Hey ATVGONEWILD I see that you are planning a mudding event on the same weekend as Okeechobee Mudfest, hope you do well good luck finding customers who will pay to play and ride on a human waste dumpsite. It's sad that you need to attack Okeechobee Mudfest in order to generate business for yourself.

so why the price increase?i could see $10-15 increase but going to $100 is a lil much.people with large families arent gonna be able to afford it!! and most of the larger 2.5 and 5 ton trucks arent coming either because of that.i cant afford $400 for entrance, plus $300 in fuel,plus another $200 in food,and a few hundred more for other stuff...im going to a closer mud hole,and spending a lot less

[billabongcr]

no doubt man. plus i think another reason the huge increase it to weed out the stupider people. the ones mostly on the 4wheelers who are the ones cutting off the guys on 2.5 tons so they get run over, and the stupid guys with the 2.5 tons who are the ones not paying attention and running over people on 4wheelers.

by no means am i calling everyone with 4wheelers or 2.5 ton trucks stupid..but you get what im sayin

[outindeltona]

ill be local driving a couple .2.5 and 5 ton trucks...gonna have a new one out to play

That's funny....I think its sad to charge $100/person for entry...especially in this tough economy.  We're not attacking anyone, and were planning on attending Mudfest (and hosting our event on a different weekend) like we do every year until we found out about the price increase.  We decided to host the event on the same weekend based on the feedback/suggestions we received from our extended ATV network of friends.  No need to wish us goodluck.....we have alerady exceeded our expectations as far as the attendance we are expecting.

As far as your "dumpsite" comment, I would recommend not talking about things you know nothing about (just proves you are ignorant).  We have been redesigning the site and putting rules and organization in place to provide an exceptional riding experience for our attendees.  I would suggest you visit our site (www.atvsgonewildonline.com) and do some research before opeing your mouth.

John Sales the "owner" of mud fest

And to be fair you did come sleeper his thread 

[sbripple]

john sales go piss up a rope  butthead.$100 is just rediculous and you deserve a quiet weekend aug 8-10th on your property .At least you wont have to worry about the portolets fillin up and becoming disgusting  like you usually do.Oh I forgot,you dont worry about that  ,you just let them fill up.So now your gonna make up crap about underhills.It wont help.my large group changed our plans to go to underhills already.Dont blame others when you fail,thats all you.

[outindeltona]

i hope reporters show up hoping to film what normally goes on,and are met by a empty mudhole...then do a story on why its empty instead

[94Hardbody4x4]

Ya'll need to stop bashing Mr. Sales. I dont agree with the price either, but who's to say he wasn't going to lower it on the next go around when he sees the attendance drop? You guys are crucifying him for the price and I'm sure he couldn't care less about who goes now. You really thinks he's worried about the money? He's already made his bank the past five years. Not to mention everyone cried the past 2 years about all the chaos out there, and now that he's weeding those people out, you complain. The ones that have nothing to lose out there cause alot of the trouble, the ones with a $100,000 on their trailer dont get quite as rowdy (not to say they can't party too, lol).

I dont support the price but I do wish he would keep it going for those that can attend it.

[BCConviber]

good luck finding customers who will pay to play and ride on a human waste dumpsite.

I personally drove by the site of Mudfest yesterday... and the cattle were standing up to theit bellies in the main mud hole. Two days before an event, and you still have the livestock pooping in the main mudpit and everywhere else? How is that different that the other site?

[JeepGirl]

Yesterday was actually 10 days before the event............

[extremeforce]

[if i had plans to go to mudfest i would have abandoned them just because of this comment. now im glad i only went once and none of the others.]

I have been to all the events for the past 3 years and that coment was uncalled for and just bad form, add in the $100 price and my family and i will take our fun else where. Now to address the above coments about haveing $100,000 on your trailer some how makes you more safe is silly, i have seen so many of the Big $ trucks that think they own every place they go, I have trucks as well as ATV's and Mud Fest has never had a safe setup. I support the crew from Atvsgonewild in offering a more safe and organized event. But where ever you decide to ride keep it safe so the media and all the haters have nothing to talk about.

[94Hardbody4x4]

Your all pretty dumb for thinking that was the real John Sales.

[e.c.dirtyboy slick]

The onlything i saw that was dumb was the coment, we are all in this sport because we love it and for anyone real or fake to trash an event is dumb. I wish everyone a safe weekend where ever you ride.

Get it straight the event is 8,9,10th how do you get 10 days must be the chinese calender you were reading.

WELL WELL WELL>  this is an interesting post.  Our club THE EAST COAST DIRTY GIRLS have always been an attendee of this event.  The price increase that was stated at the last event on our fliers was a shifting point for some of us.  The $10 more a person increase when clearly there were not enough people to enforce the "idiot rule"  during the day sealed the deal with a bunch of us.  (flyer we were handed in FEB)We head down there every year with about 30-50 in our group alone.  We like to watch the big trucks, would perfer to be able to ride more (ATVS) when they are around but all in all we attend due to the fact there is no other events like this in the state.  HOWEVER....when the price increased to an unrealistic amount for most of the people who attend........I am thankful that another group of individuals stepped it up and brought us something fun and affordable. I will be attending the MIssion Mud and we are very proud to be supporters of this event.  Not only can we ride, race, swim. shower and most importantly be able to afford to go, this event and these people have taken the time and the initiative to listen to the people who will be attending.  I think they also have looked at the mistakes of others and are trying to prevent what has happened in the past. 

There is no need to bash the owner of MUDFest for the increase, the comments that he left were a little uncalled  (from John)  but when one gets on the defensive sometimes they say things before they think.
IT is unfotunate that it has come to this after all the years of mudfest but with the amounts of money that have been generated out  there certain things should have been done to insure a safer enviroment. 

I am not bashing anyone, i attended Mudfest and have for years.....however I am SUPPORTING MISSION MUD and if any of you all know our group we only support things that we strongly believe in.


Hope everyone is safe in what ever thye decide to do.  SEE YA IN THE MUD
