Cam Zink

The Caminal was posting up POV vids all weekend, clearly stoked off the jumps and feeding off the other riders there.

Following @andreulacondeguy is the best. Flip nac for the cani-cani-cani-canimal – Filming for our movie, "Run It" with @sageoriginals #monsterenergy #darkfest

Ethan Nell

It’s hard to believe they call this a ‘small’ line.

Bails

A few offs are inevitable when you’re going that big. It seems like everyone escaped the weekend unscathed though!

Bailing is not so bad, if you have a killer view!

The one who falls and gets up is so much stronger then than the one who never fell. (Photo edit @z0l0ren ) @puredarkness_ @thetrailpark @thetrailscrew #puredarkness #monterenergy #falling #gotbackupagain #thetrailpark #DarkFest @instagram_sa @monsterenergy @igersgardenroute #igersgardenroute
