  • Get ready for a multi-part series of BIGFOOT's 5000th appearance, which took place back in September of 1989. Indianapolis, IN played host at the 4 Wheel Jamboree that year, which showcased every BIGFOOT from that time: BIGFOOT 1-8, Fastrax, Ranger and Shuttle. This first part (filmed September 28-29) shows the trucks being transported from St. Louis, MO to Indy and then being assembled and displayed at the Jamboree, capped off by one of the best picture opportunities of 1989, which was every BIGFOOT in one place at one time!

    The year was 1984, i was 9 years old, that year i'd had a canoeing accident and nearly drowned. That night i had an hour of non stop crying, as theshock was leaving my systen. After i'd dried my eyes, i vowed to my parents "i'm going to learn to swim. By october that year i was swimming. About the same time, over here in england,we started to get "BIGFOOT" commercials for the playscool toy. It went straight to the top of my christmas list. Christmas morning with my presents open, there was no sign of bigfoot. We had breakfast, got dressed, then my dad said " look under the tree, theres another present there for you" on the label it read, "to liam, well done on learning to swim, father christmas" once the paper was off, there he was in full glory, my own BIGFOOT. Pure magic, i still have him. Thanks BOB for creating a legend👍👍👍👍👍👍🤠

      Yep, and a certain corporate giant wants to have people who are new to Monster Trucks believe what they want them to believe instead of the actual truth and this industry. Us diehard fans know what the deal is.

    To say this is Awesome, would not do this moment justice.
    This became my all time fave BIGFOOT poster, which I got from 4 Wheel n Off Road when they did the article on BF#8.
    it hung in my room for many a year, even thru a hitch in the U .S. Navy( Hey Bob and all BF crew that served, Thanks for your service, Shipmates)
    and several apts. It now lives in a frame in my garage. Cool to see the work and coordination that was put into the photo shoot.
    Looks like it took LOTS of maneuvering to get #5 in place.
    Soon, I 'll send y all the poster in the hopes I could have it signed by Bob. Jim, and any of the crew that s still with Team BIGFOOT.
    I do realize it s been over 30 yrs, but one can try. From a fan for life, Thanks for posting.
