DARKFEST 2023 Mid Week RAW

Halfway through the week and things are hotting up!! We are saving a lot of the banger shots for the final highlights and full 2023 documentary coming soon... But we had loads of spares so thought we would throw this edit together to keep you guys excited for next week!

Can u invite Sam Pilgrim next year? Would be a blast.

[@buffetline2605]

Dylan Stark is coming too!

[@Honey_Daddy]

Both sams being on course together again would be like the old slopestyle days.

[@PassiveIZ]

Sam very rarely jump stuff this big, he dosnt even have a big bike for this really. I mean he could use the Torque or get a Sender but idk if he would really get stuff thrown down on something so much bigger than what he is used to within a few days.

[@Frank-gp6qr]

​@@PassiveIZ rite... Sam's old.. darkfest needs new blood!! All these guys are doing is whips! Like 95% of the trucks are whips

[@Frank-gp6qr]

Sam's to old.. think darkfest is gonna be called WHIPFEST 2024

[@KincadePavich]

Lost it when I saw the haircuts! Hahah! And MENTAL riding!

[@vovagyruk159]

I will always be happy to watch you, be careful;!!!

[@gilesmayall.]

Beautiful video - Nice grade and silky sound, so nice to hear those bikes.... Hypnotic

[@CharlieKempthorne]

Some of those shots were SICK🤘

[@soundwarper]

Such a sick vibe. Stoked for everyone there and watching! 🤟😎🔥

[@brimendis]

Ooohh the shots below and above the drop, soo sick!

[@stirfrybry1]

I love the new camera angle from the drop in. So cool to give the viewer yet another awesome perspective

[@bearzet2893]

Excellent video with great camera angles/perspectives 👏👏👌👍😀 …. and the riding is 👌 ofcourse

[@wheels.3239]

Mad Video, Love how you show the riders too. Cheers from Oz!

[@weedfreer]

Naweee...it was nice of that young lad with the bleached hair at the beginning to silently mouth 'I love you' at the beginning there! We love you too man! ❤❤

[@penelope5079]

Wavygenisis with the big track selects! Looking forward to the end vid!

[@3xWoody]

Editing is on point 👌

[@Bob_Shy_132]

Sam. Watching your and crew uploads last week was a major treat! Some insane went down there this year!

[@EliMTB]

Bro your videos are amazing I really want to do videos as good as yuours🔥🔥

[@philipB31]

Absolute respect to you all - so sweet!

[@TheBarrettCompound]

Sick edit 🤘sick riding!

[@funkyduck4743]

5:46 that whole sequence is absolutely sick. This event is pure madness, can't wait for the final edit, knowing what Isted did on the 110. LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[@ManWalksDogs]

yeah love that one @ 5:52 - kind of a unseated, flipped ET to reverse ET (I'm sure someone's referred to pedalling in the air with reference to the Extra Terrestrial film) great pew-pew beats at that point too

[@DarkKnight0183]

Do not forget that he backflipped it

[@funkyduck4743]

@@DarkKnight0183 that's exactly what I was saying...

[@DarkKnight0183]

@@funkyduck4743 aha yes, didn't see you write "what" he did 😅😅. Sorry. Actually he isn't the only who did it, if I'm right Bienvenido also did it.

[@Fredstar2409]

This is sick keep it up

[@TweezerShred]

Great filming to whoever did it.

[@clelandgillette8812]

So good! Is there a rider list up anywhere?

[@Simcadepro]

bolly beats always on point

[@bhew7409]

Hell yeah 🔥

[@chimps4gimps]

Ever thought about building a roof over part of the landing? The take off lip would be pretty much blind as you enter and the sensation of speed would be insane.

[@burrosperdidos]

Stoked to see the ladies ripping it up, but how did they get away with not having a Darkfest haircut?

[@ManWalksDogs]

yeah should be getting the multi coloured dyes out at least for 2024 if they're understandably not keen on psycho hillbilly buzz cuts...🌈💇‍♀

[@DarkKnight0183]

Invite Bernard Kerr next time, the guy is such a madman for winning 3 Redbull Hardline's

[@slimpickle47]

Redonkulous 😮

[@gekkeopwielen]

sick #2

[@_BangerTV_]

puhhh!!!!

