  2. I don't want to spark an argument here... but having been to a #MoreMonsterJam show, I really don't know what you are talking about. The new tracks, with numerous more hitpoints (12 ramps on the outside on the obstacle) and their multiple angles made runs, and momentum vastly superior to the previous arena show's I'd been to. 

     

    For example, Morgan's run on Saturday, the only part when momentum was an issue, was after a bigger jump than I'd ever seen at Freedom Hall (Save possibly Jeremy Slifko in 2010) and a save. The other runs didn't really have a lot of coming to almost dead stops unless it was a newer driver, or an instance where they'd gotten to far outside, which really happens at any show, even giant stadiums.

     

    It's all subject to opinion, but the #MoreMonsterJam track looked amazing to me, and the video's of prior weeks shows have really proven it to me.

     

    Freedom Hall has been the best MMJ show so far for sure. But as for Hampton and Des Moines it really lacked momentum big time. And as for the new arena tracks outside those, like Columbus. They didn't get as much air as previous years, and adding a donut comp was completely unnecessary due to the fact that Columbus's dirt is EXTREMELY TACKY. It was rather disappointing to be honest. 

     

    That Southaven track is IMO better than what I've seen so far from MJ arena wise. I know Monster Jam is still tuning their tracks and I respect that, its not all gonna come together in a flash. But there is definitely room for improvement. 

     

     

    Also those black rims, huge boner

  3. As far as I can see, Monster Jam arena tracks this year are better than anything anyone else has done at this point. Whether it be #MoreMonsterJam or regular arena shows.

     

    I disagree, hard to keep any moment because you have to nearly come to a dead halt every turn, I know that sounds like typical arenas, but with the new tracks its even worse

  5. Actually I got that processor on sale for 200 at Micro Center, I saw the specs and I was like why not?

     

    Plus I prefer Intel over AMD. I only got a Radeon because it was the best price and spec for the budget i was on

     

    And i've done comparisons with different GPU's through GPU Boss and I've decided that the best way to go is a GTX 980 because it has the best performance from what I've seen. But the 6970 will do fine for now till then since I'm not getting any huge titles as of right now
