"INVITE ONLY BOGGS"

[MUD HUNTER]

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

It's not a matter of spectator vs participant... I've seen just as many butt heads in the pits as on the sides. I think the drunk sitting in a lawn chair running his mouth is a lot less hazardous than the drunk behind the wheel of a 5ton mudstrosity trying to be a tough guy. The trouble makers come in all forms... either way, they simply need to be dealt with and removed immediately, and without question.

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.

yes i agree i guess i worded it wrong. i was refering to everyone... your being allowed to come on to someones property and tear it up the least you can do is show some respect to other people...

   IF YOU ARE POSTING AN EVENT THEN THERE SHOULD BE AS MUDHUNTER SAID RULES AND PEOPLE TO ENFORCE. PRIVATE BOGS ARE JUST THAT PRIVATE FOR GOOD REASON. SOME PLACES ARE JUST TOO SMALL TO HOST A BOG FOR EVERYONE.

   I HAVE BEEN INTO DIRT BIKES AND QUADS AND WHATEVER ELSE TEARS UP THE GROUND AND THE STORY IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

   WE ARE HERE FOR MANY REASONS BUT THE MAIN ONES ARE THE LOVE OF THE SPORT, AND THE COMMRODERY AMONGST OUR FELLOW MUDDERS. I AM A REAL NEWBIE AS OF LAST YEAR AT THE THOMPSONS FIRST BOG OF THE YEAR (INVITED BY A COWORKER...LYNN T.) AND HAVE MET SOME GREAT PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY. WILLING TO HELP YOU, AND DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO GET YOU UP AND RUNNING. THANKS A LOT GUYS YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

    I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING MORE OF YOU PRIVATE OR NOT. DONT LET THE ONE IN A CROWD RUIN IT FOR YOU. ENJOY WHAT YOU CAN FOR WE ARE HERE BUT A SHORT TIME.

CROWDS OF PEOPLE ARE A BREEDING GROUND FOR CHAOS!

BY THE WAY THIS SITE HAS HUNDEREDS OF MEMBERS AND IF BIG DADDY WAS TO LET EVERYONE DO WHAT THEY WANT ON THIS SITE IT WOULDENT BE AS GREAT AS IT IS. WE ALL NEED TO HAVE RULES,STRUCTURE AND SOMEONE TO ENFORCE IT. THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF IT.

i been to a lot of  bogs  and  all you  hear  is  f^$k this  and  that  no  respect  for  any body around them,   my  wife  and  grand kids  don't need to hear that  all the time.  i don't  drink.   but  don't  care  if  someone  dose as long as they don't  get  stupid about it.  i wheel my truck  not  my beer  cans.   and  it  is a  matter  of  who you know.  i still don't  get invited to  some  of the  bogs.   and  i  know the  people.   it  mite  be  because  i dont  like  drunks,  is  why  i dont  get invited.  if  your  not  in the  tight  croud,  your  not  invited. plane and   slinple.

wow never new that there was so many problems with drinking at bogs. i am new the bogging world as i dont have a truck YET, and just running my quad.. I would think peopel would have enought common sense to put the can down when there is big Trucks running. Hope i get to meet some of you guys this summer out at the mounds would like to see what these boggs are really like. just look for a fat man on a little yellow quad and you found me...lol hope everyone has a fun muddy safe summer.

