Sam Remington, #556, joined MRA in 2022 and raced each season. In 2024 he reached a podium, a milestone he celebrated with humor and pride. Beyond racing, he was a mentor and friend in the paddock, known for canyon rides and multiple motorcycles.
Born in Michigan and later connected to Dallas before settling in Colorado, Remington pursued many outdoor and aviation activities, including kayaking, hang gliding, skydiving, skiing, scuba, mountain biking, and private flying. He held a Michigan skydiving record for a large group jump. A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Nov. 1, 2026, in Lyons, Colorado.
Remington’s death may be felt most acutely by the MRA paddock, his partner Tina, family, and friends, who lose a mentor and familiar presence. Within the wider motorcycling community, the story could renew attention to the vulnerability of riders sharing roads with cars, especially in canyons and rural routes. It may also remind local clubs how deeply one member can shape a community through friendship, mentorship, and shared passion. Its impact may remain personal and communal rather than sweeping.
