Awesome interview, Olly. You asked every question I had even after watching Sam's videos on Darkfest.
The fresh prince of bigair has more of a ring to it.

that's one of the names that Warner used to call Greg Minnaar in his more wild commenting days!

Air to the thrown
I just love the nuance of the behind the scenes, rather than just showing the hype. It makes the actual accomplishment so much more appreciated. Having no head is not half as impressive. Also, geeky feedback: Sound is better when a bit further away from the mic, as you're not compensating for the plosives in post.

Big up and noted on the mics!!
Loved this episode! (I mean, all episodes, obviously!) But so cool to hear a bit of the BTS of what goes into something as incredible and awesome as DarkFest… 👊😎❤️
That last bit going to send the Freeride scene into a spin! Sam casually dropping bombs

Where’d you think it could be?!
Congratulations to Sam and his wife on the upcoming addition to his family 🎉 He’s always soo polite, eloquent and mindful in interviews. My son (24yrs old) and his mates say the Darkfest riders are off their heads but it takes years of experience, maths, physics, biology and such a heightened state of awareness to ride jumps like that. As for that mic drop teaser at the end, well I for one will be there! 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌎
Cheers Sam Gratitude to you for your time and effort Darkfest is #1bike event for me Isted’s jump and all others reminds me of when Danny Way jumped the Great Wall of China on a skateboard with a broken ankle. Cheers again.
Insane podcast, hearing insights feels so good so interesting!! And Sam... great bombshell at the end with another venue, props!! WE NEED A DARKFEST CANADA!!!
Good listening, cheers blokes
Hi guys. Hope ur both mending well. I don't know whether I miss it but Tom would be cool to be on. Keep up the rad content. Peace and happiness Russ 🧡

We’ve been trying to align with Tom for over a year… it will happen soon!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching what my playgroup friend has achieved haha was always ahead of us as kids and still pushing the limits years and years on. Biking is just the best thing this world has offered.
Two of the best to do it. bring hilarity to MTB. also good to hear sam's importance of ambiance within the crew. mental health is as important as healed bones. NO MORE BRANKLES KIDS... maybe time to save for a new motor for the ski?
My burning question, before even watching the video, is what is the brand of Sam's yellow check shirt?
How's the the hand Ollie? Sam upmost respect as well, just watched day 2 practice OooW! its gonna be a windy decider. Men of Science and may skills have a great day! Ollie mate, did you have a look at coast line tour from a boat? my brothers mate cousins sons friend can get us one
great name for sam

congratulations sam kids rule ! bikes rule, darkest rules the most
when i fuked my ankle, i raced it fixed by bouncing on the trampoline ON MY BACK bounciing with my feet in the air, so the injurie was raised and high blood flow
Dark Fest is mental. Rampage stop saying that tricks on a big jump is not shreding ( as they did about the big back flip over the canyon)
I have had bone bruise in my ankle and it took me months. Did you try shock wave therapy?
omg 28 to 37 degrees on the ninety?? 🥴😲🥴🔥🔥
AG1 is a joke. Not because its no good. But because it's made just down the road from me in Nelson New Zealand and worse you can't buy it in New Zealand. 😢😢😢
