This document discusses different types of off-roading activities including mudding, dune bashing, green laning, and rock crawling. It explains the key aspects of each activity and important vehicle characteristics. Mudding involves driving through pits of mud and requires mud terrain tires with large lugs. Dune bashing is driving on sand dunes, popular in the middle east, but illegal in most areas. Green laning is the mildest form through non-paved areas. Rock crawling is the most challenging as it involves driving on rocky mountainsides requiring concentration on speed and precision. The document also covers off-roading physics concepts like momentum, angles, traction, and friction/gravity and different vehicle types used for off

2. Different Forms of Offroading

3. Mudding
An off-road vehicle runs
through a pit of mud, with
the vehicle getting fully
caked and immersed in mud.
Tires play a critical role in
mudding.
Mud terrain tires should have
extra large lugs because they
allow you to keep traction
and keeps you from getting
stuck.

4. Dune Basing
This involves driving off-road
vehicles through sand dunes.
A combination of driving on
mud and hills.
Very popular in Saudi Arabia
and the middle east due to
the abundance of sand dunes
there but in other areas, it is
mostly illegal because of the
concern that it might
damage sand dunes.

5. Green Laning
The mildest type of off-
roading.
Around places where there
are no pavements like
jungles. Forest or on the
countryside.
The biggest problem you
would probably get from
here are ditches and holes
but in this activity, no special
equipment is needed.

6. Rock
Crawling
The most challenging off-
roading activity.
Includes driving on rocks and
rocky mountainside.
Needs concentration on the
speed of your vehicle when
you are about to drive over or
‘crawl’ on a rock.
Precision is also important as
well as knowing your
vehicles’ angles.

7. Offroading
Physics
 MOMENTUM
 Although the mass of your vehicle remains the
same, the speed always changes. So know when to
accelerate or decelerate and land effectively in
whatever surface.
 ANGLES
 There are three angles that you should be
concerned with : Approach angle ; Break-over
angle; Departure angle
 TRACTION
 Traction is the ‘grip’ of your vehicle’s tires on a
surface. It depends on the type of tire you are using
as well as its air pressure and size.
 FRICTION & GRAVITY
 likely to be the cause of your vehicle at stopping.

9. SUV –Sport
Utility
Vehicles
Mostly likely used for off-
roading activities. Originally
built on truck platforms but
now they are mostly built on
car platforms.

10. ATV –All
Terrain
Vehicles
Most effective and safest
vehicle when driving on sand
dunes and barren deserts.
Descended from All-terrain
cycles.

11. UTV – utility-
Terrain
Vehicles
Mild platform that can be
used on any flat surface such
as snow, mud and can even
be used for green landing. It
is also fully equipped for
carrying a variety of
equipment.
