The Hkt Podcast

Sam Reynolds is back in The Ride Companion studio and this one's packed! On this episode we're talking DarkFest 10 and, why it MIGHT be the final event, the new Rocket 2 concept for even more airtime and Sam's full circle return to Polygon bikes after first signing with them back in 2012. Sam breaks down the behind the scenes story of landing his first 'proper' sponsor, how Polygon helped shape his career and the moments he still remembers like they happened yesterday, from Rampage's Superman over the canyon to early contests in the golden era of slopestyle. We also dive into the physics and fear factor of the world's biggest jumps, why tailwhips get harder at speed, what happens if you tap the front brake mid-air and how DarkFest is evolving as the next generation pushes the limits plus, loads more.
