[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

A fantastic way for Jim to get to do his last ride. Thanks to everyone at Bigfoot 4x4x4 for making this happen. 👍👍

[@Frontpagefab]

Awesome to see Jim in Bigfoot again. Loved watching him and Andy kick tail back in the 80's and 90's.

[@Kenboslice3]

Thank you Jim Kramer for creating the legacy of Bigfoot and monster trucks altogether! I have loved this beautiful blue truck from the moment I first laid eyes on it as a child in the 80's. Many endearing memories are all thanks to Jim's vision. Thank you!

[@surgetwo9]

Grew up watching him and Andy brass one of the best

[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

Same here

[@ChaosBlitzBeta]

Likewise for me as well.

[@theunhingedgamer3762]

I've seen old event footage of him and Andy those 2 were definitely some of the best drivers out here to ever drive the truck

[@billiewright3577]

Bob Chandler and Bigfoot will always be my favorite. From the time I first seen it in a magazine til now. Seen all the videos but ironically never seen them in person.

[@loggerjohn01]

I choked up watching this. Jim was such a huge part of my life growing up. A true monster truck hero for a lot of us motorheads.

[@PudinTane-gc4dn]

[@nicholasselvaggi54]

Same here my friends.

[@GourmetSoul]

I grew up in the 80s watching Bigfoot. This video had me grinning from ear to ear. Great job, Jim!

[@mopower57]

Thank you Mr Kramer for introducing us to Big Foot. You were a big part of my youth and still a big part of my adulthood. Great to see you behind the wheel of your beloved Fig Foot.😎👍

[@MisterGravelrama]

We have been fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of meeting Jim countless times over the last 30+ years. Every time he has been gracious, funny, clever, & kind. He is a true legend. Thank you for the positive impact you have had on monster trucks, Gravelrama, and millions of fans across the world. All love!

[@Blimpus]

Mr Kramer thank you for so many great years , You sir are a Living Legend , Bigfoot 4 ever !

[@theskicker8856]

Thanks for everything you’ve done, Mr. Jim Kramer, the King Of Monster Truck Drivers in the 1980’s, and one of the winningest drivers in monster truck history! Glad he had that kind of a career. He was there in the beginning and he’s still with it, what a legend!

[@richmyer9111]

I was on the floor of the Hoosier Dome on Nov 14 1987 when he put Bigfoot 6 on its roof. I took a nice photo of it, and gave him a copy at the Silverdome. Best monster truck driver ever. Real gentleman too. I spent some time talking to him in the pits at Kalamazoo once to.

[@jimmycristofoletti7044]

Thank you Jim for all the memories. You were a important part of my childhood

[@dwp139]

There will never be another Jim Kramer. Thank you for all you've done, and I'm just as thankful as a fan and a friend.

[@ericdebisz9458]

I'm 38 now but as a 5 through 10yr old that original VHS was playing all the time. I remember Jim's face back then such a young buck talking about the trucks. Talking about the Big Foot 5 tire walk. Now seeing him do this. Time flys. A great movie quote once said "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and take a look around, you might just miss it".

[@eddief3326]

THANK YOU BOB CHANDLER for being the owne of Big Foot and the King and Founder of the Moster Jam world. and THANK YOU JIM KAMER for the driver for keeping Big Foot the leater for years. I just wish I could have met Bob or Jim when I went by the shop in St. Louis Mo. I have seen both movies and been to many many shows. THANK FOR THE CLIPS on YOU TUBE

[@tadheath5856]

This needs to be on DVD !!!!! I have loved Jim since day one!!! The best ever!!!!!!!!!

[@kaceesavage]

I had a Bigfoot power wheels in 89 or 90. Bigfoot fan for life.

[@chrisswatkowski8025]

I'm definitely going to try & go to 1 of the open house shows some year. I've loved Bigfoot monster truck since I was 10 yrs old in Tampa, Fla. At Tampa Stadium. ❤😀🖒🍺

[@coryjamesc]

That Man Was Wooping that Booty when I started watching Monster trucks in the 80s.. Bigfoot has been a Favorite truck of mine my entire life, and Jim Kramer, and Andy Brass were the two Drivers that were behind the wheel.. What a heck of a ride!!!!

