Blood Wizard At Swampfest 2024

Swampfest is a crazy event from the mind of Trey Jones! It was created to get BMXers and more to come and enjoy what Florida has to offer.

The Blood Wizards went down to enjoy the festivities. While they partook of the incrediblely creative obstacles and events, they also had one of their own.

The Blood Wizard channel jam was two ramps connected at the top but straddling a strip of swampland. Good and bad things happened on this obstacle!

Watch the entire MASHER: Swampiest 2024 below. Filmed and edited by Chris Gregson.

If that video doesn’t make you want to build a toilet bowl go cart and travel to Florida for Swampiest 2025, we won’t be able to convince you.

Blood Wizard Skateboards are distributed in Canada through Platform Distribution. We are the wholesale connection for Canadian skate shops to get the Wizard on their walls and into the hands of skaters across the country.

Portal Dimension S24 Clothing Line

Go through the Portal and look into another Dimension with the Spring 2024 clothing line.

This season was inspired by the nature of Pacific Northwest. When Kevin Kowalski created the line, he was inspired by nature. This inspiration included a very particular lens to see the world through.

Add the Portal Dimension lens to the nature around and the result is this Spring’s line.
