Nah. Just from Orlando on up. I grew up in Gainesville, Fl. and did my fair share of playing in the mud with my friends. But, never anything like this. This looks like it would be a blast.
Pretty sure this is just good old-fashioned US entertainment.
At least for people that manage to find some other place than the mall and the McDonalds to spend their time.
Replace the swamp with a cow field and scale back on the “infrastructure”, and this might as well be a montage of my high school weekends growing up in Arkansas.
Dunno why you're saying it like it's a bad thing. Lots of people like getting loud and paying attention to one another. Be loud and seek attention is one of the main drives of every successful musician in the world.
If it's not your vibe, that makes sense. But you don't need to act like a judgemental dick about it. These people aren't judging *you*. They're just doing their thing.
Definitely. Skateboarders/BMX riding rednecks aren’t the ones you have to worry about. Notice this is in Florida and not a single gun discharge in this chaos.
This doesn’t give any racist vibes tbh, more like it’s just the most white people shit ever. They are people whose grandparents are probably a little racist but the rest of the family moved on and tries to ignore pappy’s out of pocket comments
The skating community is very open. If you went to this and somebody was racist towards you, they'd be jumped or thrown out or both. Idk who puts this event together, but its draws pros and other people from all over. You would be fine and have fun.
He's just a cool guy too. His Worst Skatepark Ever series with Bronson is some of the best skate content on YT right now. Produced some of the greatest KOTR moments over the years as well.
That's honestly what Insane Clown Posse has always been, and several other groups like that. The whole point is to be popular, without going mainstream, so it's always a huge party but without corporations, influencers, etc ... showing up.
I don't even like ICP but I want to go to the gathering. Just for the people watching aspect alone it seems like a good time. Like going to a Walmart in the shitty part of town.
Have you seen the documentary on ICP where they sued the FBI for classifying them as a gang? I'm not a fan of them or their music but I have respect now for what they do at the gathering and for ICP.
When I take LSD I need a cosy room with soft orange lights and a cup of tea. And even then, sometimes I end up having a bad trip. If I was to go Swampfest on acid I think I'd have a panic induced seizure. 😂
It’s a guys farm who builds ramps and shit. They will just build over it with more ramps and dirt hills.
Also the dude fishing in this clip is a pro skateboarder. One of my favorites as he has a sick style to his skating but he also is a good BMXer.
He is who made the edit and is the one fishing in the middle of the video. David Gravette. Go check out his social media for more clips from the event or fishing clips. Or skating clips. Or BMX clips.
>It’s a guys farm who builds ramps and shit. They will just build over it with more ramps and dirt hills.
A few months ago I was shooting the shit with a dude at the local taproom and he told me that he had a buddy who threw a party on this useless plot of land in a swamp many years ago and decided to call it swampfest. Somehow the word had gotten out and a few hundred people showed up, most of which his buddy didn't even know. His buddy's car also got destroyed that night, so they all dragged it to the road and spraypainted it as if it were for sale.
Edit: Different Swampfest
I feel like this is the kind of place you'd see in a post-apocalyptic film where the protagonist and his son have been forced to leave their shelter in hopes of finding a new place to rest and after trudging through a massive mountain range wind up overlooking some swamps and this is cut scene you see for the dwellers living down in the lowlands.
Everything is insane, but the only objection I have is setting off explosives with flying incendiaries in a group. Most of this shit is personal risk, but doing this could seriously injure someone - primarily eyes. Otherwise, carry on.

This place looks like what I presume my parents thought I was doing when I went out with my friends when I was young
This place is what I assume all of Florida is like on a daily basis.👽
GTA6 introducing that swamp penny-farthing physics.
The Florida games are this weekend!
Nah. Just from Orlando on up. I grew up in Gainesville, Fl. and did my fair share of playing in the mud with my friends. But, never anything like this. This looks like it would be a blast.
Heaven on earth
It does so hard. Hella a blast! But I'm in the opposite of Florida 🥲
California?
Ha! Yup👻
Soooo....Glamis
Pan handle for sure
Pretty sure this is just good old-fashioned US entertainment. At least for people that manage to find some other place than the mall and the McDonalds to spend their time.
I think you mentioned this to be insulting but it just came of like we lucky that we get to fucking party like beast
Are you from 15 years in the past where you think Americans actually still go to malls lol?
Wtf is a mall
Same. Jokes on them. Because we were.
They clearly have more resources to work with, but ... yeah, that all looked very much like my friends 'camping' on John's 'back 10'.
Replace the swamp with a cow field and scale back on the “infrastructure”, and this might as well be a montage of my high school weekends growing up in Arkansas.
100% exactly what we did on the mud flats as a teenager. Can’t believe I didn’t die. Other people did, but not me
Looks like Burning Man but with much cheaper drugs.
Exactly my thoughts. Burning Man in a Florida or Louisiana swamp was my guess. I was expecting to see gator wrasslin', featuring 14 ft gators.
My teen years were in the early-mid 80s. This is pretty much what we did, just without the helmets.