[@adamtereska8734]

[@wadevallbona5314]

I remember watching Bigfoot and Jim in the 80s and 90s. Me and my Gpa would always watch monster trucks together. We even seen Grave Digger and Bigfoot race head to head back in the late 80s. Thank you Jim and Bigfoot for so many years of entertainment and the memories!! Best of luck to your future endeavors

[@CEO100able]

Jim Kramer was an excellent Bigfoot driver. Look at him go!

[@rynehancock1882]

A huge part of my childhood. Thank you

[@beachside1]

I was around fort the orig Bigfoot. Once my frieds and I saw it we all bought the orig rear bumpers and put them on our trucks. Everyone loved Bigfoot. Bigfoot started the sport of Monster trucks...Love this video

[@deathymnribm]

Thanks for the memories on TV and the two times I got to see you at shows. One of the greats!

[@iosephusnix1949]

My favorite driver from my childhood, thanks for all this years of joy and happiness #jimshouldbeeternal

[@verstappa]

Monster truck madness was my first racing game. This brings me right back to my childhood.

[@BeyondResolution]

Jim was THE guy during my young years watching Bigfoot on VHS over here in Norway in the late 80's early 90"s :) So damn nice to see him still in the bigfoot family

[@luckystrike33t]

Oh wow! The memories! Jim was the driver I grew up with. I love the guy. Talked to him one time at a show and it was like he knew you and you knew him forever. He was so down to earth and so personable. Thank you for the memories Jim.

[@gram440a]

Thank you for decades of excitement and fun!

[@DJ-gx6yn]

thank you Jim!

[@ricknorrington2211]

First time seeing Jim was early 80’s in Roseburg Oregon. My dad purchased a program and on the back was a number The announcer was calling out 10 lucky numbers for winning T-shirts. I believe our number was near the end. My dad looked down at me and said well bud you won a Bigfoot T-shirt!!! I was so excited!! I immediately put it on then my mom asked if I wanted it autographed? So I removed it only wearing it for about 15 minutes. Here I am today 46 yrs old with my tiny autographed T-shirt saying Bigfoot Jim just below the neck collar. 😁😎 best shirt I’ll ever own!! Thanks Jim!!

[@michael61985]

I grew up on this man in bigfoot thank you Jim for your memories from back in the late 80s early 90s

[@Qwiktripz1320]

Very Cool. I have a Jim Kramer story. As a kid I literally wore out the Bigfoot In Action VHS tape. Jim was my hero. Fast Forward 15 or so years(about 20 ago now), I was working at an auto parts store in ND that was next to a tire shop that sold Firestones. I showed up for work still half asleep. The door opens for the 1st customer of the day and I look up, It's Jim. I couldn't believe it, was almost like I was dreaming. I shook his hand and told him I was a big fan for many years. He was setting up for a display at the tire shop and asked if I could help him put the big tires on the truck, he was there by himself. I looked at my boss with no doubt an expression of an excited little kid, and he gave me the nod. We put what appeared to be roll cage tubing under the tires and "rolled" them on the hubs. It was one of the most awesome memories I have.

[@steven38ny]

good to see the truck that started it all love it thank you

[@PZizzle]

I’ve been a big fan of yours throughout my childhood and as as adult…this was special.Thank you for all the years of entertainment and inspiration!

[@bretthumphrey6821]

Awesome I remember him when I was a kid

[@Toys4Life]

Fantastic - Bigfoot always a class act!

[@jasonmurdoch9936]

Bigfoot the one and only!

[@fernandochaves9665]

Seen tons of videos of him ridin' the old monsters, no doubt one of the greatest drivers! Nothing like the old Bigfoots and the whole monster truck thing in the 80s. Great rides, beautiful truck!

[@satricon]

This was awesome and pretty emotional! Wasnt expecting that! Man i just wish bigfoot was in monster jam! Set the egos and money aside! just go big!! Big foot could use the exposure these days! has always been a competative truck! Please do it!

[@robertcraig6970]

Thank you for all the childhood memories. Bigfoot vs awesome kong 2 in the superdome will always be my favorite race of yours.

[@kyledodson2992]

Thank you Mr. Cramer

[@StudioDaVeed]

Loved the silver chassis and axle color.

[@larrykarr1968]

Meet Jim a few times what a great guy I worked with his sister at waste MGMT back in the 70s and 80s

[@justchillin6599]

NOW THAT WAS COOL!!!!!!!!

