Grave Digger's Dennis Anderson: The Icon's Career Highlights | Monster Jam

[@indigo_sirgaming]

Dennis Anderson, Tom Meents, and Jim Khoeler were the PRIME of monster jam. I'll never forget the days of watching those legends compete.

[@BombSquadMonsterMedia]

We still got Jim rockin’ it! 🤘🔥

[@bubba1307]

Don’t forget jimmy creten, Linsey weenk, Tony farrel(rip), Lupe Soza, John Seasock, Candice Jolly, George Balhan, Madusa, Scott Hartsock, David Smith, and Damon Bradshaw👍👍

[@indigo_sirgaming]

@bubba1307 To an extent, I remember all of them. I REALLY remember Lindsey Weenk, Candice Jolly and Jimmy Creten. I think monster jam started getting really really spectacular when Dennis Anderson's sons started competing as well. I just love monster jam, man 🤷‍♂️ what can I say haha

[@NascarHistoryPage]

Me neither

[@christopherwilliams1072]

​@@indigo_sirgamingway too many to remember

[@ryandavis6864]

Boy do we miss you Dennis! You and Tom going back and forth will be something I won't ever forget.. you were the heart and soul of Monster Jam!

[@marihakeem6189]

You are so coolllll🎇

[@AlienVibesss]

I miss Dennis, and I really miss the Speed era of Monster Jam. It really was the golden age. I still watch, I still love it. But man seeing those old freestyles really shows how far down hill Monster Jam has gone..

[@stealth.gr4]

MJ is way better now then it has been for years. The innovation of 2wheel Skills, the new talents, the identites; all make the competition more interesting since you'll never know who is wining that weekend

[@pitcrew7877]

​@@stealth.gr4 In all honesty monster jam can learn some stuff from the past to make the series better.

[@Ghostmanetx]

Speed era truly was special. I remember being a kid and watching episodes of Monster Jam before I went to school. Those were the days. Part of me wishes I could go back, but the other part appreciates it and is grateful I got to experience it because the newer generations and fans can’t say they did.

[@pitcrew7877]

@@Ghostmanetx def can see the bragging rights of seeing classic monster jam

[@dr.toxicgamingmadscientist]

What exactly happened to Monster Jam?

[@CEO100able]

My dad and I met Dennis Anderson at the pit party of Monster Jam World Finals 18 back in 2017. It was great to see him in person and get autographs from him because I've been a Grave Digger fan for many years. Great classic and modern highlights, and so many great memories! Dennis Anderson is a true legend in the monster truck industry!

[@VenkCutterman]

The man that changed the sport in a way no one would’ve thought

[@PurpSmoke60]

Monster jam wouldn't be a thing without you sir thank you 💚🖤

[@testicat8462]

2000-2015 era was the best! Went to every show downtown Indianapolis with my dad growing up grave digger and Dennis Anderson was my childhood hero

[@reidcraig3739]

As a southern Indiana guy that was where I would always go when monster jam came to the area. I went in 2006, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2016. I wasn’t able to go the other years as I was heavily involved in sports growing up. One of the things I wasn’t satisfied about with the monster jam schedule when I was really big into mainly 2004-2016 was that Indianapolis and Orlando were normally on the same weekend each year with exception for one or two years. Dennis would always run at Orlando and either Randy Brown or Charlie Pauken drove in Indy. The only year in that stretch that Dennis came to Indy was in 2013. Also, during that same stretch, Tom Meents would usually run at Indianapolis since that was practically his hometown show. However that was one of the few years that Meents decided to go to Orlando. My one regret with Monster Jam was that I never got the chance to see Meents and Anderson in the same building on the same

[@diegorodriguezstudios2416]

Dennis Anderson is the Monster Jam driver who got me into Monster Jam and monster truckin' in general. He is a legitimate legend.

[@snbpro1944]

This man should go down as one of the GOATS in motorsports history.

[@miketrapper0464]

The father of freestyle, even though I am a max d fan, I will never deny the legend that is Dennis Anderson and I always love seeing his runs

[@robrb]

It was a privilege to see him doing freestyle at the 2nd show in San Diego at Jan 31st 2015, the first ever time i went to see a official Monster Jam show.

[@Calsobrook]

The crush car era will always be the best 😎👌

[@benber7358]

Dennis Anderson Forever!!!

[@Z_732]

Man... i must be one of the luckiest people ever born. I got the honor to watch all these guys and girls bring these shows to this level while growing up.

[@johncarrillo518]

Grave digger 7 with the down pipes are so iconic and the truck pyramid at the world finals, the way he burps the throttle like that is what really made me a Dennis Anderson fan

[@JAfrmNorteCalifaz]

My favorite gen of GD that Chevy motor was barking like dawg

[@furioussherman7265]

My one real regret as a Monster Jam fan is that I never got to see Dennis Anderson perform live. God I miss seeing him burn it down on the Speed Channel. There simply never has been and never will be another quite like him.

