Lockdown Lookback: Remembering DARKFEST 2019 in South Africa:

Remembering DarkFEST 2019 Freeride MTB Event 

Lockdown Lookback – remembering cool events from our past.

Remember when we used to have events? Those days were great. DarkFEST 2019 for example, drew a crowd of thousands to watch the best in the world fly over jumps up to 30 metres long and 20 metres high. It was a sick event.

DarkFEST is the only event of its kind in South Africa and continues to be renowned around the world as an absolute standout in the Freeride calendar. The venue in Stellenbosch offers something so unique that the DarkFEST team keep coming back for – a mountainous valley with endless scope for natural-looking lines and no limits to the size of their creations.

The event in 2019 saw Spanish wildman Adolf Silva throw a double flip on the final ‘Rocket Launcher:’ a 20-metre high jump that is considered to be one of the biggest double flips ever landed on a dirt jump and was undoubtedly a highlight of the week. Reminisce on the insane 2019 highlights clip, right here…