[@GwadeG12]

[@StigDesign]

[@RobertTinsley-li2jq]

[@markridley-vw9xh]

Man that truck sounds good.

[@Jt7166]

The 🐐. Also I feel like Bob Chandler hasn’t aged a day in the last 40 years 😂

[@fernandolomas6635]

A true legend 💯

[@tommyevansii3887]

On the next BIGFOOT DVD this should be on there!!

[@marcelwiedemann8544]

bigfoot the legende to monster jam please

[@marcelwiedemann8544]

genau der bigfoot gehort auf die monster jam

[@marcelwiedemann8544]

oder macht der gravedigger sich in die hose hehe

[@lsufan9569]

Super cool

[@albertramirez797]

Jim is OG he definitely deserves the last ride because he gave us the first greatest ride ever he is why we have monster jam that's why he is OG

[@treylorpark782]

LEGEND!

[@morphman21]

Great to hear the famous Mike Welch on the microphone again at a monster truck show

[@AnthonyMcqueen1987]

Big Foot needs to comeback to Monster-Jam and compete once again let the past go and both parties work something out to give the fans what they want to see for nearly 30 years since his last appearance.

[@RafaelV8Lovesound]

Vídeo especial Vídeo espetacular

[@deltauljCustoms]

Legend 👍

[@killercan10]

What a good looking Bigfoot for the last ride in one for Jim. Quite a change in truck from what he drove back in the day when Bigfoot was in its early years. Can't say I remember watching him race (born in 91) but I sure do remember Andy Brass, Gene Patterson and Dan Runte during their early dominance in the 90s. Visiting here is on my to do list.

[@fordsfarms1297]

I gotta admit it was kind of rough watching this as Jim was one of those that was bigger than life growing up. I'm sure he enjoyed getting to break in a new truck. Congratulations to Jim! Btw the graphics on that truck are great!! Keep up the great work!!

[@scottharold895]

I just bought a Bigfoot toy I had as a kid in the 80s and put it with picture that my grandfather had from the first time Bigfoot crushed its first car

[@kevinsherman2199]

Jim Kramer was one of the best, I remember when he beat awsome kong Jeff Dane in return of the monster trucks

[@philliplangley9302]

I still have the original Big Foot toy truck made by play skool in my garage.

[@anticorporatists9959]

This isn't going to be the end of the big foot monster truck hopefully

[@BigJfan]

Maybe he wasn't having a tug of war with Sargent slaughter but he still put on a show. I had the privilege to meet him once as a young man but ill always look up to him in Bigfoot

[@Roger-hp1yg]

👍 awesome video👍

[@MonsterTruckTyler]

I saw that and me and my dad's draw dropped when he did the first jump

[@Inactive3T]

If you pause the video at 7:37, see those people at the bottem with those lime shirts? Well that’s me and my cousin Ben. If your wondering witch one is me, it’s the one on the left.

[@ja11ha57]

そうですかジム・クレイマー氏のラストランだったんですね、日本では数少ないモンスタートラックのＶＨＳとか本とか見まくってました、ジム・クレイマー氏は殆どの媒体に乗ってました、まさにモンスタートラックドライバーの伝説でした、

[@scottharold895]

🥰

[@BruceMyersLBZ]

Unbelievable how current generation of trucks dont even bounce! Original trucks were a basketball!

[@sineater6609]

😁✌️

[@ezranobles1528]

You making me old I remember when his first time in a truck and his most famous one were he walked the tires on #10

[@almirria6753]

It is sad that Jim's last ride could be in BigFoot 1 [the original that he built in his garage with his own hands]

[@jameslaumand3686]

What’s the top speed truck

[@frankfilippone9679]

I love Bigfoot! Ever since Foot # 1 ! My love for Pickup Trucks 🛻 comes from watching monster trucks as a kid, it's the main reason I only drive a truck with big tires & think cars are cool, but useless! I put big tires on everything I drive, I always say "All you need is 2 solid axles and 4 leaf springs" and that's exactly what I drive every day! My First Gen Tacoma S.A.Swap on 38s is an unstoppable force out on the rocky trails and I don't ever plan on driving anything normal! Not in my DNA, TY Bigfoot

[@RobertTinsley-li2jq]

Beat day of my life.i wa. There and this was my 1st time I ever watch monster trucks live in person was at the home of bigfoot
