2018 FloriDeah Swampfest – Just Send It

February 17, 2018

Get a look at what went down during a little practice session on the massive double for the FloriDeah Swampfest Best Trick…

For the FloriDeah Swampfest, Scotty Cranmer wanted to do a rad event, so he had some kickers build and a dirt landing setup over a fence for a best trick contest. Some of the guys decided to give the setup a test and get a little practice in and Ride BMX whipped up this raw cut from it. Check out what went down and get ready for the madness in the actual contest.

“The 2018 Florideah Swamp Fest Scotty Cranmer Best Trick jump was open for some test runs and the likes of Cory Nastazio, Leandro Moreira, Victor Behm, Chris Dolye, and more gave it some goes. The main event is later today, but for now here the dudes shredding one massive jump, with a sandy run up, in 85 degrees with no shade… send it old school style.” – Ride BMX

2018 FloriDeah Swampfest Dirt Session

February 17, 2018

Watch the FloriDeah Swampfest trails get put to good use…

The FloriDeah Swampfest kicked off yesterday and riders from all over the world have been rolling in for the weekend that is bound to be pure madness. Yesterday, the dirt jumps got a heavy session from some of the best dirt riders in the world like Leandro Moreira, to Pros and AMs and random dudes that are going to need a full team of lawyers after some of the cases that went down. Here’s a look at some of the action courtesy of Ride BMX. The water pits are absolute gold.

“What would a Swamp Fest be without water? Thanks to Cody Diggs’ ambitious shovel work, water hazards are ever present along the first few more technical jumps in the trails—pretty much ensuring that anyone who strays off course is taking a dip. A few riders got drenched, but many more kept it high and dry—including the likes of Leandro Moreira, Lukas and Nathan Halahan, Van Homan, Mark Burnett, Matt Ray, Mike Hoder, and more… This was just a casual session and I’m sure with today being the official Swamp Fest, it’s going to get way more crazy out there.” – Ride BMX

February 16, 2018

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier than last years FloriDeah Swampfest… Trey Jones shows you what he cooked up for this year!

The guys at Ride BMX got down to Florida a little early to get a sneak preview of the FloriDeah Swampfest course that Trey Jones and crew cooked up. As expected, things are sketchy, hilarious and look amazing to ride. Whether it’s the deep water pits to keep the guys from going off the side of the trails to the mudpit for the longest Subrosa Street Rail jam, flat track race and more… Everything looks awesome. Hit play and take the tour with Trey! Things are going to get crazy down in Florida this weekend.

“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… ” – Ride BMX

When you see Erik Elstran’s name pop up, you know you’re in for a treat…

If there’s one guy who never fails to blow our minds every time we see him ride, it’s Erik Elstran! Every time he gets on his bike, he’s getting real creative and having a ton of fun doing it. Here’s a short but sweet video that’s proof that he is always doing some amazing things, since he cooked up all of these tricks in a single session! So rad.

“When it comes to Erik Elstran’s riding, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected—and that it’ll be awesome. While on a recent trip to SoCal with the Madera team, Erik fired out five totally unorthodox clips at a very ordinary skate plaza.

Drop The Pin – Stephan August

Stephan August dropped a random pin on the map and then proceeded to see what he could find for spots.

If you ever said you can’t find somewhere to ride, you might not be making as little effort as possible! Drop a pin on your Google Maps and see what you can find. I guess that only applies to people living in more urban areas, but still! Stephan August dropped a pin and ended up finding plenty of stuff to cruise and stack clips on for this video!
