PowerNation Big Foot was what got me started in Hot Rods as kid back in the 80s. Was fortunate to see Big Foot in person a few times and it was awesome!! Thank you Bob Chandler💯👍🏻💯

I definitely love the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live shows. I've been to a few of them and they're getting better and better. I enjoy being at those shows over a Monster Jam Arena show. I excited to see the future of this series.

[@WaRLoKWYATT]

I can't explain how much I loved Monster Trucks growing up. I was always more of a Grave Digger fan, but Bigfoot was definitely right there.

[@electrikoptik]

Without Bigfoot there would be no Grave Digger or monster trucks.

[@-DEATHSTROKE]

This is awesome!!! Thanks Powernation, as an Australian, my first glance at bigfoot was in a PC game called monster truck madness many many years ago.

[@xkobeplayz5396]

Thank you Powernation. I really enjoyed this vid. Highly entertaining, and very informative. Great job by all involved.

[@adamtereska8734]

I still remember the first time I saw Bigfoot 1 in publication; the April 1979 issue of 4 Wheel and Off-road magazine. 45 years into the monster truck industry, Bigfoot is still my all-time favorite truck.

[@marksmithson1414]

BIG FOOT is the OG!!!!!!! The one and only OG that Started the whole monster truck craze but there are also great ones out there Grave Digger, King Crunch, Carolina Crusher and a whole slew of them too many to list

[@dragonfly492]

You mean Bigfoot, one word not two.

[@jaredthegeneralmotorscarguy.]

GO BIG GO HOT WHEELS!!!

[@chriscuddeback8374]

I remember my first time seeing Bigfoot! That's the era when he was going up against Bully. He was pulling the sled back in those days. Bigfoot may not get the air time like Gravedigger or Max D and all of the other "big name" trucks...but it will always be my altime favorite. Thanks for building something truely awesome Bob Chandler...you have provided a lifetime of great memories. I acually got to help put the tires on Bigfoot at the Jefferson County Fair back around 2002-2003 since the company I worked for was a major Firestone dealer. Thanks again and keep it up!

[@Saba45161]

I love Bigfoot 😄

[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

Been loving Bigfoot since the 80's.

[@PowerRobMusic]

Monster Jam made a massive mistake having a falling out with this team

[@jaredthegeneralmotorscarguy.]

The all electric Firestone Bigfoot monster truck is my favorite.

[@swiftgabe1]

Bigfoot #1/#5 are my all time favorites!

[@craigbowne7722]

Big foot is the original monster truck and the king of the monster trucks

[@dereknewton4786]

Taking Bigfoot to Chevrolet is a slap in the face to the legacy of the original monster truck. Yes it's cool but why mess with history?!

[@amandastyles-uh6zx]

Because they finally picked right😁👍

[@gonzalogochicoa6815]

Gracias gracias gracias Maestro por tanta alegría

[@gregorycarter9352]

I love Bigfoot and Grave Digger and all the others.I saw a 1970’sSting Ray Corvette as a monster car at a monster truck pull.

[@amandastyles-uh6zx]

Was it the slingray from monster garage!

[@greencityorgization7372]

So sad the car retired from racing and it's just for display now...I would be so happy to see it back on the feild! Btw, super excited for the one coming this saturday. Grave digger and el toro are going to be there!

[@craigbowne7722]

Big foot is the one that started the monster truck craz

[@Leatherface123.]

My all time favorite I grew up as a kid with Bigfoot

[@racingfreak1337]

"When you think of monster trucks, you think about one" Me: Grave Digger! "Bigfoot" ...

[@showtime0561]

Bigfoot is the number one in monster jam! My father had the most meant 1979 Ford bronco red and white and he sold it for $500 and it’s worth 10,000 and it would’ve been worth 50,000 today and whenever I look at Bigfoot I cry it’s my hero. Lol

[@jamesfrantz6085]

I see all those cameras flashing back then ,a legend was born and Bob is the Man.

[@rigobertomaldonado9240]

Big foot is ossom monster truck jam

[@matthewwilliams9200]

Bigfoot is the greatest of them all all ford all bigfoot.

[@troysmoliak4924]

First time I ever got to see Bigfoot it was when I was a little boy in Vancouver BC at the Vancouver pnd Activision ground I actually got to walk on her it it was such an amazing feel that day even though I've gone to Chevy now Bigfoot will always be my favourite monster truck of all time

[@finger541]

the first bigfoot was the best one

[@danielgantt8969]

I remember Bigfoot as a kid

[@zackzander425]

Crushing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eddieschwab864]

Did Bigfoot V always have the late 80s early 90s front fascia? I thought I had seen Renditions of it with the same early 70s front fascia as the original Bigfoot.. so I wasn't sure if it was updated along the way, or is there more than one Bigfoot V????

[@ejlucas93]

All i ever wanted was to be a Bigfoot driver!

