DarkFEST 2018 turned it up to the next level this year, with some of the most mind-blowing FMB action ever witnessed! Sam Reynolds once again invited the best Freeriders in the world to join him for a week of limit-pushing riding in the African wilderness.

The DarkFEST course emerges from the wild mountain in Stellenbosch, South Africa, like a supernatural dirt playground. A month of hard graft from the build team of Sam, Nico Vink and Clemens Kaudela, resulted in one of the most progressive and ground-breaking courses seen in the Fest Series line-up.

“It’s a dream come true,” Nico, describing the feeling of finally riding the course that he helped to design and build. Clemens also felt that DarkFEST was the ultimate: “..building whatever we want and riding with friends…that’s the dream!”

The day kicked off with the Best Trick on the 27 foot, near-vertical goliath of a Step-Up, where some of the most insane tricks went down. Nicoli Rogatkin went full ham, throwing a Cash Roll and took the ‘Best Trick’ award, voted by all the riders. Adolf Silva was crowned winner of the “Best Line,” owning the 90 foot ‘Beast’ jump with a huge backflip and a stylish Seat Grab Indian over the Hip.

The Spank Whip Off went down on The Beast to round off the day and had to be awarded to Sam Reynolds, who went fully sideways with the most twisted Whip of the day.
