MONSTER TRUCKS
A Monster Truck Show as we know it today
was born in 1982 at the Pontiac
Silverdome when Bob Chandler driving
BigFoot (the original Monster Truck)
drove over a pile of cars in front of an
enthusiastic crowd. Usually, a monster
truck show involves the truck crushing
smaller vehicles beneath its huge tires.
These trucks can run up and over most
man-made obstacles.
A monster truck is an vehicle, typically
styled after pickup trucks, sports cars
or classic and themed automobiles
modified or intentionally built with
large / heavy wheels and heavy duty
suspension. They compete as well as
exhibit at popular Motorsports
Entertainment and can be seen featured
alongside Motocross races, mud bogging,
tractor pulls and tansformers.

In recent years, many monster truck
competitions include a "freestyle"
event. Similar to free style motorcross
with giant trucks, drivers are free to
select their own course around the track
and its obstacles. Drivers will often
perform a power 'Donut', also called a
Cyclone, spinning the truck in a high
speed circle, as well as in the case of
extreme drivers such as Bill Payne and
Rockstar, deliberately rolling the truck
over. This is one of the most exciting
motorsports events for the entire
family. |

FREESTYLE MOTOCROSS
Freestyle Motocross (FMX) is a the
incredible evolution of motocross racing
in which motorcycle riders attempt to
impress judges (and the crowds) with
hair-raising jumps and stunts.
Riders display their jumps — usually
covering more than 60 feet — from a
dirt-covered ramp. Riders demonstrate
their abilities by looking for difficult
tricks and variations over jumps.
FMX riders typically use much of the
same riding gear as MX racers including
a helmet,
goggles, gloves, boots, jersey and MX
pants often elbow and knee pads. Riders
may also choose to wear 'body armor' to
protect the chest and legs when
performing the most
dangerous of tricks. |
Riders use modified motocross bikes with
after market parts to lower weight and
improve performance. Riders will often
shave down the seat foam and add
steering stabilizers. Many riders will
also shorten the width of the handle
bars, to make it easier to put the legs
around the bars. Excess cables, such as
brakes and clutch cables are usually
redirected away from the bars, to avoid
riders getting their boots caught on the
bike. The engine and mechanical details
of a FMX bike are generally stock. |

TUFF TRUCK RACING
Tuff Truck racing is an exciting
off-road racing event consisting of
modified trucks (and sometimes stock
trucks for fun) going around a
Motocross-style course filled with
different jumps, bumps and turns.
Similar events held in indoor arenas are
called Pro Arena Truck racing. Trucks
are usually run one at a time, with the
quickest time winning. Sometimes events
feature trucks two at a time for added
spectacle.
Tuff Truck racing is usually seen at
Monster Truck or other Motorsports
events. Tuff Trucks are usually pickup
trucks that have been upgraded to resist
the rigors of arena track off-roading.
