These were the glory days of Monster Jam
Agreed
Bailey Larkin best era of Monster Jam
Bailey Larkin and then 2015 came along to ruin it
Bailey Larkin AGREED
I cant agree eith you more oh my gosh!
Neil Elliott and Tom Meents are incredible and this proves it! Hot Wheels is a truck I miss with Neil driving and the old name of this truck always strikes a chord. They brought out another obstacle and he leaped it! The professor, now 12-time champ, Tom Meents and Maximum Destruction!
Do you remember the truck High Roller? It was the truck Neil Elliot drove before it was changed to Hot Wheels
@@JackTheripper911 Of course I do, did you know Bulldozer was made and driven by Tom Meents before any of those Futuristic SUVs?
@@sivanlevi3867 Yes i did know Tom drove Bulldozer, he also drove Monster Patrol! That is where he really got his big break and was able to drive for Bulldozer and whatnot after his stint in Monster Patrol. Its so impressive seeing how far Tom has come along!
@@JackTheripper911 He was also a mud-racer back in the eightys, and up until his career in Monster Jam, no one rivalled Dennis Anderson and Grave Digger in popularity.
He's now the 14x Champion with the exception of Skills challenge and Freestyle! I didn't expect him to double down after 2 decades ago...
Now's it's the 20th Anniversary of Max-D and the old body style returned!😊
What a fantastic character for the Monster Jam World. Dennis Anderson vs. Tom Meents, in my opinion, is one of the greatest rivalry in sports history period. Two fantastic, incredible competitors who gave it their all every. single. night.
Personally, I wish that Dennis Anderson won Freestyle in 2006, if he did, then he would’ve have been the 2nd to double down at the World Finals
@@JeffreyBarkdull Dennis was probably going to win that night if Tom didn't jump over his own truck. Tom didn't get as many hits during his run as Dennis did, though he did have the better moves.
Yeah but I still wish that Dennis Anderson won it all in 2006 Helvigster, If he did he would’ve been the second driver to double down at the world finals
Dennis Anderson battling against Tom Meents in the early 2000s... man that was such awesome stuff. Monster Jam was a huge part of my childhood.
And they respected each other so much
I was there I was 6 years old this run was insane by far the Golden age of monster trucks not dirt hills in sight all crush cars and containers and other actual obstacles all good things come to an end though sadly
Yep, gotta agree. I re-watched my dvd collection of the world finals 2003. Such an amazing enjoyment to see all trucks doing all kinds of crazy stunts. My childhood was Monster Jam and it's sad that it is no longer as good as it once was.
Rest In Peace golden age Monster Jam😭
But it could be revived in the future @@TheHatGuy1500
@@holyfists7765 you can watch Monster Jam World Finals 2 2001 on chrome monster jam freestyle full video of it. Also, you can watch the monster truck in at or Facebook on chrome Monster Jam World Finals 4 2003 has the full event racing and freestyle
@@holyfists7765 is there a reason for why it's not as good?
Well, at least Neil Elliott did something during the freestyle competition.
@Deidre Shultz That jump was awesome! But I was just saying that because sadly, Neil Elliot's Hot Wheels couldn't return for freestyle due to a mechanical problem in the first semi-final race, which is a shame since both this event and World Finals 8 marked the only appearances of the 2006-2007 Hot Wheels paint job.
BTW, sorry for the late reply, but RUclips didn't notify me about your response for whatever reason.
And he drove Max D in the encore
@@davestarkiller8905 Yep, that was fantastic!
