Monster Trucks.

I was lucky enough to be invite to Monster Jam. (Please say it outloud with lots of drama to get a feel for the night.)

The trucks had names like Stone Crusher, Bounty Hunter, Grave Digger, Capt. USA, Iron Man, The Patriot, Iron Outlaw and Time Fly's.
The fans were barracking for their favourite truck and of course, there was all the merchandise in the world for sale.

The first half was races between the trucks, I was slightly disappointed that they were rigged, but I guess it was entertainment rather than sport. There were two marshalls just in front of us, to line the trucks up at the start since the drivers couldn't see where their front wheels were and there was nobody stupid enough to be near the trucks to line them up. The marshalls lined the trucks up on the line then the winner got a thumbs up and the loser's marshall pointed to the winner's marshall.



The second half was freestyle, which meant that the trucks ran around and jumped wherever they liked. They were then 'scored' and a winner arranged declared. Listen to the fan behind and his comments.



And yes, this truck broke at the end. There were 14 trucks in total and 6 ended up broken.
