Enjoy The Excitement Of Mud Bogging Today

By Steven Allen


Guys like to brag about the mud bogs they hit on the weekend, but hearing the stories gets old after a while. The real fun starts when a person gets their own truck. Then they can brag after the weekend is over. It is a blast going through the mud pit in your own decked out truck.

This activity has been around for years in the south, but it is starting to gain a following all over the nation and even worldwide. It has several names like mud bogging, mud racing, or some simply refer to it as muddiing. Whatever name sticks it is basically when off road vehicles are driven through mud pits to see how far a person can make it. The person that makes it the farthest wins.

Watch a few of the first guys through the pit to learn the strong and weak points of the pit. Don't be to eager to be the first one,let a few guys show you the mistakes they make. After info has been gathered then you greatly increase your chance of making it all the way through or at least going the most distance.

One of the best ways to learn is to watch the many videos that are online, a lot of knowledge and tactics can be gathered this way. There are some great tactics for success but the real benefit is in learning what not to do in a new activity. There are many examples of racing in action but some are just of the guys on weekend with a video camera.

The two things that are needed to get any event started are trucks with good strong engines and lots of mud. The more moisture the better and the larger area the better. If it's just a couple of guys out for the weekend any wet hole will do but if there are going to be spectators then a larger area may be required. It does seem to draw a crowd of on lookers.

Most guys will start with any truck they have on hand. They just upgrade the existing engine, suspension,and wheels. Over time though upgrades are made to make the truck more powerful.

Good tires are a key part of any good mud bogging truck. An aggressive pattern sems to offer the best terrain hugging qualitys. Since the object is to go the greatest distance to win events. A steady back and forth motion of the wheels offers the best traction also keep a steady throttle, constantly switching gears and reving the motor seems to stop forward motion.
