I'm still accepting money for lenses. On a serious note, I finally got to do a monster truck event with my new camera. I love it. You hate it. Others feel indifferent about it. I've run out of ways to make these posts interesting. There's cool things in this link

I don't think that whole press release was necessarily true, I think it might have all been an elaborate ruse from the poster. Either way I ain't mad. Either a really good prank or a really good tour. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Took me a full hour to get the joke but I got there.

Remember that BKT announcement teaser they started showing at Vegas? It's May 30th. This is what happened.

Video doesn't exist of it anymore but Morgan Kane hittin' the dab right after his win. Classic.

Yeah, I edited on a very high density and can go through up to 2,000-3,000 pictures from a day of shooting (I'm not kidding). Since this typically happens between 11 PM and 5 AM, the high pixel density and my extreme fatigue can miss some things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That being said, none of those shots ever make it onto my website or into my actual portfolio.

I know I post a lot in here, but I'm actually really proud of and excited about these shots I got last weekend. I had a media pass at Redbull Global Rallycross in Louisville, and got a brand new camera not even a week ago. I got some great shots and I would very much appreciate it if you guys would look through them all. Links will be at the bottom of the posts as always. Thanks!

And people mad that a modern version of the USHRA Superbowl of Motorsports is happening, something countless people have said they want.

It's only in then and now currently. so it's still got a little bit of sketchiness to it but if someone legit faked this I would just be impressed honestly. https://www.facebook.com/groups/monstertrucksthenandnow/permalink/1450971614982991/

As bad as it looks, it should be fine. No frame damage seems to have been done at all, and that's mostly what Bigfoot retires it's trucks based on. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they retired a truck soon, I think they still have one or two trucks that are over 20 years old in their fleet that run events...

In Indy Coty has been replaced by Sims on the site, but he's still in Houston.

Beauty. Poise. Luxury. Missing center wheel cap. Posted it before but new pictures

Rednecks like talking to you if you have a camera. Especially if they are drunk, wearing skin-tight, booty short length overalls, standing on top of a RZR. This is only one of the things I learned from this day. Album or whatever https://www.facebook.com/pg/MasonRunkelPhotography/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1312406972199934

No it wasn't. He literally said it was because he couldn't afford it. Zane Rettew is the absolute last person on earth who would lie about FELD forcing him to do something. Here's proof Stop mindlessly blaming Feld for everything you don't like.

Someone asked Zane on FB is Monster Jam made him do it Anyway, he said he's been running his hardest and rolling a lot, and that the tail is expensive. This is cheaper.

Where'd you find this, and do you know what event(s) this is for?

Oh I am so going to this. This is a fantastic lineup

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...

It's said that since The site had the massive update to it, and I'm pretty sure the rule was in place before then even. It's nothing new.

Awesome to get a group photo of the team. Except Danny, He couldn't be there, so we improvised with another bald guy.

The Jamboree line-up is out, but I don't see it here yet so I'll go ahead and post it. Lima and Bloomsburg will have: General Tire driven by Dale Gerding (Smashasaurus/Big Dawg) Bigfoot driven by Larry Swim Tailgator driven by Doug Noelke Snake Bite driven by "Vinny Venom" Stinger driven by Zane Rettew Master of Disaster driven by Paul Strong Indianapolis will be a bit different: General Tire driven by Dale Gerding (Smashasaurus/Big Dawg) Bigfoot driven by Larry Swim Tailgator driven by Doug Noelke Snake Bite driven by "Vinny Venom" Dirt Crew driven by Jerry Beck Quad Chaos driven by Aaron Cain They're good as event lineups, but as far as Jamboree's go, six trucks is pretty lackluster.

I'm so glad to promote such an ingenious human being.
