30 January 2020: DarkFEST Freeride Mountain Biking Event Returns To Stellenbosch

DarkFEST 2020 is officially on! The world famous freeride course is busy being carved out of the mountains of the Helsend Dirt compound in Stellenbosch, South Africa right now in preparation for what’s to come.

From 3-8th February, the most audacious names in freeride MTB will be gearing up to ride the biggest dirt jumps in the world!

The legend of DarkFEST began as a video clip filmed in the UK way back in 2014 by Kenda rider Sam Reynolds and friends with the Pure Darkness series racking up millions of views and becoming a runaway success. Celebrating 4 years of being a renowned FEST series event, the incredible journey from the hills of Surrey to the mountains of South Africa, is about to go through another action-packed rendition.

The event date and times:

Friday 7th February 14:00-20:30

Satuday 8th February  14:00-20:30

“This year we will be improving and extending the already mental course with extra attention on the last features,” said Reynolds of the prep work. “We are going to make the last jump even bigger and make another feature after that as well, so stay tuned for the updates!”

The rider list includes some legendary DarkFEST veterans as well as some young guns to make the most rounded and awesome rider line up of any event ever seen
