With this year being the 25th anniversary of Snake Bite, this would be perfect to make this. This goes out to Colt Cobra himself. Enjoy the first two years of Snake Bite and Colt Cobra!
I find it funny that Gene Patterson's Missouri accent practically helped give away that Colt Cobra wasn't really from Cobra Creek, Colorado. I'm guessing that's the reason why that weird Bigfoot vs. Snake-Bite video had Colt overdubbed by an ultra-hammy "evil"-sounding voice actor. 29:43 I bet there was some fans in the crowd who were also railfans and couldn't decide on watching the trains pass by or watching the trucks race!
I believe these Snake Bite vids where he loses a lot/ breaks the vehicle somehow, they may have been kayfabe losing for a storyline with Bigfoot. Just like wrestling stories.
Reason why snake bite lost a lot wasn't like wrestling. When they would design and make new Bigfoot trucks, (Bigfoot, Wildfoot, power wheels) they would put a snake bite body on the old trucks. So most of the time they would be running an older truck against new technology. Colt cobra and Ricky rattler were made up names to sell toys but team Bigfoot would put newer drivers in that truck to develope them.
@@tomdahmer1352 yeah but back then we didn't know snake bite was part of the Bigfoot team. It dosen't matter to me I still think Snake bites a cool looking truck. It will be one of my favorites.
Thanks for this, watched these as a kid still the best racing i seen PENDA
My old friend Gary Porter raced snake bite in the old days of monster truck racing.

Damn forgot how often this truck lost. Still the coolest truck
Well, it was using an older leafspring chassis early on
11:26 did I just here "service shit down there"!?
Fucking sweet, i miss snakebite..if only monster jam would have them
+CandyInTheVodka Monster Jam won't have anyone who rides under the Bigfoot banner.
Does anyone know the exact date of the Union Grove race where he crashed into the shed?
Either late July or early August
@@DaltonHastings1 Thanks. Would you know what day? Just wondering because its the 30th Anniversary of this crash.

@@Roger-hp1yg without a doubt it's one of the coolest
@tomdahmer1352 Even moreso when Snake-Bite debuted, as it was running on Bigfoot 4!
I just found out that Colt Cobra was Dan Runte him self
Dan was Ricky Rattler. These two years Gene Patterson was Colt.
Then 1994 the part of Colt Cobra was played by Eric Meagher
@@ronsmith4927 yep n Eric Meagher was the original Cold Cobra. I believe I could be wrong.
@@Roger-hp1yg No Gene was the original Colt Cobra
They're the same person
