      It is the pinnacle, the highest point. IMO 10s are given out like candy if you look at other competitions and sports w.e, a 10 should ONLY be given if EVERYTHING was PERFECT and NOTHING can be improved upon!

      Actually, TC2 got me thinking that Monster Trucks might not be all that bad. I started wondering how MT freestyle compares irl to the game in terms of point structure (i.e. how much is based on hitting certain parts of the arena, how much on tricks, etc). Starting to get more interesting for me, I used to think it was all just "what truck can crush cars the flattest."
      Structure is pretty different but in the end you need to do some of the same things anyway so on the surface you do get a similar appearance in some respect.

Engines only have about 20 hours of run time before they are swapped out…. The planetary 3 to 1 gear system is amazing…. And the engine faces backwards…. The axels turning in the wrong direction…. With a simple shifter and two pedals to lock your feet in place…. Monster Trucks are absolute BEASTS….

    How did they manage to keep it together and not go as crazy as the whole stadium went?

    No way that was an accident. The timing was just perfect and he nailed it .

      He said it was an accident. That is a move grave digger used to do alot where you wheelie into a jump and get a sky wheelie. He claimed he was “going for a wheelie jump and suddenly found himself front flipping”

      Definitely rehearsed! It had to be perfectly calculated to land the front wheels on the side of that mound. Without it the truck would slam head on into the floor. Or it could’ve just been luck !

      I am a gymnast, I started when I was 6 yro and never stopped. I competed for 6 years then got hurt so stopped competing and worked onbparkour and free running. I coached gymnastics at a gym since I was 17 and im 34 now. I can tell you your mistake was not throwing your arms up properly in the set and most likely throwing your head back then getting scared and tucking your head stalling the whip back and putting you upside down. Best what to do it is throw your arms up to eyebrow level and jump up, while in the air look foward to the horizon by tucking your head into your chest while leaning back in the air then you keep your head tucked while dumping your knees over your head (like a backward roll) then open up after the rotation happens.

      There was once a footballer that did a backflip after a goal, landed on his neck and died, just like that. A freaking backflip.

      Kevin Snyder go watch monster trucks live. It's a life changing experience. You'll be grinning ear to ear for a couple hours straight. TV does them no justice.