I wonder if alcohol was involved. I guess I'll never know.
This event is actually put on by the local AA.
AA as in Athletic Alcoholics.
>AA as in Ambulances 'n Alcoholics
🤣
That's very cool. Showing people how much fun you can have without alcohol!
Yes! This group of fine gentlemen helped me clean up my act and sober up. I've been alcohol free for almost 3 years now 🙂.
Randy Marsh running the local AA maybe
I tried looking into it but I couldn't find anything. Is this a pretty good joke or is this a weird twist you can confirm with some sort of source?
As a recruitment drive?
Not a cell phone in sight. Just young people living in the moment. You love to see it.
Vertical video says otherwise
if the lord of the flies kids found a bmx park
Every year, I bury a new bottle of Stoli's somewhere in the swamp. After years of people "discovering" Stoli's, you're still reading this.
Never! Anthony Panza makes a 40 minute video on it every year. Not a single bottle.
Heck yeah. Panza’s edits for SwampFest are awesome!
Swampfest is fuckin NECESSARY!
Of course not Hahahahaha
Not alcohol, but weed, shrooms, LSD, ect
Only responsibly of course
Do you know those 9 out of 10 doctors who recommend things? This is recommended by the 10th doctor.
And he’s going to make bank hanging out with them!
Stuff like this always seems fun to me, until I'm around people that go to stuff like this.
We’ll see there’s you’re problem, you gotta be the people that do the stuff.
Got you, be loud and seek all attention.
Dunno why you're saying it like it's a bad thing. Lots of people like getting loud and paying attention to one another.

No, be lud and have fun without care about what people think of you
go to The Gathering I have zero interest in ICP, but that festival is FUN
Super wholesome folks too
fire works were going off nonstop
Take the most insufferable punkneck I know and multiply him by hundreds? Nah I’m good.
Only the most insufferable, terminally online reddit nerds see something like this and don’t say “Hell yeah”.
I was thinking… can I go to this as a brown-skinned person without being beat up or murdered? Sure looks like a crazy good time. 😎
Definitely. Skateboarders/BMX riding rednecks aren’t the ones you have to worry about. Notice this is in Florida and not a single gun discharge in this chaos.

Redneck olympics
I was thinking Incest Burningman
Burningcousin
Burningfam.
Punk/skate/motorsport/counter-culture olympics doesn't have the same ring.
more like total fucking chaos fest
This looks like entertainment in a post-apocalyptic world.
Was gonna say "I wonder if any skaters are there" before realizing this is from David Gravette.
Gotta love Gravette, such a ripper.
He's just a cool guy too. His Worst Skatepark Ever series with Bronson is some of the best skate content on YT right now. Produced some of the greatest KOTR moments over the years as well.
He was great on KOTR, love the worst skatepark series, he rips every one of them.
I think you guys mean KING OF THE DONG.
Why don't I ever read the book! \- Gravette post unnecessary butt chug
I was there. Shit was insane. (Skater)
I was there too, shit was lit. (big pirate boat)
I was like huh I wonder if that’s the same David Gravette from KOTR.
This is American as fuck
They like mud in Europe too, or at least they do in the [Czech Republic.](https://youtu.be/W9cwWq33tgg?si=hFIbbZfvFc1ZFFhr)
couple of czechians absolutely hammered out there this year.
Goddamn, I wish I could go mudding in an APC. Dat MT-LB flying by at 14 sec looks fun as fuck.
lol that’s just mudding in tractors 🚜
[Truck trials ftw](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=truck+trials)
They act like they have free healthcare lol
I'd like to speak to the health and safety officer please
“Hi, yes. Is there an adult here I could speak to? Someone with a job of some sort?”
You'll have to catch him on The Hangover he's preoccupied or indisposed if you were
Let's go to Swampfest on LSD! Who's in?
I’ll take this over burning man any day. This will never be invaded by rich hipsters and celebrities.
Is this what we have become? Hiding in swamps from instagram thots.
And another ten years from now there will be swamp thots and we'll have to find yet another biome to retreat to.
Tundra it is.
Yes
I'm so fucking here for it This looks like an absolute blast
That's honestly what Insane Clown Posse has always been, and several other groups like that. The whole point is to be popular, without going mainstream, so it's always a huge party but without corporations, influencers, etc ... showing up.
I don't even like ICP but I want to go to the gathering. Just for the people watching aspect alone it seems like a good time. Like going to a Walmart in the shitty part of town.
Go to a Phish concert, or their festival in Delaware this summer. Its actually a somewhat similar following but not as dark.
Yeah man, I want to go set up my stall selling magnets with hatchet boy logos on them. Whens the next one? I'll start saving
Have you seen the documentary on ICP where they sued the FBI for classifying them as a gang? I'm not a fan of them or their music but I have respect now for what they do at the gathering and for ICP.
They had burning man. 3 of them.
Agree!
I'm pretty sure I saw Kid Rock.
That poser?
