I'm 43 now and Big Foot has been part of my life for most of it. I have seen Jim Kramer and Bob Chandler in MSG in NYC and Nassau Coliseum on Long Island so many times when I was kid. My dad brought me to so many of these events. This video brought back so many great memories. Thank you.
I met Dan in Columbus, Georgia a few years ago. He was getting Bigfoot ready for a show & I was surprised to see him "assembling" it alone. He was a class act. I had pulled into where he was in my company truck & he answered each & every one of my 9000 questions & never seemed annoyed or even preoccupied. That's the way it should be. All too often, people in positions such as his can be short with observers or even downright rude. Dan was neither... it was very cool chatting it up with someone who clearly loves what he does, but cares about the fans too.
I'm 36 and have loved monster trucks longer than I can remember - I work in the automotive industry with 4x4's and actually learned a couple of new things about monster trucks from this video!
@150Spoke9 Just want to make a correction. I have been a "Big Fan" of Bigfoot. Congratulations on setting a (New Record: 219 Ft.) Thanks for sharing it with the rest of the TH-cam Community.
The best Bigfoot is still Bigfoot 4 - the first purpose-built Monster Truck. I remember seeing the radio controlled Bigfoot 4 at Radio Shack. I must've been maybe 5 or 6 years old. I wanted it so badly, but my parents wouldn't buy it. It was like $99.99, which was pretty expensive in the mid 80s. Later that year at Christmas I was completely shocked when I opened a gift and there is was - the Bigfoot 4 RC. I kept that Bigfoot well into my 30s even though the remote was gone and it was well used up. For so long I could not let go of it because of how much my parents sacrificed for that.
looks like he actually needed to floor the trottle just before he landed because he was landing nose first. if he didnt the front of the truck might have dug in on impact and went nose over end. anyone who has ever jumped a ramp on anything and landed nose first knows what im talking about. good driving by runte! . well done sir.
cocacola150dr also USA-1 is being brought back for the first time in 20 years next year. everyone is excited. the OLDEST rivalry in monster trucks is about to be revived.
monster jam is the best out there and entertainment value is awsome, only thing thats missing is a point system to see who wins in the end, other than that doenst get better
Big foot, gravedigger, etc. All of them are owned by the same company. Feld entertainment, they also own Disney on Ice and Ringling bros. Ringling bros might be closed now...
rovku.........You & all the little twerps thanking you are nothing more than lab chickens pecking the right button to get your little piece of corn "RIGHT NOW". I mean.......Heaven forbid you should learn anything. You don't know anything because ya don't want to LEARN anything. Which is also why you aren't interested in anything, other than getting your cheese burger "right now". And that is also why you'll never do anything BUT flip burgers, or work dead-end jobs like Walmart making minimum wage...........or laying on your lazy asses on mommy's sofa the rest of your life. I swear, you little candy ass snowflakes would just curl up & die if you ever have a flat tire only 10 miles out of town, and mommy doesn't answer your distress call.
Esses, veiculos são só emoção do inicio ao fim da competição. A preparação, desde a montagem do veiculo, até a pista, deve ser uma realização muito grande.
hellow car and driver,, i've subscribed to your channel and i 've enjoyed learning alot,, but it seems some videos do not open and it says (uploader did not make this video available in your country) well i live in United Arab Emirates where we really appreciate cars and all about it.. thanks for the great videos
A local guy who used to run a truck in the smaller Monster Jam events told me that Monster Jam owns grave digger and Anderson is just paid to drive and tear it up. There's your politics.
Couple issues with the analysis........ 1. The tachometer that is displayed shows idle RPM as he flies through the air 2. One of the main reasons he kept a high RPM and forward wheelspin was to keep the nose from pitching forward. Brakes and wheelspin affect body roll while in the air.
hm true but its a nice look at the modern monster truck, as they dont really do that much anymore since the early 90's on the old video tapes of monster truck action, I think its informative.
Very true I agree. But would be nice for Bigfoot to get more exposure then it does. Where I live Feld's Monster Jam is the only thing that comes through.

Kudos to the Bigfoot team for staying true to their roots and keeping Bigfoot Ford powered!!!!

Still the best Monster Tuck bar none! This takes incredible engineering. Also, best engine in the business I promise that.

Hereeeeee comes, Bigfoot, duck and cover!
James V bah god don't do it that man got a family dammit
Who's it gonna be!
There's already videos of just the jump on youtube. The point of this video was to explain HOW they did it, which some people might want to know.
I have loved bigfoot since a very young age. great work. hope they take revenge at bad habit soon again.
This is some serious Jumpin!
Awesome !! Awesome !! Awesome !! Just love this truck and the electric metallic blue is super cool !!

The original Monster takes a rifle back, Missourians Team Bigfoot!!!

