His Triple bus stack jump was perfect His was awesome but dont forget Chuckie's run in 2010 and Todd Leduc's insane run in 2014 and ofc Jimmy K's run in '03
This was the REAL Monster Jam, not the joke that it is today. Drivers giving it all, no matter what, to win Racing and Freestyle, with unique styles that defined each driver and monster truck. Now, we have truck clones, the same tricks and boring tracks that all look the same. Whether it's Las Vegas or Detroit, Jacksonville or New York, it's literally the same: some ramps here and there, with something for backflips at the back end. Monster Jam today is a shadow of itself and I fear it will never reach the glory of the 2000s.
If they add some cars Vans buses to the ramps and stuff they have now I think it will be crazy good.. does anybody agree? For example imagine putting a camper/ mobile home in front of the backflip ramp they go through it then hit a backflip
@@ddickens7145 I like monster jam too ... Just not today's Monster jam... It's not the same as before.. when they had cars/ buses they could crush and stuff
These freestyles brings back so many good memories, this version of Monster Jam was the reason I became a fan. Now I can't stand watching an event, I get that tricks are cool and that it takes skill, but the formula really great, so I don't get why they decided to change the formula.
@@papajohns6283 Nah if they break off a wheel now they just shut the truck down. I remember when that Run happened with Tom. I think he was pissed off because it was the second time a broken wheel ruined his run, I actually had a hard time watching that because of how pissed he was that he couldnt really perform, and how the truck was abused. In the DVD extras, while looking over the truck at the end of the night, the look on his face, he was not happy about everything that happened in general.
The '04 World Finals has to be the most chaotic and carnage-filled I've seen. I love how they just left half the wrecked trucks out there on the track and I wish they'd do that again nowadays.
1. they do 2. i don't like it, it made the track all cluttered & they were left out for no reason. unless a truck is stuck on an obstacle, all trucks need to be removed
2000: a sort of deserved victory (things were different back then) 2001: a deserved victory 2002: a deserved victory 2003: a deserved victory 2004: the triple tie wasn't deserved , the runs were short so they should've been scored lower 2005: a deserved victory 2006: sort of deserved victory (it could have been better) 2007: a deserved victory 2008: a good run, clearly enough for the judges, and in my humble opinion a deserved victory 2009: knowing the driver, it could've been better, but still a deserved victory 2010: a really well deserved victory 2011: a well deserved victory 2012: a really well deserved victory 2013: that didn't deserve to win 2014: a well deserved victory 2015: that didn't deserve to win 2016: that didn't deserve to win 2017: it could've been better 2018: a deserved victory in comparison 2019: deserved, but certainly not the best thing ever.
It’s refreshing seeing Medusa win and not everyone immediately talk about how much of a righteous woman she is for crushing the patriarchy or whatever. They just treat her like a champion. God I miss those days.
i miss the old tracks like these all the cars busses to crush and jumps ment for HIGH SPEED AIR do they even still bring rvs out for freestyle anymore?
Yeah thats bullshit, feld is a billion plus dollar corporation, they can easily afford cars & such & they scrap them afterwards & can make money back, it doesn’t help their case either that smaller leagues with smaller budgets have cars still
Independent monster truck shows with miniscule budgets and crowds have literally 2-3 buses and dozens of crush cars. But FELD with its stadiums and FS1 contract can't get a single RV or a few buses for World Finals even? Either FELD is cheap and/or the BKT tires can't take driving over too much metal.
What about spin master? Last year they released for the first time ever in the history of the monster truck die cast world, Boogey Van in 1:64 scale since it did not have a toy of it.
I was at the Northern Nightmare win, and at the LAST MJWF in Las Vegas, I remember seeing freestyle, and Avenger hit the wall next to the back Grandstands, and he almost hit the crowd. Was amazing and I wish they kept it in Vegas.
FanGuy67 Yeah, I mean the crush cars have always been around, and they aren’t as exiting as they used to be, but smashing through trailers was one of the best parts!
This was real Monster Jam. Ramps made of Car and Bus/Semi stacks, Fountains, Running over mobile homes. I miss it. While the giant air and backflips today might be exciting, half of Monster Jam today is just a balancing act
2000: Deserved 2001: REALLY Deserved 2002: Deserved 2003: Deserved 2004: The three-way tie was not deserved. Only Tom should’ve won that year. 2005: Deserved 2006: Deserved 2007: Deserved 2008: Really deserved 2009: Deserved, but WAY over scored. 2010: Really deserved 2011: Deserved 2012: Really deserved 2013: Not deserved 2014: Really deserved 2015: Not deserved 2016: The judges were high 2017: I personally think it was deserved, but I know a lot of people think that Neil deserved it. 2018: Deserved 2019: Just… fuck fan judges. 2022: Deserved 2023: I don’t know why so many people thought Cole should’ve won. Ryan Anderson deserved it in my eyes.
