Week One at the Garden route trail park and digging has started.

This year the Sam and Dyl are joined by Clemens Kaudela and Nico Vink two excavator aficionado's. Over the next 3 weeks they will be building the darkest jumps of all time in preparation for Dark Fest.

We've already moved a lot of earth, patching up the jumps and building new lines. All digging sessions end with a trip to the black snake river.
