I remember being in Fredericksburg and you eating a huge turkey leg. You started jumping out of the trailer acting like a cave man, waving your turkey leg like a club at the sky cause of the lighting and storm that was rolling through 😂😂
Growing up as a kid I was and still am obsessed with monster trucks. My family went to Vegas for the finals 3 times growing up and I spent most of my time in Vegas ignoring all the activities going on and watching the drivers wrench on the trucks and see how things worked. Thank you for making a channel that shows what it's like to be a driver and the work and sacrifice it takes! Good luck this year we enjoy watching you!
Love the pivoting during the nose wheelies. Great weekend overall dude, don't beat yourself up over those gremlins man, you made a lot of fans very happy! And another awesome upload to boot bro
Sorry that I am 15 days late watching the video. I was going to try and start watching the videos with my father as he really enjoyed them, but ultimately his health turned bad and he passed away this last Thursday. What a great vid Mike and thanks for doing this for the fans.
Great video looking forward to the wrenching video I enjoy them it’s awesome that your channel has grown so much I’ve been subscribed since late December and it’s grown a lot since then congratulations
Aloha!! Whenever I get the notification that a new V2 video is posted it makes me feel all warm a giddy inside. Lmfao!! Cant say it enough.....love your channel. Keep up the awesome content.
It's too bad the tailgate with the 2015 Champion broke. Great job though! Defidently running better than the last couple events. I'm a big fan of these small fair events, they're always really fun.
Mike vaters jr your videos are awesome bro.im from Hagerstown and it’s good to see the hometown guys in action.hopefully overkill evolution and black stallion will be at the Hagerstown speedway next year
We need to get you and your dad out to Charlotte, North Carolina next year for the Back To School Monster Truck Bash. It’s one of the biggest independent shows around and the trucks jump over each other in the racing course. You and your dad would burn it down in the freestyle course too. There’s no shortage of big jumps either, half the jumps are bus stacks. I’ll probably contact the track after this years show to see if they could book you.
Another great show with fun and excitment for the fans the rear steering gremlins are back sorry to see that could it be the ball switches bud or a voltage issue can't wait to see the wrenching video
Yes! Weekend was saved with the new V2 Vids Video! 😉 And Mike u are the Master of handstanding! I Looks sooo easy if you do this with your Truck! Safe Ride Mr. Handstand! 😉
Mike, I had no idea you had a channel here on UA-cam vlogging the events you attend. Just happened to see a link on Facebook. Will definitely be watching. Great content!!
Ohhh yeah! Bigfoot #11 back in the day and that wheelie run. Old #15 is still hanging in there and that truck was built back in 1994 if I'm not mistaken. Dan use to pilot that truck before they built #16.
13:36 the pizza that is being talked about sounds like a Little Valley staple from a little vendor called Campi’s... (especially if the tent was just outside the grandstand) they have been there every year for the past 15 years and will probably be back
Why don't you guys run a drysump oil system? Watching you stand it on the nose then watching your oil pressure go to 0 would scare me outta doing them! Motor has gotta cost a lot more than you could possibly win.
Keep the great content coming bud!!!!!! Serious question do you have to have a class a cdl to drive a monster truck? Still waiting on a #v2vids sticker for my Silverado lol
Hey I've got a fix for when you cut a tire that we use on our rock crawlers it's a 2 part cold patch mix contact Jake Burkey at Busted knuckle garage stuff works if it will hold up to the abuse of rock bouncing it should hold up fine for your needs
Build them stronger and they'll be better than ever built Ford tough built Ford tough built Ford tough did the batter better for trucks in the planet has ever seen
I remember being in Fredericksburg and you eating a huge turkey leg. You started jumping out of the trailer acting like a cave man, waving your turkey leg like a club at the sky cause of the lighting and storm that was rolling through 😂😂
it's a good day when Mikey uploads something

Vote Mikey Vaters ll for World finals 21 TWS competitor!!!
yes give him another championship
Yes i vote for Mikey Vaters ll for world finals 21
I know I’m reading this 5 months later but he’s been scoring high in TWS early this season so he might make it.
Issac GODLY 7 months later he made it to it but it was cancelled 😔
The very second the video starts, I am instantly reminded as to why I love watching the videos you make on this channel. Perfection 👌
Awsome awsome vid love inside shots from in the truck. Have a great day!!
Enjoy ur week off Mikey. Hoping to see u and dad in Auburn for the hall of fame this year. Wife wants the V2 stickers !!
Great to have u in my home town and watch u in person!!!
Tow-a-Saurus Wrex!? I love that truck! I had no idea it still ran... too bad it doesn't have the boom arm on the back anymore!
Awesome job I love it I was there on the last show
Nice man ! I really love Monster trucks !!!!!
Nice job out there glad to have met you in the pit party
Another great video! Always enjoy getting that notification that another video has been uploaded!
Keep on rocking, Mikey. Great stuff what you're doing.
Fav Channel on all of UA-cam these are so much fun to watch! Can’t wait to see that V2 Vids Decal on the back of the truck!
Aloha!! Whenever I get the notification that a new V2 video is posted it makes me feel all warm a giddy inside. Lmfao!! Cant say it enough.....love your channel. Keep up the awesome content.
Seven trucks at a fair show is impressive.
Idk how you weren’t voted to the Allstar competition you’re def one of the best active competitors!
Question, Mikey:
Why do you run an open diff in the front? Does it provide a better handle or is it just cooler?
How would it be more "cool" to run an open diff apposed to a closed diff?
@@gage9178 Idk, I couldn't think of anything else to say but "cooler"
Because it handles better
@@V2Vids ah ok, thanks for the answer!
Cool vid ! Hope to be running with ya soon my new truck is almost ready
Sick vid man stoked for the next 🤘🏼
It's too bad the tailgate with the 2015 Champion broke. Great job though! Defidently running better than the last couple events. I'm a big fan of these small fair events, they're always really fun.
Mike vaters jr your videos are awesome bro.im from Hagerstown and it’s good to see the hometown guys in action.hopefully overkill evolution and black stallion will be at the Hagerstown speedway next year
Cory Rummell has got to be one of the funniest driver to compete with. Lol 😆
Nice video Mike overkill evolution is looking good
V2Vids... often imitated, never duplicated.
Awesome video!

Looked like a decent show. Plus you had president Bursey. So there’s that.
Good job on the nose down (stoppie) on the two wheel skills
Nice run Mikey 🤟🏼
Cool. Vlog on channel UA-cam
Another great show with fun and excitment for the fans the rear steering gremlins are back sorry to see that could it be the ball switches bud or a voltage issue can't wait to see the wrenching video

Well, that one Wildfoot back then was a great example of that XD
Or was that Bigfoot #14?...
Ohhh yeah! Bigfoot #11 back in the day and that wheelie run. Old #15 is still hanging in there and that truck was built back in 1994 if I'm not mistaken. Dan use to pilot that truck before they built #16.
Nice dude

Badass video dude!! 🤘💀🤘
Get em, Mikey!
Awe man whenever I see your notification i get excited! Keep up the good work!
Mikey Vater: Kissing babies and shaking hands!
that oil pressure during the nose wheelie!!!!
What made you change the tailgate? To promote ur channel?
Yep it does me more good than having world champion on it.
Mike: I check the rod ends every, maybe, 3 shows?
Also Mike: I should probably check them more often....so?
Funny stuff! Lol
13:36 the pizza that is being talked about sounds like a Little Valley staple from a little vendor called Campi’s... (especially if the tent was just outside the grandstand) they have been there every year for the past 15 years and will probably be back
Hell yeah I want some pizza
