Mudriding

Mud, dirt, water, fourwheelers - these are the four ingredients needed to have the best time of your life. What is this amazing thing you ask? It's called mudriding. Mudriding is a broad term. It can refer to anywhere from riding mountain bikes through puddles, or the more common, more fun way, with fourwheelers.
Fourwheelers can do many things. They can tow a load of firewood from your back yard to your door step. They can get you from point A to point B through many different types of terrain. Your lucky if you find mud on the way.. this is when the mudriding begins.
It starts of with you, the fourwheeler, and the hole. 2 feet of water, 1 foot of mud. This is it. You approach the hole easy, still in first gear. Drive into the mud, slam on the gas, and go at it. It starts bogging.. now's the time to shift into second. Mud is flying everwhere. Your slowly but surely making progress. You get to the end of the hole and your tires finally get grip. You go flying out and start showing off in front of the crowd. Time to go again.
Another thing you can do when riding is something called fish tailing. This is performed when you go around a turn to fast. Lets say it's a left turn. Your back end is gonna go flying to the right while your front is slung to the left. You go flying around the curve. You quickly cut the handlebars to the right to level out. You have successfully performed a sick fish tail.
"I'm a completely different man now that I have been mudriding. Thats the funnest freakin thing I ever did!" This is a quote from my friend Logan Rider. He never stops talking about it now. He plans to get one in the near future. So before you think its gross getting dirty, give it a shot. You never know, you might go country. ;)
