- Without a doubt, the crown jewel of the Monster Truck Throwdown tour is the annual stop at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Since the event’s conception in 2010, the 4th of July weekend has become a destination to see some of the most spectacular independent monster truck action in the Midwest. The Monster Trucks have been pushed to their limits each year and 2015 was no exception as 10 of the best Monster Trucks in the industry were set to do battle in front of a capacity crowd. With competitors traveling from as far away as Maine and Florida, these drivers were prepared to put it all on the line in hopes to take home a big victory.
Avenger - Jim Koehler
Brutus - Brad Allen
Quad Chaos - Aaron Cain
Rage - Cory Rummell
Over Bored - Jamey Garner
Xtermigator - JR McNeal
Ice Cream Man - Roy Pridgeon
Crushstation - Greg Winchenbach
Barbarian - Devin Jones
Wrecking Crew - Steve Koehler
The highly anticipated event by both fans and race teams alike always has a special twist and this year was no exception as an additional $3,000 would be awarded to the racing champion and an additional $3,000 awarded to the freestyle champion. With the stakes raised more it put more pressure on the drivers to take a gamble and push even harder for victory.
A unique racing course layout is always a staple of the stop in Mt. Pleasant as the Monster Truck Throwdown staff and the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort always promise a twist, like a 450ft straight line drag over 4 obstacles or a tricky S-style racing course. When it comes to freestyle there's plenty of big obstacles to go around as the track featured many huge freestyle obstacles. In fact this year's event used 22 cars, 6 vans, 3 buses, 3 motor homes, and over 1500 yards of dirt to make the most challenging and exciting course possible.
Drivers would be given the option of qualifying in each racing lane with many taking advantage of that option. Devin Jones would lay down a blistering time of 27.56 on his first pass and choose to sit back and wait for side by side racing. Jones would be the class of the field in qualifying with a time nearly a full second faster than second fastest qualifier Greg Winchenbach and Crushstation who put down a 28.45 pass.
The side by side racing was filled with drama as the track put every truck to the test with the grueling races. Round one saw the unexpected happen quickly, as fastest qualifier Barbarian fell to Brutus in the very first race. However Barbarian would be fast enough in round one to return as the fastest loser in round two. Jones and Barbarian would take advantage of the reprieve to pick up wins in the second round and semi-finals to move into the final round. On the other side of the bracket the fourth fastest qualifier of Roy Pridgeon and Ice Cream Man were smooth and consistent in each round, taking out Wrecking Crew in round one and teammate Xtermigator in both the second round and semi-finals. With the stage set for the final round and big money on the line, both trucks took to the staring line with their sights set on victory. Unfortunately for Barbarian the truck would suffer a massive mechanical failure over the second jump, handing the victory and $3000 to Pridgeon and the Ice Cream Man for their biggest win ever!
The thrills didn't stop with racing as Mr. Excitement and Jim Koehler came out from the pits following the racing competition to attempt a monster truck backflip! Koehler and Avenger lined up at the massive ramp and went skyward as the truck rotated over backwards and back onto all four's. The massive crowd erupted as the Avenger pulled back around and whipped into a set of donuts in celebration.
Following the back flip from the Avenger it was time for the Throwdown Freestyle competition to begin. JR McNeal and the Xtermigator set the bar high early as the freestyle leader and first truck to perform in the competition. Their were many tough challenges including career best freestyles from Brad Allen in Brutus, and Cory Rummell in Rage but they couldn't top the scores from the Xtermigator. As the final competitor Jim Koehler and the Avenger pulled out all the stops with a spectacular freestyle full of big air jumps and dizzying cyclone donuts to take the victory.
A very special thank you to the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort for their tremendous effort and hospitality! Planning for the 2016 event is already underway and we promise it won't disappoint!

