I was at this one and remember it well he broke his arm and collarbone and punctured a lung in that wreck that's why he stopped driving but Dennis will always be the king of monster truck drivers
I did that every year with my dad, but monster jam decided they arent going to do it anymore near my town, now we gotta drive for 5 hours to get there;(;(
Thanks man! I appreciate it very much! Doing my best to keep them away from other things that could be filling their mind.... Loud trucks and mud seem to do the trick LOL
He was going to retire that year anyway lmao Dennis announced a few years ago that 2017 would most likely be his last year so you can't really blame the backflip.
I remember seeing Dennis for the first time… he was a god when it came to racing and free styling… when I found out he retired my jaw just collapsed and my heart sunk. I hope he’s doing alright right now.
I know is a comment from 4 years ago, and yeah, that is a good comparision, looking Earnhardt's crash looks like an "innofensive" crash but everyone knows what happened (of course for a nascar crash) Dale's crash didn't look so horrible like others, example Geoff Bodine, that crash looked fatal, and deadly, but miracously he came alive from that, and in this time looked like another "innofensive" monster jam crash, but no one expected Dennis was very badly injured, now in comparision like Senna, Bianchi or Hubert, well those accidents looked horrible and fatal, so I think doesn't have the same amount of look alike and comparision, a perfect example of why HANS devices are very important for the safety of the drivers, fortunately Dennis is good still today probably enjoying his retirement with his family..
Yea it is! Reminds me of myself when I was a kid LOL They got like 100 Monster trucks under their bed. We just got tickets for the Triple Threat in Tampa for September too :-)
This man is a legend. So many crashes and he keeps getting back out there for the fans. If anyone here hasnt kept up on him, hes back at it racing his newly improved Mega Truck - King Sling. 1400HP and half the weight of a Monster Truck, take a good guess at how those races go!!
I mean if you pay attention he's old and can't do what newer younger drivers do and he probably knew And didn't want to hurt himself and most drivers wait till the truck is flipped over No hate
Was in MetLife a few years back to see Max D pull of THE front flip of the century. You will never see beauty like that through a TV Screen, like you do through your own eyes.
Exactly its no were near the same on tv iam from pa and we go to the carrier dome in syracuse ny its awsome. The kid loves it and will keep doin it every year
Grave Digger is the monster truck association's answer to the WWE's Undertaker. They should've let the deadman drive Grave Digger to his gimmick matches. P. S. If I ever build a monster truck, I'm going to call it "Hell-Raiser." That would be awesome!
As a guy who grew up a boy watching and going to monster jam shows this is why I will always have a disliking for what monster jam has become their new dirt backflip stuff instead of crushing cars and busses costed us fans a legend I'm very glad he didn't get even more hurt in this accident no doubt the shows are still very fun for everyone but just not the same and these stunts they expect the drivers to perform seem insanely dangerous I mean look at this prime example no hate intended just pointing out the obvious
Man I am not American but I always have a huge respect for epic drivers in my heart. Then also Grave digger is a legend, been hearing about it from childhood, have seen grave digger in games only though!! If I will be lucky in future maybe I get to have an autograph and a selfie with this legend driver, he earned respect and we call from now Sir Dennis Anderson ..
Wicked sound on that video ! It felt like I was in the stadium!! 2 thumbs up!!! It's just too bad Dennis didn't land that back flip, still was a great run though. Awesome!!!
As soon as you hear that first dong of the bell... you know the greatest monster truck driver is coming aka Dennis Anderson this man was bad to the bone for 35 years
I swear that truck cannot do one run without flipping over. I always liked what Bob Chandler said " anybody can flip a truck. It takes skill and talent not to flip a truck."
The insane amount of Redundant Safety Features That monster trucks have did help in keeping him from becoming worse these trucks weigh in some cases over 12k lbs. The level of control that these drivers have is almost other worldly He might have stopped driving but the Legacy lives on and lets just say the folks that have been taking on future mantels of driving the Raging 12k lb beasts of human creation just get more and more talented.
👍 well 90% of Grave Digger. ☠️ He must have had one hell of a night! Grave Digger was always my favorite. I somewhat fondly remembering watching Dennis at Reunion Arena as a young boy. I say somewhat because Reunion Arena is completely enclosed. Then add ten monster trucks and a robotic dinosaur that shoots flames. Good times!!
