[@Neighbor618]

[@andrewmorrison8065]

[@CranberryUTIMichaelJackson]

[@oldmanstumpie1061]

[@Alkornoke_bikepark]

What a great place!🤠🚀

[@Drum5t1k]

Yo, awesome vid, can’t wait to see u guys at darkfest

[@Shredjunky]

That View is Really Amazing and I can't wait to see the Dark Fest...Nice

[@markpeterson8978]

I am so excited for Dadrkfest 2024! This event has taken the top spot for Radical Events in my Book. Redbull Rampage has become. . . I don't know how to say politely . . Not the premier event that it once was. It is time for the new to usher out the old. I predict that this years Darkfest will cement its self as the big dog on the block! Well good Sam! Cheers - M

[@SamReynolds26]

thanks man! Darkfest is definitely for the riders!

[@guymtbski]

I didn't realize you had to organize everything from digging to prizes and even the branding. SA actually has quite a bit of riding by the looks of it - lots of trails to review :D

[@SamReynolds26]

A lot going on behind the scenes! And you’re right. So many good trails for you to review! You’d struggle to be grumpy out here though!

[@jn1083]

What a stellar crew

[@thisis.Le0T]

Banger 🔥

[@tbc_mtb]

Never thought I'd see something I could ride in a dark fest video. Up the blues!

[@SamReynolds26]

haha its a rad trail!

[@tbc_mtb]

@@SamReynolds26 looks so good!

[@kracatoaTrail]

The scooby gang, you resolv the mystery how big jump can be

[@HeymynameisMitch]

the trail in the end, what a dream

[@SamReynolds26]

unreal trail!

[@JakeWatsonMTB]

Looking forward to it !

[@mosiboy]

Soooo so sick !

[@gravitytester1963]

I love holiday season! Thanksgiving, Christmas, new years and DARKFEST🎉 As usual, I'll be watching ALL your videos leading up to the big event! Can't wait to see who's been invited!

[@SamReynolds26]

just watch until the end of the video and youll see 😂

[@ThomasSandell_]

Yess hype is real 🎉

[@roncri]

Darkfest is one of my favorite events. So glad to see that the woman will be returning again.

[@l33t1ee7]

Those flow trails look 🔥

[@mrbbqcraig]

Hats well OFF to the videographer, an awesome vid dude 🤟😎 This is the kind of content we wanna see, details of the the epic build up for THE MOST AMAZING mtb event of the year... Cheers to all the dudes there 🤟✨

[@SamReynolds26]

[@cutters74]

Can’t wait for the first hits at DarkFest. The flow trail ride looks epic - Great music choice Sam 💯🔥😎

[@SamReynolds26]

Cheers!

[@bian5a]

[@lowvibe]

[@tonyrgnash]

Bit earlier in the year than usual but hey who's complaining. Awesome flowy tracks at the end there...hella jealous. Enjoy...bring on ep3 and more

[@ftrujillomunizaga]

Me, you, pink eye... 🤣

[@gravity.gourmet]

Imagine you fly to southafrica to hit 110ft jumps and get knocked out by an antilope on a chill evening ride 😂😂

[@A.Akbar1983]

Or worsed.... Got bit by a snake when trail building

[@jaythestreetpreacher6123]

Go big or go home boys 🔥

[@D34dlyTidsy]

Looks sick

[@ΣπύροςΧάντος]

[@SamReynolds26]

haha good eyes! Wait for the next video!

[@igorotshred735]

new year 🎊 new dark fest 🤘 new style of haircuts😂😂

[@SamReynolds26]

haha cant wait to see the trims

[@kulganspipe]

Epic indeed

[@ollie2052000]

This will be the hottest year ever recorded. Gonna be hot out there.

[@enthusigasmOSRS]

Riders List looks littt

[@Mtber-leo]

Hi sam someday I wish I could ride at this level ❤❤

[@kroozctrl6284]

It would be cool if you could get Hasie to do Limited edition Jersies for all the athletes

[@tobiasdahlstrom5790]

I’m missing the Swedes but stoked for Ice T. None of them seems to be into theses really huge jumps although Emil did rampage this year and Max seems to be able to ride most everything. Me sitting inside looking out, sunny but -28 so no slopestyle for me today (skiis)

[@frantisekcech8207]

Nice!

[@downhilldad1807]

Sam, your music that you play alongside your videos are always great and super chill. Is there a particular playlist you choose from? Or do you look for a particular genre when you try to find something to play alongside your footage?

[@apollocpt7629]

Ahhh yes

[@fabbike1805]

a bientôt bon shap

[@peddlinpaul6081]

Dylan StarkFest 👌

[@ΣπύροςΧάντος]

you should add an american pool table. just fax

[@gregbarber2492]

So excited for Darkfest again. By the way. You saying the haircut award will be biggest berk award, did you know that came from rhyming slang….. Berkeley Hunt……. So you may want to rethink that lol

[@SamReynolds26]

I never knew that 😂 makes it even better actually

[@Crack3nte_]

Yeah first❤

[@jamesblack6214]

Get me to South Africa now

[@mtbalpinecounty]

💪

[@harrylucas3415]

so put a water system on digger arm to wet scoop as u shape

[@LeeFluff]

It’s still amazes me that nobody is providing 3-D models of these sites so that we can see them in all of their glory. Come on guys get out there and do some gridded photography capture using something like pix4D and a DJI drone. Send me the photos and I will model them for you!

[@jackmitchell.1320]

You need matt and jamie to Build it 😂

[@perspectivedetective2703]

monster energy 666

[@kmaxxfagyan5740]

Is it a private land? A private bike park? So cool!

[@SamReynolds26]

Pretty much yeah

[@bigbird2451]

From the thumbnail, I thought that you were building wooden berms at Dark Fest. Guess not.

[@kristian6622]

Sam can you send me your liquid DnB playlist please? Loving the work!

[@Twowheeledchaos]

Y’all need a wrist on that machine yo

[@wernervandermerwe8422]

now go to spice route paarl and get a biltong platter to taste gemsbok biltong 😉

[@SamReynolds26]

Oh yeah we went a few years ago, it’s mega!

[@olik136]

Where can you actually watch the event? I watch the behind the scenes videos on this channel every day- but I have no clue where the actual event is shown.

[@digbysirchickentf2315]

Should give the 1000 euros to the biggest crash. Would suck to come second in the bad haircut comp.

[@SamReynolds26]

😂😂😂 yeah second place in the bad haircut comp is never a good place to be

[@sama5946]

Why don’t you guys use concreting pool trowels?

[@Ppete912]

I am sure you have very good reasons why Darkfest is earlier this year. But for me it usually marks the end of snow sports and biking season. Too early this year 😅😭

[@imspecialized9]

CA needs to get some ND filters

[@ChrisDearing]

How did Sam become Mr Darkfest?

[@SamReynolds26]

I have been making the event for 7 years now! What started at pure darkness turned into what it is now

[@ChrisDearing]

@@SamReynolds26 maybe new video idea: Evolution of DarkFest

[@saltyconvict7000]

The older land cruisers are the titts off-road

[@SamReynolds26]

Almost unbeatable! Only by the old Range Rover actually

[@Brookwebster-thedream]

Would you guys mind if I was to mimic a smaller version in Tassie. I just bought land and to recreate darkest at a miniature scale in Aus would be a dream @samreynolds

[@SamReynolds26]

Please do!
