This was the trip of a life time! Huge shout out to Eric Brown and the folks at Camp Woodward for letting us stay at camp for a week! When planning this trip, I hand picked some of Austin's finest BMX locals with a wide variety of riding styles. From Matt Nordstrom with technical manual lines, Jayden Mucha with massive airs, Ben Allen with insane rail rides, Casey Starling who is a monster on a bike, Dr. David with unique rocket manual combos, to our wild card Bailey Koenigs with a wild drop in and a 540 on a dirt jump!
Swampfest 2021 was this past weekend and each year it gets better and better. I drove up on Friday afternoon to see the Fast and Loose premiere, Trey Jones' new Vans video and hear the Nora Cup winners. Then that night we went insane. The next day we witnessed the greatest bmx event of all time!
Went over to my Lepak's back yard for a chill session and decided to film a couple clips!

My buddy Lee just got a new camera so we decided to put together a quick weekend edit, pretty stoked on the clips and surprised myself with the last one!
My buddy Frazier has been looking for a new camera because he has been filming and editing on an old android. So, I figured I could help him out. I told him to meet me at the skatepark for a session and had no idea about what I had planned.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
