Adventures are often glorified as wild missions to exotic places, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. The Colorado River and its surrounding terrain is a natural wonder not far from Joey’s house and the perfect place to escape on a solo, multi-day bike rafting trip. There’s no better way to step back from the whirlwind of daily life than by sleeping under the stars.
We followed the MTB freerider Sam Reynolds and his friends as they built and hit the biggest jumps on the planet: the Fest series. The Fest Series is the only series of Freeride MTB events created by the riders, for the riders.
The DarkFest is part of the Fest series events and is built by Sam Reynolds, Nico Vink and Clemens Kaudela in South Africa. The venue is featuring one of the biggest jumps ever seen, along with one of the highest and scariest roll-in; enough to make the event even more crazy!
