great show!
Great show, loved every minute of it.
Colby here...suspensions seats were tried, and simply did not work. The best solution to driver "comfort" was to mount the seat directly to the frame. I am not engineer, but it is my understanding that with it attached to the frame, the forces exerted on the driver are spread throughout the entire chassis. Also, the extra motion that a suspended driver's compartment would create can and did lead to moments of unintended control issues.
Bigfoot 10 for at this time being 21 years old handles fantastic especially considering it debuted in 1992 and back then in 2013 it's still hanging in there.
Geesh, the 2nd show they got 3 more trucks!
Off camera, Tim was telling us that he did, in fact, drive a couple of shows as a fill-in driver for Feld. He also drove Robomachine for Mitch Tulachka as well.
Colby here...having been in the driver's meeting for this show, I can tell you that no restrictions were placed on the drivers as to what they could hit for wheelies. Some shows will do so, others will not. This was not one of them.
Maybe this is a dumb suggestion but why dont the drivers/builders make the seat and controls into a "pod" that is on air bags or shocks (top and bottom) within the main frame? Cant wait to see the new wildfire truck, maybe Dennis will have to put some float tires in king sling to give it a run for its money hah ;)
Pretty aggressive freestyle for a bigfoot truck
Lol, that would depend entirely on whose driving it. Gotta go out there and drive with your head and not just your right foot.
Colby here...Yes it does. Jeremy actually inflated the airbags right before I got the camera out.
As Rob stated in the interview right after this (16:44), he was fighting a mechanical issue that kept him out of the first round. Scorpion was fighting a slow-reacting rear steering (which was actually a contributing factor to the rollover in freestyle), and once Project X was deemed "good to go", it was decided to have Project X take Scorpion's place.
so is the new truck rob french is talking about is themonsterblog truck
BOO! How did River Rat not win the 2nd Wheelie competition? Big Foot didn't even use the right ramp of cars to do it!
Also, why does the Ford Scorpion have a Chevrolet logo on the front?!
44:18 Brilliant save from Bruce.
Can someone please explain to me this racing set up. Third place race? Well why didn't Project X race before that and automatically go into that race?
44:18 Nice Save!
Does Casper have air ride suspension?
First Comment sweet,,, love the new Intro guys awesome job keep up the good work
What's the horsepower on the Casper truck? I'm a super fan of the old school trucks
I was there...
To me, he is the best Bigfoot driver right now. I don't think he will last on Bigfoot team that long because he goes all out there, and Bigfoot seems more like a conservative type of team. Really should be with Monster Jam.
What, so he can go out and trash a truck? It's not about who can tear a truck up. Than again I guess some of the idiots at Monster Jam cause I'm starting to hear from former drivers that they were told not to go out and tear stuff up at show and would be scolded if they did. Which is why I have much respect for Bob Chandler and how he ran his organization.
When is the next video going to be up?
when is the next video???
bigfoot rigged it in the wheelies he shouldn't have won
River Rat is a great driver, but what a dumb name for a Monster Truck. Hey, mommy I want a River Rat monster truck shirt.
Chevy engine probably.
