Mini bio
How it started.
From Colchester in the UK, Sam built his name in dirt jumping, slopestyle and freeride competitions. A King of Dirt victory in Austria at 17 brought him international attention. In 2013 he won the FMB World Tour overall title.
From contests to the camera.
Sam says he has had his YouTube channel since 2006 and always enjoyed filming and editing. As his contest results became less consistent, he put more energy into videos to keep supporting his sponsors. The channel grew into a new focus for his riding, with challenges, travel, tricks and advice for other riders.
What fans come back for.
His videos move between big jumps, urban spots and experiments with unlikely bicycles. The free bike challenge gives a roadside find a demanding new life, while How I See It turns city riding into a first-person adventure. He joined Canyon’s CLLCTV in 2023 and continues to mix filmed projects with riding events.
