Dark Fest is the most insane MTB event I've ever got the chance to ride. As a professional mountain bike athlete I've ridden all around the world but this event has the most crazy dirt jumps and features I've ever witnessed. Riding this event has been a dream come true. Especially seeing riders hit and trick the biggest MTB jumps in the world with double backflips, front flips, huge tricks and combos etc. The crashes have also been wild and I can't wait to see what the rest of the week brings. Enjoy watching my MTB freeride progression on my downhill bike, along with some sick MTB POV shots on the Insta360 X3 action camera.

So sick Matt! Beyond stoked for ya 🚀
dang whatsup red bull
I have a question is the Darkfest a Jam or is there a contest or what is it exactly?
Not a contest
@@iljafurer9229 thank you :)
@@AllroundStar7 fest/jam week. theres awards and prizes but not a specific contest.
Dark fest is one of the best mtb events that have ever happened in South Africa. So glad you got to come here and experience it Matt. I hope you had an amazing time. So proud of my country 🇿🇦
*one of the best mtb events that have ever happened in the world
It really couldn't happen anywhere else, would be too expensive
Africa is super cool. More people should travel there.
These jumps are incredible… what I would give to experience this 😩
I’m sure that insane air time feels amazing
I dont know if I'm the only one, but I sort of miss the Gopro videos, for some reason I like it more than insta360! Sick video tho!!
Everyone prefers his old vids over the 360 ones, sadly he's sold out so he has to do these robotic feeling garbage ads.
So sick! 360 footage isn’t great, so much better on GoPro 🙏
yea that's what I was thinking. The audio is pretty bad.
I agree
He's a sell out and sponsored by 360. He has to make these garbage robotic videos because he sold out.
I'm so hyped for Matt. God can you imagine the feeling of absolutely soaring through the air like this? What a legend.
I can only imagine. It makes me feel better that these riders are some of the best in the world and that the normal rider can't do it or don't have the opportunity to do it.
It's plain insane!!!
@@justsayin3600 yeah Matt is an absolute beast on the bike and even he was scared. That goes to show you how massive these truly are.
GoPro footage is so much better. Sick riding none the less. Killing it Matt!
I agree, my eyes get a bit iffy with the blurring/warping the insta360 does
Was it filmed with Insta360? Didn’t hear him mention it
@@Dononemaccaboy basically within the first minute of the video 01:00
@@iggywow I’m pretty sure that was sarcasm 😂😂
He can’t film on go pro because he is sponsored by insta
Absolutely NUTS! The bravery and skill to ride something like that is incredible!
I was just thinking, even if it's chest mounted, you need to somehow figure out how to upload these videos for VR!
Anyone else prefer GoPro footage over Insta 360? I don't know what's wrong with it but GoPros feel way better for MTB action
Yeah feels more normal and less distorted
And the audio on insta is terrible honestly
To my knowledge its because those cameras only use a 180 degree lens, regardless of which mode you're in. I mean GoPro is the same, these cameras only have one lens. But it's not a full bubble lens which means it requires less stitching and warp correction, PLUS you have to imagine GoPro has basically double the amount of software engineer RnD on fixing footage from bubble lenses.
Also, even if completely stitched correctly, the angle is a bit 'unnatural' and can feel uncomfortable for most average people to watch. It's just a bit too far off from what we're used to. That's why it should only be used for clips. You don't wanna watch 10-15 minutes of it or whatever. :)
YES! 360 cams feel robotic and programmed, there is no feeling of riding a bike like his old gopro vids. Complete garbage.
@@LunarTikOfficial Exactly!!
This is the Darkfest footage I have been waiting for - but can't say I am a fan of the 360 camera, especially when its mounted on the helmet.
Awww man, I can feel the joy through the screen. The adrenalin must have been through the roof dude! Airtime Central!
