  • In the year 2000, BIGFOOT traveled to the small Caribbean island of Aruba for a series of shows. For introductions, legendary driver Dan Runte was set to jump into the stadium over a tall concrete wall for that WOW factor. Well, the crowd certainly got wowed as Dan and BIGFOOT went for a wild ride when the truck clipped the top of that tall concrete wall and almost went end over end. Only Dan's driving kept it from doing so. After the stunt-gone-wrong in introductions, Dan and the BIGFOOT team were able to get the damaged truck back out on the track and ran pretty well considering. Teammate Eric Tack (driving #15 as Tonka BIGFOOT) also raced and freestyled.

    Dan Runte is definitely a wheel man. Being able to save the truck when it could have ended badly.

    The Tonka paint scheme. That Taurus paint/body. Memory: Unlocked

      One of my favorite Bigfoot Sponsored paint schemes. I still have my r/c version that Eric Tack signed tucked away in the closet.

    Considering the damage the truck received, making it back to even make a racing pass is a big win.

    • @twistedaxles9126

      It wasnt just a win, it was a miracle, heck it takes hours for the guys at Monster Jam to properly fix an axle, and yet still halfway trough the run it looks like its being held together by ropes and duct tape.

    Unexpected danger... Bigfoot and Runte strong enough to save the night and keep running. Love Tonka also, both some of the best looking trucks ever. Loved the big Ford flag in the wind...

    I can't remember how many times I watched the original Aruba crash video on the Bigfoot website. The sound from that short pixilated clip will probably stay with me forever.

  • @MisterGravelrama

    Adding that ending in showing that little loose pile of dirt 30 feet away from the wall made this even more epic! Only Runte could salvage a debacle waiting to happen like that. Then he somehow landed it, and even returned to finish racing. One more notch in the legend of Bigfoot!

      Ikr, I've only seen clips from this event. Glad Bob recorded just about everything. I'd love to sit and watch every video that's in the Bigfoot vault/video library.

    Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for uploading this! I made a video trying to figure out what show this crash happened at and I have finally found the answer! Thank you so much!

  • @waynenorbreyjr9638
    @waynenorbreyjr9638 2 роки тому +2

    I'm assuming that being that that dirt was soft and possibly not compact enough that once Dan made contact with it, it just gave out and totally messed up the just. I'm sure Bob had everything will planned, except that the ramp might give out. Spectacular intro for the fans.

      The thing was it rained and some dirts fell of then the ramp did hold the jump

    @stuntmanmike37 2 роки тому +3

    I can't help but wonder, why didn't they just put the dirt against the wall? That would have made sure the ramp was high enough.

    • @adamtereska8734
      @adamtereska8734 2 роки тому

      The dirt was soft enough to compress under the weight of the truck is my guess.
