As far as tracks go, they really seem to hit their 'peak' from around 2010 - 2014. There were some great tracks, each show was different - not entirely, but enough to change things up at each show - and some amazing freestyles. Some of the obstacles were bigger, there were doubles to clear, and if I remember correctly not many injuries. Now I know this is an extreme example, but looking at this compared to 2017 it is almost night and day. 

Hopefully this is a bit of a blip in Monster Jam. 

All this being said, I have to give HUGE props to the independent teams this year. All of them are putting on really good runs and awesome moments. It's great seeing privately funded teams do what they do each weekend. That to me has been what is making this year really great to watch. It seems like more of them are pushing the edge more so than other years. Just one man's opinion..... 

I'm gonna agree with you on this, especially with the indies. It never really crossed my mind either how hard guys like Garner, Rummell, and Vaters run.

Also, Lindsey Reed is expecting to have her baby today (confirmed via Instagram)

Kind of feel bad for whoever was driving Midnight Rider, there wasn't really anything he could of done after the truck nose dived and the tie rod? broke. I wouldn't expect that kind of jump to roll a truck in that way as well. Also glad to see that Kaylyn is all right; that kind of impact on that section of the roll cage could of have some pretty bad effects (not just to the truck but to Kaylyn as well). 

Hey this last weekend has given our Silly Season thread an all around positive note for the first time in a while.

Okay I'll give this a shot:

Truck: Total Overkill

Chassis: Cohen or PEI

Body: Ford Superduty with racer back (no visor)

Hope Tom and Dennis will be back for Vegas. Hopefully that's why they aren't driving, so they can drive in the Finals. First year going to Vegas would suck without the legends.

They aren't driving because their injured. It would certainly be an odd finals without Meents and Dennis, but there are a lot more drivers who compete on their same level in Vegas.

Linsey won racing in Arlington and crashed into dumpsters along the side. He is ok though.

It's a little hard to tell from this angle, but make sure that the "Pressure Wahsers" text is italicized.

Damn so now both of the legends (Tom and Dennis) are sidelined by injuries

At least Tom's is minor according to MJ.

It's Kayla Blood's husband I believe (Might be brother, I always get that confused)
I think he is supposed to drive full time next season anyway.

No, you were right. It's her husband

In other news Dan Runte is the Vice President of Bigfoot (found on Macey Nichter's Instagram)

Don't forget Wrong-Way Rick out of the Obsession camp

Isn't Reverse Racer also from Swanson? Or is RR one of Pane's trucks?

knockoff of backwards bob, nice

It's still a knockoff but it's nothing new. Backwards Bob debuted first, then Reverse Racer debuted around 2012 if I recall correctly.

i heard the same thing as well

hopefully that's not true. if it is, i can only imagine how the fans would react...

If it happened he would have been fired on the spot.

What do you call a music stand that does good deeds?

Paul Cohen recently finished a new monster truck chassis. Any idea who it is going to?

hope you realize your tires are on backwards

YOU JUST MADE THE LIST! 

lol

 

People have already informed him of his tires being backwards time and time again. It's better to just let him be by now than waste our time by telling him things he won't fix.

What surprises me most is that those drivers are still able to put on a show. What I mean by that is, they travel from Orlando, Florida, go across the entire United States all the way to Toronto, Canada (some drivers who don't fly most likely lacking some sleep from the long drive), and put on a great show, stay up all night fixing trucks to the best of their abilities, and put on another show the next day. That says a lot about their commitment to keeping the fans happy.

suggestions/thoughts?

I'm just wondering, what had to be changed from Chris's Wrenchead? I'd like to see Wrenchead get a revamp; I just don't see what was improved with this version.

Wow Detroit is mostly indies but really good ones as I can tell, and yeah I realized that over bored looks really nice and performs amazing can't wait to see more out of it, also is Chris berguron (probably butchered his last name with my stupidness) still apart of mj? 

No. he retired after 2013. He still fills in for guys over the summer on occasion though.

what about LoiLo Game Recorder

I use that. Usually it's pretty solid, although sometimes the FPS stutters. It is very easy to use and setup, just install the recorder and hit the F6 key and it starts recording your screen. It also shows the FPS you're getting while you record.

To everyone saying Weenk has bad luck in Crusader:

He doubled down in San Antonio

CVH replaces Anderson, Leduc replaces Bradshaw, Matt Buyten replaces Leduc. No more news on the Anderson crash, but Monster Jam just said that he's not performing in Orlando. No news about future shows.

Please do not post information that has already been said

I don't like LeDuc driving ME. His identity has always been Metal Mulisha. It's like Blackwell not driving Captain's Curse. Just doesn't feel right. And I love the new Avenger.
