How come bigfoot doesn't do monster-jam?

 

Dunno...
YouTube - Bigfoot Tribute
^cool vid with lots of footage of our body style.

 

I more of remember the 92+ front Big Foot, but yea its sick.

 

Most all of the trucks that run Monster Jam are owned by them. This includes Blue Thunder, Grave Digger, all the dogs, etc. These are invitation only shows. Monster Jam does not want the competition from Bigfoot and they won't invite them or pay them to come to the shows.

 

Gotta love the older style fords. Wish they still used some of them. Nice vid tho

 

I have always liked Bigfoot ever since i fist saw it way back when.

 

My bet is that it has to do something with contracts, similar to boxing. There have been tons of great fights that could have been, but never where because of contracts. But sadly I don't believe Bigfoot could take on Dennis Anderson GraveDigger or Tom Meents MaXD

 

Those were REAL trucks to, now they are just shells over basically the same frames and engines and such. Anyone remember King Kong and Awsome Kong. When I was in High School in Killeen Tx. there was a wrecking yard that they pulled Awsome Kong into to paint it. It was the only one that had a big enough bay to get it in. Still they had to take off the tires and roll it in on rims.

 

Almost all of the "monster" trucks have a set of almost normal sized tires/rims for shop use. Those big tires are too expensive to go ruining them anywhere but at the track/show.

 

Found some relevant pics...

 

I've liked Bigfoot since I was a little kid. My favorite is the original truck after they put the 78 front on it. I remember when Bigfoot 7 was the big deal because they did some things to lighten up the truck so it was faster - it was a 87-91 body style. Bigfoot 9 was the racing one like in the picture at the top...I think it was the first tube frame truck. I also liked the early 80s body style trucks, but I saw a thing that said they put all 92-96 bodies on the rest of the bigfoots some years ago. I think only the original and maybe bigfoot 4 have the original bodies. I also liked No Problem.

 

 

Bigfoot 5 is just silly, lol

They use to a lot more with monster trucks, like in the video. Not quite as exciting these days IMO.

 

Bigfoot used to appear at the Monster Jam shows here in St. Louis, but I don't think it's been in attendance for the past few years (though I've missed the past few years as well).
