I have to agree with this. I'd love to go back in time and go to World Finals 9 and see that track in person, or attend a stadium show from 2008-2010, but what we have now is just as good, if not better. This year of monster jam was one of the overall best in a long time I would argue, and I think it's smart to make progress and grow the company rather than to regress into the past.
Also backflips are such a double edge sword to me, like I don't want them to be much more important than any other move, but If I went to a stadium show and no one did one I'd probably be disappointed a bit...
