"INVITE ONLY BOGGS"

[big red]

what about guys like me that don't know very many of you guys?
so if i don't know you i can't get an invite?
even though my views are pretty much the same as yours.
and i do show up to bogs with truck on trailer.
i do drink beer at bogs, but i don't get rowdy and i always have a d.d.
so pretty it pays to know people if you wanna bog your chit.

I agree totally, just because you drink doesnt mean you get rowdy. And as for me, right now Im without a bogger. Ive been tight on funds this year. I thought Id have the money this spring to pick up a turn key or good project, but unfortunately, it didnt happen for me. So if things go to invite only bogs, I wont know anyone to get an invite when I do get a bogger. As for now, I love to watch bogs and I dont want to see things go to family only or invite only, I dont want to miss out on bogs because I cant afford something to wheel.

im in the same boat. I made a couple people upset with the way i am on the computer, i dont have a bogger but i love to watch, and i will do my best to help any way i can at every bog, only been to a couple but i love it.

i dont really know anybody. never met any of u guys yet. ive been tryin to build my truck for bogs(which this site has helped me with, you guys are awesome!) but if its invite only i would more than likely not be gettin an invite. hell even i just like watchin along with a few of my freinds and my dad. i like bein able to see how people build their trucks and how they perform. im good with no alchohol. dont drink anyways. if they all go to invites id love to get some to just even spectate. idc if i run or not, its still a great time!

Ive been going to bogs for many years.  The rude and crude drunks seem to always find there way to make problems.  I haven't drank at a bog for many years and don't mind the people that do (alcohol makes for some good truck broke photos) but with that being said I like to have my rigs on the trailer when the crazy begins. love to bog hope to get invites also. RUDE DRUNKS WITH NO RESPECT GO HOME EARLY!!!!  

[D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F.]

Ok every one has made a real good point and i am afraid i will not get am invite because i have not been ale to meet any of you i started looking in to mudding as a family thing so i could have have funand show my kids that there are safe ways to have fun. I know i am VERY NEW to this site and have gotten a lot of good ideas on how i am going to build my bogger when i have the money for it but as for now my D.D. is also my bogger. I dont want anyone to think i am out there to cause trouble because I use my stock truck to have fun but i feel and live by start with stock and make it stronger as thing break. I have done that with a few of the old street cars. I know that a stock 91 bronco is nothing special and I coud only afford a cheap lift by buying 32inch tires and ditching the stock rolling stock. So where does that leave people like me will we be given a chance.

all i can say for those that dont know many of the people that put the bogs on is to get out there when you can and meet them. Just show them how nice of a person u are and that u can play nice. dont know what else to say. I hope you all can be invited to those bogs too. I'm kinda in the same boat as you too.

[J.C.]

i feel sorry for the ppl that have 364 other days of the year, and they gotta be assholes (not everyone that drinks), cuz they cant put the beer down for one day. no one has discipline anymore?

i hate to say that some ppl ruin it for others. but it happens

i like going to mud bogs and i dont drink at all so to those who like to go get blasted and only think about themselves they should be thrown out or just banned from attending other ones bogs...too bad some have to ruin things for others.  like to hang out also and watch the other trucks do there thing JMO

all the bogs i've been to have been posted on wegotmud.com.... have made it to two invites at unadilla and perkins. had the best times at perkins and unadilla and would go again providing i would get invited to go bog and take some pics and vids to post. thanks guys

I agree I have twin 2 year olds and a 4 year old my wife and sometimes other members of my family come to bogs with me and they also bring there kids. My kids love my bogger and love to play around at bogs I keep a very close eye on them. That is our FAMILY TIME. We have had a couple times where I feared for my kids safety because of some Stupid Fing drunks either fighting or driving there boggers around and I have left early. I think that is so stupid I like to drink as well but I dont at bogs I may have one or two but I use my head unlike those idiots. I hope this doesnt end my Family Time because of morons. I hope to get those invites as well but I only know a few of the people on here so my bogs are getting slim. JMO     

Very well said and x2 !!

