With undeniably the most incredible course ever built for a Freeride MTB event, DarkFEST absolutely lit up in 2018. No stranger to pushing the limits of the sport, Sam Reynolds dreamt up a whole new concept to the event this year, with a completely new location in the beautiful Vuurberg Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
With his co-conspirators Nico Vink and Clemens Kaudela, they dreamt up a dirt playground to rival the biggest courses seen in the Freeride world.
Taking a natural approach to following the line of the mountain and building into the already impressive contours of the hill face, the course offered something for every one of the 16 invited riders to turn it up.
