THE NIGHT HARVEST 2016

Presented by: Monster Energy

Supported by: Fox , Sony Xperia , Von Zipper , The Pole Yard and CFC Framework Contractors

With so many amazing riders, the crowd was treated to many tricks that had never been done in SA & a few that had not been done anywhere in Africa before. In BMX Kevin Peraza blew everyone’s minds with combos most only see in edits online & ended up taking first for the 2nd year in a row. In MTB Nick “Tricky Nicky” Clarke was throwing himself & his bike all over the place, showing fans that he has earned that nickname & took first place. Sam Reynolds fought threw a wrist injury to thrill the Night Harvest crowd for the 3rd year in a row to claim 3rd place. 2015’s Defending champion Matt MacDuff came in with a well earned 3rd place.

After riding the line of jumps, the boys moved over to the big trick jump for best trick. BMX & MTB together & just sending the most massive tricks they can. Nick Clarkd AKA”Tricky Nicky” fought hard & managed to tame the beast & landed a flip barspin to tailwhip, but that wasn’t enough to take it from Declan Brooks, who did a flip triple barspin.

The Trails Crew & Monster Energy really out did themselves this year & was by far the best Night Harvest to date!
