Robertson Racing Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Overall Glendale was great! A lot of trucks had mechanical issues but definitely one of the better shows AZ has ever seen. Charlie Pauken won Racing and Two-Wheel Skills while Ryan Anderson tore the building down in freestyle. Such an awesome show! Can't wait for February!

TheRetroStyle Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 My thoughts on this past weekend's shows: Laredo, TX - Glad to see that BJ took a couple of Overall Wins in GMG's homestate. Each event was pretty dang good with everyone giving it their all. But if I may ask...what happened with the first half of the Saturday Evening show? GMG, Stallion and Overkill were out for Racing that evening, with GMG still being out Two Wheels, but returning for FS. But despite that, really good weekend for Laredo. Melbourne - Proud of Randy. He took an Overall Win on the Saturday Afternoon show against the likes of 4 top rank competitors (LeDuc, McDonald, Ellliott and Anderson), and on top of that killed it in Two Wheels and FS. The following show was just as good with Rhianna Buchanan once again proving to be spectacular in Two Wheels, and Anderson taking the Overall Win. Indianapolis, IN - Holy crap this show was bad, possibly the worst stadium show of 2017. Nearly every truck crashed or broke early in Two Wheels and/or FS, Avenger was out for Racing, and Mutant was out for Freestyle. And the scoring.....it was World Finals 16/17 all over again. Brutus only lasted about a minute through his freestyle and got a 7.255 out of it, while Hot Wheels lasts a minute and a half with no backflip and gets an 8.730.....what? If I do have to give some positive notes about tho, Two Wheels and Freestyle had a no doubt winner, and I was very impressed with Tony Ochs. But none of that makes up for how awful this show was overall. It was also announced that Crush It will be coming to the Switch on October 31, with Megalodon being added to the truck selection.

But none of that makes up for how awful this show was overall. Well as someone who was actually there I'll weigh in. This show was actually pretty great if you look at literally anything other than just the summary on MonsterJam.com. One truck breaking for racing and one truck breaking early in freestyle makes a bad show? That happens most shows, sometime even more truck break. Scoring issues? Brutus went out first and near moon shotted every jump setting a baseline for the rest of the night. It was on the way to a really impressive run. Hotwheels? First truck to match the air, and also had a backflip, I have no clue how you came to the conclusion he didn't have one. Look below: Tons of drivers gave it their all and put on a great show, I don't see how two breakages and you not understanding how the scores worked makes this the worst show of the year.

Stop assuming what a show is just because a couple breakages and a few scores. Ask around next time before you embarrass yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviathan Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 the three shows for Punisher were supposed to be Glendale, Indy, and Houston (this weekend). very cool for Houston to get this truck. it was delayed because of the shooting in Las Vegas. (Hence we got Black Ops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
