Back at it again with the MTM2/RoR vids. I tried adding more effects to make it more like MTM2.

The thing is, the new stadium won't be done until the 2021 World Finals. In those 4 years a lot of things regarding that situation could and will change.

The Raiders are expected to play in Oakland for at least 2 more years and the stadium should be done by 2020. 

Here is a video with a Europe 2016 Blue Thunder I made.

Well, if UNLV moves into Raider stadium, I'd imagine the university would want to get Dam Boyd Stadium off their books since they'd have no use for it and would look to sell the land. If that's the case Feld could look at buying the land if they want to keep the Supercross finals and MJ World Finals there. However, I'm not sure if Feld would want to undertake the task of maintaining a stadium just so they could have two events there.

 

There's also the fact that the land may be valuable to developers, and if the land is considered valuable that could drive the price up and maybe make it not worth buying it.

 

If they don't I could easily see the World Finals vecoming something like WrestleMania, or the Super Bowl where they host it in different cities each year.

I don't know, the World Finals

has always been tradition I don't think they'll move it around. I could see it being moved the Glendale, Arizona. They have a  big floor and could most likely have the same racing style. And the new stadium won't be done until 2019 or 2020.

Does anyone know what chassis were used for these trucks:

Superman

El Toro Loco

Grave Digger

Mohawk Warrior

Thanks!

I recently figured out how to clone and whatnot and tried updating a few trucks. I'd like to upload some if the original creators are ok with it. Note some are not entirely finished.

The first is the Blue Thunder that was used in 2016 for Europe . I've updated the rims, shock clamps, and got rid of the Dalton Millican logos since I believe LeDuc didn't have them on the truck. This one is basically done. The next is Mohawk Warrior 2017. I've added flags, decals, and changed some shock colors to match what Bryce runs, but I still need to place an updated MJ logo on the side and make the rims. The chassis isn't updated and I'm not sure if I will update it. 

Why has Monster Mutt never had a dynamic, exciting driver for a long period of time? Trucks like Monster Energy or Monster Mutt Dalmatian have always had just one or two exciting or strong drivers for years (Candice was a bit slow at first but improved pretty quickly). Everytime they get a stronger driver in Monster Mutt, they're out in two years, like Ryan Anderson (given SUD was waiting), Wine, O'Donnell, Creech, Kenny, and Bryan Winston. They've had decent drivers for a while like Tarlton but never just one or two exciting, dynamic drivers for a while. You'd think they'd put their best drivers in one of the most popular trucks. I know this post is a bit unrelated but something I've been wondering for a while.

So Camden Murphy gets Rookie of the Year and not Sipes? Kind of odd.

My new highlight video of World Finals 18

Nice video! What did you use to record?

Don't get all excited yes they might start a new era which means new tracks maybe but then when they have the new tracks that means we're going to see he same track over and over and we'll be back to square 1 after the 1st year but if they manage to change the style then I'll be happy 

Something like 2007-2010 would be ideal in terms of track variety. There were about 3-4 different tracks that were used in each of those years and MJ added little changes to each that made it different enough.

What do you think the next "era" will be?

I can actually see something like super cross jumps coming into MJ, like those really big hills and insane buildup and those kind of things. 

I feel like Neil should've won. His run felt a lot more complete than Lee's did and the reverse backflip is impressive. But I can see why Lee won, that front flip was pretty cool and it's insane how he was able to land it.

Is the track slick? There's a lot of trucks rolling over just from turning.

That fountain makes for some really cool photoshoots

They just said judging is done by all the fans, so it's an average by the fans from judgeszone.com. How ridiculous.

They get professional judges who get a call wrong, everyone goes mad.

They get fan judges, and they do a bad job, everyone goes mad.

So they decide to let everyone help decide, and everyone goes mad.

 I love this guy, but I will start losing respect for him if he does that edgy move one more time. We all know dabbing is cancer, and we know it VERY WELL

It's just a dance move, calm down.

Jim Koehler dabbed....I love this guy

A lot of trucks not competing are having their own parade in Sam Boyd Stadium and I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE JIM JACK IN REPTOID

Jim Jack retired a few years ago. Someone else bought the truck but I doubt it is him with it right now.

There's times when it sounds like the announcers don't know what they're talking about. 

Does anyone know if they've increased police/security at the World Finals? There's SWAT teams and snipers in Las Vegas after the shooting today. I doubt they'd leave a highly populated event without more security after a shooting on the same day, but if they found the shooter then I guess they can have less. But still, the threat is there if they haven't found him yet.

EDIT: Apparently the suspect surrendered earlier.

I just realized that there's four retro body trucks at the TMTT show in Louisiana (Bigfoot, Basher, King Krunch, and Nitro Hornet).

Didnt World Finals 8-11 share many of the same car jumps? The weird jump with the step up on both sides was used in WF 10 and 11, and the box van/container/small bus jump was used in WF 7,8, and 10. The fountain jump in the middle of the stadium was used in WF 8 and 10, with the same thing being used minus the fountain in WF 12 and 13. Not to mention WF 12,13, and 14 practically had the same set up. WF 8 and 9 both had the same trailer jump, it was just swapped in 2008.

I see a lot of people complaining at the repition since 2015 (even I did a little), but the World Finals has reused ideas many times before (not just the last 3).

I like how there is more room between the two sets of jumps. I'm a bit disappointed with the set near the back stands, they've been doing that since 2015. I love the first set near the scoreboard, those jumps have grades that aren't as steep as the rest of the jumps they've been building. The fountain is cool, I like how raised it is. Otherwise the track is more solid than the last two years.

Rumors are, it will be a "vintage" or "retro" themed track for freestyle. Not sure how true that is, but it would be awesome.

We already have the fountain jump, so maybe it's a possibility.

I can get behind that Hot Wheels paint. It's loud, colorful and obnoxious. I think it screams Hot Wheels.

I agree; the older blue flame paint and the Firestorm paint are cool for Hot Wheels, but that paint probably fits the truck best.
