Darkfest 2024 Behind the build - Episode 3

Episode 3 of the build and we get the bikes out for some action! After rebuilding the Hellsend big line, its time to get warmed up for the event in a couple weeks! The whole Hellsend bike park is open for the day and we do some laps of the flow line, then ride the whoops on the downhill track! But thats where things don't go to plan... I sprained my ankle crashing on the berm, and am now in some real pain!! Currently I'm waiting for the scan results and x rays, I will keep you guys updated!

[@AW99017]

That Theo slow mo over the whoops was absolutely sick. Hope the ankles on Sam!

[@ryanlillywhite5320]

came here to say the same! that got me fired up to go and ride, that was PROPER!

[@Outerhaven13]

Hope its just a sprain, need to see you in action with the crew. 🤘

[@Londonshredsmtb]

5:04 anyone else see the guy eat it in the back 😂

[@rnburley]

hahaha

[@RidgeRiderMTB]

Totally missed it, good catch!

[@walkerclanadventures]

Dust dinner for sure 😅

[@franklee6301]

Production quality just keeps getting better. The Drone shots were fantastic and the footage of your OTB was spot on. It's awesome seeing you and your crew grow as producers.

[@BgRdDg40]

Theo is a sick rider to watch

[@guymtbski]

The production quality was off the charts in this. Hellsend compound looks mint. Hope the ankle doesn't lead to a repeat of 2019.

[@user-rv1jk3gj7t]

Theo has been killing it!

[@juliantschammer]

Those golden sun shots and drone footage are amazing art! Your riding speed is also awesome! Quick recovery with your ankle; hopefully it is nothing serious! Keep on the great work! I am always looking out for the next episode! Your job at Stellenbosch is just like an amazing vacation on a big, wild playground together with good buddies! I am jealous!

[@440_MTB]

The trails in Cape Town are super dry and dusty at the moment... I took a nasty spill in a berm a few days back and ended up in the ER for xrays on my ribcage... literally the " just that last little fun section" before heading home... thankfully no fractures, but the cartilage & muscles got damaged, and I'm out for the next 2 to 4 weeks. Sick video Sam! Hopefully the ankle isn't too bad! Will try my best to come check the show on the 10th of Feb.

[@scottk199]

Those slow mo's were fire!! Theo is so funny 🤣

[@10bienve10]

[@timgrant3742]

Brilliant. All around!! Hope it’s a sprain bud!

[@bigbird2451]

Theo is such a happy guy. What if we could get Theo and Frotha in the same video. I'm not sure if it would break, or at least profoundly chang the internet forever for the better.

[@jeremye9963]

[@kmaxxfagyan5740]

That riding edit feels like a segment! Hope your ankle isn't so bad Sam.

[@MrDino27]

This looks like last years

[@RidgeRiderMTB]

RIP Ankle :{

[@LuisGerstner]

11:09 holyyyy 🔥🔥 Is there MTB Shuttles available in Stellenbosch, to get to all those DH tracks? Or would you recommend coming with an Enduro just to be safe 🤔 Heal up man!!

[@dylanwyndhamjones]

There's a couple of shuttles, but they don't run all the time. I'd recommend an enduro bike as you'll have access to a variety of amazing trails. You should also be able to get away with doing some of the downhill stuff with the enduro too.

[@kracatoaTrail]

Stick a bush ❤😂

[@callumadamstein7716]

You guys know the liquidcity dnb party is the same day as dark fest ? So dnb send after a day on the dirt everyone ? 😮
