DARKFEST 2023 | OFFICIAL HIGHLIGHTS EDIT

We’re stoked to present the DarkFest 2023 Official Highlights edit in all its glory, with a whopping 24-minute runtime containing the most jaw-dropping sends, huge slams, video game-esque NBD tricks and the nuttiest haircuts captured over 5-days of absolute mayhem down in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Press start, select your rider, and prepare to enter a new realm of freeride. 

Sam Reynolds and the crew have pushed the boundaries of freeride mountain biking even further than anyone could fathom in 2023. Assembling one of the most legendary and diverse rider line ups of men and women in the game. The progression seen at DarkFest this year has been off the charts, seeing the first ever female top-to-bottom runs, unlocking the all new 110ft double and a record breaking 120ft backflip from Tom Isted.

“To say I’m stoked would be an understatement, breaking two records in one jump and taking home the King of Darkness award, I still can’t believe it all actually happened” – Tom Isted

“I had a couple of goals coming into the week and the vibes were just perfect for it, being the first female to make a top-to-bottom run and flipping the step up exceeded all my expectations. DarkFest is the sickest week ever!” – Robin Goomes
