For this final thread I suggest a glass of Tito's vodka with the song "The Darkest Days" by Dog Fashion Disco. Think of it as exit-music.
Friends, fans, other folks, It brings us great sadness to announce that after over 13 years of my wife and I sharing our wet and muddy adventures with you out there in internet-land, we are shutting our website down this coming weekend. From Sammi's (adidas_chik on here) first roll in the mud when she was just a city girl who'd never gotten more than her shoes dirty at a concert up to the nutty winter-swimmer and extreme mudder she became, you have watched with us as we've grown. Through multiple apartments, changing budgets, the dawn of digital photography, the pregnancy with our two beautiful children being captured in (very) pregnant clothed baths, the ups and downs, the faulty equipment and overly drunken states, the exciting move to a download store... you have followed all of it. You've read my long descriptions about the details of each event, the story behind the photos, my personal blog of what exactly goes into making each crazy adventure happen. We were pretty much the very last free WAM site on the internet, giving away probably 15,000 photos for free with the hope that you would simply enjoy them and perhaps send an email to say thank you. We have made countless amazing friends from all over the globe. We have received more emails than I can count from couples who told us our site showed them WAM can be a fun couples-activity, and in doing so have improved relationships and marriages. We've been told by some of the models you've seen here on UMD that we inspired them to make their own sites, videos and photos. It has been a fantastic and wonderful part of our lives. Over 1/4 of our lives has been lived with our site in the background. And man, what a ride!
Sadly, this chapter of our lives must come to a close. Due to personal issues far beyond easy fixes the time has come to pull the plug and shut it down. No need for details here. Those issues are for us to reconcile in private. Just understand that this is the most necessary course of action for us to take. It sucks, but there are many things in real life worth far more than sharing photos and videos with you fine people. We will miss it. Some of you may miss it as well. But rather than just letting it vanish I figured it would be nice to provide an obituary here, to pay my own respects to "our little website." And to think we had another 4000 photos waiting to be posted through a dozen adventures... bummer. The site will remain operational until this weekend. Please feel free to peruse it one last time with a good drink and some great music (the suggestions will become apparent) and enjoy the stories one more time. Grab the photos you love. Send an email to say "thanks" just one more time.
Sincerely, thank you to everyone over 13+ years for all the fantastic emails, stories, photos, suggestions, and gifts. We won't forget how good most of you have treated us, and we are grateful. Sammi aka adidas_chik will be closing our download store this weekend as well. She is working on a proper final posting that will be much more exciting to look at than all this text.
Let me just say it's been a pleasure sharing the 13 years with you and the wifey. We really appreciate you doing this for so many years. Whatever you have in front of you, I wish you good luck and a prosperous and healthy life.
For me, you have the best and most authentic site in the whole web! Your site is a lighthouse: It shows that it is possible to combine a very special fetish with a great and lucky relationship.
Your site helped me a lot when i was younger. I would have never gotten my former girlfriend to join me in the mud with her clothes on without showing her your site previously.
If you would close your site it would be very sad for the few people in the world that share our preferences and that are trying to find a good way to get along with their fortune..
This news brings me great sadness. I have been following you two right from the beginning. I am a big fan of wet and muddy winter coats and nobody does it as you two. Heck there isn't a site out there that is as good as yours. This really does suck. I am really gonna miss your vids and pics and seeing your updates. Good luck to the both of you.
Both you & Sammi have shown us great pictures over the years and even though I may have stumbled onto your website a few recent months ago as well as befriended Sammi here in the UMD, every picture & video has that extra something special that made your website a hit. I understand personal matters have the upmost priority in a person's life and everyone has to do what is best for their life at that moment in time. Bryce, I wish you & Sammi all the best in your future endeavors as well as to say thank you for sharing a small piece of your lives with everyone. I hope the both of you will check in every now and then. In closing, to qoute Ron Burgundy, "Stay Classy!" because everything was done with class by a pair of classy people.
What a shame! But real life is the most important thing and if that means closing this chapter in your lives so be it. All the very best for the future. I enjoyed your sites.
There was that tantalising picture of Sammi in mud in an outfit that included reddish gloves and reddish boots which we will never see the complete set of now........but never mind, as I said your overall lives, you and your family is much more important.
I am more a passive user here, to be honest, but this post makes me want to contribute and thank you! Since maybe ten years of visiting WAM pages, your page has been one of the most fun and honest contributions. Thanks for sharing that with us and it is just great to see how much fun you guys are having together!
So I wish you all the best! Hope you will enjoy many more WAM adventures together and just have a great fun future together!
