Not since the UGP Roots Jams have so many BMX riders ascended on central Florida like they did this past weekend for the 2018 Florideah Swamp Fest. Astatula, Florida, was the place to be this weekend, with the promise of lots of fun, plenty of sketchiness on and off the bikes, and an escape from the winter weather. Here's a highlight video featuring all the action from the ridiculously sketchy and unpredictable ramps to the perfect dirt jumps (courtesy of Ryan Herbach and Cody Diggs), to the 64 foot long Subrosa Swamp Rail, and the massive Scotty Cranmer Best Trick jump. Hats off to Trey Jones and everyone else who helped make this event possible.
Swimming ahead. 2018 FLORIDEAH SWAMP FEST - DIRT SESSION.
The 2018 Florideah Swamp Fest is shaping up to be one hell of an event—lots of pallets, water pits, and more sketchiness than you can even imagine. Here's Trey Jones giving us the walkthrough of the street / ramp area, the dirt jumps, the Scotty Cranmer best trick jump, and of course the Subrosa rail across water. We've also got some shredding courtesy of the GT team, Matt Beringer, Alex Duleba, and more...
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