[@thetreblerebel]

I remember when Bigfoot raced a paddle boat in the Mississippi River

[@finger541]

[@Jay82356]

Bigfoot vs Grave Digger

[@OctoomyYTOfficial]

Jay Landers think about it, they are both as important in the same sport but in a different way.

[@terryderush7066]

If it's not Bigfoot it's not Sh$t !! Best old Truck in the world.

[@jeanspikes2230]

Terry DeRush grave digger 🤣

[@grumpusmaximus9446]

Gravediggers nothing but an also-ran compared to Bigfoot.

[@pyrogaminghound9579]

1:25 Big Foot and Grave Digger

[@austinmullins4472]

Yesss

[@jacksonstombaugh8553]

A bow tie on Bigfoot is just wrong on so many levels

[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

Yeah, but there's a reason why that happened and Ford decided to stop sponsorship.

[@chris9953]

Its been my dream to drive bigfoot and last time I seen him was in 92 please bob,christin,Darrell can you please reply

[@elleryparsons2433]

If there was A Place Big Enough Do You Think BigFoot Can Beat Every Tuck That Is Built in the World?

[@dachronicalalittlebitofeve6630]

If you lived in the 80s you know what I mean when I say all we wanted was Hulk Hogan, Bigfoot, the ninja Turtles and the A-team!!

[@furryhick1998]

Do one like this on an even better monster truck, Grave Digger

[@cosmicsurfer4963]

It was all good, until they broke out the electric Chevy truck with the Bigfoot name on it! That was a slap to the face of Bigfoot fans everywhere. They should take Bigfoot 5 and crush that thing or put Ford body on it. I been a Bigfoot fan since 1981 and to see the Bigfoot name on a Chevy truck was just not right at all.

[@traxxasrc10]

That electric Bigfoot as a Chevy was strange since it always had been a Ford body.

[@parker8870]

tyler jones chevy bigfoots aren’t all that uncommon there’s been multiple of them also dodge’s

[@Rangerman69420]

Yeah, they like to run different bodies on their truck for show. However, all competition trucks run ford bodies and after the hate #19 got i dought that will change.

[@parker8870]

Brian connor chevy bigfoot’s have been used in competition a lot, bigfoot’s best drivers have used chevy’s before

[@Rangerman69420]

[@parker8870]

Fun fact. Bob Chandler didn't want to do that Silverdome car crush.

[@Itcamefromc0pper9]

Why everyones favorte in hot wheels monster trucks is bigfoot?

[@thetreblerebel]

So..does Monster Jam and Team Bigfoot do anything together?

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

As of now, no! Seems like Feld Entertainment aka Monster Jam are still holding a grudge against Team Bigfoot.

[@wellthatsjustpeachy90]

No they wont work together due to the company named field likes to own rights and all products involving those trucks, Mr. Chandler is the soul owner of his trucks and company and doesnt want to give up right to a company, they basicly force the drivers and the ones who made the vehicles to fo whatever they want.

[@cameronheidelauf9623]

The only true legendary who was the best team bigfoot driver was jim Kramer himself there

[@Mikarx]

Why would they put a bowtie on a BIGFOOT?

[@DuncanTave]

Not the first time

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

That was a deal where Ford had dropped sponsorship in 2007 and Firestone a long time supporter of Team Bigfoot who was a tire sponsor for the MLB ⚾️ and Chevy was a official vehicle sponsor of the MLB⚾️ and it was asked if a Chevy body could be put on the truck. Bigfoot went as far as to dedicate a truck for that body and even put a Chevy motor in it as well. Loved it!

[@nixdoiel9508]

Don't forget about Dan runte

No no. Bigfoot has always been ford. They do a chevy? Yea it's better then a dodge but still

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Bigfoot had a Dodge body, something that was for ZF axles.

[@DiyAllaroundguy]

Next up! Big Foot vs a row of Tesla's EV's and all the other BS that's trying to band cool builds like this

[@grizzly9960]

Electric Monster Truck? Why would you take away the beautiful engine sounds associated with a monster truck for silence. I predict the crowd size dwindles and people stop going to the shows. Way to kill Monster Trucks.

[@nathanmcdonald610]

They didn't make an electric monster truck to be a competition race truck. It was merely a ''can we do this'' experiment. All the Bigfoots manufactured since then have been powered by the same methanol injected Ford big block V8's they always have been.

[@ImTheJoker4u]

There are a lot of kids with special needs that might enjoy the doughnuts and car crushing, but not the noise or smell. Besides that, automotive sports are on a pretty serious decline because environment, so a DC monster truck is a friendly alternative to killing ourselves with huge amounts of toxic emissions. There are also DC drag cars, and F1/Indy style races. Don’t get me wrong, I completely agree with you - Without the sound and the rumble you feel in your chest, what’s the point, but that’s why autosports are dying. Nobody wants to watch that shit.
