Thank you guys for all the support and love. Also I apologize for the misspelling of Michael at the end. You would think being my own name I'd get that right..
😂thank you Mikey for all of the amazing videos. No problem. You are doing amazing, and I bet mike is watching you from above, seeing how amazing you are doing.
Keep rocking Mikey. You do a helluva job in monster trucks and a great job with videos and giving us a behind the scenes look of what monster trucks are and how things go. I saw Steve Thompson a few years ago at a speedway show near me and he rocked the house. I am very sorry to hear what’s happened. I know it’s extremely hard. Keep your head up man. You’re a great dude and you do a great job with everything you’re doin’. Keep rocking!
I’m sorry about Mike Thompson I met him back in 2017 for a monster jam arena tour event he was so nice my deepest sympathies for you and the loss of your good friend I will be praying for his family, friends, and fans everyday
I know you've been taking it rough Mikey. But I'm proud you were able to come out for this event to upload this vid, great job because I know it ain't easy :) I made a compilation of all of Mike Thompson's moments on V2Vids. I was gonna upload it tomorrow but I'm not sure if I should or not :/
16:27 Maybe it's Joe Sylvester in disguise...observing how to be a Monster Jam Freestyle champion driver like you, and become the most powerful being in the universe...
Yesterday, we did a show for Jimmy Creten in Muncie Indiana and just before intros, I talked to the announcer (Cameron Migues) and he was telling me about the time he bet Mike that he couldn't get the crowd to chant "Big Trucks". But Mike was able to get the entire crowd hyped up by chanting "Big Trucks" to get the show started, so at that show we kicked off that show with a Big Trucks chant for Mike. It was a very exciting moment for us at the show to be able to throw something in for Mike while also keeping the spirits up.
Losing Mike really hit home, as a fan of both you guys and of Team Scream, and also of Natural Disaster racing, who I just saw a couple weeks ago in Gaithersburg and can't imagine what they're going through. Glad to see you moving forward, still turning in good performances. Mike would be proud.
Hey keep up the awsome work Mike. Mike will be up in the heavens above getting the best seat in the house watching you tear up the track. Rest in Peace Mike Thompson
That whole thing with John looking like Joey is so fun. Great stuff and the 👌 and 👍 during the nose wheelie was sweet!! Definitely missing Mike Thompson for sure😢. Love the ended of the video Mikey.
I never knew seeing him at MetLife and getting his autograph at MetLife and seeing him in your videos would be the last.... It’s very sad. #crushthestigma
New subscriber here. Just binge-watched all your vids and really enjoyed seeing Mike in them. He seemed a hard worker, great guy and a good pal. Really sorry for your loss.
Wow - I am so sorry for the loss of a great person. When I typed my last comment 3 videos ago, i didn't watch this video yet. R.I.P. Mike Thompson. Thoughts and Prayers to his family and to yours.
My condolences goes out to his family and friends as well as you all. I didn't realize who he was until the end of the video and I seen that photo of you two. Then I was like, I seen him in your past vlogs. I know it has to be tough on anyone who knew him and his family. I didn't know him personally and I got this sad feeling when you mentioned of his passing and I've never met him. He may be gone, but I'm sure all who knew him will never forget him. Great show considering the circumstances and that Turbulence truck looks pretty sweet. Again, my condolences goes out to you all and his family and I'll be looking out for the next video.
Didn't know him at all but seemed he made friends everyday. Was a good driver. I've been watchn Monster trucks all my life, and honestly besides the big names , I never payed attn. But you changed my outlook on that first time you responded to me. I was like holy sh$t , this famous driver talked to me. And then I learned of your dad and so on. I'm sorry for the loss of Mike to the monster truck community and his family. I live in Va so Since he was a maryland man , he's good with me. r.I.p. mike. How abt yall just push yalls trucks to the limit for him for the rest of the year.
Another great vid. 1 day at a time. All of us our here for you. Keep it going. Rip Michael Thompson and remembers you will see him again one day and he will always be with you.
Keep your head up man and don’t forget why you do what you do day in and day out.. it’s never easy losing someone close but i promise it will get better.. time heals all wounds.. keep moving forward and always do what you love.. RIP Michael
the fact that bad news travels fast was there is kind of ironic in a way. As in the passing of Mike has reached thousands of Monster jam, and monster truck fans REAL FAST. R.I.P. Mike #Neverforget
Some days the life is hard but we need to keep going and win against these obstacles as you did in your competitions :) you're a pro and I support you ! Love your vids :)
Mad respect for still putting out a video. Your dedication is unmatched I hope everything gets better for your family as well as mikes family. He’s smiling down watching above 🤘🏽🤙🏽
There's no right or wrong way to deal with losing a loved one, everyone has to find their own path - not something you want to have get experienced in especially at a young age. The way I have come to deal over the years is to bring them up whenever a situation comes up they would be relevant in or to remember something funny or cool they did in those situations. Sorry you lost a friend, RIP.
I met mike years ago at the bash on the beach event when he was driving for jim, and I instantly knew that he was a natural and the future of the sport, he was nice, a great personality and I went out of my way to see him go to every event he drove at, regardless of the truck he drove, I was a big fan of his, and I still am.....mike was the same age as my daughter and it really hit home hearing about his death, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry
Take as long as you need to heal we'll all be here when you get back these fans of yours are the most loyal on UA-cam we are here for you and your family
I'm so sorry for your loss Mikey. Please stay strong. . Steve Thompson hang in there man... I know how it feels to loose your brother. I lost my brother a few years ago. But hang in there. Stay strong God bless you guys.
Howdy V2 Vids (Mikey Vaters Jr)! I'm very sorry for you friend, Mike Thompson. I hope things would get better soon and I hope you'll remember a lot of great moments with him. I'll watch your videos Mike, good luck in 2019 buddy.
Thinking of you guys depression is a very hard topic to talk about but we need to get it out there say that it's okay to talk. Keep it up Mike and let's Crush the stigma of Mental Health awareness best of wishes for you and the Thompson family
Good to see you guys having some fun after the hardships this week. See you in a few hours at the Buck, I'll be the one with the BKT bag full of stuff. Just make sure you got a camera for me to run.
*to people that dislike anything on this channel...the only good reason to dislike something is if the title shows something that’s not in the video or if the person making the video is being a jerk / interfering with people and that’s never even close to the case here
I’m sorry Mikey I know it’s hard back in first grade I lost one of my dear friends to a car accident but let’s forget about the bad moment and remember the good moments he gave us
Mike Jr: They said you don’t talk enough Mike Sr: These boxes are gonna fall when he loads, I keep telling him! Mike Jr: Alright, he talked. Me: Btw, High Octane Coffee is awesome!!
From a random stranger on the internet, thank you for for making these videos and unknowingly memorializing Mike for everyone. Take care of yourself and those around you, nothing in life is guaranteed.
Mikey! Ya know I've actually got a ECX Axe (1/10th scale) RC Monster truck and since Mike drove Axe before i know i can drive it with pride at competitions i need to put a #neverforget sticker on the back of my Axe truck in rememberance of Mike.
Mom and I lost our friend that we moved up here in Missouri and I didn't know that he would be gone mom and I talked with him and he had been fighting headaches and he died of brain damage rest in peace Tony Patti