[BIG DOG]

yup its a bad deal for all

          X2 also agree with all you folks. Last year right by my house i was told that after I left the waterman rd bog, things got waaayyy out of hand. Tires slashed, women punched, etc. I don't think any of us on this site want the rowdy crowd showing up to any bog, it's just a shame that it has to come to this... I left motocross for this and am just finishing my first bogger. So I literally know a handful of people that do this and don't want to not get an invite because no one knows who I am... It would suck to lose interest in bogging because of a lack of places to play befor I even get started.

[Thumper]

To all the people that don't know very many other boggers, I too am in the same boat. The only way to get to know more is to go to more posted boggs and introducing yourself to others and show people that you are a trustworthy and respectful person. I have been doing this for 2 years and it has been going great, it just takes time and patience.

[BIG DOG]

have we meet        hi i'm big dog   and i bogg with my family   and always bring enough to share   food sodas  seats     tools   and the wife plays daycare while i;m out mingling or wheelin my rig  not my computer   and always help out at any bogg

[millser]

when i invite someone i tell them to bring some one with them i like to meet people i invite you   you should trust your buddy not to be a jerk if he is then you and your buddy can go and wount get another invite to come back     its not all fun and games when you put on a bog lots of work  we dont charge at owers its all frinds but i can say its been getting alot bigger then we realy want but no truble yet

[dsJeep]

personally I don't think alcohol belongs at a mudbog, don't get me wrong I like to drink when I get a chance, but there's alot of steel moving and accidents happen, an alcohol free bog would be nice...

and as for the people that are worried about not getting invited to bogs, start going to the mounds, alot of people from this site hang out there and I can't think of a better way to get to know more people of this site, I just wish I had a trailer to haul my Jeep down there so I can start hanging out with my fellow gotmud'rs, I only know 3 people here and would really like to get to know more...

[99superduty]

well i dont haul my truck to bogs but i do drive it there casue its all i got and i love to see you guys in your sweeet trucks doing your thing and i will get out there once in a while but manly there to wacth just like te rest of you dont know to many of you so proly wont get invite but thats how it goes i guess

[Orangecrush]

We pick and choose where we go, there are some boggs that get out of hand and its usually people that are drinking and being obnoxious spectators. I dont think that bogs will come to an end,but i bet you will see a decline in the number that are going on,just because of the liability and crazies leaving the place a pigsty, if you pack it in,pack it out,be courteous and treat all with respect, it can go along way!  if you cant be respectful , responsible and considerate of others property then stay the fawk home!

[MUD HUNTER]

My two cents...

I have been involved in this sport (recreation) for over twenty years... Spectators are a huge part of making a bog an "event". I would bet most everyone on this (or any) site got into bogging byway of spectating at one time or another. Private / invite only / club bogs... are great, but don't rule out the open events.

I believe (MY PERSONAL OPINION) the biggest issue of a poor "event" type bog experience is the near complete lack of organization by the hosts. If you're going to host an event, be responsible about it.

1. Have a firm (I MEAN FIRM) set of rules for organizational & safety reasons
2. Have an event team (security) to oversee the event
3. Enforce the rules

If you cannot provide the "basics" for people... DO NOT take their money!

When we have bogs (either of the clubs I belong to) all of the above is in place. If someone gets out of hand, it is dealt with immediately. Drunks and a$$holes are not tolerated... PERIOD. People should be able to enjoy themselves, and feel safe bringing their families... both participants & spectators.

Sorry for the rant guys... I just feel way too many people are trying to host bogs to "be cool" and make some coin without much thought/care for organization or safety. The sad fact is... the "A$$holes & trouble makers" will always manage to congregate. Have a plan to deal with it... and stop letting them ruin it for everyone else.

End Rant... Let the slander begin!

i agree w/ that but i think its just as much of the spectators resonsibility to resect other people and there property aswell.
