I love Swatch Nines, and seeing so many skiers get together, but I feel like paying skaters/bikers is just a waste of money. I just think that most people who see the event aren't that interested in biking and skating. I mountain bike myself but seeing Sam Pilgrim in a skiing edit just feels weird.

TLDR: what are your guy's thoughts on skaters and bikers in swatch nines

its just to blow people's minds, because who tf would think about putting a bowl in the middle of a bunch of ski jumps.

As much as I love biking and Sam pilgrim, was a little weird when I saw his name on the rider list thing. Not super into the whole event so haven’t really watched much of it but it’s so weird to me that they brought it those skaters and bikers. They must think for some reason that every person that skis also bikes. I thought that until I like was 9

Yeah, that was my exact reaction lol. I guess they make money from the clips of bikers and skiers together?

If you're a fan of Sam Pilgrim, you're not a fan of mountain biking. You're a fan of jackass, MTB influencers.

It's to make crazy reels to go viral. I would imagine the goal is to appeal to people who do not normally look at ski/bike content, and or get more shares, to reach a wider audience.

The videos are for children, and in my opinion it’s better than any other Fortnite bullshit kids are watching
