I’ve been to demolition derbies and monster truck shows in the 80’s where tractor pulls were part of the show, but not a pure tractor pull competition.
Yes, I had fun. It was back in the original Bigfoot days when monster trucks just drove over a few cars and everyone was amazed.

I still really want to go to the Mile of Mud in Florida and see swamp buggy racing in person before I die….but that means going to Florida in the summer.

My wife got me a monster truck driving session for my birthday a few years ago. Most fun driving thing ever!

Monster trucks rule.

I saw him do nothing that 90%+ great, "safe" riders wouldn't do.
Safe...riding isn't safe. Drivers are idiots that don't think or look out.

He may often ride like a crazed moron...just not this time imo.

80 in a clear lane is normal, but also admittedly illegal. That said, who would expect that moron to cut between cars, across two lanes at once, to cross a double yellow without looking or coming close to matching the lane speed? Not me. I would have monster trucked him in my Bronco and suffered no damage myself. ;-)

Bigfoot may have invented the sport of monster truck racing, but grave digger made it great with freestyle.
It doesn't get much more *motorsports

Nah, I just dislike hypocrites, but i'm probably expecting too much out of monster truck people.

Monster trucks are awesome!

I get lowering the centre of gravity, but wouldn't that also affect the clearance?

I don't understand the point of intentional drifting. Does it have anything to do with racing (when on a track) as in trying to have the best time? I assume its more like watching monster trucks or WWE wrestling. Am i wrong?

Not at all. Just watch any monster truck freestyle competition and you'll see clearly that even with the best equipment and engineers, they break nearly every time...except for the trucks that score less than 10 out of 30 points. If you aren't breaking some stuff, you aren't flying high enough or hitting that wall of cars hard enough. Simple as that. True enough, they often leave the big jump(s) for right at the end of their time, or even after time's up, knowing it may end with them driving a tricycle or worse....and then again, sometimes that doesn't slow them down much. It all depends on the truck's design and the driver.
When I did off road racing, I always put the sentiment another way. "If you aren't bleeding, you aren't really trying." I had my rear tire/wheel pass me numerous times after a hard jump. It just happens. Even chromemoly is only a little stronger than regular steel, and stub axles only come so big. It's one of those things where you just have to make the weak point an easy fix, because there's always going to be a weak point.

...but if you were talking about his 4x4 truck, not monster trucks....never mind! :-)

Driving off road in a 4wd != monster trucking

If you drive a 4wd in the wilderness like a monster truck... well, you're probably gonna die.

And if you're driving a monster truck in a safe and sensible way that doesn't damage the track you're on.... you're doing it wrong

Lesson number one in Monster trucking. They're expensive and the they break often.