I know we have one or two open invites a year! I can HONESTLY say only once have we EVER had major drama! yes, there are stupid drunks that we will talk to and tell them to calm down, but only last yr did anything boil over.  But we also have like four or five invite only bogs a year. The reason for this is we as hostesses can enjoy them a lot more. Now we are not going to kick you out if the invite didnt come from our mouths simply because we trust our friends. But if the crowd gets too big (to where our pot luck dinner isnt enough to feed everyone) then we wont let no one else in. Unfortunetly it is coming to a point where there are more and more invite only bogs. I just wish that the people that want to start the drama would just keep their arces at home!

well after this easter there will be alot changing at my easter bogs well first i dont know if i will have them anymore due to the fact a neighbor complained to the zoning comm and want me shut down well as that goes i will find out the beging of the week and if there is another bog here i will have security in bright ornge shirts and no cars will be aloud in just trucks they can come in on foot but no cars just trucks and campers this year was a good year till some ppl that didnt have a bogger got hammered and got throughn out on ther a** i have no problem throughin ppl out if they wanna be stupid i thought of invite only or no bog at all i dont want to punish my fellow boggers because ppl dont have respect

[doughchvy1]

that sucks that people have to disrespet you and your property like that kelly

[Chevy Racer]

I've been to Kelly's Easter bogs twice now and realy enjoyed it, when I could run anyway.  A local place to bog got shut down in my area a couple years ago due to neighbors complaining after 5+ years of bogging there.  I depend on the open invite bogs and comp bogs since, just like most others, I don't know any landowners that put on bogs.  I don't drink when I bog, do what I can to help out, usually leave early, and clean up my garbage.  Really hope the Easter Bogs have not come to an end.

we have a small bog- not that the pits are that small, but small in the aspect of limited parking for trailers and cars (spectators). we have charged at a couple of bogs, and other bogs we have not charged at. WE have more fun at the free bogs.

Where we have a problem is not with the boggers at all. its with the guys that drive in with there 4x4s and run in the mud, then leave, then come back and run in the mud again. The reason we have problems with this is because of all the mud on the road that our neighbors have problems with and then call the Police or complain to the twp. board. although we have not got into any trouble yet, we want to keep playing and avoid those problems.

we are going to have a couple of bogs this year as long as we have enough water (which we do right now) the first bog will be open invite to everybody and i will post it here on wegotmud! we will see how that one goes and base our 2nd bog on the 1st. if all goes well then we will have open invite again, but if it doesnt go smooth then we will go back to invite only.

so to wrap this all up, we agree with everyone, the problems start when the spectators get drunk and take there stock 4x4s out into the mud pit!

Our bogs will be strict with the fact of IF YOUR TRUCK DIDNT COME ON A TRAILER, IT WILL NOT GO IN THE MUD! (and like i stated before that is primarily because of the mud on the road)

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! 

well put!

i like to go bogs and have fun, and i would like to go to invite only bogs.  because the only thing that i do as a spectator take vids and pics, and post them up all to see (i can be very discreat when the situation calls). so if you like what i have done please let me know by sending me a pm with the info.

and i do see invite only is sounding like the way to go, because i put on a bog  long time ago, and it turned into a mess because the cops were called and it got shut down.

[woody11769]

ok so whos ass do i have to kiss too stay on the invit only list  ..............

[NuttinButtMudd]

True but unfortunate. The guys that cause the problems are allways the ones with no truck. Just a hobby to come get blasted at a bog for some people.

not sure what the answer is... i dont drink & dont care if others drink, as long as its responcable
i leave when i see things getting outta hand, ussally about 5-6 oclock, when I see stock trucks start hittin the pit, time for me to load my stuff up & leave
Every bog has alcohol, i choose to leave when the beer is flowing well & read about the fights the next day...

I pick & choose what bog I go to....
If its a drunkfest, I choose to stay away...
if I wanted to hang out with a bunch of DRUNKS, Id go to local bar! JMO

[NuttinButtMudd]

[woody11769]

on a serious note the sad thing is it has to come to this last weekend at the dalaney rd bog hada elderly couple n what looked like there grand kid come up to me at the end of the day after we loaded my truck with a huge a  smile on there face n thanked me for putting on a great show for them made me feel good i think alot of us take what we do for granted its just the norm n not a big deal just something we do on a saterday to get a rush but for people like them its the coolest thing they ever seen just a shame a few dumbasses have to mess it up for people like them if it go;s to invite only .....just my to cents

[dozer man]