Q
I still remember running through the house half naked when dad says "monster trucks are on!" Don't even think I was dry
Who remembers when monster jam was wicked hella awesome
Blame the Deaths in 2010 for the death of the Golden Age
@@JeffreyBarkdull I didn’t know that. What happened? I do know that when Tony Ferrel left us it’s when something really bad happened to monster jam
To be honest, @@tigerguy1013, I'm not sure myself, but I think that it may have something to do with the following: ⤵
The Removal of Crush cars from Monster Jam and Subsequent Controversy
Since the mid-late 2010s, Monster Jam has been criticized for their slow departure from using crush cars, instead utilizing tracks consisting almost entirely of dirt ramps (as well as tire ramps). Nowadays, Monster Jam almost never uses any form of crush cars are their events. There are a handful of key reasons as to why Monster Jam has moved away from using crush cars. One reason for this is that it saves money and time when creating the course and tearing it down. Another reason was for safety concerns, as shrapnel and pieces of car have been thrown 40-50 feet in the air during some freestyles and occasionally into the stands. Another reason is also that the drivers tend to prefer mostly dirt tracks. Over the course of a show, cars and vans will be crushed down, which can cause some racing lanes/obstacles to be lower and flatter than others. On top of this, cars being crushed down provides an unfair challenge to some drivers during freestyle, as the first drivers get fresh, untouched obstacles, while later drivers get flattened obstacles that do not allow for the same moves or "wow" moments earlier drivers could accomplish.
Early on during the departure, Monster Jam would continue to utilize free-standing crush cars, crush cars embedded in certain obstacles, and even attempted the Wall of Steel stunt with Maximum Destruction in 2016, showing that they were still open to including them in their events.
In September of 2016, Monster Jam made a further refinement regarding the use of crush cars when responding to comments left on one of their Instagram photos, which was a photo of Scooby Doo crushing a set of crush cars at a speedway track. They stated that stadium and arena shows were designed to be dirt constructed, while speedway shows would remain car-based.
On February 15, 2019, Monster Jam announced the discontinuation of free-standing crush cars due to the concern of modern cars having more debris, which had been thrown into a tarped-off section of the stands at an event before the announcement. In May of 2019, Monster Jam performed in Manchester, UK, with a non-dirt track consisting of concrete blocks and road barriers as obstacles rather than crush cars. While this was meant to be a temporary alternative to crush cars, it was received negatively by most fans in attendance.
At the 2021 Atlanta Motor Speedway events, the track would feature numerous crush cars embedded in many of the freestyle obstacles, the first time they had done so since 2019. Regardless, there are no definite plans to re-include crush cars frequently.
Present Day - Future of Crush Cars
Despite Monster Jam being the most noteworthy example, many other promoters and events have also begun to move away from using crush cars over the past few years. This is due to many of the same reasons as listed for Monster Jam, as well as it being increasingly more difficult to find quality crush cars to be used in events. Series/promoters such as Monster Truckz, WGAS Motorsports, and Mega Monster Trucks Live rarely if ever use crush cars at their events. On the contrary, Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live performs concrete-only arena shows with tracks consisting entirely of painted crush cars, with the cars placed on tires for elevation and support. Regardless, most monster truck events continue to use crush cars in some capacity, albeit in a more reserved manner compared to years past.
Fatal Monster Truck Incidents
Natural High
On January 17th, 2009, at the Tacoma Dome in Washington, the truck Natural High was freestyling. Around the end of its run, a piece of the driveshaft came out, flew into the stands and struck six-year-old Sebastian Hizey, killing him. This incident would lead to mandatory colored driveshaft loops, SIR's driveshaft blanket system and was rumored to be the reason that the Captain's Curse racing crash from that year's World Finals has never been shown in official footage, in order to not garner any more controversy.
Samson
Exactly one week later in Madison, Wisconsin, after a race between Samson and Holman's Beast, Dan Patrick was driving the truck back into the pits when announcer George Eisenhart stepped out from a barrier and onto the track. Patrick did not see Eisenhart as he was beyond the truck's field of vision and was struck by the tire fatally. Unlike most of these incidents, this one was not seen as an error on the truck's part, as it was impossible for Patrick to see Eisenhart before he stepped on the track. It is believed George had come out to end racing and did not see Patrick.
Whatever happened to this absolute craziness? What happened to Monster Jam being this cool?
2014 was honestly the last good year before the entire sport changed completely
It all went downhill when FELD removed the cars. I like the big dirt ramps, but they should've continued balancing it with the cars.
@@cannibalfan333 Nah, 2015 and 2016 were good too. Heck, monster jam is still cool now.
Not really i remember they were STILL DRIVING WHEN THE TIRES WERE REMOVED now they stop them, probably cuz of what happened to that kid when a truck's piece came flying towards hes head@@rustymidlander05
these old tracks were so good, need more cars now a days.
No one does it better than Tom. He always runs it till it won't run anymore.
