The Ride Companion

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.

On this episode of The Ride Companion Brendan Fairclough pulls back the curtain on his new SRAM deal and why it really happened, the new parts he's running (Boxxer / Maven / XX DH) and what it's like bolting fresh parts on… then riding a brand new custom downhill track in South Africa. Brendog also reveals details of his new travel series and teases which major platform could stream it, the real reason Monster Energy became a title sponsor of the World Cup Downhill series, watching A1 with Troy Lee, Danny MacAskill's mind blowing bridge ride, downhill bike set-up tips and much more!

It's just Davi and Olly in the studio this week and.. it goes exactly how you'd expect. Davi has a new bike day and brings his new Marin Alcatraz dirt jump bike to work (nothing hits like a fresh hardtail), which turns into a bigger conversation about why you don't actually need the best bike to have the most fun. The lads talk about Hardline Tasmania being cancelled, the Super Bowl let down and end up debating UK geology, winter riding, and whether mountain bike culture is slowly losing its soul. We also experiment with a pair of Oakley x Meta glasses in the studio (which gets weird), talk about wether pov is the future of podcasting and answer your listener questions!

In this episode of The Ride Companion, mountain bike legend Martyn Ashton joins us for one of our most honest, funny and important conversations yet. We talk about Martyn's latest project, Rideable Now and why he believes mountain bikers need to show up for mountain biking. During the episode Martyn gives the usual dose of self deprecation to powerful reflections on injury, identity and access. Rideable Now exists to help riders with life changing injuries and disabilities get back on the trails through adaptive mountain bikes, community support and real opportunities to ride again.

The first Ride Companion catch up of 2026… and we're straight back into it! We kick things off talking winter illnesses, whether 'man flu' is actually a thing, and why the placebo effect might be more powerful than people think, along with a few honest Christmas confessions (including why we're both useless at gifts). Lunch & Learn is back and we look at motorway lane rules what the rules actually say. We also cover winning Pinkbike Comment of the Year, New Year goal setting vs streak culture, Davi's newest hobby obsession, the idea of finally doing our bike test, and a huge 2026 partnership announcement for the podcast.

Blake Samson (aka Zimblake) is back on The Ride Companion to talk about what happens after you take the leap. In this episode, Blake breaks down launching his new YouTube channel, building his first major project from scratch, why he's choosing the slow, proper route, and how trust, planning, and passion are shaping what comes next. We also dive into burnout, long-form content, attention spans, building without cutting corners and why fun still matters when your passion becomes your work.

Jono Jones is back for the first Ride Companion episode of 2026 and, Matt Jones joins the chat too!

Jono also shares insights on his role at MAVRIX, what he actually does, why he left banking to work with Matt, how realistic physics shape the gameplay, and why gaming skills are starting to translate into real world riding.

In this episode, I (Davi) reflect on the lessons I've learned this year through building the podcast and business, navigating burnout, deepening friendships, saying no more often, and learning when to slow down. I talk about why community doesn't have to be wide but it does have to be deep, why you can't outwork your nervous system, how guilt shows up when we rest and why giving yourself permission to reset often leads to better work on the other side. This isn't advice — just an honest reflection on what 2025 has shown me so far. If one of these lessons resonates, this episode's done its job. You're the best.

Roger Vieira is back on The Ride Companion and this time it's a completely different chapter! Roger Vieira & Pivot Factory Racing was one of the best stories to come out of the 2025 season. Last time Roger sat in the studio he was questioning whether a factory ride would ever happen, then just weeks later he found himself in Poland racing a brand new bike with barely any testing and suddenly living the dream he'd chased for over a decade. In this episode we unpack that entire whirlwind year, the real difference between "puzzling" as a privateer and "dialling" as a factory rider, battling imposter syndrome, learning to trust the data and the team, and how mindset plays as big a role as fitness. We also dive into Roger's massive Genova street race win on the Pivot Firebird, why that result meant so much to him and the team and how it helped prove he truly belonged at factory level. To top it all off, Roger reveals he's now secured a two year Pivot Factory Racing deal, quit the day job, and is heading into his first ever proper off-season with Queenstown, California and Supercross trips on the horizon. This is one of those full circle Ride Companion stories that we couldn't be more proud to be a part of it. BORA BORA!! The Ride Companion Christmas Ride at BikePark Wales!

Lando Steezy (Leo Smith) has one of the rawest and most inspiring stories we've ever had on The Ride Companion. From growing up homeless, losing family members, watching friends fall into crime and addiction and nearly going down the same path himself, to discovering BMX and eventually becoming one of the most recognisable and influential riders in UK mountain biking, his journey is unreal. In this episode, Lando opens up about his turbulent childhood in Macclesfield, the moment that changed his life at 14, the friends he lost along the way, and how riding became his escape and ultimately his purpose. He talks about the first viral TikTok that blew up overnight, nearly turning down an Anthill Films shoot because he didn't know who they were, and how his partner pushed him back onto social media when he'd lost the love. We dig into representation in MTB, the crossover between wheelie culture and mountain biking, his creative work outside of riding, the grief and anxiety he's learned to manage, and why gravel bikes have become such a big part of his life. This is one of the most honest and powerful conversations we've recorded, and we're massively grateful to Lando for being so open. The Ride Companion Christmas Ride at BikePark Wales!

Rob Warner is back on The Ride Companion! In this episode, Rob joins Olly and Davi to talk about his first ever trip to Red Bull Rampage, what it was like to finally see the venue in person, the true scale you can't capture on TV and what it feels like watching riders hit massive freeride lines for the very first time. The lads also dig into the harsh realities of athletes pushing big-mountain freeride and action sports to the absolute limit. Rob opens up about living with ADHD and autism, how it feels being so publicly outspoken about it, and how commentary helps him find flow state. He also reflects on his recent ADHD diagnosis film series, shares details about his new projects, a Viking death-road film in the Scottish Highlands, a rap collab in New York, and the long-awaited return of the Egg Cult with The Whole Egg-chilada.

The legend, Gee Atherton is on the podcast! In this episode Gee opens up like never before. From bottling fear and the brutal lessons of the Knife Edge crash, to the mindset shift that's carried him from World Cup Downhill racing into big mountain freeride projects. We get into the story of Atherton Bikes and why the family had to start their own brand, why having a World Cup race team was non-negotiable, and what it really takes to build a bike/brand with his family. Gee talks about the future of Red Bull Hardline, why the course has to keep getting bigger, faster and gnarlier, how fear bonds the riders together, and whether it's spawning a brand new discipline: Super Downhill. He also reflects on Rampage (two 2nd places), why walking away from a feature hurts more than crashing, and shares the training hacks that keep him riding at the top level after decades of injuries. Gee teases a brand new edit that almost required him to ride in a stab proof vest and his next big-mountain project in Nepal. This is a rare look inside the mindset of one of the sport's most iconic characters, this episode is unmissable and we hope you enjoy it. If you do, share the episode with your friends!

Trail boss Duncan Ferris is on the podcast! Duncan Ferris has lived two MTB lives: from 4X racer and World Cup track builder to shaping the UK’s most ridden bike park trails at BikePark Wales. In this episode, Duncan takes us from the Bristol BSX scene, to building World Cup 4X tracks like Schladming, Vigo and Villingen and finally chasing down the National Champs jersey after 20 years. We dive deep into trail building psychology, why braking bumps form where they shouldn’t, why variety in a crew is essential and how riders unlock creativity on a trail. Plus Duncan shares the BikePark Wales origin story, the dream project that became Vanta with Red Bull and Laurie Greenland, wild tales of dynamite on trail builds and digging up grenades.
