You guys are the luckiest guys ever! I remember when monster trucks first broke onto the scene, the three big ones at that time were BigFoot, USA-1, and Grave Digger. The kids in my school were all polarized as to which truck was our personal favorite, and all the usual childish arguments could be heard at recess time! The truth is that they were all great, and still are!
Anyone remember the era when the trucks were being joined on their tours by monster tanks? (mid-late 80s maybe?) I was lucky enough to see a show that featured 3 monster trucks, 3 monster tanks, and a series of mud boggers, all inside an indoor arena! That was awesome fun for this teenage kid!
I’ve been watching PowerNation since way before it was called PowerNation. This was the best show ever. I couldn’t even imagine getting to drive the original Monster Truck! That’s awesome!
This is the first time, Bigfoot 4x4 has been represented as a 'brand' and as an emblematic monster truck for the ages - that's ever been produced. Such a well done episode, showcasing how the brand of 'Bigfoot' has evolved, but not at the consequence of who it represents; the ambition of kids, of all ages. Very well done!
Literally a life's dream come true. Great job guys and a big thank you to the entire BIGFOOT organization. 78 f150 ranger 4x4, arguably one of Fords greatest looking vehicles of all time. Personally my dream truck
I remember seeing Bigfoot 5 in Orlando FL parked at Ripley’s Believe or Not when I was a kid. 25 years later find out tires are 10 ft tall I had thought as a kid the tires were over 20ft tall, lol
Bigfoot could have still been apart of Monster Jam, but I think certain individuals just don't want to have Bigfoot there and they kinda want to act like Bigfoot don't exist cause the go out of their way to not mention anything related about the real history of the industry. Thanks goodness Dennis Anderson wasn't afraid to say anything in regards to Bigfoot.
@@josefrobbins8781 the rammintor guys have told stories about how they have had trucks damaged at monster jam shows and weren't compensated for it (A monster jam owned truck hit ramminator if I remember correctly), if they treat people like that im not surprised bigfoot stayed away. Also during the days they did gravedigger was the cash cow from a merch perspective (because bigfoot saw it as an independent contractor relationship made their own merch etc), gravedigger on the other hand went in with monster jam.
Bigfoot was the reason I woke up every morning. I fell in love with the truck when I first seen it a t a Show back in 1994 at the Checkered Dome here in St Louis. Monster trucks were my calling. VTread the Urban Legend was born
Yeah, but it seems to be more of Monster Jam that seems to be preventing it to happen. Doesn’t matter to me cause I don’t really keep up with Monster Jam anymore.
Great episode, been a huge fan of Team Bigfoot since the mid 80's. Surprised that they didn't talk about old #14 sitting back there getting restored. They may have videotaped, but maybe it was cut during the editing process. Either way I enjoy the show.
I work on those tires for a living and the best part is that when. I show up, they ask where is the service guy. Iam 5'10"125 lbs and use hand bars and a bead breaker and a duckbill hammer. Always at least once a week this time of year.
My Favorite Monster Truck Big foot King of The Monster Trucks thank you for helping me be the Best I can be and The Man I am to day i still have not gotten a chance to drive a monster truck but in 2012 I did get a chance to help unload the tires to one maybe one day 😉
Im a big fan from Puerto Rico...... I have a bigfoot scale trucks collection....and my truck is a ford f-250 78 the name of my truck is PIEGRANDE TOWING 4X4......PIEGRANDE in english is BIGFOOT......In 2023 im going to BIGFOOT HOME.
difference of opinion on several things - being able to sell BF merch at FELD/MJ events, being able to record BF at MJ events for studying truck peformance are both forbidden by FELD. thats just of the iceberg
Bigfoot 5 was sold, or at least listed on, eBay some years back for a ridiculously low amount. Seems like it was $10K or so. I was appalled! Not sure if it actually sold, but it apparently made it back home either way.
I highly doubt that was #5, Bigfoot has built 2 other 10 ft tall tire trucks that are still out there. One was at the Race Rock that use to be in Vegas and Bigfoot 7 was turned into a 10 ft tire truck for the Race Rock that use to be in Orlando Florida. The truck that was in Vegas was at a Museum in Illinois and Bigfoot 7 is at a theme park in Florida.
Brandon Budd? He’s been running a Bigfoot body representing the Bigfoot team, but it’s not a actual Bigfoot truck. It’s his Buckshot/Wasted Nights chassis.
Bigfoot 5 was built for 1 thing. Breaking a world record. Which it still holds. It wasn't meant to be pretty. It's also the only Monster truck to race a river boat.
Watch the Bigfoot engine build: ua-cam.com/video/lrI03FVYbvQ/v-deo.html
Bigfoot will always be my favorite truck.
Yes, I’ve been a fan since the mid 80’s and will always be a fan.

I remember doing this as a kid we all argued with each other why our choice was the best lol.

Bigfoot was and is the very first monster truck ever built
The one, only, and original.
I remember getting to sit in Bigfoot ones cab and my parents taking a picture of me sitting inside the rim. I'll never forget that day.
Absolutely, a core memory! I drove Bigfoot and I will never ever forget it!
I’ve been watching PowerNation since way before it was called PowerNation. This was the best show ever. I couldn’t even imagine getting to drive the original Monster Truck! That’s awesome!
So cool to see the insight into what 22 is gonna be like once completed.
American history!
I wish I had that Oldsmobile that you crushed twice in the beginning.

