Sam Reynolds shows us what the Suzuki Nine Knights from Livigno looks like. The Suzuki Nine Knights week in Livigno is in full swing. With the fantastic weather conditions on Sunday, the invited riders were able to get on their bikes a day in advance to check the route and become familiar with the structures of “Il Castello” at Mottolino Fun Mountain. Judging by the level of the tricks during the first “official” day on Monday, the start was the best.

Szymon Godziek (POL) demonstrated his usual simple and flawless style with superman double seat grab (rider completely stretched out of the bike with double grab on the saddle), Peter Henke (GER) lands the first double backflip of the week, while Torquato "Toto “Testa (ITA) showed his great baggage of maneuvers to be played at home. The Whip of the day, “one of the best whips I've seen,” according to Anton Thelander (SWE), was that of Sam Reynolds (GBR) demonstrating his great form.

Sam Reynolds states: "The second day was even better than the first, we learned how to set the speed for the jumps and did some really powerful tricks today." Together with teammate Monster Sam Pilgrim they did a run in follow (following each other closely) to give a preview idea of ​​what it means to run on these structures. The subjective points of view show the starting tower and some of the main features that make this route unique in the world with a multitude of obstacles treated in detail.
