails
Stoked for a new Sampler vid!
Happy new year, brother
Look at you learning and adapting haha place looks fun even with all the leaves down
love this raw riding vid style)) keep em comin.. cheers!
Happy new year Alex! Hope it goes well for you🤟🏻
Classic MTB youtube - just some pov of dope trails with good buds...we all love it!
lmao, my dude said, "i'm not doing it". Sick video as always really missed biking and watching your videos. They always brought me joy and got me stocked to ride.
Good to see you in Pisgah again Single.

Some Friday POV footage from the sampler is the good shit I've been missing
Ride looked like a blast! Nice POV video.
Yeahaaaa, more gnarl with the Sampler. Let 2022 come, baby!
Another cracking video. Thank you. Always look forward to yours. Nice to see you sporting a pair of Brian’s gloves. When are you two gonna do another series?
What an awesome video, and way to show how to bail like a pro.
Mt parents live about 20 minutes from that trail system. I need to go check it out one day, it looks like a great place to ride. Problem is I live in Florida so distance is an issue. I live about 4 miles from Grapefruit trails so that will do for now.
Anyone else’s video freezing at approximately 4:35? Audio goes on but the frame is stuck. Good stuff - love to see the Pisgah gnar!
Happy New Year Alex. God to see some new content and hope you're back for good. Nice to see Kevin getting some time off from Seth :)
So THAT'S what the trail looks like! The last time I rode Pilot Rock, it was covered in leaves and I had no idea where the bumps were. This is killer.
Bennett in the leaves is so sketch! I'm glad you show that it's not super simple to clean all of the rocks out there! I don't feel so bad now!
I've been watching old STS videos recently so it's cool to get a new one.
Excellent to see just some good old school riding. Bike parks are fun, but sometimes it feels like that's where all the videos are made these days
Great, raw, pure riding video! Loved it!
Fall surfing!!!!! 🔥✌️🤟👌👍🔝 Welcome back !!! Good to know you are still going strong
Pilot is the shit, and those leaves belie some serious jank. Nice vid man
Glad to see you back
duuuuuuuuude i neeeeeeeeed to hit this trail, mega stoked for the spring time
Good to see you back!!
That jump transition at 21:20 was prime! 🤙🤙
What a courteous group of like minded riders, Such an influence on todays youth. Brings a drippy tear to my third eye
It’s amazing you get any traction skiing on those leaves. Happy New Year Alex!
Rode Buckwheat and Bennet back in the day on 26" wheels. It was a wrist breaker. Good riding and glad you did that drop after being sketched for a sec.
Diggin those gloves!! BKXC powder blues
Thrilling to be able to feel like I'm the one riding!!!
What is happening with the audio? Seems like it is off track from the video pretty bad? I’ve closed my RUclips app out like 3 times are restarted the video but it’s wonky still
Argh, not getting notifications of your uploads at all! Glad you're back!
Keep up the good work Alex!
Happy new year! great vid!
That kind of group riding videos are the best.
Yeah, nice! If you ever get the chance, get to Tasmania in Australia and check the trails! EWS certified!
Missed this type of video !
Yeah Alex is back at it!! party laps!! I don't know if it's only on my device but the audio wasn't synced to the video?
I know a lot of people say things like this but your videos do make a lot of people's day better including mine
Helll yeah Alex and Kevin killing it🤘 been waiting for a video 🙌
What a great video! Thanks Alexander!
It's been a while Alex, but another EPIC video by one of our favorite RUclips Mountain Bikers on the planet... "The Singletrack Sampler"
That's a death march for sure. Did that 1 time and I'm good for life. Seth was with us on his hardtail. Never again. Lol
Sick riding my dudes! Hopefully making my way back down there in a couple months 😎👍
Sick bike Alex! My Delano arrives in May!!
Would love to see a vid about the delano and all the parts you are running
Looking good dude! I'm hoping to get back out into Pisgah soon!
Best video I have seen in a while. Everyone is so stoked and looking at those amazing trails and scenery in the video makes me want to get out there. Please explain the shuttle setup and parking areas needed to do this. Also curious about how long it takes to do this same series of trails. Thanks for sharing! Oh and 4000 feet of decent! 😳😳😳
Waiting for the Germany footage, being a Dutchy it has an attraction to see you ride on terrain which I could ride on as well.
Finally where have you been!? So excited your back!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I needed this video today!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Haha, like skiing but on leafs!
I'm always looking for new trials to ride (I moved down to Spartanburg in May) These are now on my radar! I did all of Black Mountain last weekend, all the hike a bike at the top really sucked, but it the end, it was killer.
Oh fine, you talked me into another trip to Pisgah...
