Boy, were we in for a surprise last Friday night! Having never been to a Monster Jam® show, we knew we were in for a fun (and loud!) time, but I never realized just how much fun it was going to be. Opening night was a ton of firsts for this family. We'd never seen a truck smash cars, never seen a Monster Truck fly through the air, and we'd truly never seen the competitive side of the event.
I gave away a 4-pack of tickets to Friday night's show, so I'm hoping they had as much fun as we did.
Couldn't make it to Consol Energy Center this past weekend or simply curious as to the goings on of a Monster Jam® show? I've got photos and the deets for opening night!
Grave Digger® and Pals
The ever popular Grave Digger® is getting ready to celebrate its 18th anniversary with Feld Entertainment, so it was no surprise that the monster truck is super popular and one of the most highly recognized trucks in the show. There were fans with large signs rooting for the truck and its driver, and it was a hoot to see how such a massive vehicle could be driven with such agility.
Grave Digger gave amazing performances in the Donut Competition, Freestyle Competition, and Fastest Time and Wheelie Contests, but it had some steep competition with Instagator®, Stinger®, Ramination®, Backdraft®, Backwards Bob®, and Rammunition®.
Did you know that the tires on Monster Trucks are 66 inches tall and 43 inches wide? That's five inches taller than I am!
Stingray® was probably my favorite truck's body style at our show in Pittsburgh. It's so amazing the detail that goes into making the trucks look great.
Monster Jam BMX Bike Show
In between competitions there's always really fun entertainment, and my family's favorite were the BMX Bikers. Highly skilled and super talented, the riders put on a cool show with high jumps, turns, and even flips.
Sad you missed the show? There's still time to make it to a Monster Jam show! Check out the schedule here for dates.
I received complimentary tickets to the Monster Jam® show to give you fine folks the scoop on Monster Jam. All opinions are my own! Feld Motor Sports, Inc. and its affiliates and related companies are not sponsors, endorsers, or administrators of this promotion.
