Flying Machine Factory was brought to life in 1973 from grease, metal, fire, and a passion for riding. Forty-five years later, we reflect on stories of how we got to where we are today and the fans who have helped build this brand. Welcome to the Flying Machine Stories: An in-depth look into people or groups that we feel are staples in our sport or breathing new life into the fun that dirt bikes bring into our lives.

Welcome to Flying Machine Stories, episode five: Exposure To The Elements, featuring Sam Jones, a Los Angeles-based photographer and director whose celebrity portraits have appeared on the covers of Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Esquire, GQ, Time, Entertainment Weekly, and Men's Journal. An all-around Renaissance man, Sam also has a huge passion for riding dirt bikes.
