It's official.

Here's to over 30 years of amazing moments and memories from this guy right here.

Thank you, Pablo Huffaker.

Didn't know they ever did that O.O kinda surprised they didn't mention how certain moves are done (saves, bicycles, etc.)

Kaylyn Migues took her first ever Overall Win last Friday night. Pablo Huffaker drove Grave Digger for the final time last night (Saturday) in Florence. If this is really the end for him, he was truly a spectacular driver, and will always be remembered.

Rosalee tried to go for a backflip but was shut off when she was about to hit the ramp, as the time ran out as she went towards it. Not sure whether or not to call it a bad call on the officials' part with today's judging and all that, since most of the fans would likely count it regardless.

Time Flys will probably be out for the entire night in Santa Clara tonight; Kelvin confirmed in his interview that something got clay inside of it (forgot which part it was but I'll edit after the preshow; clearly it was something major), and it needs a complete rebuild.

EDIT: Apparently Kelvin broke a connecting rod that locked up the motor in his truck, and something around the cam sensor got clay inside of it, which caused the truck to randomly shut off on him last night in practice. Due to this it may not be able to run tonight.

Devastator will once again be driven by Aaron Basl tonight in Santa Clara. Still no confirmation on whether or not Mark Schroeder will definitely return for Salinas.

Huh, Chad Tingler in Megalodon is a surprise. Also surprised Chuck Werner isn't on that lineup.

Monster Jam will be heading to Chorzow, Poland for the first time since 2009 on September 22.

Lineup: Grave Digger (Morgan Kane), Megalodon (Alex Blackwell), Zombie (Alx Danielsson), Max-D (Neil Elliott), Monster Mutt Dalmatian (Candice Jolly), Monster Energy (Todd LeDuc), El Toro Loco (Marc McDonald), EarthShaker (Colt Stephens), Dragon (Jon Zimmer), Scooby-Doo (Linsey Read)

Looks really good. Linsey in Scooby is interesting, and so glad Marc's back in El Toro.

A bunch of dates just got announced: https://www.monsterjam.com/en-US/news/shows-added-2018-schedule

Sunrise, FL will be getting a dirt track for the first time.

Bryce. Frickin. Kenny.

He ended up taking his first ever Stadium Freestyle win. Very happy for him.

Dunno if anyone already mentioned this but I'll still do it anyway; Buddy Tompkins will be driving Stone Crusher this weekend in Syracuse, next week in Chattanooga, and April 21-22 in Columbus. Steve Sims returns to it April 28 in Moline.

(I know I'm really slacking on the bandwagon ;-;)

So with what is now a huge load of trucks and tracks being compatible with 0.4, I've now come to the point where I'm considering upgrading to a version in 0.4.

I've heard good and bad things about each version of it, but which do you guys think is the best to upgrade to?

why doesnt chuck ever actually get a chance

I realized a factor in a World Finals berth; Driver's Choice, meaning that a driver can choose whether or not he/she accepts the invite if offered one. That could've been why.

After looking at Rosalee's massive leap again, I found out that she had almost FOUR SECONDS of hang time there.

And now I wonder how Ryan and Camden are gonna react to it on the broadcast.

Well before I bid farewell to this beautiful thread I made, I'd like to give my thoughts on everything.

Double Down Showdown: MUCH better than last year. Glad that Cory won. Ami beating out Mark in Round 1 was a jaw dropper. Quite a few wild rides but in the end it was great.

Racing: Never have I been felt more shaky with a World Finals Racing bracket than this. I was stunned when Bari beat Tom and Neil, and really hoped Marc would win. Nice Digger vs. Digger finals and glad that Adam took another win.

Freestyle: Wow. Who would've thought that what we all thought was going to be a great Freestyle competition turned out to be as awful as 2016. Very few competitors filled the clock, and those who did only really got somewhere in 7 or 8. At least there were a lot of wow moments, such as Ryan's moonwalk after a backflip, Rosalee getting HUGE air, and Charlie's sidewall slide. In the end, I'm just thankful that the winner was the right guy, and this time, without a doubt.

Encores: Man oh man. The Max-D 15th Anniversary Encore was a disaster, but the Rampage encore definitely made up for it. It was confirmed that Tom Meents was in George, and came SO CLOSE to finally perfecting the double backflip. Not sure who was in the other trucks but it was cool, especially with over 50 trucks flooding the floor afterwards.

And now the long wait until the action returns begins. Two long weeks, folks. Two long weeks....

LOOK AT THIS

WITH A 9.182, YOUR WORLD FREESTYLE CHAMPION IS RYAN ANDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cory takes a huge splash

Almost sidewalls but no good; gets a 5.858

WHAT A SAVE BY JUSTIN SIPES!

8.530 for Justin Sipes.

Colton scores a 7.188 to start off, while Cole follows with a 5.440.

BJ JOHNSON ATTEMPTED A CORKSCREW AND SAVED IT; TAKES THE LEAD WITH A 7.571

Someone on Instagram said that the Box Van jump over there is steep enough to do a forward momentum back flip. I knida agree. And we know Tom's coming in with vengeance after last night's poor turnout and encore (in terms of landing the trick. The rest of the encore was great). Wouldn't be surprised if he went for it.

sigh I jinxed myself again....

The first guy out in Freestyle tonight will be Colton......wat

Well they kinda prevent someone from wrecking cuz they clipped that jump. But other than that idk

Thinking Justin may go out first tonight.

Ah I see. Comparing with the encore last night it doesn't look nearly as steep. Thank goodness.

Well, Feld has me impressed.........for now.

Also, plz tell me that Mutant ramp in the back is a backflip ramp, cuz I'm honestly a bit worried about it.

Okay so that's one good sign so far. Hope for more.

Max-D's 15th anniversary, and what we got was one of the worst encores ever. Just wow.

Let's just hope the Freestyle encore is better.

WAIT A MINUTE

WAIT

Okay time for an honest note