Gravedigger may be the fan favorite, but Max D is the greatest truck in Monster Jam!
Top best monster trucks are; Maximum Destruction, Grave Digger and sun uva digger
My favourite run in the history of the World Finals!
3:18 no Scott, those are Meentsclones
Still the most iconic Monster Jam freestyle of all time in my opinion
Nah watch the one from 04 I think it was. When his truck filled the entire stadium in smoke by the end of the run. You couldn’t even tell where he was.
My favorite World Finals track.
now how many of you think it was fair for him to bring his own obstacle out there. I loved watching him do it! but i'm like that isn't fair for anyone else
I agree, it seemed a little illegal, but it is what it is
It was fair game, any of the other drivers could’ve done the same thing but chose not to lol
this run was so insane
The first World Finals that Max-d used Doperide by Saliva
TOM MEENTS ROCKS LAS VEGAS!!!!
1:39 OHHH HE LEAPED IT best call ive ever seen while freestyling
Bringing your own truck out just to jump over it is a power move
I don't know which run is better now. This one or his run from 2013.
They’re on par with each-other. My opinion, this run is a teeny tiny bit better than the 2013 run, but 2013 had an incredible end.
When Bonus Time was still a thing
Adam's Wrestling Show There was no bonus time until they added it to the 2008 World Finals.
When monster jam was monster jam
I remember back when I was like 8 years old I went to see him. During his freestyle one of his front wheels came off and he still kept going without 1 wheel. He finished with a burnout just like in this video. Ever sense this truck has been my favorite.
Good Golden days i still remember this ah damn
IMO Frank Kremel in Del Scorcho or Charlie Pauken in Monster Mutt should've won the title, Meents's run was great but 1. It's not fair to the other competitors that you get to bring an obstacle out for yourself and 2. Tom didn't hit nearly as many obstacles as the other two. He spent more time course correcting than actually freestyling.
Dennis should have doubled down that year
Let’s go monster jam 2022 -2023
I remember the old truck he had and that was one of my nicknames as well in high school go big or go home
Man if everyone on Dora The Explorer and Go Diego Go watched Monster Jam like this they would legally know what Monster Jam is on Nick Jr
crazy how there is no flow whatsoever, literally just 10 individual wow moments in a row with a broken truck and it never flips
go Neil
Peter Mathis AZ
Salute for that rear steer controll 🇺🇸🕊🕊🇺🇸🕊🕊🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥
With all due respect to Tom, I can’t help but feel that Dennis should’ve won that year. Tom had to back up twice, and Dennis hit more obstacles then Tom. Tom did however fill the clock, and I have to give him props for that
I also feel like it was a bit unfair to bring a second Max-D truck to jump over and leaving just 5 seconds on the clock shouldn't have affected Dennis' score that much either
One of my favorite freestyle runs ever
Max-D
2014 in my opinion is the best monster jam year ever
2002, 2004, & 2006 for me.
73ACDC Films I loved 2007, 2008 and 2012
2014 was the last great year of monster Jam, not that's it's not great now but 2014 was really the last year of the old school, monster Jam we know and love
Neil won the Freestyle score 1
Ahhhaaaahhaha
Cool video
Very fascinating and wonderful jump of a Monster Merchanick Truck !!!!
wait till 2016 he jumps over 5 monsters truck
he already did it..
but that wasn't for competition lol
35
Ever since fox sports came along...
THANKS FELD 😡
Yeah thanks for ruining it FELD 😡
Good stuff
Dennis should have won because he only won because that second maximum destruction was parked there and that’s unfair
I think the reason why he won this was because he brought out his own obstical and cleared it
No, the clock started when he hit that giant box cart. And either way, his run was crazier then Dennis'.
this is around the time Max D started Using Doperide as his theme
now its good to see he didn't hit the camper because him and campers don't get along here lol
Is that legal!!
This is my opinion on this. I think bringing out another to truck jump in freestyle is cheating. That might be just me, but I don't care. Tom should not have won this. Monster Mutt should be the winner. That's how I see this.
But you gotta admit
Adding another obstacle on this hellish pile of rocks that littelary ended the run of every driver yet somehow still PERFECTLY landing it is crazy
flood my sub box why don't you.
