SAM HOPE

Hi I'm Sam H.

  I love everything to do with bikes. Usually competing in Enduro with the occasional Downhill race or casual local XC. I currently ride a Pivot Mach 6 and absolutely love it!! I have been a bit quiet on the bike recently as my husband Sam and I welcomed our first baby in November 2025. We can't wait to get her on the shotgun. We hope that she will grow up to be as stoked on bikes as we are.

I am stoked on seeing women on bikes. Before baby, I helped out with the womens ride nights and a touch of womens coaching. Living in Dunedin we are so lucky to have some really great riding locations like Signal Hill and Whare Flat. It is awesome to have Queenstown and Wanaka close by for weekend missions. See you on the trails!
