2004 Tom Meents is my favorite of all time. No amount of backflips or two wheel stunts are cooler to me than just wrecking everything in sight, literally driving the truck into the ground and filling the stadium with smoke. It’s when maximum destruction truly lived up to the name.
The best Tom Meents runs were always the ones where he was fighting a broken truck and absolutely ran it into the ground as a result, and 2004 epitomizes that.
I really miss when FELD cared about Monster Jam. Tom Meents destroying everything on the track and fighting a broken truck is what Monster Jam is supposed to be, and it was deemed safe back then, so it should be now. Maybe one day they won't be scared to turn it back into what we're missing.
Honestly, I would’ve put Avenger at World Finals 4 a bit higher. It paved the way for the big air we see in freestyle today, and made Jim a name on the caliber of Tom Meents and Dennis Anderson
I would say Linsey should be a bit higher, Lee should be a bit lower, and Tom in 2023 should be higher. I know the frontflip was cool but the entire run before it lacked any momentum, and one hit isn’t enough to put it too high up for me, which is also why I don’t think it should’ve won. Linsey had decent air and a great wow factor so I believe she could be a couple places higher. And Tom I just think had a lot of consistency and a more unique wow factor than others
Same honestly, also fun fact, that reverse move up the semi trailer was a reverse back flip attempt, Lyle said this on a interview at mini to start the next season, if there was a car in there it probably would have worked
Rewatching Lee O'Donnell's front flip will never get old
Like this comment if Charlie Pauken should've won World Finals 16
100%, if he won that year he would've probably cracked top 5
Him or Ryan should have won
I agree, but his momentum was hurt from truck issues, so the judges may not have liked that.
Bruh goofy like beggar💀

I see your point but that is probably my least favorite Meents run. 06 is my personal favorite
@@gojiman1649 2001 is my personal favorite, the cyclones 😍
Not to mention, he was the only truck to fill time that year

Most of the freestyle runs were amazing overrated underrated and awesome but some of these runs did not deserve their win

@@TheClyque the frontflip was overrated when Jim and Neil’s run was better
Then the fan judging robbed Cole
Yeah I agree with both but I was ranking it by winning runs not all runs from the one wf
Wf 15 should’ve been 1st
