BREAKING NEWS: DarkFEST Build Week 1 Report

Jan 202019

Sam Reynolds, joined by Nico Vink and Clemens Kaudela, touched down in South Africa just a little more than a week ago to commence the build for DarkFEST 2019. Arriving at the location just outside Stellenbosch, the boys quickly got to work on the rain rutted and weather beaten course armed with some serious digging machinery. Fast forward five days, they've managed to make some serious headway on the 2019 features that will be sure to get jaws dropping when the first riding footage surfaces. 

The crew from DBNC News stopped by the build site for an exclusive scoop on the first week of the build.

Check it out below!

No day of building is complete without an evening rip at the Hellsend Dirt Compound, located just a few hundred meters from the DarkFEST line. Sam, Nico and Clemens make light work out the "fun" size jumps during the last light of the day.