[@theskicker8856]

I would say career highlights since 2000.

[@MonsterTrucksVirginia]

The Greatest of All Time!

[@johannliebig6892]

The Digger has been my favorite since I first watched monster trucks when I was 7..I'm 38 now..I've seen Digger live twice and it was amazing

[@LarryboyssweligiGraveDigger]

I absolutely miss seeing him drive he was the best driver

[@NYkdawg516]

GOAT Hands Down!

[@Xebeats15]

I grew up on this guy I wish I could go back to when I was watching him

[@NightShade-bb6vq]

Than you Dennis Anderson, For being the Best of the Best of the Best with out you there wood be no Monster Jam as we know it to Day and you put the NT in TNT Monsters back in the 80s Thank you 🏴‍☠️🏁🫶👍🏆🥇

[@JafarGoes2TheBarEveryday]

30th Anniversary had to be one of the best modern moments of the Grave Digger team all around. Surprised I didnt see Atlanta and Jacksonville’s 2012 Freestyle in here. Especially Jacksonville’s when he hit that crazy cartwheel onto Tom Meents 😂🔥🔥

[@sherbetwerehusky83]

I was there at the Houston 2013 show. I loved it. This section of the vid brought back memories

[@Ghostmanetx]

Me too! I was 11 at the time and it was probably the most memorable show I went to

[@Fláviogamevh5]

We Will always remeber you Dennis you a legend 🖤💚

[@nickdeluna8681]

Dennis Anderson will always be one of my all-time heroes for Monster Jam and the huge sport of huge sport of high performance racing.

[@Win4Cheesily]

God Bless Dennis Anderson.

I remember seeing Dennis perform on the SPEED channel. He was so awesome!!!! Still is today with his new truck, King Sling. Got to meet him earlier this year in Dothan, Alabama

Before monster trucks were ruined by corporatization just like nascar, thank you Dennis for giving us those most awesome years! 👍👍

[@DarkMiguelBlackRock]

[@datguyawesome]

The evolution in monster jam is crazy like 2000-2014 there was not made backflip ramps now we have people who are trying to make a triple backflip

Dang, I miss the times where Max-D and Grave Digger were always neck and neck in racing and freestyle.

26:20 I was there for that Houston, Tx show in 2013 as a kid and man did they put on a show. Didn’t think Dennis would be able to top Linsey Weenks freestyle run in Lucas Oil Crusader, but that’s why you never bet against the legend!

Back when Monster Jam was good

[@mauronunez8054]

Yes, it's Dennis Anderson, the icon, the founder, and the creator of the iconic monster jam truck known as the grave digger, and dennis anderson is the 7-time monster jam world finals championship. He won 5 monster jam world finals racingchampionships, in 2004 when he defeated his teammate Pablo Huffaker in Blacksmith and 2005 when he defeated the former 2 time world finals champion madusa and 2006 when he defeated the 2005 world finals freestyle champion Jimmy Creten in bounty hunter and 2007 when he defeated John Seasock in batman in the 25th anniversary grave digger and 2010 when he defeated his arch rival and 8 time world finals champion Tom Meents in maximum destruction and he also won 2 world finals freestyle championships 2000 with a score of 40 and 2007 in the 25th anniversary grave digger with a score of 35. Happy 20th 25th 30th 35th and 40th anniversary to grave digger.

[@sobe7766]

If you pause it at 2:39 that was a huge freestyle jump back in the today now its a ramp that size is for racing now.

[@Wgordon-j7q]

Wow

[@stboombasloth9424]

If you go to the outer banks be sure to stop st diggers dungeon along the way. Very cool. He was there. Got to meet him and his dog. Was an awesome day.

[@kimper7598]

Monster jam used to be better. I’m probably just older though. But man there was something about the old tracks that were just better. 2009-2014 peak

[@LAEDCSolutions]

Miss the old days when they had crush cars!

They should have included his 2016 freestyle in Glendale where he did the backflip.

[@ethankiel914]

Alright listen gonna be honest 88% of his freestyle runs are mid air generic momentum if he wasn’t “grave digger” he would just be a guy that “started the sport” it’s true it’s right there all over this video

[@JAfrmNorteCalifaz]

My favorite truck when I was child growing up in the Bay Area my dad would take me , he was a car guy he loved hearing the motors of the monster trucks especially Grave Digger ! ⚫️🟣🟢🪦, if I recall I remember it was a pit party in Oakland CA 2013 I was hyped to see my favorite truck up close in person !
