Stellenbosch – The incredible Darkfest 2024 MTB event at The Hellsend Dirt Compound at Vuurberg Farm near Stellenbosch saw high action throughout the week. 

From huge makes, some brutal slams and tons of excellent times on and off the bikes, the spirit of freeride is alive and well.

The gathered international riders had to endure some tricky wind conditions during the Darkfest 2024 practice and warm-up days, but everything came together for the riders on Saturday.

With everyone pushing it and going for records, there were some incredible performances, as well as some unhinged sends and jumps. 

The event finished with rider-voted awards for riders who pushed their personal limits for victory and glory in various categories.
