Stellenbosch, SA – June 2021- The official Darkfest highlights are out and they are full of fire.

Big tricks, bigger slams, the biggest jumps and the most progressive crew pushing each other to go bigger than ever before. Is Big Air in safe hands with this motley crew? You can say that again… every Darkfest session was jam-packed with highlights, so our editing team has been working long and hard to cut down hours of madness into just a few minutes. So get stuck into all the best from the week and see you on the other side… Big Air really does care.

“Yep that is… still scary!”- Sam Reynolds

“As it’s the biggest jumps in the world… every now and then everyone makes a mistake and you crash! It’s not good seeing your good friends laying on the ground in pain. He would only wish that we go back out here and ride. And that’s what we do…” — Clemens Kaudela
