I just realized that the new HW cards for the monster trucks have a 25 under the Monster Jam logo for 25 years of MJ. I wonder if any promotional stuff is coming out.

The last high motor PEI that FELD owns was taken apart. This is the one that started on Pastrana 199 in 2005.

My first truck i'm going to even think about making public, paint done by me and truck put together by my friend Zman in 30-45 min to get a rough layout of what we want it to look like.Constructive criticism is always welcome

I'd try to get rid of the Avener Racing logo on the windshield.

Bummer to see Jon leave Digger. But, correct me if I'm wrong, Liddycoat's schedule hasn't come out yet... Or Steven Sims... I know some lineups say *Additional trucks/drivers to be announced* so would it be reasonable to assume that Scott and Steven are in fact driving this coming season?

Scott won the YGS so I don't see a reason for FELD to fire him. I only see him leaving by his own choice.

I guess Steven could go back to driving his dad's trucks again, but he's another young driver with a lot of talent. I guess FELD just has to announce their schedules.

I mean if I were an under-funded indie I wouldn't mind staying away from FELD because the tires are too expensive for what they are.

Besides, FELD is somewhat lenient about their tire rule. A bunch of indies didn't have BKTs last winter. I'm not sure if they've changed these rules yet though.

I like the look of BKTs but not the way they handle compared to older tires.

Ukraines and Firestones are pretty cool.

My first mod preview.

Alex jones here we go

started working on this as you can tell from my vent post about blender yesterday but i got it fixed and heres my progress from today 

 

I love watching newer members develop their track/truck making skills over time. Your tracks look better every time (not to mention you're making tracks from an era that this site does not make much content from).

The track looks great, but I'd update the stadium a little; some of your graphics seem a little blurry, like the crowd textures (can't tell if that's the texture or the screenshot) and the Orlando sign on the scoreboard. Nice work regardless. Don't forgot about little details like loaders, bobcats, etc. The more of those kind of things you can add, the more realistic your track feels.

Does anyone know a good, free video recorder? 

I have a bunch of autographs from 2010 to 2015. 

I have a few truck cards signed by Sean Duhon, Frank Krmel, and Paul Breaud.

At a Columbus OH show in 2014 I made a sweet Grave Digger poster for Charlie Pauken and he won freestyle. Of course he asks who wants a plaque and I waved the poster around and it caught his attention and I got a plaque. Pretty special memory I'll always have. When I was little I went to Diggers Dungeon and with all luck Dennis was there and signed a copy of Crash Madness for us.

Monster Nationals line ups just came out for 2017. It includes:

-Bigfoot (Probably Lucas Oil)

-Hotsy

-Tailgator

-Predator (Weird choice)

-Venom

Ballistic's also on the Du Quoin line up

 

Hopefully this means that Mark Hall will be able to drive for Monster Jam in 2017

I think Predator did some stuff with them in 2014. I don't see the shows being any better than last years considering they're down a Hall truck and a Bigfoot truck. Tailgater should do well though.

those look amazing chris 

also i finished pontiac but im probably going to go back and put in the 3 turning poles that i forgot to put in, also i have to lower the launch ramp into the ground, but expect this soon 

 

Nice work! I love how you bent in the dumpster that Grave Digger landed on.

If I were you I would add some extra things like loaders or bobcats but that is still a great track.

Is that the Prowler chassis?

is alex still driving cc

The comment says "he and Justin sipes are driving megladon

Mohawk Warrior now has a Great Clips sponsorship.

Can anyone confirm if Macey Nichter and Blake Granger (Kayla Bloods boyfriend I think) are driving for FELD now? They were in a pic on Instagram of a lot of new drivers pulling a monster truck with a rope. I don't know why FELD would hire the two, considering Blake does motocross (FELD doesn't pull as many dirt bike racers compared to other motor sports) and Macey doesn't drive as hard as these rookies are (I could understand if she drives more mellow with Stomper to keep the tick from breaking too often).

Do you spend your time researching various political topics and then think to yourself "Hey, I know little to nothing about this topic! Lets post it on Sim-Monsters!"

I have to admit to this. Whenever tensions arise between various countries I tend to to buy a ticket for the "WW3 Hype Train"

Checks and balances is great and all until all 3 branches are sweeped by a party. Republicans took executive, both houses of congress, and Trump gets the judge of his choosing. 

Im not saying that every idea Trump has will go straight through congress, not every republican is 100% like the other. I'm sure the Republicans in congress will disapprove of some of the bills Trump creates. There's also still democratic judges and representatives as well (but no majority does not help). Although I do expect a lot nicer efficiency in the US government for the next few years now that the branches have a similar majority between each other. 

I think this the first time the new Airborne Ranger has competed?

Anyways I'm not huge on the paint job. I like the grey but it's hard to read the black letters.

Becky McDonough also said on Instagram that there won't be a yellow ETL next year. I'm guessing this goes for the black one too.

Part 2 . I want to do more episodes, but the site lacks most of the tracks from the original game. I thought about doing some races on old modded tracks that people have made from the game (like PPRL Shootout) with either 90s trucks or trucks that people made from MTM2 (like demko's Bailout, etc.). If you like the idea, let me know. 

Sorry about the weird audio level changes as well.

Welp, in the words of Dennis there will NOT be a special 35th Anniversary paint scheme for him. He said this on his Instagram.

Unless he is saying that just to surprise people later one. I doubt FELD would actually not give Dennis a special 35th Anniversary body.

So what do you guys think about the US election?

yes please! This brings me back to playing this nonstop.

Thanks! I'm planning on doing a few more episodes!

Trying a new series here, hope you all like it!

From Kevin King's Fluffy Shop:

I'm liking the new look for 2017

I thought that that body was the side mold  of NEA for a second. Glad it isn't.
