Monster Patrol has become my favorite truck recently. I fell it was the best example of an underdog. In the 90’s, it was consistently beat by Bigfoot, Bear Foot, and Grave Digger. Every time Monster Patrol beat one of those names, my respect for it grew. Reminds me of the early years of Grave Digger. Too bad Monster Jam disrespected Paul’s franchise. They had their reasons, but I’d have loved to see his his fleet have the legacy of Grave Digger or Maximum Destruction.
With the TV exposure waining by the 2000s, it lost what it once had…..publicity. The truck, alongside the others on the Shafer team, remained very dominant in the low profile USHRA sanctioned shows.
I get your point, but it would have still been nice to see Shafer trucks on Monster Jam. I know things like the Jamboree Nationals were televised a few times, but it's not the same.@@AustinStre985
Fun Fact: The ride truck at 28:12 is featured in an episode of Hard Hat Harry about monster trucks. It’s that exact footage even. No clue if anyone even recognizes that show anymore but it was a pretty big part of my childhood.
The 2000 black and green paint job on the dodge ram body is this trucks absolute BEST look of all time, as well as the orange and purple chevy body The 2 greatest "Monster Patrol" paint jobs of all time You should do a video of the evolution of "Carolina Crusher"
10:15 Thank you Jackson for featuring a photo of mine. That particular photo is from Seattle Kingdome ‘99- just like the video immediately after- BUT the photo is of the 2nd day that was NOT televised
This made me happy to know the history of the truck. Was always curious what happened with a lot of the trucks I grew up with. Now I know. Fantastic video and thank you for the hard work for this video
i wish i could find gif's of this monster truck....with the lights going of course....the one's that spin(main choice) then 2nd choice would be the one's that flash....
I didn’t know Sherry Harwood drove Boogey Van in 2002! Also, you mentioned that Jesse Bass drove Monster Patrol to a freestyle win in Houston in 2002. Who won the racing competition that night?
The only time I saw monster patrol live was in Kansas city kemper arena late 90s and it was blue. I didn't know it was regularly green until a year or two afterwards
Respect to the Monster Patrol name 🫡💪

This was a good video. But the real question is. History of Bearfoot when?
That might be hard considering it's 40+ year history, but I'd absolutely love it
