Trey Jones' & crew's Swampfest 2024 (#8)


Here's the Dig BMX intro video to Swampfest 2024 above, the build.  Pirate ship halfpipe and a full concrete bowl? No problem.  And a whole bunch of other stuff.  It's flat out amazing how much stuff they build for this event.  It looks amazing.  Then comes a weekend of fire, bikes, and mayhem, to quote one of the former FBM slogans.  As an Old School Has Been BMX industry geezer and blogger, far outside the loop these days, I'm just going to compile links to most of the best videos here.  Watch one, watch 'em all, do what you want.  Looks like another crazy fun time at Swampfest 2024.  

Video editor tip (from a guy who made BMX videos back in the Dark Ages of S-VHS/Hi8)- If you put people's names in yellow, it shows up better on almost any background.  Just sayin'.

Swampfest Unclicked- Our BMX- 83 minute podcast on the whole Swampfest series- 2/2024

Our BMX Day Zero- Swampfest 2024 (practice day- Cameo by Old Schooler John Paul Rogers who has an actual alligator to cook.  How'd the gator bar-B-Q turn out?)  


Bloom BMX- Swampfest- Waldo, Florida- 2024- 17:32- I think this is my favorite video yet.  While the guys were shooting Roman candles, lighting shit on fire, and shooting phone video, the Bloom crew women were actually riding the trails.  Little interviews with Robbie Morales and Chris Moeller, and different angle of the mayhem with really funny commentary throughout.  All that's missing from this edit is L7's "Everglade" playing in the background.  Oh, and don't grab a woman's ass at Swampfest.  










Our BMX- Swampfest 2024- Bowl Jam- They built a cool permanent (?) concrete bowl for this event
