I think this is great, whether it was planned or they got lucky, embrace your inner red neck 🙁

How very silly! What a piece of engineering though what he was trying to do at the end baffled me! It certainly failed, although the flip was impressive

the flip was skillz

I’m going for accidental, based on the level of “control” that the driver seemed to have prior to that

Still – yeeeehaw

Yee haw

REALLY don’t get why people watch this.

Where else can you see massive trucks doing flips?

Different horses for different courses, how about this, Recoil 4 is out tomorrow, 2 was good 3 was pants so will see what 4 looks like.

I think they are amazing machines.

I really can’t comprehend why people watch darts or football, but lots do.
Personally, I’d rather watch the trucks!

Flips were awesome. 1st one looked intentional. 2nd one not so sure. 3rd one I think he just thought **** it, I’m on a roll!

Truck is amazing though. Like a Weeble.

Peak STW. Perfect.

Just perfect.

+1 – those trucks are amazing!

I like the monster trucks but prefer the dual slalom type races as they take bigger risks to get round faster and they get some spectacular stunts and crashes.

The trophy trucks are just mental. Stupidly fast on pretty much any terrain this side of a rock crawler – they seem to do huge jumps at crazy angles but the suspension soaks it up and it somehow carries on. Axle articulation, travel length are just beyond belief.

Isn’t there one where a trophy truck does a MASSIVE wall ride? That’s a video I have to watch with my eyes covered!!

Well I was going to smugly say “how do you amuse an American”? But that was quite clever.

Like a Weeble

– until the end…

Gone are the days when we would be impressed by Bigfoot gingerly picking its way over a couple of crushed cars 😆

That’s quality. I’m fairly confident that was deliberate too. It makes me laugh, I saw one of these on TV a bit ago, races first then freestyle at the end which basically consisted of ragging around like that trying to do wheelies and flips until the truck was too knackered to carry on, then screw it all back together and do it again next week.

Looks like BBC News follows STW lol

I’m sure that was intentional. I’ve seen clips where they land on the front or rear of the car and then roll badly, but were trying something like that

I’ve seen them live when the monster truck show came to my area (about 15 years ago now!), it was very impressive

I like them, the proportions and scale of everything is very impressive

For your entertainment…. Recoil4

The engines they must use blow my mind. As in, how powerful must it be for them to be able to pull a wheelie???!?

Ah, there’s a toy. Of course there’s a toy 🙂

The big boys are putting out 2,000 Bhp. 😀

2:15 is my favourite bit.

We saw monster trucks live down in an arena in Southsea. It was like watching really bloody noisy pick up trucks drive over stuff. With big wheels.
