Monster Jam - INSANE AIR Compilation

I just don't know how they afford the repairs and how every driver doesn't break his back. Total respect. It just unreal what they can do.

[@natelampman9872]

All those fans. Is how they afford it.

[@ryanfowler3285]

They sometimes do break their backs

[@justincoats7236]

@@ryanfowler3285 yeah, I know people who have broke their backs jumping a car like 3 feet high. Those trucks are 20 to 30 plus feet up. I've jumped dirt bikes 70 feet long and landed on the down slope of a tabletop. My friend landed on flat ground and broke his wrist and he wasn't close to as high as these truck are going.

[@MJJackinator]

They survive because of shock absorbers, they can be seen above the tires in the chassis. Just look at the size of them! And also I’ve been watching someone named Kevin Talbot who’s building his own truck and he pointed out that every seat must be perfectly fit to each driver by their preference

[@antoniodagostino2291]

Also the inside is basically like a stock car in Nascar, watch any in cab to see how secured they are in there

[@monstertruckreels]

That’s what this channel is! I hate click bait myself so why would I do it 😂😂 It truly is amazing how these guys just walk these things off!

[@jacktheIV44]

With all the advancements in monster jam tricks such as the Backflip and moonwalk, nothing beats just simply sending it.

[@DblCheese]

100% Agree! Nothing better than when they don’t let off and just hit a jump full send. I remember seeing Avenger do it for the first time as a kid and my mind was blown lol.

[@phillippi2]

As much as I love seeing these jumps in general; I absolutely adore watching them get landed and they can continue going.

[@adamadams6740]

Every time I see this kind of stuff with these trucks it reminds me how far stuff has come,if you watch the first monster trucks they could barely drive over a car slow without breaking,now there40-50 feet in the air and jumping 3/4 the distance of the arena! Way cool!

[@davidgraham2673]

I literally was thinking how far Monster trucks gave come since the original Bigfoot. They're AMAZING nowadays.

[@mace2gorc872]

Truly amazing. I love them.

[@justaguy4real]

I think same stuff. The abuse and action all those parts get is incredible. I bet crazy fun too. Like 4:30, and imagine the driver inside

[@joedavis8481]

Yeah man , I was just thinking about how my dad was taking me to see tractor pulls when I was a kid and they had the early ones doing exhibitions during the breaks

[@jason9035]

Well the originals actually had some genuine "pick up truck " parts in them . Now they are all custom built cage frames with high horsepower engines and fiberglass shells . Not really monster trucks just monster racers.

[@MrMann-gt1eh]

I know these trucks are amazing in their abilities of speed, agility, power and so forth but what has always impressed me is how well they protect the driver. They allow you to be actually LAUNCHED incredibly high and come down on your front end and be ok. You’d think it would crush your spine to land the way they land even when landing on all 4s.

[@justaguy4real]

Guys have crushed spines from jumping city streets in San Fran and R/R tracks. THIS is incredible..

[@MrMann-gt1eh]

[@jonsanders1252]

All in the tires

[@darksci15]

There have absolutely been injuries throughout Monster Truck history. But, everything is always improving. The only reason that the drivers can do these crazy things is due to how far safety has come over the years. I'm sure there's plenty of bruises, but they can just walk away from almost any gnarly crash now.

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

[@justaguy4real]

4:28 gnarly awesome jump. Wonder if they already had that speed and ramp degree etc specs already set for that perfect jump, or if they were close to it, but this jump was so good that they made note of all those specs to use for future jumps...?!

[@darksci15]

I'm pretty sure that the organizers fully expected somebody to do that. Just like at the 54 second mark. Different venue, but the ramp was just set perfectly for big air. Mahone almost won the freestyle with that one jump. She led the rating for a good long while. Jim Kohler also tried that same ramp, also got spectacular air, and also instantly broke his truck.

[@BornToSneeze]

the most fascinating thing to me about these trucks is the suspense. The suspension in these trucks have so much travel and compression. Granted the tires help cushion the landing but it's amazing how high the jump when landing and there ability to keep going is amazing

[@byzantinex]

My brain knows these trucks weigh thousands of pounds, but they bounce like toys?! It's insane!

[@prehistoricwildlife5175]

Because the drivers control the shocks, which the shocks allows the truck to land safely, I believe the air in the tires must be really dense. Thus allowing bouncing to occur.

[@Cynsham]

@@prehistoricwildlife5175 They have purpose built massive monster truck shocks that are hydraulically controlled and have 30+ inches of shock travel, as well as the massive 66 inch tall tires which have pretty low psi at around 10 psi which helps soften the landing

[@chrismusiclover9893]

@@Cynsham it's actually around 22 psi but you we're close brother and the shocks contain nitrogen to help keep pressure during hard landings
