Hello everyone welcome back to the darkfest build as you can see unfortunately I’m back home I’m not out there with the boys but I’m back here I’ve been resting and rehabbing my ankle for the last few days it’s getting better and better every day but unfortunately there are three ruptured

Ligaments in there some bone bruising a couple of small fractures so it is taking quite a long time to get better but hopefully in another week or so um I can be back out there and fingers crossed riding with everyone with all the best riders in the world for now the

Build is in safe hands Justin and dur absolutely smashing it the is looking incredible so make sure you check out the next build video which is going to be hosted by teao I’m looking forward to seeing that myself um but for now we decided to put together a load of

Awesome Clips some unseen interviews and put together this video from last year just to get super excited for this year and I hope you guys enjoy I’ll see you out there next week fingers cross riding and yeah enjoy cheers W wo w yes let’s go wow see dog perfect yes I knew [Applause]

It So it’s the best feeling in the world a lot of Blood Sweat and Tears especially a bit of blood from my arm actually went into building and testing the course for the first time and getting it right over all these years and now yeah giving other guys the opportunity I guess to

Come and do what they can do on it is is just Awesome Yes dude I’ve wanted to flip that jump for years yeah things really go zero to 100 in 2 minutes not even five you can be looking around and then everyone’s chilling and all of a sudden Tom and BMV are dropping into the 110 and launching

It for the first time it’s like no they don’t even tell anyone and suddenly they’re just flying off and everyone sees that and everyone wants to join in with the fun yes wao whoa [Applause] whoa no I can’t do that stuff [Applause] [Applause] that perfect brother yes dude still terrifying the energy is completely unmatched in this house of any event I’ve ever been to that’s what people take up to the course and that’s why I think you you see their absolute best their absolute Pinnacle which is what

We’ve always tried to cultivate and yeah still seems to be working but that’s totally down to the crew who come you know like darkfest will be nothing without these guys and girls coming and doing what they do and being as crazy as they are all cuz of [Applause] them

That is so nuts eh W big up to be in with taking a crash going back up first run almost 110 boom that’s it dude I give it I gave a lot huh I I scrubbed the road Gap pumped the in roller pumped and made it like 2 m

Deep maximum but we believe that it can be done and that is stronger than the fear and when you overcome your fear with that and then it rewards you with the with with that rush you know that’s that’s something nothing can give you the Same the guys are just shredding the 110 what the hell sick blown D that’s that’s the most ridiculous airtime feeling ever like it’s not describable as if you had no bik skill at all because you didn’t need it cuz it everything it did everything for You I don’t want to really say it but it’s relatively easy no it just completely do it for you it’s oh yeah for sure it’s better than 90 even fully pinned I have to go down and celebrate Ramsey it bro is that the best thing ever or what

This is insane how can it be that Perfect [ __ ] A D like everyone was just like throwing down heavy so I got all inspired and repped back here it was a little little sketchy I like landed back wheel and deep and just like grabbed a handful of back break I managed to land it and then

Got another one after so I’m so stoked but man I’ve done some SK stuff [Applause] [Laughter] today good [Applause] boy Oh thank you yo w what the [ __ ] wo Woohoo y it’s hopes and dreams right there coming to darkfest has been honestly like one of those things that you’ve thought about for so long and then showing up here and seeing how big it actually is the speed you have is absolutely mind-blowing it’s literally a real life roller coaster that you’re in

Control of yeah my expectation with tricks was uh I really put a lot of pressure on myself to actually uh bring a lot of moto tricks that I’ve kind of always had the thought of that it might work and it could work it’s just you need jumps that big to have that much

Time and just finding these jumps in itself is unreal and it’s unlocked so many tricks that I honestly came here not even thinking that I was going to get that far down a trick list but it brings so much fear but at the same time it’s like a satisfying like slow motion

Video when you’re in there doing it literally the biggest course that can swallow you alive and just finally you know tame in it Let’s go n n N he my let go
