The year was 1984, i was 9 years old, that year i'd had a canoeing accident and nearly drowned. That night i had an hour of non stop crying, as theshock was leaving my systen. After i'd dried my eyes, i vowed to my parents "i'm going to learn to swim. By october that year i was swimming. About the same time, over here in england,we started to get "BIGFOOT" commercials for the playscool toy. It went straight to the top of my christmas list. Christmas morning with my presents open, there was no sign of bigfoot. We had breakfast, got dressed, then my dad said " look under the tree, theres another present there for you" on the label it read, "to liam, well done on learning to swim, father christmas" once the paper was off, there he was in full glory, my own BIGFOOT. Pure magic, i still have him. Thanks BOB for creating a legend👍👍👍👍👍👍🤠
I don't know how you could pack anymore greatness in one video!! From those georgeous ltl9000's and aeromax's on the road to that display of the greatest monster trucks to the team behind it all! Thank you for putting this up!
Yep, and a certain corporate giant wants to have people who are new to Monster Trucks believe what they want them to believe instead of the actual truth and this industry. Us diehard fans know what the deal is.
What a badass job it would be to work for Bigfoot and get to assemble work on drive and race these beasts! I'm sure its all a lot of work, but totally worth it!
Bob was always such a visionary. This is only one of the many iconic moments he was responsible for along the journey of monster trucks growing into a mainstream motorsport. Thank you to the Godfather!
I've done watched this quite a few times now and I'm noticing quite a few faces. Rest in peace there Lurch! You were and still are a great asset to the Bigfoot team!
Definitely remember this footage from the Battle of the Bigfoots VHS and DVD. Love this type of footage! Thanks for posting and I'll definitely be looking forward to part 2!
That image of those haulers rolling down the highway had to have been a sight to see. Just like here shortly when the current haulers will be leaving GA and heading up north for the next stop for the Hot Wheels Ultimate Drive Thru.
Awesome just awesome. My absolute favorite is the original number one,the 74. Should've showed more of the King that started it all. Bigfoot will always be King.😉
Love how some of the trucks are still around to this day like, the tank, the ranger, bigfoot #1 and bigfoot #5 and the fact that the tank looks amazing now that it has been transformed
I wished Ford had stayed with Bigfoot. At least Bigfoot utilized Ford components and won alot with Ford. Not to mention that every time Ford released or updated a truck model , the Bigfoot trucks looked so good and represented it very well
Out of all of them I would take The 79 Ford F250 that would be the only truck out of everything I would want that is a gorgeous truck if I had money I would have you build me one just like it but street legal absolutely gorgeous what would something like that cost to build I will make sure I am sitting down hahahaha thank you very much for this video
times sure have changed with the definition of man.. putting 500lbs tires on like a fking man.... today's mechanic would touch that tire with there clean new rubber gloves
Bigfoots 2,3,4,6,7 are not apart of the current family of trucks. Bigfoot #4 is currently being restored and the other trucks are else where around the world. As well are the Fasttrax, Ranger and Shuttle. I think the only 2 trucks that are not in the USA are #'s 6 and 9.

I still have my Playskool Bigfoot truck packed away. I got mine I believe Christmas of 1983; one of the hot toys that Christmas.
The like button... TH-cam needs a love button! All the trucks and crews together for one event- what a moment in bigfoot history!

Thanks to Bob for recording so much history. I've seen Bob behind a camera as much as me at events. There could not be a better Father of this sport.
Yes, I was thinking about that when Bigfoot posted this video. I'd like to sit and just watch all of the footage that Bob has. 😊👍👍
Now this is true iconic history of monster trucks
Bigfoot is the one that actually started it all

