The madness that is Swampfest returns to Waldo, Florida, and we got some insight into the entire course with Florida shredder and Swampfest build crew member Marcel Andersen, as well as some of the wild riding already going down before it even started.
The mayhem continues at 2025 Swampfest, this time with the GNARBQ Log Ride, OJ Wild Ride, Independent Swamp Rail and Monster Bowl Jam. Playing in the mud never looked more entertaining.
That real raw Animal type shit.
