Sam Pilgrim (Official Sam Pilgrim Page) going big during Red Bull Joy Ride Contest in Whistler on his NS Bikes Soda Slope. This event was as always one of the FMB World Tour highlights. Our team rider finished this season on a very good 5th spot and was featured on RedBull.com among other top riders.

Sam Pilgrim set the early season pace in the overall FMB Tour standings after winning Vienna Air King:

"Once again the Vienna Air King has been and gone and I managed to get first place for the third year running! I can’t explain how happy I am and how fired up I am for the rest of the World Tour!!"
