Sam Reynolds

Sam Reynolds is a British freeride mountain biker. He signed his first professional contract with Polygon Bikes in 2011 and took his first FMB World Tour win in 2012 at White Style, where he landed a double backflip. At Red Bull Rampage in 2015 he won the Best Trick award for a superman over the canyon gap.

He created Darkfest, an invite-only big-jump freeride event in South Africa that grew out of the Pure Darkness jump builds and video projects he led with friends. Darkfest was part of the FEST Series until 2021 and has run independently since. The 2026 edition, held in March at the Hellsend Dirt Compound near Stellenbosch, marked ten years of the event, and Sam led the course build.

In February 2026 he rejoined Polygon Bikes, and he is a Monster Energy athlete. Alongside Darkfest, he posts riding vlogs on his YouTube channel and competes at selected events.