I remember when Engine Power (Season 2) got to refresh the engine on the original Bigfoot.
Bigfoot was my childhood. Would be a dream just to drive one.
I remember seeing Bigfoot 5 in Orlando FL parked at Ripley’s Believe or Not when I was a kid. 25 years later find out tires are 10 ft tall I had thought as a kid the tires were over 20ft tall, lol
Actually that's a replica of the actual Big Foot 5.
Always kinda wish Bigfoot would still run monster jam.
The USHRA/Monster Jam is the WWE of motorsports. Great to watch and fun for the audience, not for those competing.
Bigfoot could have still been apart of Monster Jam, but I think certain individuals just don't want to have Bigfoot there and they kinda want to act like Bigfoot don't exist cause the go out of their way to not mention anything related about the real history of the industry.

Whoever was flying the drone was also very lucky! I'd love to have an opportunity to film something like that.
Man I loved those bigfoot toys as a kid, cool to see the people that made it happen!
What a treat !
Bigfoot was the reason I woke up every morning. I fell in love with the truck when I first seen it a t a Show back in 1994 at the Checkered Dome here in St Louis. Monster trucks were my calling. VTread the Urban Legend was born
I had the same thing with 35/12.5-R16.5. and it has the same 428 and manual transmission since I put it together.
Nice to see Ford power in the newer ones.
I wish that Ford was still apart of Team Bigfoot. They were a winning combination.
This so awesome. I wish bigfoot would resolve Monster Jam differences so they would show up in my area
Yeah, but it seems to be more of Monster Jam that seems to be preventing it to happen. Doesn’t matter to me cause I don’t really keep up with Monster Jam anymore.
I remember seeing the first Bigfoot being built. My dad had a brother that lived in the same cul-de-sac.
We've driven to Pacific Missouri many times before and I've seen this Bigfoot many times before on our way to Salem Missouri for our fishing trip.
It's just cool to see Dan again dude is honestly cooler than foot
Dan is one cool guy! Got to hang out with him through the years after I first met him back in 1997.
Great episode, been a huge fan of Team Bigfoot since the mid 80's. Surprised that they didn't talk about old #14 sitting back there getting restored. They may have videotaped, but maybe it was cut during the editing process. Either way I enjoy the show.
They could have done another episode with all that Bigfoot has going on.
I'm no ford guy but this was a dream and still is for me to drive bf

Number 1 sounds so good
LOL you talk about shits
and giggles. !!! Bigfoot....... a true American Legend. !!!!!

Can we have more of the lovely redhead lady 😁
Love Rebecca, I’m glad to see her progression as a Bigfoot driver.
I want to see more ride trucks this year 2022
Im a big fan from Puerto Rico...... I have a bigfoot scale trucks collection....and my truck is a ford f-250 78 the name of my truck is PIEGRANDE TOWING 4X4......PIEGRANDE in english is BIGFOOT......In 2023 im going to BIGFOOT HOME.
exelent video !!!👍 graiting from argentina !!!
Fourth! And i love the looks of the big foot trucks!
mike and pat rebuild motor few yrs ago
Think I saw #4 on display at a restaurant in Orlando 20+ years ago
Bigfoot 5. And it's a replica, not the real one.
why no reference to the old power block show when Ryan put the motor in Bigfoot one?
Didn't powernation rebuild the engine when Mike Galley was there
Yes they did
The history of those wheels tho, i mean if it's true that they initially came from the northern explorer vehicle...
Bigfoot #5 that is how you start an old ford smack her a bit and she goes.lol
Wish we could actually c The GOAT RUN on TV⁉️ 🦶🏻📺😏
Wait didn't the Engine Power guys dyno the OG Bigfoot engine then it went to a museum after?
Only difference is that I had Hi-Boy chrome letters I got at a swap meet back in the 80's
👍
I have always wondered for years why does Bigfoot not compete in monster jam?
That’s more of Monster Jam than Bigfoot.
difference of opinion on several things - being able to sell BF merch at FELD/MJ events, being able to record BF at MJ events for studying truck peformance are both forbidden by FELD. thats just of the iceberg
This whole video covers about 30 seconds of “how they build Bigfoot” . .
I know that you guys have a major league chubby with the bigfoot, what guy wouldn't have 1. Congratulations
Bigfoot 5 was sold, or at least listed on, eBay some years back for a ridiculously low amount. Seems like it was $10K or so. I was appalled! Not sure if it actually sold, but it apparently made it back home either way.

bigfoot 5 was never sold. your confused with Number 7 that was sold from race rock to the theme park in Florida
How come Brandon didn't get to drive?
brandon can't even ride a bike or walk up stairs.
The original location for Bigfoot's world headquarters is now a Hyundai dealership 🥺
Ohhh dang, I had a feeling that a car dealership would want that property for that purpose.
Sorry couldn't drive Brandon
Did Brandon get to drive one?
Brandon Budd? He’s been running a Bigfoot body representing the Bigfoot team, but it’s not a actual Bigfoot truck. It’s his Buckshot/Wasted Nights chassis.
😁👍✌👌🖖😎
👍👍🇺🇲LETS GO BRANDON!!!!
I’m sorry what’s that traitor ?
Is your man about to get a jump suit that matches his face make up ?
Ha ha
Dude BIGFOOT #7 is in very bad shape and it's sad
Bigfoot 5 is ugly AF. Never did like it. All others are bad ass!!
Too bad Brando didn’t get to drive, share a little Mark. 😂
Looks better than the other guy with that tall truck.
Bigfoot 5 was built for 1 thing. Breaking a world record. Which it still holds. It wasn't meant to be pretty. It's also the only Monster truck to race a river boat.
