It also had a Kroger flag flying out the back of it. While Mutant certainly pulled out some sick donuts and cool two-wheel tricks, the hardcore effect of the truck was perhaps slightly mitigated by the fact that, unlike the other trucks, Mutant was a walking Monster energy drink ad. The overall winner in Columbus throughout the course of both Saturday and Sunday’s shows was a truck called Mutant, driven by Coty Saucier.
#MONSTER TRUCK JAM FREESTYLE DRIVERS#
Then there’s a two-wheel skills competition between monster trucks, a donut competition, another ATV race and then a monster truck freestyle, where the drivers do tricks as they please.ĭrivers won points via voting by audience members, and each run by each driver was punctuated by announcers begging the audience to pick up their phones to vote. The show starts out with introducing some of the trucks, and an ATV obstacle race. Monster Jam is 100 percent for the children, judging by the crowd that’s here. No one is even slightly drunk here, and no hairy men are shirtless. I could not have possibly been more wrong. There are children here, and hordes of them. I imagine the vibe to be that of a Nascar race mixed with a tractor pull mixed with a metal concert. I’m expecting to hear some country metal over the loudspeakers. I’m expecting congealed nacho cheese and hot dog relish on the ground. I’m expecting a lot of drunk middle-aged white men with hairy beer guts. It reminds me of a documentary on demolition derbys that I saw last semester, crossed with the Nascar race in Indiana that my dad dragged me to when I was 12. I know its a touring show of monster trucks, which are huge, decorated, souped-up pickup trucks that are loud and have names like, “Grave Digger” and “Maximum Destruction.” On the internet, you can see videos of these trucks doing flips and jumping over cars and through flaming hoops.
