I was at this show and I remember how cool bear foot looked. I was a Bigfoot fan as a kid but man was it a great show! I still have my souvenirs from it.

Mike Galloway did a great job for a first timer! Very smooth and controlled.

[@bringbacknames]

This is so cool. I was there and remember the door falling off.

I remember going to the arena in the 90s and seeing monster trucks and mud bogs or sand bogs. Awesome shows indeed. They need to bring this stuff back. Monster Jam isn't what it used to be. Less car crushing nowadays and too many dirt jumps.

I keep replaying the same spot over and over when Fred blew to doors off I just love the sound of the engine

[@frankmatrau336]

i can't believe how close the crowd is to the action.

[@engineerpat5290]

LOVE THIS!!! My favorite trucks during this era are Bear Foot, First Blood Big Foot Carolina Crusher and Grave Digger!. Great drivers all around!

[@crazykellywfo4240]

BEARFOOT's jump on the cars was suspended animation. Never seen a truck do that.

[@brianchong4134]

Original freestyle! Awesome!

[@railyardfilms6491]

This was the best car crushers in ushra years

[@MrRockgod2011]

and this show was used for the monsters of rock n roar

[@dwp139]

When I was a kid and I saw Fred's truck go across the cars but not "crush" them in the sense they were known for at that time, it was weird. I look back now with my age and watch this and am like "those light tires and that light truck, no wonder the roof of all the cars wouldn't cave in."

[@thedevilsM45]

Man those tires bearfoot had bounced a lot. Neve quite got it down. By late 89 he had the traditionalterras back on

[@jeffjackson6329]

HAHA, man what about the floor announcer, he is standing right next to the trucks launching onto the cars! LOL

[@collinsnider4179]

Aaah, the good ol days

[@waynemoses651]

I thought there was two wheel drive truck pulling on this show, with Darth Vader, and i think the Oklahoma warrior!

[@bdoggie28]

This is Bigfoot #7.

[@skittlecar1]

Gotta love it. Still needed keys.

[@jasonpinkney188]

Yeah he was short by about a car length on the jump

[@MrMisterChiliPepper88]

well they have shoulder harnesses Mike only has the lap belts on I will admit that is really bouncy
