Welcome back to the bike-and-board freak show known as Swampfest. No rules and no regard for safety. This year's plywood playground proved to be the best yet. Just ask Greyson. —Tim Aguilar

First spooky sight, a graffiti-free funhouse conceived and built by Trey Jones. This big top was the main attraction and it got plenty of action

Straight off the plane, Kevin goes upside down

Greyson soars FSO over the iris. We don’t need no masonite

The Florida heat proved to be a worthy opponent. Greyson leaves his shirt behind to 5-0 the rail

Trey, can you move the excavator for us? Kowalski busts a boneless first try

Yam stretches a stalefish

Okay, maybe we do need a little masonite. Work smarter not harder

Greyson gives it a practice flip before for the big day

Liam breaks in the setback ledge for Greyson

Yep, it works. Greyson nosepicks because he can

Grace Marhoefer hits the angle-iron grinder

Where’s the vert?! Raph Ueda strays from his ramp roots for a single-gloved Suski

Kieran Woolley crosses on the wild side

A random thought and some screws made Liam’s crook into the bank possible

Kevin hangs onto a stale where Greyson dared

Stickers are up and Kieran plays the levels

Yam approves of Trey’s front blunt on the spike

Puttin’ her mark on the plywood, Grace pulls back into the smooth stuff

If there’s a channel, Greyson will cross. Lipslide over an upgraded doorway

Next day, Gravedigger's worried about what's to come

Dalton gets straight to it. Noseslide out the maw

Helmeted girls and graffiti start to appear. We must be getting close to the zero hour

Ben forgot his sunglasses, but the swamp provides a floor score

Here we go …

It didn't take long for the circus to start

I didn't like that moped anyway

Banana hammock or butt pads? Ed Duff and the Instagram guy compare cheek strategies

Everyone off the deck! Ruby wants to skate the big quarter. Fastplant straight to Gregson’s timeline

Jordan Thackeray, FSA bash on the BBL

Grace feeds the soul with a chicken wing

Jake also grabs behind the knee on the other side of the tent. Hopefully someone Airdropped him that clip

Greyson wants to start a petition to rename this as the G-ollie. Think Kieran would sign it?

Union break for the green team

“One more try!” The Citi Bike Boy took some slams in the swamp then got into a scuffle at Kona on his way home. Check the feed

Meet me at the doorway!

When people say “spin it to win it,” are they talkin’ about Kieran cookin’ an eggplant revert?

Yote, back boneless to fakie off the back wall

Ben got his back with a rocket block

What is going down in the street section? A very exposed Ed Duff gets kinky

Straight to the grill for a team lunch

What’s happening under the tent? Gym-rat shit

You seen that FA part?! Jason Borosky made it out for a few mellow backflips

Put down that Twisted Tea, Gravette. The first event is starting!

Kanaan sparks it off with an FSTS

Mia holds steady hops on the rail with her scooter because why the fuck not?

No-hand backflip in the U pipe

Practice, perfection, you know that old saying. Greyson delivers for the crowd

After the pipe, he keeps it going with a huge FSO all the way back

Scooter kid got Greyson’s back with one of these

Down rail in Florida? Kanaan can crook it

Back Smith for the people

BOO!

Looks like the pit’s going before the bands even on stage

A closer look at said pit

Couple bucks at the scrap yard, not bad!

Pig squeals into the mic

All alt girlies, report to stage right

This bass player reminded me of a rodent with a ski mask. Maybe he heard my internal dialogue and that's why he pushed me off stage

The next band’s bass player was in a better mood. Let’s carry this vibe through the weekend

First scare of the last day

Ben does a disaster in the cut

Kieran FSI, for the love

I think this might be the first girl on rollerskates at Swampfest. Let’s see if we can up those numbers next year

Chilling by the pool

Floating down the swamp, ready for the Independent rail jam

Kanaan took a few slams. But he still handled the drop-down rail

Sweet victory!

Bitter defeat. I have my money on Kyle Walsh next year

It’s not like those Bronsons could get any wetter

Careful out there!

You only need 100cc’s to be like Jesus

Time for the bowl jam! Dalton’s dressed for success

Liam takes another route all the way off the end

After the crowd moved on, Kevin found a willing participant for this danger-zone front disaster. Don’t worry, this guy already has kids

On last flight for a crowd worthy of the Fletcher air show

Long day? Take a load off

There is currently a burn ban in Florida which, sadly, meant no fire for the big finale. But don't fret, Trey Jones has a plan. Word is, once the ban is lifted, there’s gonna be one last chance to ride and a big ol’ blaze to take these planks back to Mother Earth. So keep your ears and eyes peeled, or look for the smoke signals
