80's Monsters and Mud Boggers - Bigfoot Record Setting Jump (56 feet)

Way before Dan Runte was setting records jumping Bigfoot, there was Jim Kramer. This was I believe a record setting jump of 10 cars (~56 feet). Kramer later broke this record and jumped 70 feet with Bigfoot. Enjoy!
Bigfoot 4x4x4 is the property of Bob and Marilyn Chandler. All other trucks are the properties of their respective owners past and present.

[@tempo1889]

For some strange reason it was always very gratifying to me to see the windows and the windshield blowout of the cars when the trucks landed on top of them. Of course it was cool so they took it away. Somebody probably cut their finger on a piece of glass and now you don't get to see glass explode everywhere.

[@jamesnoble3502]

The first pass over the undamaged cars was the most gratifying

[@BM3O8]

Me & my friends called all monster trucks "Bigfoot" in Japan. Moved to the States in '87, and the American kids corrected me, but the Bigfoot is still the most notable monster truck to me. :)

[@WegotTheBOMB]

When I was little I did the same thing. But I also lived 2 blocks from the old shop. Bigfoot will always be king!

[@xmo552]

My mom still says, "let's go watch the Bigfoots" 😂

[@lenortucker6406]

Yea bigfoot the king of the monster truck

[@littlegoatgt]

the tailgate weighs as much as the entire fiberglass body of today's "trucks"

[@williamworth2746]

I know I think that real truck bodies should be required

[@brianafrojack5215]

This reminds me as a 80's kid watching commercials hearing the guy say "SUNDAY,SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!!!"

[@floydian218]

Gotta love dude sticking his head out the window as he does this. I miss these monster trucks, they were still kinda trucks instead of shells.

Now we can’t see dislikes

[@fordfreak9456]

The last of the real steel trucks, not the garage fiberglass sh%t of today

[@w0lf667]

Well today's trucks from a far angle, they look like their body is like metal foil or something wrapped around a Cage. Not like the 80's they were more strong and stayed intact on impacts

[@ChrisSmith-ig9jq]

its proven to be safer with new trucks and cars. You're smoking crack you dumb fuck!@@w0lf667

[@tunaglove]

Yup fiberglass toys all day long. And screw the safety excuse.

[@timmythurman8801]

I’d love to see one of those old pos truck do the shit these truck do today.. they had to change gears to become safe.

[@FordFan01]

Timmy Thurman Talk about no knowledge. These things are far from POS’s.

[@jjlwis]

WOW, the Quality is pretty clear and amazing for footage (VHS) from the 1980's!!

[@nahfencepresents5752]

Yes sir, you are correct. Bob Chandler did indeed create the very first monster truck. In my opinion, Monster Jam would not be the way it is now without Grave Digger.

[@Motleymick]

BigFoot was the first Monster truck to get Famous. But The Beast was before bigfoot. And The Beast is what pressured Bob to keep building Big Foot. Both trucks are from Hazelwood, Mo.

[@yallfuckoffnow03]

@@Motleymick is that the same Beast that became famous with the school bus body style monster truck?

[@lazydadsgarage]

The reason Bigfoot isn't in Monster Jam is because Bob Chandler didn't want to sell out. When I learned that all the trucks including the legend Dennis Anderson sold I lost a little respect. I get it financially but still it's the principal

[@PowerRobMusic]

Bigfoot > Monster Jam

[@philmortlock3490]

Havnt times changed, tuff old beast but they are doing double backflips now.

Used to watch the monster trucks on TV every Sunday morning it seemed like....and WWF/WCW wrestling.......and truck pulls and I remember watching the bull riders all on cable tv as a kid in the 80's:-).

[@kcam04]

How many gallons of tire shine did they use?

[@jasonneal]

These were real monster trucks. Hanging out the window. Seeing this live when I was 10 was THE coolest shit around.

[@epicon6]

I loved this era too but all the drivers destroyed their spines and necks and brains in a few short years driving these beauties. They had almost no suspension and had to have their necks in a bad position to see out. Today they can see the floor and they have 30 inches of suspension travel instead of 6 inches and they are strapped i to the seats with their spine and neck fully protected.

[@kevinbrooks6265]

excuse me skippy but there are no mud boggers in this video !

[@donhill1825]

All the "metal trucks are better" dudes in the comments lol. So what if the new machines aren't "real" trucks? This video is boring as hell compared to what they do today. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit *AND* you wouldn't pay a dime to see "metal trucks" today. It's like the crowd who clutches the pearls because some car manufacturers phase out manuals in performance cars. If you people would put your money where your mouth is, the demand would be filled

Bob wasn’t driving the trucks very much at that point BUT he DID the day I BEAT HIM!🤣😂🤣he & his wife Marilyn were very nice folks. My wife & I joined them for dinner that night. Lotta fun back then.

drew brutal DAMN DREW, 84 Silverado square body light blue rims,468 Chevy big block. Said enforcer with a arm holding a gun on side of truck. ONLY thing the truck was DARK BLUE. Could have been mistaken for black though. WOW dude, if it was me that’s cool🤣👍👍👍we were in 4x4 magazine a couple of times

Real truck. Not some hollow fiberglass shell on a rail.

[@JR-kr1lv]

When Monster Trucks had real bodies on them, why ? Because they were what they drove! Now, its just a DESIGNED frame and slam a fall apart body on it. Not fun to me to watch. I'd rather see a dent in a VEHICLE to show it's real and not fake. IT'S when all Monster trucks were BUILT to the correct status, so you could route for Chevy or Ford or even Dodge, but Big Foot was the truck with then came Grave Digger. Seen that truck dent, because it was metal, dented enough and stopped at inside roll cage once it stopped on its nose at the PROVIDENCE Civic Center back in the late 1980's or very early 1990's max. It jumped and got on brakes but took a bounce and stood on nose, then went to flip forward on roof, but up against the cement wall with rails and he stopped on his nose, then fell forward and hit roof. I might have pictures of it. That's when there was just 2 to 6 trucks, rest was pulling trucks or tractor's with 5 Engine's on it to PULL THE SLIDING SLED WEIGHT. See who pulls it the farthest. Big Foot became a side attraction back then, then they became a bigger show with more truck's, tickets cost just $10 for best seats, then they started new with the new 4 wheeler's racing 5 quick laps. Just a show, they acted like clowns in a rodeo, get in a quick fight and then get off the track for big trucks.

Old school monster trucks are still the best to watch. Today's trucks are amazing with the stuff they can pull off but imo nothing compares to the old stuff. Plus I think Bob Chandler's awesome for not selling out to monster jam 😎👍. But this is just my opinion so no one get butt hurt over it,lol

[@flintrock8433]

This is a real truck. Todays crap is nothing more than a raíl with a fake skin. Not a truck. Sad. To like the fake trucks more is like liking plástic on a Harley Davidson.

If NASCAR and Monster Jam went back to their roots, I would watch it. People get tribal when their favorite brands are competing. They make every car and truck exactly the same......nobody cares. They want us focused on the driver, not the brand. And that's why both sports are dying.
