Buddy is wearing vans, jeans and a generic tshirt. Is that helmet even carbon?!?! By all metrics I should ride faster and jump higher than him with my TLD matching red outfit, carbon full face (of course), red goggles, 510 freerider pros and red gloves. What the hell is going on? Is this AI?

Wow, this is a good watch. I meant to just watch a couple mins and I couldn't stop until the end. Humans are amazing. The footage and edit is fantastic. The skills and stoke of the women participating is a highlight for me. So awesome to see

Great to see Dylan Stark get props like that from the legend Matt MacDuff! Been following Dylan on IG for years and he's been through all kinds of hell with injuries over the years and now gets to travel all over and be in sick events like this.

Love the expression of community in this video. People at the top of their game, respecting and caring for the well being of their peers and genuinely wanting them to achieve their best athletic potential. Only in MTB have I seen this.

This is the best darkfest highlight ever! This shit really pumped me up in the middle of a 7 hours long train journey, first thing was riding after!

Hodgy is insane. Of all the things you can try on a 90 foot jump. He wants to be upside down with his feet miles behind the bike. Most people are doing just one of the things and getting squirrely.

Just amazing. To complete one top to bottom straight air run and not die would create a permanent smile that would freak people out for the rest of my life.

It's the Kurtis Downs super indian seatgrab where it looks like he's grabbing his foot too for me. Awesome pics. Can't wait to watch the vid after work

Truly amazing riding, but I'd love a 3 minute "highlight" edit.
