back when I was younger, an escalade was always my favorite truck, from the spinners to the plain black paintjob, every bit of it was pristine and I still feel the same today.
@@bryanlenihan5012 main reason i can't stand modern MJ is the track designs. Literally all jumps are hard soil that stay completely intact from start to finish so all trucks face identical obstacles, no variation. And there are so many jumps from all angle, literally all drivers get the same amount of air, etc. IT used to take actual SKILL to get solid freestyles, now you have no name drivers seemingly get the same air as Tom Meents lol I miss the track designs from say thr world finals in the early 2010s.
2:18 If there’s one thing that I love about George Balhan, it’s those ending Donuts, where he spins around and rips the steering wheel off, making you question “How is he doing that?”.
Trivia: For its debut and is billed simply as Balhan. Over the course of the season, the truck goes by many alternate names such as The Next Evolution, The Next Generation, No Name and NO Name. Eventually, the An Escalade name is settled
That was George’s nickname, and he created the Mohawk Warrior truck after it. Gotta love the guy, he’s one of the best drivers to never win a world title

Escalade is one of my favorite trucks alongside Maximum Destruction!
Mark Shreider and Scott Douglass were commentating GOLD.
That's one if not the main reason I can't stand modern MJ

@lbj2320 That's probably my 2nd thing I can't stand when all the tracks are the same
Scott Jordan and Adam Entiknap are good but they aren’t Scott Douglass and Mark Schreirder

He uses the stick lol😂
0:03 foreshadowing
BRING BACK ESCALADE
Gabe. Helland,Davis Dang right agreed. i love caddys.
it would be cool that it returns in freestyle at world finals 20. They would trade out one truck for this beautiful piece
+Mark Wood Mohawk Warrior is a Caddy, however An Escalade would be cool.
#WeWantEsclade!
+ThomasDaDoge Escalade*
I was there when George made that move...my goodness me...that place just went NUTS
Man Escalade was such a top tier truck
agreed, especially the white version at a world finals one year. So good.
Look at all the crush cars 😭😭😭
Aww bro..."RIP MOM" NOTHING in the world better to be called is a MAMA's BOY !!!!!!!
Yea sad😭
This was the first World Finals where Belhan filled the clock
2:35 Ryan Anderson before his debut with a Son Uva Digger shirt before the truck existed
Interestingly the earliest ideas and concept art for Son-uva-Digger already existed in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Those donuts are crazy
The spinners were the wow factor.
Little did everybody knew this was the truck’s last appearance.
Trivia: For its debut and is billed simply as Balhan. Over the course of the season, the truck goes by many alternate names such as The Next Evolution, The Next Generation, No Name and NO Name. Eventually, the An Escalade name is settled
Also Remember when they made a sign for "An Escalade" but they never put it on the truck
So Balahan is basically the Mark Martin of Monster Jam
Their Score: 31 vs My Score: 30
Should bring this truck back Spinners and all as it was
Mohawk warrior😳
That was George’s nickname, and he created the Mohawk Warrior truck after it. Gotta love the guy, he’s one of the best drivers to never win a world title
George Balhan was no bridesmaid, Escalade has won many before! I do think this would be the Co-Winner of Freestyle as well.
good ol donuts without a steering wheel LOL
This Superstar was the real World Finals Freestyle Champion!
Have you actually seen the winning run? Charlie Pauken, the actual champion, laid down one of the best World Finals runs in history
BRING ESCALADE BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bring back An Escalade, bring back my memories.
First monster truck to have spinners on the rims
Escalade > Mohawk Warrior
Midnight club 3 monster edition
i miss that sweet escalade not some cheap truck with a mohawk on it
Shiny pokesaur I’m pretty sure it’s still an Escalade body
Shiny pokesaur p
Shiny pokesaur
Shiny pokesaur well… it’s the blandest truck there is in monster jam… but, yeah I do like the body and wheels
This truck is still used
Sheeeeeeeh
This escalade is still in monster jam
Its mowhawk warrior.
If they made a you of am escalade it would of been a limited edition probably
George Balhan and Bryce Kenny are both great drivers. Bryce Kenny has more momentum than George did.
Watching in 2018
George is the icon
George is great not bad
Bryce=More Momentum
George=More Wow factor
@@ervinadrianadiscua4288 agree
George balhan, aka Mohawk worrier
So that’s how the Mohawk warrior truck came to be
Yes, But the Mohawk Warrior design is kinda lame without THOSE SPINNERS
Monster jam tell me why you did not make any an escalade die casts. TELL. ME.
My pink escalade my pink escalade
Who can hear the music in the background
Ryan Anderson lol 2:37
Hes like, Man... That what my dad has to beat?
He was lucky at the last move I bet if he didn't hit the ground before the time stopped I bet he wouldn't get a high score.
29
31 or Higher
MOHAWK WARRIOR IS BETTER! ESCALADE’S WACK!! 🌧
No
G Favarato Escalade is way better dem rims
