Sam, I'm a 51 year old man who's hay day was in the mid to late 80s. Bicycles have always been a part of my life and I regret not being able to smash jumps like you and all of your fellow riding mates. So, I live vicariously through you and Pilgrim, Matt Jones and several others. Keep pumping out the videos and I won't miss a single one of them. Great riding! Thanks.
I’ve got just 8 years on you and yes I regret every time I watch, Sam, Sam, Matt……. that I can’t do any of that anymore. Lost my left lower leg 1,5 years ago, got a MTB Trike but next week I’m going to start trying to ride my E-MTB again. You guys give me the inspiration needed to get going again. Thank you very much, all the very best for the future.
It’s never too late to pump up the volume… I’m 68 going on 69 and first went to places like Dyfi and Revs two years ago… still going and plan a visit every 6 weeks in ‘25! Rock on 🎉 And thanks for the inspiration Sam 😊
Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you. ❤* John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life". ❤❤!!
You come across as a true gent with gratitude and respect. A role model to the current and future rippers, a true ambassador for your sponsors. Good luck.
Sam, I run a team of bike guides, we ride mostly gravel/XC but every year I sit down with my team and watch pure darkness 1 in our training week. For me that is mountain biking. The greatest hype movie ever, it always makes us want to ride as does all of your other stuff. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best in 25!
This reminds me a lot of when I was a kid, doing BMX stuff with my friends, only you guys are doing it on a much larger scale, I can see the same enthusiasm and joy that we had as kids.
Sad to hear, but I hope you get something else lined up soon. I reconnected with bikes during the pandemic after many years off. Your content and that of your peers inspired to get back out there. At 54 I'm loving two wheels again!
You were the inspiration for me buying my NS Decade because, if it was good enough for Sam Reynolds, it was good enough for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Interested to see what the future holds. Whatever happens I’m sure it’ll result in more bangin’ vids.

That was incredible to watch my dude. Thank you for going so indepth with everything and giving everyone a history walk into it all. The spirit behind this is why I ride bikes relationships with mates, fun and good times and the journey and of course the peace of mind that comes with it. AND DARKFEST 10 YEARS! LFG! I love this. PS Can Brage get an invite haha?
Mate over ther years you have given us some top level content ….. watching your vids has beena privalege to watch you will 100% been picked up by another sponser cant wait to see where life takesbyou next keep up the 🔥 content 🤙🏻
This time of the year!! Every time this year we see this happen! With a name like yours, i dont think you will have a hard time finding a new sponsor. Some like GT and rocky mountain are not doing well, the ones that are not doing well seem to think that the spike in sales from 2020 and 2021 was going to stay spiked!!! Hey what a ride it has been with NS bikes!!! Been watching you for well over 10 years and even seen you at comps and met you!!! looking forward to the next epic chapter. I just hit 40 earlier this year and been just keeping it simple and keeping risk low but still shredding hard!! Will be at highland park opening day!!! Happy New Year Sam and Company!!
I know times are hard for a lot of bike companies rn, but i would love to see you smashing a Starling or Airdrop or another british bike, around the world. Good luck Sam.
Always love your videos Sam. If you ever want music for a video we would love to have our music in videos. We all ride and in our younger days we found out about a ton of music from watching bike and skate videos. Can’t wait to see where you end up.
It's such a shame that a lot of brands are downsizing or even cancelling their teams. My 15 y/o daughter has been pushing hard with various events to try and get noticed. With so few females in the sport, this is going to make it so much harder. I'll just have to keep helping her with her dream as much as I can. Thank god she is only into cars, bikes and horses 😂
Such ashame what was the reasoning or you being dropped? Also I sure someone will snap you back up but it just depends what you want and if you want to compete again. Hopefully it all works out for you in the future and maybe catch you on the trails and have a ride with you
Sam, there hasn’t been a full and proper review of the NS Define 170 . Would you mind slipping one in before you move over to your new sponsor? :) cheers mate! Merry Christmas!
@ thanks so much mate! I’m getting one next week. I live in the Philippines. So that’s a polish bike I saw on an Aussie rider now making its way to the Philippines. The world is our playground truly.
Why does a contract like that end? I can't get my head around it. Both (NS Bikes & Sam) are doing fine. Why would they won't to stop that collaboration??
Lots of marketing budgets from sponsors are being cut and riders are the first thing to go! I also got an offer from someone else and think I want to try something a bit different!
I think that most brands spend too much money sponsoring riders and the people that are really paying for it is the average consumer. It would be good for some of these riders to get a 9 to5 job and just ride on their time off.
@@glynnb6572 Sam and a lot of other people know where I am coming from. Just to educate you a little bit I will try to explain. A company like Monster sponsors so many riders and that money must come from the consumer, You might say " Just don't buy anything Monster if you are so butt hurt about it", but the price of a can of Monster allows even cheaper Energy Drink brands to keep putting up their prices and this cycle continues. Drinks, bikes, parts, clothing and the list goes on.