Sebastian Roblox, ect there is no windsheild, that flew off with the body, the roof/tube chassis? yes it caved in on him, his truck stalled mid air and he couldn't get the rotation
It sounds like the dad is having more fun than the kids 😂
Just a little LOL
LOL NICE ONE
Ling Yagk I prefer the real thing the smell... oh yes and the dirt flying up
@Ling Yagk video games aren't stupid.....
@Ling Yagk well they're equally as fun, I play and go to em myself.
Dennis Anderson will always be the best Grave Digger driver of all time in my book
100% Accurate
I think it's tom meents
I know a lot of good drivers have driven for the digger team, but dennis is the only GD driver in my book.

@@Lilnaslover077 when exactly did Tom drive Grave Digger?
I was at this one and remember it well he broke his arm and collarbone and punctured a lung in that wreck that's why he stopped driving but Dennis will always be the king of monster truck drivers
Darryl Mcknight oh yeah for sure
Looked like it really fuckin hurt too
no after he retired he still ran his King Sling mud truck, not sure if he's still going with it though
Darryl Mcknight yea him and Max d
Darryl Mcknight well he did invent freestyle
Spending quality time with your kids. They will definitely thank you later man, way to be a dad.
I did that every year with my dad, but monster jam decided they arent going to do it anymore near my town, now we gotta drive for 5 hours to get there;(;(
Thanks man! I appreciate it very much! Doing my best to keep them away from other things that could be filling their mind.... Loud trucks and mud seem to do the trick LOL
Im taking my son to his first monster jam show soon. I always liked monster jam as a kid now he will enjoy it too
They don't have this in the UK 😳
No one knew that this backflip ended a era of monster jam.
U cant beat dennis!
He was going to retire that year anyway lmao Dennis announced a few years ago that 2017 would most likely be his last year so you can't really blame the backflip.
Yep 😭😭😭
Tom Meents can lol
He drives a truck called king sling
@@ecs1_lmw838 Tom meents is immortal
I remember seeing Dennis for the first time… he was a god when it came to racing and free styling… when I found out he retired my jaw just collapsed and my heart sunk. I hope he’s doing alright right now.
He is,he drives a mega truck named king sling and has been doing so for a few years
Fortunately, this did not turn into a Dale Earnhardt incident.
Or even an Ayrton Senna/Jules Bianchi/Antoine Hubert accident
bruh i just watched that before this
That's something i never want to see or happen in Monster Jam...
Thank God
I know is a comment from 4 years ago, and yeah, that is a good comparision, looking Earnhardt's crash looks like an "innofensive" crash but everyone knows what happened (of course for a nascar crash) Dale's crash didn't look so horrible like others, example Geoff Bodine, that crash looked fatal, and deadly, but miracously he came alive from that, and in this time looked like another "innofensive" monster jam crash, but no one expected Dennis was very badly injured, now in comparision like Senna, Bianchi or Hubert, well those accidents looked horrible and fatal, so I think doesn't have the same amount of look alike and comparision, a perfect example of why HANS devices are very important for the safety of the drivers, fortunately Dennis is good still today probably enjoying his retirement with his family..
As someone who looks up to Dennis, this was painful to watch.
Thank you Mr. Anderson for years of entertainment!!! God bless you Sir!!!
Monster Jam has always been one of my favorite childhood memories
Same I prefer old Monster Jam but I still like new Monster Jam too
isnt it the greatest feeling to see a smile on there faces when watching MONSTER TRUCKS!!!!
Yea it is! Reminds me of myself when I was a kid LOL They got like 100 Monster trucks under their bed. We just got tickets for the Triple Threat in Tampa for September too :-)
YourNextDJdotcom lol

I'm crushed that Dennis Anderson is done driving
Coleman Koskinen He's coming back.
Dylan Martin shut up
Thank you
Coleman Koskinen no problem
Coleman Koskinen he's not retiring he is just not gonna be in world finals no more
2:23 you think he's done. But not Dennis. If that truck will move its moving. He leaves that truck broken every night for the fans.
Damn, it's crazy to see Ryan run out there to help him. He looks pretty worried.
Sad. Grew up watching him. Still live Grave Digger.
