The wait is over—DARKFEST 2025 has officially been unlocked. After weeks of shaping dirt and dreaming big, the time finally came to ride the full course… and it’s wilder than anyone imagined.
With riders set to arrive, freeride legend Sam Reynolds, alongside Theo Erlangsen, Duran Van Eeden, Alessio Tonoli, and Dylan Lamb, decided it was now or never to test the entire line. The verdict?
“It works… and it works absolutely!”

Duran didn’t hesitate—two weeks of build time, five seconds of inspection, and he was straight in.
“Look at that beautiful tyre mark. What a build, man. Perfect.”
Sam Raynolds shouted
Despite slick lips and morning chill, the line was rolling fast.
“I didn’t want to pump, first go hitting it… still got over it,”.
Sam Reynolds added
And with each drop, the confidence grew.
“The course just crawls you into it—smooth like butter.”
Tensions spiked around the quarter pipe and rocket jumps, where even the most seasoned riders felt a rush of doubt.
“You’re not gonna get better in the next five minutes, all you do is stare and get more worried,”.

But once the wheels dropped in—“Bosh. That’s it. Perfect.”
Crashes, close calls, flat landings, and even buzzed pants didn’t stop the momentum. One by one, the boys sent it from top to bottom, finishing the test run with hoarse screams and ankle pain—and huge smiles.
“It’s been years watching this on YouTube. Hitting it in real life… it’s everything you hoped for.”
one rider said, breathless
The DARKFEST 2025 line is no joke. It’s massive. It’s terrifying. And it’s absolutely rideable. Now that the full course has been conquered, it’s officially on. Let the madness begin.