By far the best monster truck team !
The first and only monster truck, bigfoot ☝️
Bigfoot is the king
The Trophy Truck body looks so sick on a Monster Truck
Super Bigfoot is a must see!
congratulations and awesome video

Nothing will beat when Bigfoot jumped the jet several years ago.
accessability to the gearbox Is amazing and being able to change the ratio so easy!!
The original badass.
Bigfoot 18 is freaking badass and besides the Bigfoot monster trucks have been my favorite
I like how Bigfoot 18 is a trophy monster truck
I'm crazy for these amazing trucks!!
Check out that hang time!!! Sasquatch got air babyyyy!
That is the most awsomest monster truck I ever seen in real life and I'm 11 bigfoot rocks
I got my picture taken standing in Big Foot's tire :D
@ Car & Driver: Job well done towards your Team for getting coverage from Bob Chandler & The Bigfoot.Crew. I've been always a big fan of. B
Na. I watched the whole thing amazingly. Good stuff
I love Bigfoot
best truck ever
Bigfoot indeed 😂, this game is fascinating
this is quite educational
Feld really has ruined monster jam, long live bigfoot
You get a sub for that
Not Entirely
jesus this was 7 years ago, you should see it now
Ford Power!
T J yes
I love this machines... nice program!! =)
Wish team Bigfoot and monster jam could work out their differences
The big foot trucks r the baddest trucks that Bob Chandler knows how to build the winnings trucks ever
What a AWESOME TRUCK
A beast 🔥🔥
Hella long! 218 feet! WOW *Crowd cheers and claps loudly*
Awesome!
looks like he actually needed to floor the trottle just before he landed because he was landing nose first. if he didnt the front of the truck might have dug in on impact and went nose over end. anyone who has ever jumped a ramp on anything and landed nose first knows what im talking about. good driving by runte! . well done sir.
The back shocks on bigfoot was so soft that cause the nose dive like grave digger...........did u get it??????
I think it was because he was at full throttle already.
You do realize that if bob chandler never did the car crush in that field there wouldn't any be monster trucks thank you bob !!
I wouldn't say that. USA-1 came out at the same time, as did a few others. Bob just did the first show.
cocacola150dr also USA-1 is being brought back for the first time in 20 years next year. everyone is excited. the OLDEST rivalry in monster trucks is about to be revived.
Bobs still the Man!!
monster jam is the best out there and entertainment value is awsome, only thing thats missing is a point system to see who wins in the end, other than that doenst get better
that was really great stuff!
We need more long jump competition with the monster trucks
America is awesome and Americans are amazing.
Killer vid!!
Thats right a real monster truck ! Unlike the monster jam circus . Go MONSTER X where the real monster truck and drivers are.
Big foot, gravedigger, etc. All of them are owned by the same company. Feld entertainment, they also own Disney on Ice and Ringling bros. Ringling bros might be closed now...
@@brianking9215 Bigfoot is not owned by Feld entertainment.
@@Revenraynehart I think you're correct about Feld ent. Owning the rights to big foot but he races for them now
Skip to the jump 20:08
Thx
Not all heroes wear capes. Thanks bro!
Don't tell us what to do Mr impatient
I enjoyed listening to how the truck is set up.

Like, wow, man; awesome. :D
Bigfoot American icon.
Hitting that camera stand like a diamond cutter. 1:58
what a jump !!
Esses, veiculos são só emoção do inicio ao fim da competição.
A preparação, desde a montagem do veiculo, até a pista, deve ser uma realização muito grande.
cool I like it thank you
Let’s Go!
hellow car and driver,, i've subscribed to your channel and i 've enjoyed learning alot,, but it seems some videos do not open and it says (uploader did not make this video available in your country) well i live in United Arab Emirates where we really appreciate cars and all about it.. thanks for the great videos
wow ive been out of the loop a long time...i remember when it was a modded '88 ford =)
A local guy who used to run a truck in the smaller Monster Jam events told me that Monster Jam owns grave digger and Anderson is just paid to drive and tear it up. There's your politics.
This is a real jump I was there in the circle closest to the ramp that day and it was bad ass
Amazing tech specs. Would love to work on a team
Best truck ever gyz❤
nice!
Well the point of the video was also to explain what goes in to building a monster truck, not just the jump itself.
thanx man
I Was at a Monster Truck Show, And I Did indeed see Bigfoot. It was a Big Glorious Truck. It was fucking Huge shall I say.
Time stamp 6:24........Check out THOSE "monster tires" on the truck in that scene........LOL.
I watched that truck when i was a child! B|
I wish to be a fan of Bigfoot.
massive jump.awsome

Bigfoot will never join Monster Jam, and the only reason... Monster Jam would not permit Bigfoot to have T.V. rights or some bs. God I hate politics.
I remember when they banned Bigfoot from competition,Bob had Andy Brass driving that #8. Wild suspension!
go figure,Big Foot running a Ford engine who'd a thunk it.
Cool One
He said that the sport itself is boring but the technology is great. You defend the sport by naming technical aspects...
monster truck madness
I wish BigFoot could be in Monster jam again.
hm true but its a nice look at the modern monster truck, as they dont really do that much anymore since the early 90's on the old video tapes of monster truck action, I think its informative.
Very true I agree. But would be nice for Bigfoot to get more exposure then it does. Where I live Feld's Monster Jam is the only thing that comes through.
Dennis Anderson sold the Grave Digger team to Feld Entertainment in 1998. Feld also owns monster jam so your right.
Apart from the classical over dramatic american voice over - great vid and insights - more importantly congrats on the record - amazing!.
Dan The Man In Bigfoot 18!
"Bigfoot is doing it in the air!"
is there a chance of having the list with the songs please ? By the way really cool episode you should keep on doing this series!
very cool
