Sam Reynolds is back at the DarkFest farm in Stellenbosch as the build and preparation begins for the world’s biggest jumps and craziest riders. In one month, the riders will unleash their bikes on the famous course, including the 110ft jump. What will recede down this year? Only time will expose!
Sam walks around with Theo Erlangsen to see the damage the winter rain has done and what work is needed.
This year will be radder than ever with the trails crew, Justin and Duran rebuilding and perfecting the world’s gnarliest gigantic air course. After the craziness of the world record 120ft backflip last year, we can’t wait to see what happens on the biggest jump ever seen in a competition! A classic lineup of riders will join Sam, and some recent faces involved to slice their teeth on the course, including novel boys and girls, will join. So watch for the full riders list soon, and stay updated on the build on Sam’s YouTube channel and the Darkfest Instagram.
