- Plenty of monster truck shows throughout history have little to no public media of the event itself, but not all of them are as unique as this one, especially for Monster Jam. Find out what makes this one so special, as well as so rare.

I love these discussion style videos so much. Not many people doing this stuff for monster trucks.
MY friend DiggerFan93 said that he did go see every Monster Jam event in Houston since the mid-1990s and continued even in to the Reliant/NRG stadium era which continues on to this day and I showed him this and he said he may have been there since he does remember the sport evolve into the modern Monster Jam so it was nice to hear that he enjoyed this era of monster truck racing. So it is very much likely he may have gone to this show but doesn't remember a thing about it since it has been forgotten for almost 25 years.
There are so many overlooked crashes from the 1990s and 2000s of Monster Jam. I remember seeing that same Monster Patrol crash into wall at the Arco Arena in January 2000
Jack cooking something good
This is a huge reason why im always interested in the 2000 because The 2000 season had many obscure shows throughout the 2000 season not just this one.
Sandy 2009 is probably in my opinion the most obscure in that era that most shows at least some level of fan footage (late 2000s early 2010s)
2000 definitely had some obscure shows Monster Jam never mention like this as well as the first show in Raymond James Stadium in Tampa
Photos exist. No competition media exists of this Houston show. 1:30 .
Could you perhaps do a video similar to this one on the 2002 Paris show? That event is probably one of the most sought after, even more so that we have evidence that it was shown on TV as a live broadcast. There's probably someone out there that did record the whole broadcast and doing something similar to what you said in this video (perhaps not a bounty), it would surely grab someone's attention. After all, that is how the European Monster Jam episodes were found, it's just a case of putting the message out there and the right people coming across it
I second this. That show was the debut of Inferno wasn’t it?
@@TransDrummer1312 That was the 2001 Supercross event where Inferno first debuted. The truck didn't have the name at the time and only it and Grave Digger were present
@@tazzmaniandevilboy42I thought Madusa and Blue Thunder were also at the 01 show? I could have swore I’ve seen footage of both of them in that arena. Or was that the aforementioned 2002 event?
@@TransDrummer1312 No it was the 02 show that had Madusa and Blue Thunder, along with Spider-Man and Radical Rescue
I agree with this, except I think the 2001 event would be more fitting, since it was also a crossover between monster trucks and supercross. Not to mention, there’s no video of Grave Digger at the show, and only brief footage of Inferno’s run.

I have a couple of photos from the 2009-10 Evansville shows
Houston seemed to have a couple of interesting but largely unknown events. Like the thrill shows, which I think have a snippet of footage in that one El Toro Loco European episode. Always love watching your stuff, as I’m always looking to learn more about the sport I love, even if my love for its modern era isn’t hat strong.
Cool video! 2 questions: 1. Where did you get the music from the TNN days to play in the background? I loved some of the music they used back then and have always wondered if they were actual “songs” that can be found and played somewhere by themselves?
And 2 where did you find the clip at 9:33 of digger pogo-ing over the bus? The only clip I’ve seen of that show is the one in CM2 of blacksmith crashing a similar way. Always assumed it was a Canada show based on the concrete and dirt layout but never had a definitive answer of that event.
Very interesting video. As a huge monster jam and monster trucks in general, this is an event that I have never heard of or know anything about
Very interesting I had never even heard of this event myself so it was pretty neat to see this pop up. With that one of my pictures looked pretty good on screen to 😁
I wonder if this was kind of trial run for freestyle as a scored competition in the 2000 season
Any other obscure shows/events you could cover?
Monster Truck 2000 The New Millennium lol
@@theskicker8856that’s not obscure by any means lol
@@IlluminatorMTfan obscure or not it is quite weird
@@theskicker8856 how about another one that IS obscure?
hey @California Monster Trucks you should make a video about once in a lifetime monster truck events
Are you sure the Minneapolis show had 17 trucks? I thought it had 15. Here’s my estimated lineup:
Michael Vaters in Black Stallion
Paul Stender in Bulldozer
Dave Rappach in Rap Attack
Glenn Bowlin in Iron Warrior
Andy Slifko in Eradicator
Mark Schroeder in Devastator
Brent Warstler in Monster Patrol
Jeff Bursey in Towasaurus Wrex
John Seasock in Sudden Impact
Pablo Huffaker in Grave Digger
Don Borders in Mistress
Rod Schmidt in Carolina Crusher
Mike Dropik in Priority 1
Rick Busca in Chicago Outlaw
Bob Shea in Hyway Star
Please let me know if I missed anything or got anything trucks or drivers wrong.
I think I made a mistake during the voiceover, because that's the same lineup that I have as well. I can tell you that Mike Dropik was not in Priority 1, because he was in Tampa that night driving Bear Foot, so I'm not sure who was driving it.
@@californiamonstertrucks4655oh, I see. Any ideas on who drove Priority 1 that night?
@@williamseaman176 Wish I knew. Might have to ask Rick Busca.
@@californiamonstertrucks4655maybe Rick pulled double duty and drove both trucks at the show, similar to Brian Barthel driving Wolverine and Little Tiger in 2001.
Very interesting to see somebody that is not monster talk doing something that monster talk has not done and probably is planning to do no offense but great job
What's the black and orange truck at 3:59
Troublemaker
I bet the reason why is because the show seemed like it was a independent show more than a monster jam show and if monster jam was to release any coverage of the show monster jam doesn't want to be embarrassed or it was do to licensing disagreement
Licensing agreements with who? Also, all-independent lineups were common in Monster Jam at the time. This was only during the beginning of Monster Jam’s own fleet being built, so there were still more independents than USHRA fleet trucks competing for the league during this period.
@@IlluminatorMTfanapparently Milestone Motorsports
It’s sad, that biggest promoter of MonsterTrucks,can’t figure out, how to,preserve and Maintain video of this Motorsport. Even though, I continue, to follow the series,these people,Donot,see the Big Picture. Hello from Metro Detroit. G
Freestyle ruined monster trucks
Yeah no it didn't
@@peanutbutterjeff5364 What?
@@DuncanTave Sorry, I didn’t mean to reply to you. Mobile sucks.
It didn't
Lmao what are you smoking? Freestyle is literally the best and most post popular part of every monster jam show. You said 2 wheel skills ruined monster jam, I could agree with you but not freestyle
