Our full video documenting the mayhem that was 2024's Swampfest. Shout-out to Trey, Dave, Marcel, Jabe and the whole crew for going above and beyond to make sure rain didn't put a damper on the final day of festivities.
The beauty of BMX exists in the randomness of it all… when riders from different cultures and far away countries come together to become friends who in turn feel like family. A handful of the BSD crew; Alex Donnachie, Sam Jones, Antonio Smallwood and Guy Scroggie happened to be in Budapest at the same time as this STRT LF jam last Saturday, August 26th.
The third Rumble In Richmond went down on a fine June Saturday, and continued the no-holds barred, singe-set dirt jump comp held on the infield of the BMX track in Richmond, Virginia. The resulting day was non-stop positive vibes, and riders pedaling their ass off and straight-up sending it over the 21-foot long, head-high set of doubles. Watch and be entertained, stunned and inspired at the same time by everyone who participated.
BSD brought out a whole load of their crew to join everyone else in celebrating 20 years of Unit23 skatepark. Needless to say, this was an amazing day and so much went down we had to split it into multiple videos. Now you can see all the rest of the action, in between the riding. From curved wallride clotheslines to Corey Walsh at mach-10, things get wild. Massive thanks again to BSD and Unit23 for everything they do.
NY's Meseroll shop took a trip down to the Caribbean paradise of Puerto Rico in the dead of NYC winter, and despite the first few very rainy days, Dan Foley, Sean Ricany, Russ Barone, Seamus Mckeon, shop owner Andrew York, and late arrival Matt Miller and experienced island living at its finest. Here's a little BTS look in to the week.
Manchester was the host for the DUB X BNBNGMCR jam and she sure supplied the goods. Watch some highlights from the day courtesy of Lui Carrasco.
Break out the popcorn—20 minutes worth of 2022 Swampfest madness is hitting your screen. The best jam/shitshow in BMX went down in Wildwood, Florida, and despite a day of downpours, nothing held back the 48 hours of riding and raging. No words can do Swampfest justice; you have to live it to truly understand. Hopefully this glimpse into the weekend will help, though. Huge shout-out to Trey Jones and the crew for putting on yet another one for the books.
You can always rely on Cinema's Chad Kerley, Nathan Williams, Garrett Reynolds, Dakota Roche, and Corey Martinez to produce the goods, and their latest video "Round It Out' was another banger. Sit back and enjoy 28 minutes of bonus footage, behind-the-scenes, crashes and more from the dream team.
The third and final instalment of Whoops behind-the-scenes, featuring all the unseen goodness from Trent Lutzke's time with Hobie Doan, Brett Silva, Julian Arteaga, Curly Mayne, Jared Duncan, and Keaton Harris. What a blast this trip was!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