I’m gonna say it... best monster truck video I’ve ever seen on UA-cam.
think I'm going to this instead of a Feld show, it's everything from my childhood that Feld originally did back from the 90s up to about 2012
0
FELD didn't own anything monster truck related in the 90's etc lol, there were a different hand of owners that had Monster Jam until FELD took ownership in September of 2008 IIRC
Feld is killing monster trucks. They have been limited qnd mandated to the max. Not to mention fan scoring, tire requirements, blower requirements. I crew for a team and they have made it so political its not fun anymore.
It was owned by the ushra until around 2008-15 Im not 100% sure of the date
This should compete with monster jam
I think Rummell should've won the freestyle. Jim had the biggest air but Cory had more variety. On a related note, I think they should keep the Rage body. It fits the team well and it has a good color scheme.
I think if longer times were allotted in freestyle (2:30 to 3:30 minutes) to compensate for the size of the track, then it would have warranted the drivers better scoring. There was a lot of lost time getting to and from obstacles. Still by far the best track I've seen in any sort of monster truck competition. Looking forward to many more of these episodes!!!

Wow, the camera angles, behind the scenes, interviews, and show. I really hope there's a lot more coming out soon.
Really enjoy this. Love how you get a little bit of the real side of the drivers and the business.
So happy I found these videos. they are such a great alternative to the monster jam circuit
I know, look at all the buses and cars they got hauled out there. So much better than Monster Jam's awful dirt ramp tracks. If Monster Jam doesn't make changes this league's gonna surpass them, just watch.
Yeah to bad that never happened
@@tarashoemaker1035 Monster truck throw down is coming out with some amazing shows and they have things MJ doesn’t. Buses and cars
This is so much more fun than Monster Jam. Just pure fun and no big commercialism in your face.
When is #2 coming out? I really like this and this really needs to be a thing on this channel for now on and forever
I went their and the guy broke tge boat and the guy got a sparking tire and another person went up and had to get a crane to pick him back up lol it was awesome thxsm
Awesome work as always! Can't wait to go back to Mt. Pleasant in 2016.
way better than monster jam. in monster jam if you lose your hood they shut you off but here you can destroy the truck and they will let you keep going
Wow they actually have better tracks than monster jam
This is way better than current day Monster Jam
@34:10 that was a perfect brake tap
Way better than monster jam here in san Antonio
what a good show. I love the track
That was brilliant. Being behind the scenes,with the crews,, and the interviews..the camerawork was ace too , some really neat shots, I prefer this style of video
Hearing Jim say shit made me laugh hard 😂😂
Very well done! Can't wait till the next one.
Monster truck are awesome

#CRUSHTATION NATION!!!!!!!
Cool vid!!

Wow, what a track! Just look at all those cars and the buses they got out there, it's almost the size of the old World Finals tracks, and it looks great! Monster Jam seriously needs to start taking notes because people are sick of their dirt ramp tracks, and if they don't start making changes, these other promoters are going to seriously start surpassing them, cause they're giving fans what they REALLY want, crushing cars and stuff, AND, more interesting truck line-ups. I just saw a video of the East Rutherford truck line-up and HOLY COW, it's like every overrated bandwagon truck in one show, it looked so boring. Monster Jam needs to get it together, if this lesser known league can do better truck line-ups and have courses filled with lots of cars and buses to crush then Monster Jam has no excuse.

lilbearsmum Alright for real what the heck is this trend of people replying with a single letter? I have no clue what you're talking about so please speak english.
ClearSky Productions I don't know but my guess is it's spanish. "y" and "e" are variations of "and" in spanish depending on whether or not the first letter of the next word is a vowel. It could be just mean "I agree too"
ClearSky Productions have

I had no idea Chris Burgeron drove doomsday
He might have drove Doomsday in Detroit for the encore of one of the 2014 shows. Throttle rhythm sounds like his.
Some of these trucks are from MONSTER JAM!!!!!!!
None of the trucks here are owned by FELD, but yes, some of them do compete in Monster Jam.
Correct some are from monster jam like crustation and barbarian avenger and ice cream man
