NINE KNIGHTS MTB: SAM REYNOLDS RULED IT

Sep 122016

It’s been an epic week in the mountains of Reschenpass for the Suzuki Nine Knights MTB 2016.

 Athletes were treated to a brand new and totally unique course designed and produced in collaboration with Sam Reynolds. The course featured 7m high quarter pipes , a huge “trick Jump” and a mammoth gap jump known as “Big Bertha” .

Reynolds charged hard all week, executing text book whips and superman combinations and even a massive flat spin over Big Bertha. 
In the end, the hard work both on and off the bike paid off for Sam when he received the title of “Ruler of the Week – A prestigious award voted for by fellow Nine Knights athletes.

Sam Reynolds : “I was really stoked that it all came together and all my friends had a good time on the course! Its pretty nerve racking to build something like a course of this size as you’re never sure its going to come out exactly as you had dreamed, but it went off really well and to be awarded 2nd place overall is just the cherry on the cake of one epic week.”

Max Fredricksson showed why he’s one of the most progressive names in FMB throwing some of the most technical tricks of the week including a huge “Back flip double bar spin to tuck combinations and blasting the quarter pipes and hips.

Max Fredricksson : “I had a super good time – its my 1st time at Nine Knights! All the boys shredded hard all week long. Sam and Clements did an amazing job on the course and Nico made sure it was an amazing event. Probably the funniest event I’ve been to all year.”

Sam Pilgrim proved once again that he can have more fun on a bike than anyone else. The legendary Brit was all of the course, shredding the flow lines, throwing huge flat spins and flips on the trick jumps and in true Pilgrim style lead the charge to the after party.

 
Sam Pilgrim: “Nine Knights was again amazing as always, It’s such a chilled atmosphere – you don’t have to do anything, or you can do everything! So it’s really cool. Mostly you’re just getting good photos over the week, which is good fun, and of course knowing there are all these guys around these crazy cameras and stuff catching all your best stuff is quite good, cause you forget you’ve even done it and then at the end you will see all the cool footage that came out. The comp day for me is just another day hanging out - it’s just playing around, there’s no stress involved, nothing like a real comp. So, all in all, it’s a really rad, rad week and a lot of fun!”
