I've met this guy on vacation once with my kids, and honestly to be a famous person hes so humble and will talk to you like ur his bestfriend, he picked my kid up and walked him into the shop and was showing him around which was awesome.. strongly recommended to go out and visit the shop and gift shop and take the ride in the back of the monster van around the little track they have setup it was pretty sweet yet still felt like chilling with your buddy's at home
Everyone there are awesome, the whole family are super cool people, like they dont act better than you like some celebrities, they act like you guys knew each other from growing up or something.. and if you have a kid or your just a big kid like me.. this place had tons of stuff to check out related to monster trucks, there was a 55 gal drum in the corner of the gift shop with old rods and pistons from the motors for souvenirs lol..
Slim Willy OMG, I would end up buying the entire 55 gallon drum! We currently live in Arizona, however we are moving to Pennsylvania this summer, we already normally go to the outer banks/myrtle beach area every year for vacations, but now that we would be driving and no longer flying that’s going to be one of the of the first things we do after the move! Thanks for the heads up!
Loved the in depth dive of this build bio. Also, very cool that he brought extra parts as a "here I can show you want it looks like", instead of just describing it.
Dude Ryan could of just been “born into” and rode coat tails of his father. But he didn’t. He took it to the next level and this is what I respect most about him. That and family values. He took perfection and made it more perfecter ... gotta love the Anderson’s and all muh diggers
I could listen to this guy talk about Monster Trucks for hours. And I don't know anything about Monster Trucks. He does such a great job explaining. Such a refreshingly honest likable fellow.
It’s amazing growing up and knowing the Andersons as a kid and watching my dad, Paul Cohen, drive and build chassis and innovate the sport. Quite an amazing childhood.
One of the best episodes in a long time, lots of good questions and Ryan has the knowledge to answer them, not only that but he does go into interesting details and takes time to explain everything. please more of these!
I loved his dads interviews back when I was kid , made me a huge fan . His son isn't no slouch. One of the best , coolest, drivers. He gets it . His attitude will keep this type of entertainment going for years.
There is no joy like the joy of a child that has seen his first, second, and then each and every subsequent monster truck. Truly, that's what life is all about and this gentleman here gets paid to hand that joy out to the masses like oh so much thunderous horsepower and tire smoke. I doff my cap to you sir.
I think it needs to go on a shirt... “If you don’t run ratchets it’s because you don’t drive hard enough...”. Hellz yeah much respect Ryan you da man!!
No joke...my mom use to build ceiling crane & hoist for a company out of New York called Shephard Niles in montour falls...... I could listen to him talk for a year....he is so detailed and explains everything!!!!!!!!!!!! Anderson's are the real deal!!!!!!!!!!! F.E.F.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love that he knows everything about his truck. Not only is he one of the best drivers in monster jam, he also knows everything about it. You don’t find that level of knowledge in other motor sports. The drivers are the drivers and the mechanics are the mechanics.
It's funny I was just thinking this morning about how I miss when Hoonigan was one channel before it split into 30 different channels I used to watch it all the time and it was one of my favorites but since the split I really haven't been watching it, it seems like years now. But this morning this monster truck build popped up and I watched it. I just miss when all the boys would hang out doing dumb stuff together, making mechanics quit from having their handywork destroyed so quickly and without remorse, instead of each hooner being on their own trying to make compelling content. It just took away the magic. Maybe it's better for views and advertising but I guess that's the way she goes.
The Anderson/digger team is already the baddest monster truck/driver combo to exist ever, but after seeing him explain the machine in and out seeing how hard it is with all these switches and stuff,I gained even more respect.
AyeRaxX420 man I’ve been following his build for close to a year now😂. I was at the last Burnyard Bash where him and ken block were there. I probably know more about the build than you do homie. Don’t give me none of that “smh” bs man I just like Hoonigan content and want to see how much info they could cram into an episode about the car
@@djgruman3869 so you just want to watch something that you already know about and seen. I don't get it... But I guess bro. You might have the time to waste. No biggie bro.
Always been a huge fan of Grave Digger and Dennis Anderson , its badass to see Sonuva Digger not only carrying on the legacy but raising the bar . I want to spend a day with him and his Dad, that would be the most epic day ever .
@@danny3115 Thank you so much! Can't wait to see it. It was nice that he brought some parts to explain and show exactly what he runs. Actually seeing the size of the planetary and those joints was awesome. Thank you, Dan!
I find people in motorsports are, in general, pretty accessible and appreciative of their fans, but the monster truck guys really take it to a new level. Ryan couldn't be more excited and engaging about his craft. Such an amazing dude!
I love Build Bio, always awesome to see various automotive artwork, how they were build and the thought that goes in them. The one genre that I haven’t seen on yet is lowriders. Sure, they don’t always have crazy HP, but they are rolling works of art. Anyway, keep it up, love the channels, and stay safe
Just to add on and hopefully catch some attention, my dad runs a tractor that's powered by a helicopter turbine, and there are guys in the States running multi turbine powered tractors. Some truly wild builds!
At the start I thought “hmmm, that kinda looks like Grave Digger Monster truck from my childhood.” “damn, Monster Jam was the best” And then i see the lettering. 😍
Such a wonderful episode. This truck is mindblowing, and Ryan Anderson did such a great job talking about the truck and was overall a pleasure to listen to. Nothing but respect for him and his team.
I love the beadlock has a nice bend to it that has been pounded back to as close to straight as possible. Ryan is a beast!!!! The apple did not fall far from the Anderson tree!!! Your Father is a true legend and superhero in my mind..
Anyone else wondering wtf is up with the different comment section on youtube now? How come I can’t rewatch the tangent streams ? You’d have to use a whole bottle of tire shine per tire lol son of a digger
I honestly didn't think I would nerd out on this episode as much as I did. Way bigger appreciation for monster trucks & the drivers. Awesome episode Hoonigan!
This was school!!! Ol’ boy knows his business and is so ready to throw down knowledge. I’ve seen the ‘goons rap all about the peoples rides with them needing to say nothing. He brought parts and comparison gear ,a crew to pull the wheel. Thanks for this one!
Can we all appreciate how clean the truck is for this build biology? I wonder how long it took to clean it. My eyes are happy seeing that level of detail.
@@chrismusiclover9893 since when bigfoot seperated from tnt because tnt wanted to be fixed like wrestling back in the day. I think as of last year they had 20 trucks around the world still doing shows
Team Hoonigan lets get Donkmaster from South Carolina on Build Biology next time he comes thru Cali with his Gap Sauce! His Z06 Donk is a pretty engineered beast taking down modded Dodge Demons and other high HP cars on the track with an LS, Nitros, Manual Transmission and 26+ Rims and tires no slicks.
I respect how much this driver can tell you about his vehicle and the engineering end
That's because he builds them too. That's how that family has always been. Getting in there with the boys!
Well when your born into a legacy........
@@magradrift6271 literally
and the whole story behind it

