Question Bigfoot vs. Grave Digger

Well I was just wondering who you guys like more and why. Bigfoot = original (74 F-250 4x4 that was built up over many years)monster truck, honestly races (no staged races or throwing races) invented 4 wheel steer for monster trucks. Grave Digger = a van, (50's chevy pannel truck) truck destroied weekly, fast, crazy freestyle, seems always to race unworthy componets (slower) improved suspension greatly. Ive been a die hard Bigfoot fan all of my life since my 1st monster truck show attended at around age 5 (1991) and still am but Bigfoot isnt realy advritised anymore (races in MTRA)and they mostly do small shows and fair grounds events. I want your opinion on BOTH truck and who you like better.

Personally I like Goldberg best. Is Goldberg still in Monster Trucks? But out of those two I have to say Gravediffer for the same reason as Goldberg. He lets it all hang out and doesnt hold back anything. If you cant be first be the best.

Bigfoot, because it has got the most advanced suspension system on any monster truck, it is even patented. i dont know the stats on it but it is awesome, soaks up everything.

I don't really have a fave since I don't really watch em that much...I like Gravedigger for his wicked freestyle.
I was just at a monster truck show about a week ago, and Bigfoot can def. do some badass doughnuts.

Thats for shure. A bigfoot power wheel was my first truck @ the age of 3(1989). I wore the plastic tires through a few times and then got some with ruberbands on them for real traction. Also mine had a lawn tractor batery in it when i got experenced around age 5.

Even though Grave Digger is from here in NC, I still like Bigfoot better. First, it is a Ford, second, it is the first true monster truck, and third, it just looks better.

The Bigfoot drivers actually respect their trucks, and do not deliberately try to tear it up.

Bigfoot is definitely Ford. Always has been. As far as Grave digger goes, I haven't seen any "spinoffs" like I have for Bigfoot. I think at one point in time there was a Ms. Bigfoot (a Ranger) and an Aerostar with tank tracks on it. I know I still have these toys at home, but I think they were the real deal, too. Plus I'm partial because the Bigfoot HQ is right here in St. Louis. Every time we go to my aunt's house, we pass by the factory. It's awesome to come around the clover-leaf and see the one sitting outside with the 10' tall tires on it. Grave Digger is nice, but my vote in this poll has to go to Bigfoot. As far as other trucks go, my friend's dad works with a guy that has his OWN monster truck, Big Dawg. Here's a link to the site. http://www.bigdawg4x4.com/ Coincidentally, it's ALSO a Ford. I've met the guy. A real class act. Be sure to check out the video.
