America is often called the land of the free and the home of the brave. What says free and brave more than driving trucks recklessly through mounds of mud and dirt?

The essence of what most people call “muddin” is to take he/she’s truck out for a casual rampage through the depths of mud and dirt that is the back country. Roll cages, dried mud and Stag beers all come into the vocabulary when this glorious sport is put into play.

The most important part of “muddin” is that anyone, from any walk of life can approach the sport with open arms, taking their trucks, mini vans and Honda Civics into the fray. While others refer to baseball as our nation’s true pastime, it can be agreed that the most impressive and patriotic of sports is taking the truck out and “muddin” it up.

So take the car out, strap on two American car flags, paint your doors red, white and blue and take to the back roads until your car is 10 feet deep in mud with a busted transmission.