Haha awesome thanks man! There will be more don’t worry!
@@SamReynolds26 Thanks for the reply, Sam! Made my day for sure. I think I'll go out and wreck my bike now. ha ha ha

Thank you man! Nothing but gratitude for the live I’ve lived the last 11 years
Hopefully another bike sponsor will pick you up, you definitely deserve it.
Thankyou! 🙏🏼

Your rampage run was more fun to watch then most of the runs from this year. (Except one)
All the best in finding a new sponsor. Must be hard when even somebody like Tom Isted didn't have a sponsor for so long.
The beginning of a new chapter! Can't believe it's been 10 yrs already for dark fest. The only jumps I get chills just by watching. Cheers Sam!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
Ah Sam, Always a joy to watch. Will now have to wait and see where your next episode/chapter goes... It'll be brilliant I'm sure.
Embrace the change, all the best for the future, whatever it is I know it will be amazing :)
Thanks man! Let’s see where it goes!
That was a great watch Sam. Some really memorable, exciting and inspiring stuff you've been up to. Best of luck with whatever you ride in 25! 🙂👏👊
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
This reminds me a lot of when I was a kid, doing BMX stuff with my friends, only you guys are doing it on a much larger scale, I can see the same enthusiasm and joy that we had as kids.
Sam what a top guy respectable to the end. Hopefully soon you will get new sponsor and can't wait to see more content from you

sad to see you leave them but excited for whats to come! i reckon you would suit canyon
That would be cool! I think they already have some guy who does jumps called Sam though 😂
@@SamReynolds26 yeah thats true hahah
Fingers crossed on the new sponsor! Happy upcoming New Year to you and to your fam! Keep the shred alive! Braaap
It was honor to be in team with you Sam!
You and Pilgs are NS Bikes to me, shit to see you go but I just know theres like 10 companies dying to have Sam as an ambassador

A great rider and cool guy! I'm sure the future holds great things for you!
Thanks man 🙏🏼
Love your video content. Hopefully you get a great new sponsor and look forward to seeing more videos in 2025. Happy new year to you and your family
Thank you! Happy new year to you too
Rogate looks pretty awesome! Let’s hope things pan out in your favour for next year 👊👊
Great vid Sam! Really well put together. 👊🏻

Absolute class when rampage was a freeride course and not a slopestyle class mate good luck for the future 👏
Thanks dude!

🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️
Best of luck, and can't wait for your next Chapter Sam!
100% class act! Good luck sir! I’ll be watching!!! 🍻
Where one door closes another opens. Bitter sweet I’m sure but good things ahead!!
Fingers crossed!
Excited to see what's in store for you! 🤘
I sense a focus sponsor in the works
Loved watching you from your polygon days , best of luck for the future hopefully a big bike sponsor and team will snap you up
Thank you mate
So many cool things! Pure Darkness, though, was incredible. Looking forward to seeing what everyone can create at DarkFest 10…! 🤘😎🔥
It’s guna be a good one! Might have to use the intro song again!
I know times are hard for a lot of bike companies rn, but i would love to see you smashing a Starling or Airdrop or another british bike, around the world.
Good luck Sam.
For a 1st timer 1st run at rampage that was better than some podium runs since then
Keep keeping Surrey on the bike map and of course Darkest!!! Happy New Year Sam.
Thanks man you too
I grow up with your channel bro, you're the best and you'll be
I appreciate that man thank you!! Don’t worry we will keep the channel going whatever happens!
Great work Sam!
I still have my Polygon trid here... would be nice to see you again with the Trid
Great bike!
fantastic episode
🙌🏼❤️
crack on sam...new horizons! from a 72yr old still riding with my son and grand-daughter.
Amazing! Keep it up!
Always love your videos Sam. If you ever want music for a video we would love to have our music in videos. We all ride and in our younger days we found out about a ton of music from watching bike and skate videos. Can’t wait to see where you end up.
You're awesome Sam!
Cant wait to see who your next bike sponsor is gonna be Sam!
So sad to hear your leaving ns and I hope another sponsor will offer just as much support to you
I've been with NS for ages. I'm not sponsored. Not pro. Not even that good. I just bloody live riding and love my NS 💪
They’re great bikes!
I bought an NS Eccentric hard tail frame because of you.
That’s great to hear! I hope you are enjoying it!
I’ve never even heard of NS bikes until now! 🤯
Have a look at the old soda clips to sell the bikes, there so rad, I remember one with a french rider basically downhilling huge boulders
Change can always be good sir.
Older? Wiser? Naaah… still nucking futz! So glad you’re you! Respect!
All the Best Sam
Transition Bikes, my personal fave, would be wise to get on the Euro/UK scene with someone like you!
Always loved transition!
Would love to see you on an Airdrop!
I foresee a specialized sponsor happening soon!!!
It's gotta be Focus, right? Who else would it be
Marin calling it now
Follow Sam to Canyon. I’m sure they love to have ya. He’s stoked in their bikes.
Was this filmed yesterday?? I'm sure I saw some absolute legends throwing shapes at s4p yesterday when I drove past on my way to Southampton 😅😅
It was! 😅
@SamReynolds26 FUCKING KNEW I should have put my bike in the car and stopped off 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😅😅😅😅
What is going on with the industry, so many riders without sponsors and companies going under left right and centre. I wish you all the best Sam!
Yeah it’s tough out there right now!
I'd buy the pin up of your Rampage's Superman grab
It's such a shame that a lot of brands are downsizing or even cancelling their teams. My 15 y/o daughter has been pushing hard with various events to try and get noticed. With so few females in the sport, this is going to make it so much harder. I'll just have to keep helping her with her dream as much as I can. Thank god she is only into cars, bikes and horses 😂
Love my ns eccentric bike fun playful bikes
11:12 - is this a 360 superman seat grab? Does that trick exist?
I guess it does!
Marin or canyon next 🤞
Let’s see!
That's great! Now you can send me all the bikes you can't ride anymore because of new contractual obligations
❤
❤❤❤
Such ashame what was the reasoning or you being dropped? Also I sure someone will snap you back up but it just depends what you want and if you want to compete again. Hopefully it all works out for you in the future and maybe catch you on the trails and have a ride with you
All good things come to an end
When you barspin, do you pinch with your foot and heel or your knees on the seat? I’m having a hard time
Kinda yeah, I think I try to pinch the seat with my knees which makes it easier. I learnt up a 1/4 pipe onto the top for minimal consequences!
Sam, there hasn’t been a full and proper review of the NS Define 170 . Would you mind slipping one in before you move over to your new sponsor? :) cheers mate! Merry Christmas!
I rode 2 Megavalanche on it and trans Madeira and it was awesome! Kinda the ultimate test!
@ thanks so much mate! I’m getting one next week. I live in the Philippines. So that’s a polish bike I saw on an Aussie rider now making its way to the Philippines. The world is our playground truly.
I'm sure with 288k Subs you'll get another bike sponsor...
Can I buy your ns bike!? :D Sad to see one of my favorite riders leave one of my favorite company's. I wish you the best in your future journey sam!
Yes all my bikes are now for sale 😂😂
@ bauahah how much for slopestyle with a signed poster 👌😂
Most clicked thinking the backyard was over.
That will be a really sad day
Damn. They on their way out?
No they’re fine just being cautious with marketing budgets I guess
will u continue to ride ns bike or are you going to try out new brands
Am talking with some other brands so let’s see!
I recon Marin or Propain
Why does a contract like that end? I can't get my head around it. Both (NS Bikes & Sam) are doing fine. Why would they won't to stop that collaboration??
Lots of marketing budgets from sponsors are being cut and riders are the first thing to go! I also got an offer from someone else and think I want to try something a bit different!
canyon
so...there is smthg in the rumors about NS troubles.
I think a lot of bike companies are struggling right now
@@SamReynolds26 4sure. there will be more bankrupts of small brands
Their loss Sam
🙏🏼
another big rider losing sponsors... so sad.
I think that most brands spend too much money sponsoring riders and the people that are really paying for it is the average consumer. It would be good for some of these riders to get a 9 to5 job and just ride on their time off.
Ok sorry
Don't apologise to this bitter bell end. He is just seething he is no good at anything.