That's so great to hear. He seems like a solid guy, family focused too. Not to mention he drives a monster truck!
Dennis hes pops is a nice guy too
That’s incredible! Couldn’t imagine how cool that had to be for your kid! Would love to take my son there!

I really enjoyed this overview on all the hardware and Ryan Anderson seems like the most down to earth dude ever
Agreed. Although I would put this Patrick dude right there with Ryan on sympathy alone.
ua-cam.com/video/bKEovEgodaA/v-deo.html
His father basically created the sport. hes gotta !
Can confirm he’s one of the nicest guys ever I’ve met him, his brother and their dad a handful of times and they are the nicest guys ever
@@kieranabbey6418 i thought bob chandler did in st louis with bigfoot in 1979?
Loved the in depth dive of this build bio. Also, very cool that he brought extra parts as a "here I can show you want it looks like", instead of just describing it.
Yeah, Ryan became prepared!
“If u don’t run Ratchets it’s because you don’t drive hard enough” the best quote of the day😂😂
well ill push my vortec 4200
I was about to comment this
Legend!
Thanks for actually quoting it properly!
Then I guess I need to get me some ratchet belts in my Vtech powered Accord...
This guy is awesome. Mad respect for how cool he is explaining things.
Morgan Norville hell yeah. You can tell he really loves what he does.
@@AustinSchargorodski He was holding back or a lot got edited out. Ryan loves the nerdy stuff.

You ruined his shirt
So we're just going to gloss over him saying they have 90 motors. Lol
Nah, Scotto already asked for one for a Donk project.
It will definitely be badass.
I'm like did he just say "we got 90 motors" ... rewind yep 🤯

