What is it with Metal Mulisha and big air in Anaheim?  Two years in a row now they've gotten HUGE air at the last show there.

The one obstacle I would like to see is a car wall like the ones used in the Mr. Destruction stunts. 

 

If I was in charge of designing the WF racing course I'd have the drivers loop around funboxes halfway through the straightaway, then speed to the final turn and make the jump. As it stands, I think that the one turn at the end is unsafe and boring. 

 

For freestyle, I think it would be cool if dump trucks brought in different soils from different venues that Monster Jam went to. It'd add variety and it'd look cool too. Maybe some water could be sprayed in the middle to make some mud. xP. In terms of obstacles, I'd have a long double on one side with a ramp to launch over it near the turn, but no other dirt ramps on the double stacks. There would be a rock wall on the other side of the center FMX ramp instead of a dirt step up. On the opposite side of the double there could be a very steep ramp facing the opposite sideline consisting of two school buses, one on its and one upright. In the middle of the course there would be a long tabletop which extends to the 50 yard line where campers and other breakable objects could be placed. The scoreboard end zone side would have a shipping container positioned parallel to the tabletop in the center and filled with dirt. Crush cars would sit on either side of the container and scaffolding would be placed on top. The empty spaces on the track could be filled with vehicles as the night progresses.

I like the different terrains idea but I don't know how most fans would react to it.  I think some would just find it pointless or weird-looking.  Plus, the track officials sprayed water in the middle of the track at WF11 and it just turned into a watery mess.

Then again, this is Vegas.  No matter what Feld does, they're gonna get criticized by someone.

Please not a backflip ramp, the best part of the finals was the trailer jump

 

I hope they bring back sone of their lunacy and start putting random campers on things like they used to in a lot of tracks, not just the world finals.

Yeah, that used to be my favorite part of Monster Jam, the motorhomes on top of the tallest ramps on the track and the unique obstacles like boats and trailers still on their flatbeds.  Or like in WF7 when the one side of the track turned into a giant pile of debris due to all the motorhomes destroyed.  I don't know why that slowed down.

Don't forget what happened with a certain backflip last year.

 

 

AKA WF11.

 

Should be interesting, I'd personally love to see a mix of old school WF tracks with some new stuff.

I was actually thinking about that as well, maybe a triple on the right, a container/trailer jump in the middle and something original or recent on the right.  That would be glorious.

What kind of obstacles do you think Vegas should have this year?  I personally just want the track to be different from the past two years.

I think it's a better racing style than Chicago but I also think it effects the freestyle course a bit.

just noticed Zombie has blood on the tires

 

that's a neat touch if i'm honest

Yeah I noticed that this last weekend as well.  I don't like the design but that was pretty smart.

I think this could have been saved if Jim hadn't been shut off.

Even if George had raced, I think the outcome would've been the same. George is a good racer and all, but Marc McDonald could win a racing championship someday. Still, pointless call to give Marc a bye. I would've liked to see the race anyway...

Joey White

Tom tried to do one backflip at WFX and did one and a half. If he's going for a double, he might get three.

What is it with Grave Digger and side donuts lately?

Jeez, Ryan just can't get a break. Anyways my prayers go out to him and I think we all wish him the best.

That moment when the guy who was shoved to the side and thrown back in as a replacement for deegan is suddenly on top of the heap...

Yeah, though this is only his second year driving he's a real threat in racing and freestyle. This proves it in racing and come on, his jump in Anaheim just speaks for itself.

Jeez, the 30th Anniversary Body is unbelievable.

Yeah, a lot of people were thinking that the middle jump is shorter than it's been in past years, it's really not. The racing lanes are almost 10 feet tall.

I agree with you Casey, but I think Dennis has a better shot this year of winning the FS title than ever before. Like Scott Douglass said in the odds, it's been Dennis' dream to win racing and freestyle at the same World Finals. That being said, if he does win racing, he could easily put down the freestyle of his career with a little luck.

It's similar as last year, but it's not the same. The backside of the racing lanes are a bit taller, the ramp closest to the photographer is different, and the obstacle at the end of the track isn't a jammer anymore. It looks like the fountain. But I still think it should have been a lot more different from last year.

I put this clip in the 1st Quarter Monster Truck Thread, decided to put it here too since this one seems to be seen more. This is arguably the save of the year. Yes. Even better than any of Neil's. Just watch.

Don't get me wrong, Dennis' saves were amazing. But Chuck Werner just got into Neil territory when it comes to saves. Just watch.

Feld got it right. Something wouldn't be right if LeDuc wasn't in this. He's gonna be one of the best drivers out there.

Two new young guns shootout competitors.

Razin Kane - JR McNeil

Titan - Donald Epidendio

You can't be serious..... only way Neil would fs Max D is if Tom couldn't walk, even still I think he would drive the truck

Yeah, you're right Casey. But it would make sense if he drove Hot Wheels, right?

Neil should drive Hot Wheels. He's been having an amazing season, and he's driven in the Hot Wheels truck at WF before. Or maybe Tom will drive Max D in racing and Neil will drive in freestyle...
