SPECIAL NOTE. THIS
TEXT HAS BEEN WRITTEN TWO MONTH AGO, WHEN SAM WAS STILL WITH US.
I JUST HOPE SHE HAD THE TIME TO READ IT.
Samantha Morgan: Each time I have to speak about Samantha, I
feel respect for this woman. And you should do so.
Because I know a lot about the lady. And I can tell you right now, that
from the 50 or 60 riders that I know, she is the best and the strongest.
Samantha was tough by her adoptive father Sonny Pelaquin as
she was 15 I think, or may be later, I dont know.
The first time I met Samantha was in Charleston SC on a Five Vivonas
show. I was in the states with carnies friends who
visited their rides on the same show. I saw the very nice wall, and the
girl rider, her wall partner was Wally, a cool man.
They allow me to ride, it was for me inesparate. I was 18
riding in an American wall, it was my dream coming true.
Thanks for this. Then Samantha told me stories of wall riders in the
us, and about her life also. Not so easy life as
for much
of us. Samantha had to
fight against a lot of things in her life. I will
speak only about what I am sure to be allowed to.
Her numerous accidents on the wall. She broke three times a back!! Yes,
vertebrae broken. She got burned. When she comes to
rides in Europe
me and Samantha had a collision, my Indian didn't move, but
Samantha's Honda, felt like a Stone with her. When I came down, she was
on the floor of the drome, with blood
coming out from her hear. She spoke some words, but didn't moved. This
was the fear of my life.
The injuries were: Pelvis broken, one vertebra broken, knee broken. and
couple of other stuff.
This, in ONE CRASH. Samantha stood two month on a flat bed, then 6
month in wheel chair... And Samantha
rode again. This was in 1992, and I know that similar accidents happens
to her since then.
And she still riding. Many riders have' stopped their careers for less
injuries. Sammantha not. But she; not just a warrior. She rides good on
the wall,
the style is here, she can perform tricks on a simple Honda, not only
on the best wall bike of the, the Indian.
Nothing can take Sam away from the wall, nor broken bones, nor men, nor
pains. I saw on her website that somebody donate her a wall to finish
the restoration. She needs donation, or help. Or if you owe something
to Samantha give her back, I heard some people weren't so cool with Sam
recently.
So dude, come back on your steps.
Anyway. Samantha is the woman a director could have the idea to make a
film on her life, am sure it will happen.They did one on Burt Monroe ;)
I repeat, she is so strong and determinate, like NO OTHER
riders I have met or heard about. I knew her personally.
Sam is the female version of Brian Deegan (disposable hero), but with
no cameras, and most of the time, with just a very few friends to
support her in her hard times.
Samantha on the wall. She can do what she want here.
Sam knows a thousands of people from all kind, here with an Idian girl
I guess and her good friend Ghotgirl.

Land speed record for Sam with an Idian off course.
A man was restoring a wall of death, but did sooner as he thought to.
So the family of the man donate it Sam.
She wont ask, but she needs help. So if anyone want to sponsor a wall
in the us, it's your time.
Ah, I forgot. Sam has two passions. The wall and her numerous dogs.