Its actually sad that no one knew that Dennis was injured 😔
Yeah 😢
I was back born in 2015
3:15 thats really gonna hurt
allmotorhash yeah broke his neck
Pamela Purvis rip him
Extreme_FinYT Minecraft end coming bruh he didn’t die
Yea it looks pretty damn bad
Parker88 his back
Grave digger always gives a great show
Gravedigger flips or catches fire at everyshow lol its his trademark
Erick Fernandez that’s why the call it grave digger
So does max-d
Sam it liitary has flames comeing out of it most of the time
Dad of the year award. Kids will remember this the rest of their lives.
Next show in Tampa is gonna be here soon, and we hot our tickets ready! ;-)
Man i always want to go but my perents never tacke me
They really need to use more zip-ties to hold that body on...
It hit the cockpit
Yeah they unbolt and cut half of the connecting pionts. Just to make it look like he drives out of the fiberglass. Max D rules
R/wooooosh
They don't use zip ties
They do now
I remember seeing this when it first happened and saying to myself "why isn't Dennis getting of that truck"
I mean if you pay attention he's old and can't do what newer younger drivers do and he probably knew And didn't want to hurt himself and most drivers wait till the truck is flipped over No hate
Famous last words 😥
Was in MetLife a few years back to see Max D pull of THE front flip of the century. You will never see beauty like that through a TV Screen, like you do through your own eyes.
Exactly its no were near the same on tv iam from pa and we go to the carrier dome in syracuse ny its awsome. The kid loves it and will keep doin it every year

my friend was at this show and he said he is hurt and in the hospital :(
when I was probably 4 I got his autograph
Guille Sosa Bad to the Bone - George Thorgood
Grave Digger is my first favorite Monster Jam truck
Same
Grave Digger is the monster truck association's answer to the WWE's Undertaker. They should've let the deadman drive Grave Digger to his gimmick matches.
P. S. If I ever build a monster truck, I'm going to call it "Hell-Raiser." That would be awesome!
Theres an image somewhere of Undertaker walking next to Grave Digger back in the 90s, Pretty rare though
lmao
Exactly.
Wcw did something with them
That could be steve austins truck
Dennis Anderson is the best in my eye
Of course But He broke his Arm But STILL WE LOVE HIM 👍 ✌ FA

I would love for my son and daughter to go see a monster show they would have a blast
One run Anderson. Dennis Anderson. I like grave digger. He is the greatest monster truck racers ever
When I used to go to Monster Truck rallies my favorite part would be when the differential would go wrong and send sparks flying everywhere
That orange glow!
YourNextDJdotcom those old ring and pinion brakes were HOT!
LOL!
You can't kill the beast!
4:07 I heard boom
Ame
What kind of phone took a clear ass video like that???
aaron cross LOL Samsung S7
aaron cross my Galaxy Note 4 takes Crystal Clear videos
Ouch
I’m the biggest grace digger fan and this breaks my heart 💔
Man I am not American but I always have a huge respect for epic drivers in my heart. Then also Grave digger is a legend, been hearing about it from childhood, have seen grave digger in games only though!! If I will be lucky in future maybe I get to have an autograph and a selfie with this legend driver, he earned respect and we call from now Sir Dennis Anderson ..
Same here in Trinidad bro from time to time I have followed this monster I hope some day I can meet them both man and machine before our time is out
Wicked sound on that video ! It felt like I was in the stadium!! 2 thumbs up!!! It's just too bad Dennis didn't land that back flip, still was a great run though. Awesome!!!
That man is my hero he inspired me and he is what I want to do when I grow up this man is a hero to all kids who like monster jam
A Legend!
Ya me too I want to be just like him too
As soon as you hear that first dong of the bell... you know the greatest monster truck driver is coming aka Dennis Anderson this man was bad to the bone for 35 years
The dad is having more fun then the kids
My friend found access to the RII and he learned they shut the truck off mid flip stoping the rotation getting him to land terribly on the roof
We all have to admit grave digger is a fan favorite
That day was the end of an era and we didn't even know it
Ben Martinez-Romero ye 2:07 he got injured but that backflip finished him off
I swear that truck cannot do one run without flipping over. I always liked what Bob Chandler said " anybody can flip a truck. It takes skill and talent not to flip a truck."
Some dads can be like kid again
*am a 10 year old kid that is a monster truck driver and that same thing happened to me i was bleeding but no broken bones*
No your not
My favorite is monster energy but i think anderson was the best tbh i think even the new grave digger is pretty good
whos better? Bigfoot or Grave digger?