So proud of you matt, been watching darkfest for years wishing you could be there with the rest of the lads, so happy you're fit and healthy and smashing them fat jumps! only thing I'm sad about is ben not being there to see he's best mate conquering them jumps! Ps loving the new haircut! 😊😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG !! Matt, I can't even imagine the RUSH when taking off any of those ramps !! Or taking off period!! lolol... What a feeling that must be flying that far and that high !! WOW !! Thank God ,all of you got threw it without getting hurt !!
0:55 “Nervous, scared and excited” pretty much sums up mtb
Sick! Been waiting for this one ❤
Absolute blinder of an episode, bloody wonderful
It's like a fantastical dream! Your stoke , gratitude and humbleness just beamed through screen! Absolutely epic!
i showed my mum this video and now she loves Matt Jones more than she loves me
The initial reactions are/were priceless!! Most feeble humans will never have that feeling, we can only live vicariously...
I'm not scouting the internet for comparison, but I challenge anyone to give me the name of anyone else on a bike, having more fun, than Matt Jones... on a bike!!!
backflips with the 360 is next level sick!
Transition rider of the year:D Bmx, MTB and Darkfest
That longer one near the top is so terrifying, I can't even comprehend covering that much space in the air on a bike.
love the, "namaste" at 8:26 before the drop in... gonna meditate on that next time I try a 110 ft long jump!
Its little but mind boggling with that 360 camera, seeing “straight” jump from its view, but seeing also the “shadow” doing backflip at the same time.. 🤣🤟
When I watched Tom's video of the 110 yesterday I heard the "You've done it, YEAHHH" and thought "That was Matt Jones" hahaha.
I think you need to get Isted to the playground. He's absolutely killing it at the moment!
Sick video. Love the giggles the first time down the full track, spontaneous joy is infective. Well done.
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate the engineers who design these mountain bikes!
I doubt they're designed for this. Just keep a close eye for cracks.
You've progressed so much on big DH features so quickly.. its so impressive
i remember a couple years ago he was telling Sam at the cold compound setup Sam was like i got to go to dark fest and matt was like I never heard of that!!! glad you made it thru no doubts!!!
Been waiting for this video! Your laugh is contagious man😂😂😂 you’re a legend!
Those jumps are actually ridiculous 😵💫
Yes!!! So big and cool🔥🔥🔥
08:50 Seeing your backflip from watching the shadow was a cool shot :D
Congratulations on your first 🚀🚀
Sounds like Sam is enjoying himself.🤯🤯🤯
What an exciting video that was, just mind blowing. Well done, it must be an awesome experience.
So sick. Just legendary.
The stoke is so high! love it!
everything about this course is so sick! i'm so stoked youre finally there!
What a ride. Thanks Matt
What a video experience. You just entered the elite.
Love the honesty of this video and so soon after surgery ... what a boss. Great video. Thank you.
Sick Matt!! Well done!!!
It's so great being a part of your career. It's rare to see so much progression over the years. Keep sending it.
Nice Matt! I've watched this so many times. And with the flat pedals!
Been sitting here at work anxiously awaiting this video. Excellent.
Total respect Matt.
It’s really amazing to see you riding these kind of jumps
Unreal! Thank you Marin, for making a DH bike for Matt. Been a long time coming
Loving the sound of joy! 🤟😎🔥
I liked it while still in the intro..place is sikk AF!!!. ID LOVE TO RIDE IT!!!!
Smiling so hard for you with that last back flip!!!!!! I guess this is why you have that redbull helmet!!!!!
Awesome Work!!!!
That was sick!! Sense of speed and size probably doesnt even translate, but thats huuuge! First full run woke me up from a long and drowsy morning, so awesome🤙😂
Man, I love watching you guys ride. I could only dream of riding a bike like this and having the nerve to fly 90ft through the air off a jump!
Floating up there. Dude that Insta 360 cam was a great idea instead of go pro. One of your best videos
This footage is absolutley unreal!
Matt showing us how forgiving big trails can be. Few short landings still made it to the bottom