One liner that made somebody check themselves.
Gonna put them in my Honda for all those Gs
👎👎👎👎👎
Dude Ryan could of just been “born into” and rode coat tails of his father. But he didn’t. He took it to the next level and this is what I respect most about him. That and family values. He took perfection and made it more perfecter ... gotta love the Anderson’s and all muh diggers
I really like how he can literally explain every part of his truck perfectly!
It's like tattoos but you ACTUALLY have cool stories for them... LOL that made me laugh so hard.
Best one liner from Danger Dan.
I died at that as a digger fan
I just started my channel where I go into the mountains with trucks and try and wreck em. Hoping to make some folks smile!
This is the coolest video I’ve seen during quarantine. Grave digger was my childhood and it’s awesome to hear some history behind it.
I could listen to this guy talk about Monster Trucks for hours. And I don't know anything about Monster Trucks. He does such a great job explaining. Such a refreshingly honest likable fellow.
It’s amazing growing up and knowing the Andersons as a kid and watching my dad, Paul Cohen, drive and build chassis and innovate the sport. Quite an amazing childhood.
I believe your pops built his brother Adam's Legend/Taz truck and his dad Dennis' XX. Please correct me if I'm wrong though. Great stuff!
nopey noperson my dads built more chassis than I can count for monster jam, me and him still build chassis out of our own shop now, actually
Can we be friends? Do you like pizza? I can bring pizza?
Wish Paul continued driving in the sport
nopey noperson we love pizza man
This is rad. Ive been following monster trucks since the early '90's (Im 32!). So glad to see ryan carrying on what his dad started
One of the best episodes in a long time, lots of good questions and Ryan has the knowledge to answer them, not only that but he does go into interesting details and takes time to explain everything. please more of these!
I loved his dads interviews back when I was kid , made me a huge fan . His son isn't no slouch. One of the best , coolest, drivers. He gets it . His attitude will keep this type of entertainment going for years.
I wonder how many bottles of tire shine they went threw on those tires 😂
20 pur tire😂
A gallon per tire
all of it
they just spraypainted them gloss black. Faster and cheaper lol
500 gallons

I doff my cap to you sir.
i love how the driver can tell you as much about the car as the dude that built it. respects to you man
Love this guy, Brash and flash at the track but really knows his onions, and seems like a nice bloke.
Ryan is the best.
This guy is so interesting to listen to, even when he is actually talking about a big car crushing smaller cars. What a legend
Motorsport royalty. The Andersons don't get the respect they deserve. Whole family gets busy 💪🏼
I think it needs to go on a shirt... “If you don’t run ratchets it’s because you don’t drive hard enough...”. Hellz yeah much respect Ryan you da man!!

I love that Dan is just casually laying under the truck with his arms folded. Idk why but it made me chuckle
yes same here, i started thinking that it looked like an overhead view of them standing!
I love that he knows everything about his truck. Not only is he one of the best drivers in monster jam, he also knows everything about it. You don’t find that level of knowledge in other motor sports. The drivers are the drivers and the mechanics are the mechanics.
Dan is carrying this whole operation on his shoulders right now. Give that guy a raise.
100% passion to his sport. Nothing but respect for this MAN
_when you realize that sunovadigger isnt just a cash grab and a geniune homage to history, family, and respect to the sport as a whole_
REALLY nice to see the driver being passionate ASF about his truck and ACTUALLY know everything about it!
F*cking finally Build Bio is back! And what a better way to start it again than with the biggest truck you could find! 😂😏

this is so awesome i grew up watching grave digger twice a year sometimes and i have met dennis anderson a few times
zac is the perfect salesman
Right!?
Absolutely
Sasha Lemay sane, he makes ads not so bad anymore😁
I know Ryan Anderson grew up around this, but his mechanical knowledge of his truck is impressive. Helluva driver too
Finally!! Another Zach Commercial. Legit love those
The Anderson/digger team is already the baddest monster truck/driver combo to exist ever, but after seeing him explain the machine in and out seeing how hard it is with all these switches and stuff,I gained even more respect.
"It's like you're explaining tattoos but you actually have a good story"

Wow!! I now have a new respect for monster truck drivers!! Thanks Ryan and Hoonigan!!
That planetary hub is actually exactly how it is on the automated trains I work on and that truck breaks em. Damn.
The engineering and work that go into these trucks are so insane!
I wanna see a build breakdown of Rob Dahm’s RX-7. I’m talking like a 30 minute long video
There's better, you can watch the actual build process on his channel. You're welcome. Smh.

Don’t give me none of that “smh” bs man I just like Hoonigan content and want to see how much info they could cram into an episode about the car

I was so used to seeing build biology on that garage having so much space but thing is freaking ginormous
As a long time Monster Jam fan, it was awesome to hear Ryan talk about the truck in a more casual setting and explain everything.
love this and ryan, but it felt like he got cut off at every segment almost. i wanted to hear all he had to say. doesnt matter if its an 40min ep!
I completely agree
Feeling the same

Not a monster truck fan but you have to admire the work and design of the trucks and skill of the drivers.
Anyone else wondering wtf is up with the different comment section on youtube now?

Someone had to put tire shine all over those tires… damn
Serious respect to the driver and mechanics who run these metal freak shows!
