Unless you’ve been locked away for the past few days in a mountain biking parallel universe, you may have missed this year’s biggest transfer news: Sam Hill’s move to Team CRC/Nukeproof.

Adored by thousands around the world and renowned for his inimitable riding style, Sam Hill changed the face of gravity riding since his emergence on the race scene.

As a teaser of what's to come from Sam and the team this year, here are some pics from the five time downhill champ since joining CRC/Nukeproof:

Taken from a soon-to-be-released video edit, here's Sam practising on his new race bike, the Nukeproof Pulse. Click here for more information on the Pulse.

Sam roosting on his local test track wearing Troy Lee Designs race clothing, protection and helmet - sweet! We're looking forward to seeing Sam's new signature D3 lid too...coming soon.

Getting airborne.

The Nukeproof Pulse complete with RockShox Boxxer forks, SRAM shifting, Avid brakes, Mavic wheels, Nukeproof bar/seatpost/saddle and Schwalbe tyres.

And here are a few pics taken from Sam's Instagram feed - The Nukeproof Pulse again...

When he's not practising on his Pulse, Sam will be clocking up the trail miles on this Mega TR. Click here for more information on the 2013 Nukeproof Mega range.

Such a good feeling to see Hill riding in CRC colours for this year!

Troy Lee Designs will be providing Sam's clothing and protection this year, and we can't wait to see a signature D3 helmet!

You're not the only ones to get your stoke on when a CRC parcel arrives - here's Sam's son, Bam, getting stuck in!
