When we discussed the coverage for this year's Florideah Swampfest with Swamp Daddy, ​Trey Jones, he said he thought it would be cool do a classic Props style report, so we shipped out DIG's Peter Adam to follow Steve Crandall on the mic, with filming help from Stew Johnson and Lisa Ballard, and they were sent head first into the carnage.
For Swampfest 2019, we sent Aaron Ross to be our man on the ground. We armed him with a microphone and set him loose in the Swamp! This event provides plenty of entertainment, so sit back and enjoy various interviews, assorted riding and general craziness.
OOOOOOOOoooooohhhh boy. Warm swamp water and bike tricks. All the rage this year at swampfest 2019. Hey Trey, Thanks. Hey Florida, Thanks. Hey everyone that did crazy stuff so I could make a video about it, Thanks. - @steadyshotdon
Swampfest is one of a kind and true to Bmx. Shout out to Trey Jones and his crew for everything they did this weekend to bring BMX together.
Pure chaos at Trey Jones' Swampfest 2019. What a scene!
The third Swampfest has come and gone! Thanks to Trey Jones and Scotty Cranmer for all the hard work. Hats off to all the builders and diggers. Bmx needed this event and I will 100% be back again in 2020.....

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
