Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go so it’s the next day we’re back up at the top so it’s the next day we’re back up at the top about to get some sessioning in surprisingly the wind is

Amazing today we did have some rain so hopefully that’s just kind of calmed everything down a bit um hopefully it stays fingers cross I’m just waiting for hodi to stomp up the hill and we get a little lap on the go caraston just done

A full pull by the look of it which is pretty sick yeah let’s get some biking in any excuse to ride here is the best so yeah let’s do some laps now it’s red [ __ ] me then [ __ ] you Bo You [Applause] oh my [Applause] God SI let’s go for a bike ride Mate yeah h b to wake up hey you guys coming trer no I’m joining yeah yeah you can boys boys [Applause] yeah yeah [Applause] [Applause] hell yeah oh I went like 110 on the 90 oh yeah you can send it pretty deep yeah I went to fly on the step up too oh man I felt great there we go that’s what I wanted is that the first one yeah

Yes yeah I got the like Ro and I was like like sandwich just turn your brain off yeah work I gave it a push just to be safe I went so deep you the landing so long you like you’d rather go 10 15 ft long than 10 ft short def [ __ ] I’m

Scared you can put a setting where we doing it yeah get it my Bruce you got this [ __ ] you good you good good well that’s the end of my darkfest experience luckily I’ve got my hardil with me so I can go R the dirt jumps but broke my bike bit of

A shame got like that bike yeah hope you guys have enjoyed this video hopefully Carson’s all good I feel absolutely to be fair it’s probably the best way to describe it thought I’d had it felt good we were over jump in the 90 so thought the wind

Was pretty perfect so we thought we’ll give it a good go and didn’t give it a good go enough sadly well hopefully Carson’s all good fingers crossed yeah let’s see what the Day brings so that was quite an intense morning luckily I’m perfectly fine and luckily Carson is perfectly fine somehow

He’s got a bit of a concussion but luckily nothing broken a very sprained ankle it’s about as worst as it got the only issues I had is I ditched my bike and it landed straight St in the back of the 110 at 60 km/ hour so best practice

Right now is to change the frame up luckily uh giant South Africa had a 2015 Giant Glory still sat on the Shelf so I managed to get hold of that one within the same day and I’ve got this one built up now yeah it’s a little bit different

It’s a size small um just a little bit different to what I had before but it’s long enough to deal with you I wouldn’t be trusting my uh old bike that way um definitely to cutch big impact so best practice change it up luckily I can get

Hold of this one rapidly enough that we can keep keep the party happening and uh get back to some biking so yeah let’s go drop in do some jumps all right see how it works that’s running slow sounds quiet at least yeah so seems to be

Right it’s only way to test it is hit some really big drops you just going to do these then think so well shut was down there I don’t want to walk back up behind you mate wow That’s running slow it doesn’t B well for up there no not at all so I wouldn’t worry too much about those other ones you think no one’s going to hit the 110 I wouldn’t think so I wouldn’t be wanting to do it today CU I was break us

There and case the rocket yeah same Oh this thing’s tiny nice work [Applause] there Nice For not going to lie my motivations to ride this morning are very very low I’m just very tired so head back down get something to eat try and sleep yeah hopefully we see you we get a good session on the go again oh just the next day they only did a couple

Runs yesterday I was just so tired and quite a stressful day at the end but we’re back up again the conditions are prime we got a bit of cloud cover and it is Tailwind so definitely come up short on things which is more preferable than coming up short we’d rather go long all

Day long so yeah let’s get up and do some more laps for the boys can I leave yeah lead right buddy on man it off yeser yes Dylan that was sick I went so deep on the hip I thought I was you went deep on everything holy [ __ ] I kind D it yeah all right coming yeah you w wow I went deep holy Wo Yo W yeah [Applause] Tom oh nah Oh cool I take that one off scary little 450 but seemed to work lovely wanted to do that since day one of comeing here oh three four years ago stoked all right let’s go to some more biking yeah yeah boys have It Yeah Boy what the [ __ ] when yeah on the hip as well yes yes boy oh that drop was terrifying then yeah I was like oo yes dude I went deep on the flip I went 11 same thank you bro there right is my girl am I on you’re on am I

On yeah you’re you’re rashing rashing away you want to lead yep I said Dr yeah baby let’s do it straight on in yeah yeah Let’s go yeah yeah py I me came in so much nicer into the 90 then with that flip yeah oh I I was just in the landing there yeah same but it felt better though oh yeah I thought been the last for the first time yes I

Seen you go up and I just copied what you do just work yeah yeah it’s just a big dirt jump is it it’s so good yeah yeah yeah Rock see you down there boys oh yeah can’t see the lip we have to wait a little bit cuz that is

Blinding so here we go last full riding day here at darkfest it’s public day as well there be loads of people around screaming and shouting always apologize about the dodging music in the backgrounds but it’s what what it is yeah annoy up very early and old Mr the

Sun over here is being very annoying cuz it’s directly in line with some of the jumps so you can’t really see the takeoffs but hopefully once he gets a bit higher in the sky we’ll be on the wind is absolutely perfect so fingers crossed we can get some riding done

We’ll be sick b a smaller crew now cuz quite a lot of people have left had other obligations they had to go and do but sure we get good session with the boys and girls so yeah let’s do this oh my God can’t see that one save your life [Applause] wow it’s quite Blinding still can’t see anything Oh I know it’s very rinse and repeat for you guys a lot of Threes a lot of flat spins but they’re pretty safe on these jumps but still take a deep breath every time we drop in cuz it is scary you go first I don’t care yeah [Applause] he [Applause] Hey yeah BM the toop is fine the rocket [ __ ] this one I I fled the last one it felt fine

  1. It goes to show how useful "being able to crash" is for the top slopestyle guys. If that was me, I would have died 7 or 8 times!

    Also shout out to Giant for the same day replacement! A big sponsor to have that 😅

  2. Not only are you one of the best out there, you have to be one of the top best at bailing and crashing as well!!! lots of people dont realize that is a super important skill!!!

  3. If that was the biggest crash you've ever had, you lead a charmed life my man. Better to break your bike than yourself!

  4. Awesome riding! I'm glad you and Carson came away from missing the 110' pretty much unscathed. Can't say the same for both your bikes from the sound of it. By day 2 on the Giant small you were keeping your speed fine. Or it was just the help of the tail wind. BTW, Is anyone riding 26"

  5. Dope follow cam footage with Dylan! Loved seeing how stoked he was after his first top to bottom

  6. I want to give kudos to the cameraman at 21:08 and earlier–riders passing him very close and very fast and he has his back to them and doesn't even seem to flinch. Must have ice in his veins.

  7. So is that a world-record bail? Is it a tie or did Carson fly just a bit further than you did?

  8. Thanks for putting this video together how you have. So good to see the progression afterwards. Thank goodness you managed to walk away and Carson is on the mend. Such an insight …. thanks

  9. Guy really crashed on the world biggest jump and got right back up and said “Welp that kind of sucks my bike is toast I kind of like that bike” and continues to ride

  10. not to hate or anything but it doesnt look like you got hurt? just looks like you dumped the bike and then slid onto the jump but thats just my opinion