Grave digger.
Going to see these end of May in Cardiff Uk
1st time can’t wait 👍
Grave Diggers son is the best monster truck driver out there
The people screaming lol
Good times man, good times!
Yea It was good
0:32 what the funk!?!?!?........BOI😐
That dad is having blast goddamn lol
this video is so wholesome
Grave digger: does backflip
Backflip ramp: “I’m about to end this guys whole Career”
And it did.
I was going to say what kind of hair cut is that on the dude in front of the camera but I realized it was a hat lol
I thought the same exact thing 😂
How many times is he going to say yeah
The insane amount of Redundant Safety Features That monster trucks have did help in keeping him from becoming worse these trucks weigh in some cases over 12k lbs. The level of control that these drivers have is almost other worldly He might have stopped driving but the Legacy lives on and lets just say the folks that have been taking on future mantels of driving the Raging 12k lb beasts of human creation just get more and more talented.
I was there that was saddest monster jam moment for me because he was my favorite grave digger driver 😢 😢 😭😭😭
Man im still disappointed we basically didnt get a farewell tour only like a few shows in his retirement tour (if you can really call it that)
B
About
S
I’m kinda curious what would have happened if Dennis never broke his back
Me to man I am a big fan of the grave digger
He didn''t.
👍 well 90% of Grave Digger. ☠️
He must have had one hell of a night!
Grave Digger was always my favorite. I somewhat fondly remembering watching Dennis at Reunion Arena as a young boy. I say somewhat because Reunion Arena is completely enclosed. Then add ten monster trucks and a robotic dinosaur that shoots flames.
Good times!!
0:11 u can hear a song and its called T.N.T. by AC/DC(one of my favorite songs :D)
This was on my birthday oh no
the dad was the awesone part
Im confused.. did his windshield collapse on him.. or did the roof just collapse on him?
Sebastian Roblox, ect there is no windsheild, that flew off with the body, the roof/tube chassis? yes it caved in on him, his truck stalled mid air and he couldn't get the rotation
Nice vid
I was the 300 sub
Thanks dude!
that's not good man, no wonder he was out for so long
Benjamin Tatro He'll be back.
Isn’t this camping world stadium
Where they hold the word finals now
I dont get it. Was he supported to land on his head like that orrrr?
Whoa! Paramedics, come on down! HEHEHEHEHEYHEHEHEHHEHEHEHYHEHEHE
dennis anderson should put more speed on that backflip to get a perfect landing
Mark Valencia dis nigga
Having a blast! That's awesome!
Is he ok
im love grave digger
jelly time that no English
Bruh I had a grave digger truck toy and your telling me he had an accident.
What a legend.!! True entertainer right there
Who's controlling that scale rc Traxxas
Idk
The man!!!!! Landing on the cage like that is soooo tough on these guys :/
GIVE IT UP FOR DENNIS ANDERSON AND GRAVE DIGGER!!!!
Why would he just crossed like that instead of his dripping when I said
The backflip wasnt the careerending blow... it was the landing from 2:07
I hope he's okay
The Kids are just like: yay someone is injured. I mean i think the Stunts are entertaining but why would you cheer if someone hurt himself
It's not like there's a camera inside to know he was hurt, Every show you are expecting to see flips and rolls.
Dennis Anderson is a real Og. The man took launching those trucks to new levels and was a game changer.
Ouch he's injured
But why did Grave Digger do his suspension Wong and he didn't drip well
Didnt the roll cage fail or something
No
Thanks for the spazcam.
Who ever film this is greezy
Much love homie!
I miss that throttle rhythm
Damn. Is that the crash that made him retire?
Thinks so.
Hes still racing. But with Mega Trucks, look up King Sling!
Too much of any one thing isn't good for you. I hope he recovers.
He drives king sling now right
Apparently there is a team max d he has almost done a double backflip
Don't follow monster trucks so not trying to get shit going. But what happened? Was driver ok?
Dan Muscarella it was sad that grave digger got 3rd place
he was injured but he made a full recovery
Screaming at a crashing truck. Such intellectual intelligence.
chill dennis anderson my bro
I miss the original Bigfoot
Bigfoot and grave digger had quite the friendly rivalry back in the day.
