Monster Truck Show

I know that my parents took me to a show when I was a kid, but unfortunately I didn't quite remember everything about that. So, Amanda and I went see the Monster Trucks last weekend. I was just like a little kid when I walked in there and saw those trucks. I couldn't wait to see what they were going to do.

I was very impressed with the show, with the exception of the "commercials".

Here is what happened:

- Wheelie contest. The trucks went up to a row of three cars, popped up the front end of the truck and gunned it. Which made the back tires spin fast enough to bring the truck into a mad wheelie. AWESOME!
- Race off the line. The trucks would start about 10 feet from the other side of that row of cars. They had a dirt ramp leading up to the cars, so there was no dramatic front end wheelies. Anyway, they raced off a red/green light. Would ever made it over the three cars and across the line first, won.
- Freestyle. Used the entire course in whatever way they wanted to. 60 seconds to impress the crowd.

This guy actually rolled his truck over doing that wheelie. It was awesome! He was still able to compete the rest of the night too.
