Вставка

- This is video of the very first monster truck car crush ever. The stunt was performed by Bob Chandler in the very first monster truck ever, BIGFOOT #1! Notice the lumber in the bed of the truck bouncing around, as Chandler was in construction when this video was shot in April of 1981.

and so, a legend was born...
Thank you Bob Chandler for starting the monster truck craze!
42 years later and they're doing Reverse Backflips.
God bless Monster Trucks.
Indeed
“Today we take a moment to pray to are monster truck lord and savior Bob chandler”
Give a reply or a thumbs up if you think FORD needs to sponsor Bigfoot again... BIGFOOT was a Ford from the beginning and Ford should recognize that and sponsor them as long as they are running!
Robert Ruis you're right. Also i dislike the "plastic bodies" of today.. bring back the real bodies of the 80s, made of metal! Ford should sponsor this, specially when it seems that everybody likes only mopars and chevs, and ford is once again left behind in popularity
48" and at the time it was street legal, it was Bob's everyday driver.
Hi
@@FranLeut Hi valentin
I think its still street legal minus the supercharged beast engine
@@jullian8907The engine is likely the ONLY legal part of this truck lol. 48” lift is waaaay past illegal on street in the states.
Hard to believe that this is where all monster trucks started from, nowdays one would think "meh, another lifted truck".
A supercharged big block and 48 inch agricultural tires would still stand out today IMO
Uukjkejsjjajsj
What's the ridiculous thing is, a everyone is currently fussin' about trucks being lifted. Yet, long before that no one fussin' about it.
@@Full_Otto_Bismarck come to the south, it really wouldnt
@@Full_Otto_Bismarck yeah, i live in texas and a dude down the street owns two literal monster trucks
I’m so glad you guys put this on here!
@oakley175 The truck was originally a 1974 F250, but Chandler put a 79 F250 front clip on it later (as you see here).
In the history of monster trucks, there's Bigfoot and then there's everybody else.
Ford first, the others just follows
Thank you for creating monster trucks!
As soon as he hit the gas
History was made
The first time a monster truck crushed cars
And lucky for us the cameras were rolling
And the rest, they say, is history.
Hearing someone’s excitement from the background is the best feeling. Imagine being one of the very first people especially a kid to witness this overpowered behemoth crushing everything in its path. There was nothing like this at that time.
THANK YOU BOB
Bigfoot #1 the one that started the whole MONSTER TRUCK crazy
Great video! This was shown in Monster Truck Madness 1.
First or not...this was VERY VERY early on in the era of Monster Trucks. If there is ever a Monster Truck National Museum this video will be on the big screen monitor playing on a loop right there when you walk in.
Just powered up my Playskool Bigfoot truck toy. Still going👍
If it wasn't for Bob Chandler crushing those cars with his 4x4 bigfoot, monster trucks just wouldn't be possible, it was a blessing that this very man made the impossible happen and was the man who would start a legend we call monster trucks
they need to do a show somewhere with all the ORIGINAL trucks. Can you imagine the roster looking like this: Bigfoot, Carolina Crusher, Bear Foot, Monster Patrol, Grave Digger (classic), Boogey Van, Wild Foot, G-Force, Taurus, Overkill
That would be the best show ever
I wouldn't count Wild Foot, Boogey Van or Monster Patrol original.
Original would look like : King Kong, Big Foot, Bear Foot, USA-1, Mud Rat, Intimidator, Excaliber.
Don't forget about snake bite 😊
@acidtwinblaze BIGFOOT never retired! We have been doing hundreds of shows every year for over 36 years now.
And Thank You and the rest of the BIGFOOT crew for doing so.
I remember this Monster Truck very well. I even had a kiddie truck based on it when I was a kid.
Where's Grave Digger, or any of those other chumps? Oh yeah. NO. WHERE.
'Foot Forever!
I thought he was Mudbogin' in NC
Digger at that time was a mud truck on big ass tractor tires.Digger coulda crawled over those cars too,but he was mud boggin.
NOBODY did/tried any of this before Bob Chandler...he gave birth to and invented Monster Trucks.
@@thegamingrailfan7905 I think GD was based in Chesapeak, Va. then.
the BIGGEST the BEST and ALWAYS A FORD
I saw Bigfoot in 1982 at the Hubert Humphrey astrodome in the twin cities
Can't F*** with the original.
This came up in my son’s homework I’m glad I could find the original video
bob is a super nice guy pretty stinking smart too.
Hey, bigfootoriginal, I have a question for you: Did Bob Chandler keep the 66" Firestone tires on the truck all the time, or did he occasionally still use the 48"s as well?
Cool video I watched this truck pull a pull sled at San Diego sports arena. Just as it looks. I have the kodack moment still. Bob did know how to use the go pedal
It wasn't that he didn't know how, he chose to be smart and not break stuff. I'm sure you know how BIGFOOT got his name.
Had to be the top 4x4 shop in the country. When you can advertise that your trucks climb over cars, thats all you need.
That is so badass.
i like how the first big foot was not much bigger then trucks you see on the road today
