The first grave digger was painted by my dad. Glenn Brunner and the art work was Fred Bowman. My pops still has the drivers door with Dennis’s name on it.
I saw this comment, didn't like it cuz i didn't know what it was referring to. I see that edit, and this exact comment comes to mind, had to come here and like it. Yeah, shit was funny
Same. Its amazing to see how far the sport has come. There was a time where basically if you rolled the truck you were done. Nowadays trucks can go through so much more and perform way better.
@Conor never was able to sadly but was able to go to a few shows in anaheim. My father was able to watch trucks like USA-1 and Snake Bite during racing matches in the Silverdome and other places.
It wasn't grave digger....but imagine this. I'm about to go for a ride in a road legal monster truck. Family friend can build his own self built vehicles and have them registered like boutique small batch production vehicles road legal and all. He has like 4 monster trucks. Well ones technically a monster car. Boy was that funny. People in cars freak the fuck out.
"HELL FREAKING YEAH"... was shouted by my husband when he gets the notification... damn scared rhe life out of me... A freaking Bumper to Bumper on a monster truck... these guys are nuts... I love it... Great video... Keep up the good work...
@@guyontheinternet8891 It was definitely worth it. Yeah, it was with my ex girlfriend but Monster Jam holds a very special place in my heart and she can't take that away from me.
Imagine someone doing it with some cheap exotic that pops up after someone kills the motor and tranny and can't afford replacements. Or a luxury whip when rights hit rock bottom. I mean....whats another 25k minus however much money you can part most of the vehicle out for a monster rolls Royce silver seraph. Could even get clone bodies made once you shell the car.
I'd make it a bucket list stop for anyone to visit Dennis's museum in north Carolina. Monster truck rides, a diner, and a tour of his garage. Cool stop for anyone to see.
Once again, Bravo to the whole crew constantly putting out world class content. Editors are killing the game with the transitions and I just love James and Mo Powah Baby
James climbing in the truck while holding a GoPro in his mouth made me fall in love with the Donut crew. Pure dedication to the art. Love you guys, keep making great Videos.
@@Ob1tuber They ruined everything man. From shutting trucks off that lost a wheel to the dirt tracks we have now. Wish we still had the crush car tracks :/
I remember when i lived in ct i went with my cub scouts group to go see a monster truck show(idk the proper term.) but my 8 year old mind was blown when i saw grave digger my friend ben and i took pictures next to it. it was one of the coolest days of my life.
Not any more. Bigfoot has been basically irrelevant for 20 years. That means if you started watching monster jam at any point during that time, and never saw trucks before, you don't know who bigfoot is. It's a shame that bigfoot was never on board but there are many more popular trucks now a days. 20 year olds and younger have little idea who bigfoot is.
@Jeremy Backman Yeah they were cool but they were also punishing to drive. A lot of the early monster truck guys ended up with back injuries and broken bones. They were dangerous, broke a lot and couldn't perform at the same level as the current ones.
Bigfoot IS the most well known MONSTER TRUCK!!...Grave Digger is the most well known MONSTER JAM TRUCK!!..Bigfoot is still very much alive and well but doesn't have the publicity machine behind it like Grave Digger.. People tend to forget that without Bigfoot or Bob Chandler there would be no MONSTER JAM!!..
Once went inside the grave digger when I was a kid, I used to be a huge monster jam fan! I thank monster jam and grave digger for my interest in auto mechanic’s from a young age.
I've seen the Grave Digger live at a Monster-Truck-Show here in my little city in Germany, together with Bigfoot, Blue Thunder, and a few other legendary Trucks. And what an amazing experience this was for me as a teenager seeing all these famous Trucks live that I knew from TV, crushing cars, jumping over a row of cars, doing wheelies and other crazy stuff. They we're at Walmart back in 2005(I guess it was), when Walmart was still in GE, but just a short while after Walmart shut it's doors in GE completely. Sad story bro😔
i also know one event i visited at my city but here in Germany. But that was really crappy and both Trucks stopped working. I was so sad. Crazy that i never saw official events here in Kaiserslautern, where many US People are stationed
@@adamriese3610 That's really strange indeed🤔 Maybe it has to do with all that environmental BS. I bet there would be a bunch of angry FFF protesters nowadays. That's at least my guess of why they don't come here anymore.
Swear to god, james is the coolest person out there. Ive always loved grave digger and the fact that he gets to so in inside, let alone touch the monsterous truck, is beyond me.
I always remember loving this truck I used to have a toy of this truck and when I play the psp monster jam game I choose this truck for everything Also when is see this video about this truck I scream while click the video as fast as a drag car
this just made me realise why i used to like monster jam so much. ive been to 4 shows in groningen while i was like 9-13 years old. big things with big wheels making big jumps and big sounds. its awesome
I met Dennis Anderson at his shop when I was 11 . He held the door open for my father and I . I had just bought a shirt from his shop and was too timid to say hello . After the cashier told my father who held the door open for us he couldn’t believe I didn’t say anything . Apparently Dennis was there to see the new chassis they were working on ,Closest thing to a celebrity encounter I’ve ever had
Straight up, this is the coolest Bumper 2 Bumper episode on Donut.
Hands down to this sick team doing everything for us. I salute.
They are amazing they actually gave me one of the pistons out of the engine and I am so thankful for it
Angre Reacc most coolest lol
I don’t want me be that guy... but I wanted James to drive it .. like 300 feet
