Sam Hill Shoulder Injury Update
Here’s a quick Sam Hill update from Monster/Specialized Team Manager, Sean Heimdal:
As most of you know, Sam had a pretty big training crash in Fort William that he was fortunate enough to walk away from with limited damage. Since then, Sam has flown back home to get an MRI on his injured shoulder and be in the close comfort of his family, friends, and coach. Though we don’t know the extent of the injury at this time, he will be missing the UCI World Cup in Leogang, and we’ll keep you informed with his progress over the next couple weeks.
Sam is pretty upset about what’s happened…not only for the personal goals he had set for himself this season, but also the fact that he’s not going to be out there pushing the limits for you all to watch in person or on Freecaster. Sam loves to ride hard, elevate the sport, push the competition, and backing down just isn’t in his vocabulary. The competition shouldn’t take this as a gift because he’ll bounce back stronger than ever.
Thank you all for your continued support!

Spomer...how can you live with yourself publishing this? Devoid of facts, reason, logic, content...it's against the creed! Lots of other dramatic statements equivalent to "the suck".

Shoulder injuries are tough to overcome, but Minnaar certainly has!

heard a funny story over the weekend. apparently some people were stopped on a high line at whistler and some guy comes hauling ass up and almost hits them. The people yelled at him "Who do you think you are? Sam Hill?"...Turned out it was.

It's gonna be crazy how hungry he comes back! Heal up Sam, I think his competition should take this as a gift, but know its going to be a crazy 2011 season for how fast Hill will be going. Bummed we wont get to watch him kicking butt this season, hopefully he will be back for the Finals