Bigfoot The original and only real Monster Truck, Awesome!
Golden era
Yes, it was!
Them old Ford Semis were the best looking rigs
Said nobody EVER.
The LTL’s still look great. Shame you don’t see many about now.
Agreed.
@@beaulong3876the overwhelming majority disagrees with your close minded opinion
I was there for this. I remember watching them set up. It gave me chills hearing them.
What a badass job it would be to work for Bigfoot and get to assemble work on drive and race these beasts! I'm sure its all a lot of work, but totally worth it!
Boy the nostalgia hits hard
Bob was always such a visionary. This is only one of the many iconic moments he was responsible for along the journey of monster trucks growing into a mainstream motorsport. Thank you to the Godfather!
I want to see BIGFOOT racing again !
Hot Wheels tour is a great place to see them
Its a shame Ford go out of making big Class 7/8 trucks like the AeroMax and the L series. By far some of the best looking rigs ever.
They still make semi in Europe ford does idk y they stopped in the states
Such awesome trucks!
So cool . Been awesome to see them all together
I love these old videos
Such an iconic photo
I've done watched this quite a few times now and I'm noticing quite a few faces. Rest in peace there Lurch! You were and still are a great asset to the Bigfoot team!
Badass!
Definitely remember this footage from the Battle of the Bigfoots VHS and DVD. Love this type of footage! Thanks for posting and I'll definitely be looking forward to part 2!
I miss the old school days love the racing trucks but I missed the old school monster trucks
Thank goodness for TH-cam! I watch some form of the older footage every day.
That image of those haulers rolling down the highway had to have been a sight to see. Just like here shortly when the current haulers will be leaving GA and heading up north for the next stop for the Hot Wheels Ultimate Drive Thru.
Since Bigfoot is 45yrs old this year bring back. The Bigfoot van and Bigfoot Trax Van. That would be cool to see now days
The 1st two haulers @.45 seconds, iconic transporters. Just love them!
What screams America for me that's one for sure! 🇺🇲
Awesome just awesome. My absolute favorite is the original number one,the 74. Should've showed more of the King that started it all. Bigfoot will always be King.😉
Love how some of the trucks are still around to this day like, the tank, the ranger, bigfoot #1 and bigfoot #5 and the fact that the tank looks amazing now that it has been transformed
I thought the Ranger was long gone. That truck was quite a performer.
Kickass! Thank you Bob!
I have been a BIGFOOT fan when I saw it in the movie Take This Job And Shove It I even got me a 1987 F-350 with a 460
me to.and 4x4 lover.
FORD FORD FORD
I remember the original in Detroit lakes Minn in the 70s. I was a kid and it was awesome 👍
Talk about flexing. Big foot the biggest and baddest team ever!
Actual real trucks.
Had this on VHS when I was a kid and never thought I would see it again. I mean a lot of the clips from this was on the VHS.
A great team there at the end!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!!
AWESOME!!
I was there to see them all. What an awesome sight.
Andy Brass " getting a lol squerelly " lol. Those are the memories man
You guys need to bring out Battle of the BIGFOOT'S Back out on dvd! And BIGFOOT IN ACTION 1!!
They already did that years ago. Hardly anyone bought the DVDs.
How many Bigfoot trucks were there the year that this was created? This video is so frickin awesome to see by today's standards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They had up to #7 at this point. Also the ranger, fastrax and the shuttle. So ten Bigfoot vehicles total.
Forever 🔝💪👌👍❤️
That Ford minivan is tight!!!! I like that one
The Blue Oval Bunch👍
I wished Ford had stayed with Bigfoot. At least Bigfoot utilized Ford components and won alot with Ford. Not to mention that every time Ford released or updated a truck model , the Bigfoot trucks looked so good and represented it very well
11:10 awsome picture!!
The 80s were a wild time!
I'd love a poster of that picture
been to the old shop in st. louis , have not bee to the new one in washington mo.
Out of all of them I would take The 79 Ford F250 that would be the only truck out of everything I would want that is a gorgeous truck if I had money I would have you build me one just like it but street legal absolutely gorgeous what would something like that cost to build I will make sure I am sitting down hahahaha thank you very much for this video
5000 and counting
I see that original Bigfoot 😎❤️
The best
0:42
The convoy
Yeah, and that wasn't even all of the vehicles in that convoy.
@ end their.. I still have that poster fold out from a magazine
Bob I love you tell me when you're next monster truck show is with big foot 1 please I beg you
Bigfpet is the legend
times sure have changed with the definition of man.. putting 500lbs tires on like a fking man.... today's mechanic would touch that tire with there clean new rubber gloves
I can only imagine all the 😮when people got to see #8.
Wonder when the last time the tank van was run??
At the open house years ago under overtime trax
Is there a way to purchase Battle of the Bigfoots video from this event? I cannot find it anywhere and it’s one of my favorites
Suddenly I feel like Im 10 again....I havent seen Fast Trax since 89 lol. Recently bought a 89 F-150 too....Favorite was the White Chevy USA #1...
Ford.....whooped Ferrari's ass in Lemans, whooped GM's ass in outselling the Camaro, and was used to start the monster truck legacy.
So kool
Completely forgot about Ms Bigfoot aka Bigfoot Ranger.
1000 hp Hemi in a Ranger. 😳
I wonder if they still have all the original Bigfoot trucks today
Bigfoots 2,3,4,6,7 are not apart of the current family of trucks. Bigfoot #4 is currently being restored and the other trucks are else where around the world. As well are the Fasttrax, Ranger and Shuttle. I think the only 2 trucks that are not in the USA are #'s 6 and 9.
That's a lot of Big Feet...no! Big Foots...That's a lot of monster trucks!!!
The public debut of Bigfoot 8 if my memory is correct
When you get all your toys out at once...
I am going to be disappointed if the song convoy wasn’t playing in those trucks
I saw it as a kid
Battle of the Bigfoot's
💪💪👍👍👍
big bad and blown!!!!!!!!!!!!
who was part of the fan club they sent me that 5000th poster and pin and soe smaller poster a month
Just got a sub from me. 😁😊
Where is bigfoot now
Ohhhh, Bigfoot is still out there. They have quite a bit going on despite what's going on in the world.
There headquarters are in Pacific Missouri right outside of St Louis One of there trucks sits right along highway 44
what about 10,000th?
Hardest working crews in motorsports!
🤩🤩🤩🙂
I want to ride in Bigfoot 5
it was a ride truck in 1992 for one show
#bigfoot4ever
Where is Bigfoot #1 and Miss Bigfoot??
miss bigfoot turned into the ranger in this video. foot 1 had the chrom wheels
Bigfoot 1 was there and at this particular time Miss Bigfoot was painted Blue, so the Blue Ranger with the dual wheels was the Miss Bigfoot.
In the group shot from right to left: Bigfoots# 's 1,2,4,3,5,6,7,8, Bigfoot Shuttle and in the middle left to right the Bigfoot Ranger and Fasttrax.
At 1:19 is Bigfoot 1 which is the 1st truck behind the sleeper of the truck that's transporting it.
1:44 is a good shot of it on the transporter.