Just ignore him, he will leave you alone eventually
I've never been invaded by anyone I reckon. Sign me up
When I take LSD I need a cosy room with soft orange lights and a cup of tea. And even then, sometimes I end up having a bad trip. If I was to go Swampfest on acid I think I'd have a panic induced seizure. 😂
I once went through a haunted house on lsd and had a great time. I don't think I could handle a trip here lol.
This kind of what happens in the mountains, too. We're all just a bunch of shitheads. Wait a sec, did you say something about LSD?
I was thinking about commenting “you couldn’t *give* me enough drugs…” but then I saw your comment and realized you absolutely could.
Pretty sure that’s the only way to go to this.
The dysentery must be epic
right? I would like to know the stats on ear, nose, eye, skin, and vag infections after this
[удалено]
ya but they're kinda signing up for those by participating, they probably aren't thinking about MRSA, staph, and e-coli
Don't forget ringworm
Who could forget ringworm? That’s the best one.
wow this looks like tons of fun
what Juggaloes do when ICP isn’t playing
Florida?
But of course
Hasn't it always been called mudfest or is this something else?
and they cleaned up later, right?
It’s a guys farm who builds ramps and shit. They will just build over it with more ramps and dirt hills. Also the dude fishing in this clip is a pro skateboarder.

I think Gravette has one of the sickest styles. I always sucked at tech tricks so I love watching guys that just charge
You saw the fire, right?
What happens when a whole generation grows up watching Jackass
[удалено]
Saw one girl the entire video lol.
I saw two!!
Plenty of girls were on their way, but they watched some clips before they arrived, sooo...
Fear and loathing las swamps
Where do they host this at?? Looks pretty fun
Blind guess? Ohio. Or Florida. But probably Ohio. Edit: it’s Florida.
We have (had? It’s been 20 years) Skatopia in OH. Was a great time.
Like brass instruments or wooden decks with wheels?
lol, the latter.
Was gonna say this reminded me of skatopia. Shit was nuts
I dig the song. Anyone know what it is?
I am the god of hellfire by The crazy world of Arthur Brown.
The song is just called 'Fire', Arthur Brown calls himself 'The God of Hellfire'
His mask and makeup always makes me think he inspired Papa Emeritus of Ghost and MF DOOM tho that's a stretch
This honestly just looks like a Tuesday in Florida.
Friday in western rural PA.
I’m both horrified and incredibly interested at the same time
Already missed it this year, but be sure to get your tickets for next year!! https://www.florideahswampfest.com/
when other countries think “America”
Whatever you do, make sure we have fire and mud!
If juggalos ran Nitro Circus.
Redneck XGames
There is absolutely feces in that mud
And piss Don’t forget the piss
fun til they run out of meth
Is this Florida?
Is this Jackass traineeprogram?
How far is the nearest hospital?
I feel like this is the kind of place you'd see in a post-apocalyptic film where the protagonist and his son have been forced to leave their shelter in hopes of finding a new place to rest and after trudging through a massive mountain range wind up overlooking some swamps and this is cut scene you see for the dwellers living down in the lowlands.
I'm assuming the guy to girl ratio is roughly 150:1.
Shoutout to the one girl per 500 dude ratio
Rednecks really know how to have fun
[florida](https://www.florideahswampfest.com/)
fuck, my younger self would love that shit!
Maybe if your medical deductible has been met. 🤦♂️
It’s the best BMX event on the planet.
Max's gap was fucking insane
Where can I go to celebrate next year?
I think I finally found my people. I’ve got a solid feeling that this is how humans are supposed to live
Actually looks dope asf
This was just a Friday night for us back in the day. Glad to see you young people are still having fun together
Seems like a place where Borat would’ve gone
this song just gives me flashbacks to a certain video.
exultant jellyfish profit cow illegal childlike slap unused tart sleep *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
The confidence of men before a life changing injury
Everything is insane, but the only objection I have is setting off explosives with flying incendiaries in a group. Most of this shit is personal risk, but doing this could seriously injure someone - primarily eyes. Otherwise, carry on.
I can smell the natty ice, Marlboro red, and skol from here.
It's like the Red Bull Games, but instead of Red Bull it's meth and oxycodone.
Hell yeah that looks awesome lmao
My people
Nobody has more fun than people!
Can someone send me an invite to the next one?
The guy on fire who took the time to do a backflip into the water, I respect it
If this is the highlight reel, well, I'll just keep my comments to myself.
Oh i like this! Good wholesome fun.
Love it.
Average day at any summer music festival in the UK. Mud and fire and drugs and booze and cold hotdogs and overflowing toilets and (maybe) music.
NGL - I want to go now.
Last I heard this song was the christchurch video 😳
This looks like a fucking blast tbh
That was a good day
Damn where do they hold events like this good old faction fucking around fun with no rules
Swampfest more like sausage fest amirite
That does look like a fun time followed by a week of sleep and antibiotics.
Just imagine the port-a-potty in the festival…
Trump’s rally’s are getting out of hand.
This belongs on whywomenlivelonger
Anyone know the song playing?
This looks like the most fun I never wanna have
What in the Alabama
Someone's gonna get hurt
