Yo did anyone see one of these monster trucks do the double forward flip.
Jaw dropping stuff these trucks accellerate very well. MAX-D was the truck
driven by Meents and spikes all over it, awesome suspension.

Most of the other trucks snap off wheels right ,left and centre, this one can jump 50ft high land on its front wheels
and the suspension soaks it all up. there are about 24 trucks every event.
they do some scarey stuff and drive till they can no longer drive

It's crazy the punishment their trucks can take! My 4yo is obsessed with Monster jam, we went to see them at aami park when they came to Melbourne recently. Absolute blast, he's got a few of the trucks too

Did anyone see the Los Vegas finals I think, one driver was saying to himself what can I do that will be different?
SO,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he just floored it into the stadium and hit the first jump, they counted a good 4 sec air time.

I was talking to a mate about it the other week. I was amazed at the carnage those trucks go through, with wheels coming off etc. He was telling me about looking at them and talking to the teams about them..he was saying that a lot of them have deliberate 'weak links' so that while the amage looks bad (is a wheel comes off) its not actually that bad as they can just remove the bolts and bolt them back on.

@ Doka have you seen the Scandinavian Quarry trucks with Nitros injection.
These things can cross a river, and as you said have a weak spot so it does look worse
than it actually is.

Hi guys, I have embedded the video clips here for you, it's easy to do, when you want to embed a clip just grab the link and instead of using the URL tab at the top, use the one that looks like a film slide. Paste the URL and it will embed.

Enjoy