I've give my first born for this truck! Because of Big Foot , I'm a offroad enthusiast and drive my little offroad beast every freaking day! I know she's a Toyota, but she's got 2 axles and 4 leaf springs! She's a uneven balance of old and new, and it works! Over rocks, through Pennsylvania muck! And drives me back home to long Island, I do miss them being actually a factory truck 🛻 not a huge fan of Dog bodies, with ears and shit, but they do pull off backflips, so maybe the new school monsters aren't to bad, and they make your ears bleeding, especially at Nassau Coliseum, watched Max D lose a wheel and roll , IT WAS AWESOME! Yeah, I just love anything with 2 solid axles and giant tires!
Yes it is. Usually here or at Monster Truck Museum on occasion.
what's even cooler is that they have video of BF1 Today, it still looks great
A video for the History!!
Hell yeah lml This is how proper monster trucks should look like!!
That's so cool
What was the make and models of the first 2 cars that were crushed?
thank you so much for posting this!!!
such a bouncy ride with those loose leaf springs comin' off the cars heh
Wow
1st of all that crush started all of this Monster Truck Madness that we all know and love
And 2nd this only has 88,000 views for the first car crush EVER I assumed it would me in the 1,000,000-10,000,000 video view range
몬스터트럭 포드빅풋f150 클래식!!!! 100점
💯💯💯💯 옛날괴거 미래 👹🛻😇😇🤣🤣🤣😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍
Bigfoot fan 'til the day i die! I had the Power Wheels Bigfoot truck in the 80's as a kid...only i had the other one that was named High Rider, but still, looked like Bigfoot with the rollbar in the back & it was blue. :)
@bigfootoriginal are you all ever going to get back into the ushra monster jam most people don't even know you still exist, you will always be my favorite, many good times in my original powerwheels version back in the day, if you where in moster jam I might actually watch it.
Trust me, there are many that remember, and still Follow BIGFOOT, The TRUE King of the Monster Trucks. Then, Now, and ALWAYS !!!
awesome! thats the way it should be, simple and fun. wonder what kind of camera it was it shot on. some early video camera i would guess but not film
LOL Sounds like a Ferrari and a school bus mixed:-P
Today Bigfoot smashing those 2 cars feels bad man :P
that BEAST still had the OEM frame under it monster trucks must have weighed 10 times as much when bob chandler built his first one mid 80's as they do now
Saludos desde Panama bob el original
B dia mi gran amigo bob chandler consulta por que los monster truck utilizan motores chevrolet?? Rigobert de Panama rep. Panama
lol now this is a standard pickup truck height pretty much.
Do they even use this beast any more. I kinda want to see it out in a car show crushing cars instead of the fake one that is like 50 ft off the ground
Tylyr Fonteneau-Pannoni YES like a special event with only the og trucks
Slammed Mustang66
Nothing like a old school monster truck chrome and go. Plus real metal back in those days. Today's trucks are cool. But remind me of a over sized sand rail. Lol
@@josephsloppy6750 Monster jam is crap
@beliveinblue2 Depends on if the original truck was new or used. Probably no more than a couple of thousand,
So you're getting a strong start to test your first bigfoot truck.
How big were the tires in this video, I'm assuming its still street legal here...
48 inch Goodyear terra tires. At that point, BIGFOOT was still street driven.
1979 F100?
Those are 48 inch tires. The new dot legal max is 58 inches. God bless this version America.
What kind of camera is it? VHS-C or video 8?
FORD POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello there
Ford body, Ford engine. The way it should be.
what were the cars crushed?
That's awesome, I want to build one just like it in this form! I know Thunder Beast, a 76' F-250 Monster Truck from back in the day on 54's was street legal, but it required a special liscense to drive and it couldn't be driven at night...
Whoa whoa whoa. Predator carbs??? 3?? Jesus.
and that was the begining that started it all
What size were those tires? 44"s?
back when gas was cheap! haha
I have doubts as to whether this was the first car crush by Big Foot. I saw Big Foot in person at the Kingdome in the early 80's at a truck and tractor pull and he was doing it very slowly and very carefully.
This was 100% the firs time Hence why Big Foot looks so small here
@@hardcoretam absolutely right
Those cars looked good tho
@corvettkiller666 The Monster truck god.
Were is this at
More than likely a field in either Franklin Co. or Jefferson Co., Missouri.
Only in America
@beliveinblue2 dude he built it ^^
1975
My brother didn't have that big an engine but his ford g-150 was as big
We would do their shows, but they have do hire us. They can call Bob Trent or Kim Schroeder at 314-731-8112 to book us.
poor cars....i would buy them
wtf laugh at 0:16
Sad part is these beautiful american cars getting totaled, too bad he didn't have any European or asian cars he could have destroyed instead.
You need to get this truck back to the mud Boggs. You have everything. Get some fuggin maga truck and monster trucks back out there. Fugg monster jam.
No wonder all those nice classic cars are gone... monster trucks crushed them all.

Nobody wanted em then.
