Video: Reflections, Part Two - Back to the Roots
Sam Dale came out of the starting blocks with a bang at the start of 2014, with three back-to-back top-10 finishes at the World Cup, as well as the BDS. Although the remainder of the season didn't quite go to plan, Sam rounded off the year with 15th place overall, as well as claiming 11th place at World Champs. In part two of Reflections, Sam talks about his preparation for next season, his passion for motorbikes and hitting every turn as hard as possible.

Absolutely. I was lucky enough to share an uplift there with Sam and ratboy a couple of years ago. The tracks are MUCH steeper than that video makes them look.

The Clash, a KTM and a DH bike on a serious track. Honestly, can't get any better than this, can it?

When it comes down to it I miss the buzz of racing but when your times are twice that of the fast guys not really as much point in calling it racing
