Dubbed by some as Mountain Bike Jesus, Kirt Voreis sends the Black Sage line on his trail bike with unholy steeze and skill.

Fast as hell, pure style! Another year in the books for Belgian freeride king Nico Vink. When he's not building and riding the most progressive courses the sport has ever witnessed, he's riding some epic freeride spots or going bananas in your local bike park doing crazy gaps and manual lines. ...

Check what the boys have been busy with down in South Africa preparing for the 2019 installment of DarkFEST - the jumps are growing even more and a new trick jump is being pilled. Filmed by: Thomas Sandell Hayden Brown

Manuals for days, massive gaps for months and why just worry about clearing huge jumps when you can add 2 or 3 of your friends in the air at the same time. Nico Vink's 2018 point of view was bonkers.

Straight from the mind of Cam Zink came the Biggest Little Fest, where twenty of the world's best riders gathered to tackle some of biggest jumps ever created – FEST style. Time for a little recap of the best moments, scrubs, hucks and all.

Another fest series banger - a compilation of insanity from the Royal Hills. Master shaper Nico Vink spent 3 weeks digging up the hills for the guys. A week of shredding and dialed weather with a packed squad resulted in some crazy footage!
Posted by iceman2058 on 7/18/2018 9:32 AM
Take a walk down the Royal Fest course with the creator himself, Nico Vink. He has outdone himself once again and riding is about to kick off!

Scrubs, whips, flips, blasting into orbit and pit bike hijinx. The Biggest Little Fest, hosted by Cam Zink in Reno was full of big moves and big laughs.

"Just flip it!" Tires are in the dirt at the BlackSage FEST Series event. The jumps look incredible and stoke is high.

Black Sage is back for 2018, and in true FEST style it's going to be bigger and better than last year. Kyle Jameson and Carson Storch have spent countless hours building and have put their bodies on the line to test out these monster hits.

The Fest series 2018 Kicks off in a heavy way down in Stellenbosch South Africa. Check out what the boys have dubbed 'The greatest line of all time!'

And it was no surprise to anyone that they went big! The Darkfest crew certainly don't do things by halves, the size of these jumps is unbelievable.

With the build now entering its final stages and the jumps being tweaked to perfection, the heavy hitters of freeride mountain biking have started arriving in town. What comes next is anyone's guess, but one thing is for sure, it's going to be awesome!
