THE NIGHT HARVEST | 2017

Being an outdoor event, the weather conditions play a huge factor and in the past we've had some bad luck with wind and rain, despite being in the heat of summer. This year the rain only teased us with a few sprinkles, but it was just enough to wet the jumps nicely and helped settle the dust which was a welcome treat during the drought in the Cape!

Each year the event grows with more and more huge names coming out and this year was no exception. The crowd were spoiled to some of the best riding South Africa has ever seen! Double flips, 1080, flip double whip and flip whip to barspin were just a few of the bangers that were thrown down.

Canada's Nick "Tricky Nicky" Clarke managed to defend his 2016 title and earned himself the top spot in MTB. Seat grab indian on the second set.

Sam Reynolds boosts a wallride invert at the end of the line.

Pat Casey was on fire the entire night! 360 down whip on the last set.

The UK's Declan Brooks managed to walk away with the BMX 1st place after lacing run after run of both big and classic tricks like this 360 Toboggan.

With the wind and rain working in our favour it was the first year in a while that each heat had a full run before the grand finale, best trick on the trick jump line. A few of the riders were pretty beat up after their runs and opted to take it easy, but in BMX Tom Isted was still hungry and absolutely destroyed it! Another double flip from him and a textbook flip superman, but what earned him the BMX title was a double barrel roll.
