I remember going to the arena in the 90s and seeing monster trucks and mud bogs or sand bogs. Awesome shows indeed. They need to bring this stuff back. Monster Jam isn't what it used to be. Less car crushing nowadays and too many dirt jumps.

I totally agree with you on this deal, Landon. When I was a kid, I was in awe of these awesome trucks when they raced like this. Races now have these stupid idiotic looking cookie cutter style courses that I do not even like that the rigs race on now and that pisses me off like crazy, brother. #MakeMonsterTruckRacingGreatAgain #BringBackTheUSHRA

@@RailStalkerAdventures FELD is USHRA and PACE. We need an honest non-sellout independent stadium tour that runs iconic names. That should eventually run FELD into bankruptcy.

I keep replaying the same spot over and over when Fred blew to doors off I just love the sound of the engine

[@frankmatrau336]

i can't believe how close the crowd is to the action.

[@ryanlsorrell1983]

yeah it took a death of a spectator to realize that they were too close. Samething happened in Nascar.

[@aduchek]

Mike Galloway did a great job for a first timer! Very smooth and controlled.

[@engineerpat5290]

LOVE THIS!!! My favorite trucks during this era are Bear Foot, First Blood Big Foot Carolina Crusher and Grave Digger!. Great drivers all around!

[@bringbacknames]

This is so cool. I was there and remember the door falling off.

[@crazykellywfo4240]

BEARFOOT's jump on the cars was suspended animation. Never seen a truck do that.

[@thedevilsM45]

Man those tires bearfoot had bounced a lot. Neve quite got it down. By late 89 he had the traditionalterras back on

[@dwp139]

When I was a kid and I saw Fred's truck go across the cars but not "crush" them in the sense they were known for at that time, it was weird. I look back now with my age and watch this and am like "those light tires and that light truck, no wonder the roof of all the cars wouldn't cave in."

I was at this show and I remember how cool bear foot looked. I was a Bigfoot fan as a kid but man was it a great show! I still have my souvenirs from it.

[@jeffjackson6329]

HAHA, man what about the floor announcer, he is standing right next to the trucks launching onto the cars! LOL

[@brianchong4134]

Original freestyle! Awesome!

[@railyardfilms6491]

This was the best car crushers in ushra years

[@MrRockgod2011]

and this show was used for the monsters of rock n roar

[@waynemoses651]

I thought there was two wheel drive truck pulling on this show, with Darth Vader, and i think the Oklahoma warrior!

[@bdoggie28]

[@collinsnider4179]
