    "what's this? Oh the gas pedal? And this, yea, that's the brake pedal". Genius.

      I thought the exact same thing, like seriously, have you never been in a car before? There's two pedals. (Not including the brace block) One makes you go one makes you stop. 😂

    I remember watching Monster trucks every day on a VHS in 1995-1996. I remember seeing Grave digger there. It was my favorite thing in the world. Much love from Bulgaria.

    Why didn’t I see this video before...I have no clue.
    Love the segment about monster jam university! I seriously hope I can apply and get accepted.
    *_even though I collected 32 weather alert radios over the past 3 to 4 years_* it’s been my childhood dream to become a monster jam driver. If I could enroll in MJU...I’ll be one step closer to achieving something I’ve wanted to be since I was 6 years old.
    I did get some practice in many games, maybe a simulator or two like BeamNG.drive with the CRD mod, and Rigs of Rods (mostly beamNG because ROR won’t work on macOS anymore), and I drove RCs for quite some time (check out East Coast RCs, I drove from 2012 - 2014) hoping I can apply those skills to real life!

    At 20:42 showing the "avenger" truck, I was at that show.
    It was held in Minneapolis Minnesota at the metrodome on December 7th 2013. It was the last show ever for monster trucks to be in that building before it was to be torn down for the Minnesota Vikings new stadium known as US Bank Stadium. So many memories

    great episode and i like how they said "biggest name in monster jam" not monster trucks when talking about grave digger. as bigfoot will always and forever be the first and biggest monster truck name ever, just didnt wanna sell away his name and brand to join feld. thats why i prefer jamborees over monster jam nowadays. all trucks made by one place, so its not even racing anymore its just hey let this teammate win, unless he breaks.

      Before monster jam, it was just the hot rod association which consisted of bigfoot, and monster patrol and even Grave Digger, of course bigfoot was the first monster truck but Dennis lead the way into monster jam, after agreements and terms, bigfoot dropped out along with a few others like Carolina crusher and monster patrol. They all went their separate ways when even bigfoot made his own association with snake eyes and a few others, Monster jam became number one though due to tours and traveling around the world a lot more vs. Bigfoot, making way as monster jam got bigger. Now you have legends from monster jam just like Dennis Anderson, Mark Macdonald, Lupe Soza, Tom meents, and even Tony Farrell (R.I.P) but I totally get what you're getting from and that's what the backstory was though mainly

    • @redkritter1225
      @redkritter1225 6 лет назад

      Five nights at Golden Freddy's Monster jam is very corporate and all the trucks are basically the same thin with a different chassis. So go to independent monster truck shows to have more freedom with your truck. Also, you don’t own your truck monster jam does if you sign with them. It’s better to have your own truck and go into monster jam, then start at monster jam and have your truck taken away after you leave. Jim did this, Cole venard, Jimmy did it.

      True, mostly because they wanted to do real motor sports. Not staged stuff. They do still tour and have shows. Bob also put a lot of work in designing the "modern monster truck" because he was concerned about driver safety.@Th3zombimaker8

      Trailblazer Story Bigfoot isn’t in the spotlight anymore. Grave digger is the truck that everyone loves now. I love Grave Digger, and if you ask a younger kid who the most popular monster truck is, they’ll say grave digger.

      Bigfoot is still King of the monster trucks, Grave Digger doesn't hold a candle to the king
      Grave diggers only popular because he's the big fish in a little pond. While Bigfoot races with the other Legends
      It's like if a MLB player is playing with the kid's Little League, his going to be the best player
