This is the intense and dirty world of mega mud trucks. The adrenaline rush is like no weather. It's unbelievable

We have different events at every event. It's to be the tire pull
0:30
There's hill and hole event. That's where we jump the truck. Cross three hills is a timed event
0:36
It will also be mud drags where we're in the mud, side-by-side drag racing

It's better than any drug. An avid fan of mega-truck events, Ryan Camp from Georgia, USA, felt he could no longer stay on

the sidelines and decided to have his own competition standard vehicle built so he could take part himself

1:08
Took it to BMFAB. They began the process of starting the chassis
1:13
It took a whole year and an outlay of $80,000 for his $650 mega truck to be finished

When we were at West Georgia Mud Park a couple weeks ago, they were just out playing around
2:15
They had done a jump. And when he landed, he landed on two wheels
2:21
And that is probably the most nerve-wracking thing is just knowing that there is a possibility that they could flip
2:27
So far, Ryan has taken a way. Ryan has taken part in eight competitions
2:33
And today, he's driving at Trucks Gone Wild at Bithlow Mud Racing in Florida, USA
2:39
Even before the event has begun, his vehicle is attracting attention. Very unique truck, one of a kind, beautiful paint job, beautiful truck, nice craftsmanship
2:50
I think it's beautiful. I've always loved older model vehicles. I see one all jacked up with all the different equipment that you don't see on other vehicles
2:59
But it won't stay clean and stuff. shiny for long as Ryan prepares to today event We have different events at every event This one happens to be the tire pull This is the trial truck challenge There will be a three truck team
3:35
We're two seconds off the leader, so right now we're in second place
3:42
So that's a great day overall. It was awesome run. The teammates did great
3:47
It was perfect. But the end of the competition isn't the end of Fryehan's Day with his pride and joy
3:53
As soon as I get home, I try to wash it as quick as I can. It comes off a little bit easier
3:57
The pressure washing process and all, I mean, it can take anywhere for three to four hours to get it cleaned up
4:02
This truck will never be for sale. It's just something I've dreamed of and I have a year of my life and time and money involved in
4:09
I'll hang on to that one and give it to my son