[@fabbike1805]

2023 c est une bonne session Sam

[@adingreyling5407]

loco mode unlocked

[@rutlandcitybikes9729]

Great angles and showing of the full view! Yet... Seeming a bit of ending with drama .?.?.? Are you showing the 110 next?????

[@chaconWOOOOOO]

🎉🎉🎉

[@rvoykin]

This is the first video I’ve seen of this course that really shows the size of the jumps. Well… All of the others have definitely not done them justice.

[@dillonpedals2179]

Hangover video lol? Where’s the video of the day before when you all are hitting the 110? I’ve seen the gram clips, but was hoping you would have posted some behind the scenes of you and the boys hitting that jump.

[@oliverqueen9232]

few drinks

[@daniellissenburgh1584]

Sam at what speed do you hit the 110?

[@Swainmtb1]

Yeh I’d love to know

[@nicholasjoubert1489]

The hairstyles tho😂

[@servidig483]

Time to do it on a dirt jumper then a bmx

[@lowvibe]

hell yeah! but wait a second...where are the good old double flips?? 😁

[@ludda42]

I think Isted did some

[@luis25_qi]

Dude 🎉🔥Im from germany so my english is Bad! But I Love you and I wish i could Ride on the darkfest ❤

[@Cmillzzzz]

Your English is very good!

[@MrMaxx._.]

POV man kommt aus Deutschland und bringt jedes Mal an wie schlecht das eigene Englisch doch sei, mach ich auch oft 😂

[@ManWalksDogs]

@@MrMaxx._. I get the feeling our Deutsch bruders just fishing for compliments...!😉

[@luis25_qi]

@@Cmillzzzz Haha

[@PAG70]

I can’t believe you didn’t show Tom Isted on there?

[@ianfurqueron5850]

I think these videos are edited so as not to take away from other riders' videos. Tom has a few great videos covering his awesome runs.

[@ManWalksDogs]

he was definitely shown in one of the long range shots, with a dumped three. but he'd had a big day the day before, had probably hit the beers like Sam said and maybe just wanted a chiller comedown sesh. his big stuff will obviously make the main edit in time...

[@Maxbmb123]

Please invite Brage Vestavik

[@nsbitchboy]

Who?

[@JakobShreds]

anyone knowing the name of the intro song? its so hype

[@jayfay5009]

What is the name of the beat used for the intros? if anyone knows please let me know!!! cheers

[@vovagyruk159]

👍

[@EscMoto]

Its a fest to enjoy and bond not where you compete if you want an awesome trick go somewhere else and also not easy to do on this kind of jumps and some of the best tricks are save for the sponsors or for last.

[@robertwalker841]

1:35 wooosh !

[@sebarivera5000]

HAHAHAHAHAAH 0:40

[@sgtbinko2739]

Is cam zink gonna get an invite? 😂😂

[@ted179]

Sam, when are you going to turn this into a competition.?

[@MrJesseLonge]

how do jump designers calculate how far to make jumps? is it like, maths?

[@TheShift1313]

So....whats the explanation behind all the haircuts....

[@leebrock8386]

Doesnt raw footage typically not have music over it or anything? lol

[@ashingashinga]

Where is Salido?

[@Tj-hw2ql]

The girls should get haircuts as well 😂

[@brx1921]

Bruh why call a Video raw and Then put Music over it the whole time 😐😐

[@ManWalksDogs]

good point. i enjoyed it but yeah, it's an edit not raw uncut footage

[@weedfreer]

Do you know that Sany digger you used to build the jumps? Did it happen to be supplied with the patented world famous branded Sany towels? I hear they're just the right thing to towel yourself down with following a hard day's work...so soft!

[@davegorie4762]

Matt jones didn't even touch the 110 waste of time inviting him

[@mick4659]

5:58 Silva? 👍😎
