I lost interest in the monster trucks when they started putting those fruity-assed bodys on them (What's the one with the bull horns??, or the one with a clenched fist on either side??) WTF :confused:....The freestyle is pretty damned cool though

The original Bigfoot was the best one if ya ask me..

Remember the movie "Take this job and shove it" :D

Just got off work and saw the last couple trucks, It was the most aggressive driving I ever seen. Must be nice to be able to go out and totally destroy a $100,000+ rig and not give a shit.

Some of the trucks do look pretty stupid :rasta:

You gotta have a fat hairy set of danglers to drive those trucks like they do.

I like checkin out the four link setups and hydro steering...

I usually don't watch monster trucks anymore, but today I was visiting my step dad and we ended watching it after car and driver. Once that short chick took the show everyone started to drive totally nuts.. Goldbergs truck got high centered on a pile of rubble after he was driving around with a blown bead.

Then Grave Digger was up and tried jumping over Goldbergs truck.. The guy that drives Grave Digger said he had 4 trucks in the back so kept dishing it out. One of the other trucks tried to drive over one of the Grave Diggers since it was disabled lol.

There was one that blew a bead and parked ontop of one in the corner and it flexed pretty well.. Over all it was a kick ass show and I'm glad I caught it. :eek:

i think you guys are talking about the World Series II. the third one is this March in Vagas. i'll be watching for sure. i was thinking of getting tickets to go but it sold out 3 weeks after last years show.

there are a few BB on monster trucks, you should have seen the cry babys saying how the free style was "making monster truck raceing look like a freak show"????

A freak show? What are they, on crack?

It's awesome. I just wouldn't want to have to pay the repair bills on those trucks after the freestyle.

Man, that must add up but they more than make it up on the merchandising they get out of it

there is a interview with Dennis Anderson in the Nov. Penthouse. he talks about what it cost to run a full year. he said he makes about 1 mill. per year but it takes about $750,000 to do it.

At least the freestyle results arent fixed :rolleyes: Hmm I wonder why so many of Goldbergs competitors spin/let up in the finals Hmmmmm... If they can't even make it around a corner how did they make it to the finals??? Also if I remember right Tex(who is an orginizer of mud drags) verified that it is pretty much rigged to give a more even distribution of the $$$$ and get more trucks there. Oh well I really like freestyle so they can do whatever they want to get more people involved. Any one else think it would be bad ass if they added other opsticles other then a row of cars? well at least at the big Domes they could add something a little different.
