  1. Looking to start an iRacing league soon, would anyone be interested? NASCAR Cup Series cars, Saturday nights, 50% distance to real life.
  2. Announcements from Razin Kane Monster Trucks: -New 3D Xtermigator -New Ice Cream Man -New Razin Kane -Wolf's Head hinted to look different -SpinMaster will be creating 1:64 Wolf's Head and Razin Kane, and 1:64 and 1:24 Ice Cream Man -Buddy Tompkins officially returns, driving Xtermigator for a few Monster Jam stops and Razin Kane later in the year. -Jamie Sullivan has joined the team as a development driver -FTI Torque has a brand new chassis, built by RFC Fabrication
  3. I'm not gonna add anything to this but all I'll say is World Finals racing nights have always been much less sold than Freestyle night - I don't think an almost pure racing league would work.
  4. Miami 2008-2010, 2012-2015, 2018-2019 Sunrise 2009-2012, 2014-2019 Orlando 2016, 2019 World Finals XVIII Atlanta 2018 (both shows) Tampa 2019 (Show 2) World Finals XX Tampa 2019 (Amalie Arena, both shows) All-Star Challenge 33 Monster Jam shows in total
  5. That is definitely not the theme song for Soldier Fortune. It's Pentagon by Sean Murray.
  6. Imagine telling an athlete that drove all year for Team Grave Digger, earned a points championship, and represented Grave Digger for the entire season that they need to drive a different truck. They earned their spot in their truck, not in a different one.
  7. Welcome to the internet, this is normal. Also "pleb" is one of the lightest words you can be called. You're lucky they didn't bust out the racial and homophobic slurs on you.
  8. Quick note on the "Drivers on the stadium tours will be allowed to include donuts in their Two Wheel Skill performances.": Athletes will be able to choose whether they want to do a full 2-Wheel Skills run (two hits) OR a donut. We don't know if the competition will be renamed "Best Trick" or not just yet. I also want to know all of your thoughts on the power rankings that are coming back to MonsterJam.com. Scott Douglass used to do this a few years ago (I think the last year was 2012?) and now they're coming back weekly. Want to know what all of you think!
  9. Matt Cody took home the Overall Event Championship at the Saturday Evening show at Amalie Arena, his first since 2017. He said in his post show interview "Mike was riding with me all night, he was driving that truck as much as I was." Matt took home both Timed Racing and Speedster Obstacle Course wins, with a Donut win as well at the Saturday Afternoon event. He completed his first ever backflip in the Saturday Evening show as well, joining the elite group of driver athletes to have completed a backflip in an arena.
  10. I've heard from somebody at Monster Jam that the band that made the original theme didn't like them using it, so they made their own in-house. The theme is nowhere and probably never will be, sadly.
  11. Honestly the track looked like a stupid idea (IRL not yours) but in use it was pretty great. Could do moonwalks and stoppies like you couldn't with crush cars. Nice work, it's really fun!
  12. Make sure you get the accurate details on the rust that's formed on the cheap metal
  13. Nope, he had 12 prior to the 2-Wheel Skills championship. It's a championship, it counts.
  14. World Finals XX Champions Showdown Linsey Read Scooby Doo Racing Jimmy Creten Bounty Hunter 2-Wheel Skills Tom Meents Max-D Fire Speedster Racing Armando Castro El Toro Loco ATV Racing Blake Granger Max-D Speedster Obstacle Matt Cody Blue Thunder High Jump Cynthia Gauthier Dalmatian Ice Freestyle Linsey Read Scooby Doo Jimmy Creten is now a 2-time champ, Tom is a 13-time, Max-D has 14 total championships now and two more women champions. A weekend of history.
  15. As weird as it was, the all concrete show in Manchester UK actually kinda worked. The drivers were able to do more poppers than on just cars and from the clips on Instagram, it looked like they could get some bigger air. Would I replace dirt and the hybrid pad with it? No. Would I replace concrete and cars with it? Possibly.
  16. Last five for Main Field at World Finals XX: Justin Sipes - Megalodon Cynthia Gauthier - Monster Mutt Dalmatian Ice Morgan Kane - Grave Digger Ryan Anderson - Son-uva Digger Camden Murphy - Bakugan Dragonoid
  17. AB's right... completely different. We have a Hampton model but nobody's made a two lane hybrid yet.
  18. You want it to be seen as a serious motorsport and if they do what you're saying the sport would die from lack of funding. There isn't a proper answer and never will be, but prize money, just racing shows, and complex, overly lengthy racing courses is not what anybody (referencing regular people that don't have opinions about monster trucks) wants to see.
  19. Brother you just explained stadium super trucks. Here's a clip, you'll like these more trust me.
  20. Running costs, lack of sponsors, the fact monster trucks are more entertaining during freestyle... It's unethical to have just racing and prize money when bragging rights is even more important. Nobody talks about how much money athletes/drivers make. They talk about how many CHAMPIONSHIPS they have.
  21. Who provides this "prize money"? Teams get paid no matter if they win or not in Monster Jam and I would assume other indie shows, but indie companies have no money to offer as a prize because they barely make ends meet as it is. Again, you wan't something the sport can't do and won't do Who will go to a monster truck event to not see freestyle other than you. World Finals racing the past years was never sold out but Freestyle was. Do you want the sport to go in a horrible direction? It seems so. Edit: Not trying to be hostile, and haven't cursed or insulted at all. If this is hostile to you you should probably just stop talking to me 😂😂😂
  22. So go watch NHRA. Monster trucks are for entertainment along with competition, not competition sacrificing entertainment. You want something the sport wasn't designed for.
