in racing. not freestlye and yes thats exactly what i am saying i have been there myself and heard it with my own ears. Its not always GD or MD its who ever they say that night. back when I was doing this in the early 2000's it was rampant. Its one of the reasons why Bigfoot NEVER runs Monster Jam, because Bigfoot has integrity.

I have a very open mind but I'm not sold on what your telling me here! And this is why! Anybody that watches this stuff can CLEARLY see that GD,MD, and a few others out there are just way better drivers than the rest of gang!
Theres only a few out there that can run there vehicle on the edge, or have the balls to!!! And yes some its the $$$$ also. Oh and if what you say is true they would still kick all there ass!!! come on you have to see they just OWN?:shrug:

no i cant say that. These guys run more events than just the televised ones i have seen there trucks break (because they are poorly maintained) dealt with them on a personal level (Tom Meents is a total dick) and seen them win races because it was scripted like the WWF. That’s no respectable, that’s bullshit. Thats a joke.
Dennis used to be the real deal, he was always crazy. A hard working racer, then when he sold out his operations it was all down hill from there. (his driver Pablo is cool though)
In regards to skill/balls, more like lack of fear of hurting themselves or others. I have seen some of the old PACE trucks nearly flatten crew members because they pull so crazy ass stupid jump, trick etc facing the pits. I have personally had to run out of fear of a flipping truck.
That’s not skill, that’s not balls that stupidity and a lack of respect for others.
Choose to believe what you like, your seeing it on their TV show. I have been on the floor, wrenching on the trucks, in the drivers meeting and arguing with the promotor. i know what really went on since I was there! Some one cant make a corner knocks over a turning post, why? because they were not supposed to win that round. Mechanicals occasionaly screwed up the brackets.

hmm..well i like to see the idiot hill billies destroy their trucks i understand that these guys pay their own tab, but something about twisted metal and carnage makes me tingley in the pants :lol: I rather see them fuck stuff up and do dumb shit for my entertainment :lol:
Just like a normal day at work, Orchard lake road is pretty busy, I run when I hear horns blaring and tires screeching! :lmao: I've witnessed a few accidents right in front of our shop and for some twisted reason I love it!

ahhhhhhhhhh ok
A local driver I know who built his own truck wanted to run in one of the "Big Shows" and was told he could only compete if he flipped or wrecked his truck at least once during the event. It was in the contract they asked him to sign. Since he paid for & built the truck himself he told them "no thanks".

some one arguing the integrity of monster truck racing is like someone arguing the integrity of pro wrestling

Funny you should mention that and unknowingly make my point
monster jam has destroyed minster trucks credibility. The same way the WWF did to wrestling
wwf= monster jam
Olympic wrestling= bigfoot and several other legit trucks
both the WWF and monster jam de-legitimized their sports
same fan base too. Hmmmm coincidence?

I had this truck when I was a kid. I loved it and played with it in my sandbox all the time. This is what I think of when I hear "Bigfoot".
The old pics on that site are great.

I went to the spin off monseter truck thing at the palace and ghost rider was there, I looked at that truck up close and that truck WAS BEAT bad. I guess that is to be tring to flip your truck all the time. He had that as a truck first and thought it was to heavy so when that video was shot at that fair they stripped it down and lightened it up and flipped the truck. That is what the guy told our group.
