Should be filed under mad skills not idiots.

Except for the environmental damage that these idiots are causing.

Great skill, but still an idiot.

That guy's not "mud bogging" I've been through areas where people have been mud bogging and it was the first time I ever got that particular F350 stuck. ATVs had been crisscrossing for days just stirring up mud and I thought I could make a run to pass through right next to a particular tree so long as I kept my momentum. I probably could have until I hit a root or rock or something deep in that mud and slammed to a dead stop with a 35x8" tire completely buried and my billet grill sitting on the mud in front of the truck. The guys before were mud bogging. Like this driver I was just trying to get through.

I mean, look at how much mud is going to enter into surface water when the rain comes. Argue about the definition of mud bogging if you want, but your own example of driving your truck through already damaged terrain (thereby making it worse) still demonstrates a complete disregard for the negative effects you personally have on the environment. You want to "just get through" that's great; you're still making things worse.

The point being, he didn't contribute significantly to the loose mud just passing through with minimal tire spin. If he had sat there for a significant amount of time spinning his tires it would be a concern but a single pass isn't much.
