I'm not totally convinced UNLV would want to sell a completely paid off stadium that is still good for hosting tons of events in one of the busiest cities in the world... but even if they did, It's not like it would be a bad idea for FELD to buy it. I'm not saying they would or should, but they could easily hire on a few(dozen) more people and run the stadium year round themselves hosting concerts or whatever just as an extra means of income. I'm not so sure it would happen, but there are many worse things they could do with the money.

I read somewhere that those have been at the stadium for years as left over, but hey, who knows. Excited for whatever they come up with really.

Not to really give anything away, but after I had some pictures taken at the top of the stadium, a certain white bus was being pushed into thunder alley by a loader...

I woke up this morning thinking Cynthia Gauthier had got it. But I looked on YouTube, and I saw Earth Shaker on the thumbnail for a video. When I saw that it was the World Finals 18 Double Down Showdown, I was shocked.

I was confused as to how the heck the kid got it, but then I remembered; THE TRACK.

Knowing that Buddy Tompkins almost slammed into the back wall in Qualifying, Rosalee Ramer got a horrendous turn on one of her passes, and, out of all drivers, JIM KOEHLER got a 16.664, i knew the track was the reason why Tristan won.

Big congrats to him, and let's see if he can do what most YGS champs couldn't do; get a Round 1 victory.

Surprised nobody brought this up, but Coty Saucier is your Double Down award winner for WF XVIII. Nobody got a time slower than 17.500, so that's flat out impressive.

How could the track be responsible for certain drivers having bad passes, while simultaneously allowing other drivers (Jim) to do better than normal? That's not how that works. Buddy and Rosalee are both very new to the track and not very experienced, so it makes since that they would screw up a turn or something along those lines. Jim just finishes a brand new truck that he is debuting this weekend and it's not full of technology older than time itself, so it would make sense that he would improve. Is it too hard to accept than an underdog beat the favorite?

Did some stills for a change.

And they actually think that he's not doing something new this year...

You actually think for his 20th Anniversary that he wouldn't do something special?

Took me forever to figure out why There was just a giant blank space in your post for me. Then I realized it was that the Instagram account you posted blocked me for pointing out he was stealing my pictures ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's a tool.

Given how the team has reacted to pictures from their Sam's Town display being posted in the past, I feel like they wouldn't give Throwdown permission to do this if it were real.

I haven't seen anyone say this yet so I'll go ahead with it:

Madusa confirmed via Instagram that she will not be at WF 18 like Dennis and Tom. I'm not sure why, and I think it's a little odd. She also mentioned having a new career oppurtinity but I don't know what her next big thing will be. Im not sure if anyone will drive Madusa like Brianna Mahon did last year (she is driving Scoovt anyways). I could see Kayla Blood or Miranda Cozad getting it for the Showdown (if they're in it).

Monster Jam will never run Madusa again, she still owns the name and I highly doubt they'll come to an agreement to let it run. It seems like stakes are a bit high between Monster Jam and Madusa.

More competitors announced including my boy.

Basically past champions.

This is worth it for the music video alone. Seriously love this.

I'll tell you how I do that. Basically, I make sure my FSAA is all the way up (4 on my side, since I just have a 2011 ASUS K53E laptop, and sadly the integrated graphics card on this thing sucks badly compared to modern day graphic cards), then I spawn both the truck I want to take a picture of, as well as a vehicle that has a pitched inner camera (in this case, the stripped Gavril Bandit), and after I get the right angle set up, I move the camera to where I want the pic. After that, I floor it and time the snapshot just right, then the pic goes into Paint.NET, where I use the "Lasso Select" tool to copy the truck, set it on another layer, and then erase whatever is surrounding it. Finally, I blur the background and put the two layers together, as well as adding a little glow to make the picture all neat.

You've been dong this for a while so you probably already know, but there's an easier way to tilt the camera than to have to spawn a Gavril in. You can just use any interior cam but the the vehicle on an angle before you go into free cam. In other words you can just put one side of the truck on a low obstacle and go into free cam to achieve the same effect without having to spawn multiple vehicles.

Unless something has changed since I played RoR xD

Fun fact: Morgan actually appears to be giving me the finger here.

Almost finished with racing. Simple J hook.

I know I'm two days late on this, but this track actually makes me want to play the game again. Absolutely love it.

Thanks but the Scott Liddycoat thing, it says on Monster Jam website that he's not anywhere to be found, If you go to truck profile you don't see the truck, but you go to the driver profiles and see Jon Zimmer and it says Dragon as the ONLY driver.

Scott's still posting on his Facebook fan page saying he's gearing up to drive overseas this summer.

And welcome back!

Ok so Indy was awesome.

Tough trucks gone wrong.

WOW those Mitsubishi's take me back. I was 11 years old when they came out and now I'm in my second semester of college.

I'm old

Hate to make you go back to fix this one, but the cities were in a straighter font, not the rounder one that you have.

You mean sans serif'd as oppsed to serif'd? I have to agree. If you haven't rasterized all of the type layers, I'd change the typeface to an Arial or a Verdana or something similar. It would look better than the typeface that is there and flow better with the truck.

Looks like Larry Quick got pushed over the edge at a recent show.

Incredible commentary for an incredible save.

Here's a youtube mirror to  Kelvin's save with some excellent commentary.

No, it's not any type of metal at all, it's like a hard thick plastic like material.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's a piece of fiberglass from the body.
