MONSTERJAMONLINE

MONSTER JAM hits the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff – returning after the record-breaking 2007 show – for a one-off show on 7 June 2008. The high octane MONSTER JAM is a stunning family show consisting of the coolest monster trucks and freestyle Motocross with some of the world’s best drivers, sickest tricks and craziest stunts.

A monster truck is approximately 11 feet tall and 12 feet wide. They are unique custom-designed machines and weigh a minimum of 9,000 pounds. The tyres alone are 66-inches tall! Monster trucks are built for short, high-powered bursts of speed; these beasts generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and can hit speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Monster trucks can jump a distance 110 to 115 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side by side) and up to 25 feet in the air.

All monster trucks have names – returning crowd favourites Grave Digger, Monster Mutt, Maximum Destruction, and El Toro are already confirmed for the Millennium date, Saturday, 7th June, eight more will be announced soon; making a total of 12 trucks. The monster trucks compete in two different competitions - side-by-side racing and freestyle. Side-by-side is the traditional format - the first truck, with the least penalties, across the line is the winner. The freestyle competition allows drivers a limited amount of time on the open floor to show off their skills and outrageous tricks, jumping and crushing as many obstacles as possible.

if it don't it won't be for lack of glitz. they claim their '07 show was record braking....

they already have a good lineup of committed trucks. except for Bigfoot, there's not another truck more famous than the Gravedigger.

Bigfoot will always be more famous because it was the original monster truck. Bigfoot and Gravedigger have had some classic runs against each other. Good Stuff.