Great takes, especially on 2015, 2016 and 2019 Question for 2013, if it wasn’t Meents, you think Pablo Huffaker deserved it? That would have been awesome
Edit: Jesus sorry this is so long 🤦♂️ Honestly one of my best memories as a 5 year old is when my dad ordered the Monster Jam World Finals 1 on Pay Per View in 2000. We sat on the countdown screen waiting with genuine excitement to see a large scale Monster Jam PPV like you would for a Boxing fight or for UFC. I even remember my dad getting his blood sugar tested and i asked my mom for it too only to cry when i found out you got poked with a needle lol. I distinctly remember holding onto my little "throbbing" finger (while crying) right as - *-The Very first race in World Finals history* starts, which was GoldBerg VS WCW Nitro An ironically fitting pairing to be sure, but also really nostalgic; because those 2 trucks are just so cool and old school dispite them *literally being licensed by a wrestling company.* Its probably my nostalgia goggles, but the 1998-2002 run was just a bit magical compared to anything later
Massive throwback to when they didn’t shut down the trucks for the smallest of breaks on the trucks, and when drivers were allowed to continue past their given time in freestyle. What a time it was to be alive
14:00 when the money isn't the problem and you've already pretty much totaled the truck so it doesn't matter if u cook the engine aswell and go for a maximum destruction ;)
max D got his name by being the best at tearing up the course in freestyle but now it's lame must be the everyone wears a helmet and gets a trophy era my mom won't sign the permission slip and we can't spank kid's snowflake and pussies
Monster jam will never be the same 1999 to 2015 were the best years world finals 15 was the last best world finals and I grew up watching monster jam and I was so hyped to hear Scott Douglass as the commentator I love when they ran the shit out of there trucks until they almost exploded breaking things smoking engines blowing transmissions not this shutting off bullshit bkt tires shit monster energy backflip shit just good ol plain motherfucking monster jam
Newer monster jam may not have as much destruction as the old monster jam, but you’ve gotta admit the raw talent of the drivers and the engineering of the trucks is far improved nowadays.
i didn’t think there would be that much hate in the comments, i went to the finals in 2012. definitely isnt the same as it used to be last time i went was a few years ago in 2019 in phoenix. we walked out before freestyle though but seeing what sonovadigger has been doing lately is making me want to buy a ticket for this yr
Crazy how each year in the 00s they took huge steps forward. Until seemingly progressing backwards whilst equaling the competition with everyone having the same damn near setup. And no crush cars.
It’s pathetic now. They blow a tire, or smoke the tiniest bit and the truck gets shut off. Someone loses a piece of the fiberglass shell on the track, they go ahead. Kill the truck. Remove the debris. And continue Whack.
watching this again makes me realize how awful the scoring at world finals 5 really was. lupe and madusa shouldn't have scored anywhere close to a 31, and even though tom did significantly better, it was definitely not worthy of a 31
Grave digger got a 30. His run was a 20 at best. Dennis Anderson called out the judges after they gave him a 30. He said like “no way, there’s no way that’s a 30. You judges need to get your act together cause that ain’t no 30”
@@polaroppositeparanormal9318 yeah even dennis realized that they weren't doing a good job at scoring. i think 2005 onwards the judging got a lot better at the world finals (until recently of course)
How do you have Adam Anderson do an incredible freestyle in 2008, but then Air Force Afterburner does the most boring, simple time filler and end up winning in 2009?
Because they arent judging the 2 scores against one another...? 2008 had better freestyles, which resulted in more impressive runs. 2009 had more ended up having more runs end early due to crashes or equipment breaking. Which results in a lower bar set for winning the competition. If *nobody* is able to complete a full run, seeing someone *complete a full run* is already a plus in the eyes of the judges. Just because one event is newer than tue other, doesnt mean its somehow going to end up being better than the previous event, thats not how it works lol.
Nah you’re underrating Bradshaw’s run, very technical freestyle and took some big risks when you watch the rest of World Finals X It was a very punishing track
@@Thunder103093 My point is, they had the six judges as early as 2000. I think in 2002 is when they established the reinsertion of the high and low scores for the tiebreakers. But in some of the other early World Finals (2001 and 2004), they only had four judges. 2004 of course was when the three way tie happened between Madusa, MaxD, and El Toro Loco. Of those three, I think Madusa deserved it the most since she actually saved the truck after knocking Bounty Hunter off the stack.
Why dont they even bring out cars anymore? When people think monster trucks, they think destroying cars I can kinda understand no more boxcars, but no cars?
There is no way that scott still enjoys commentating on this. I mean the sport used to be so much better. He's been with so many other commentators. He CANT enjoy the new monster jam, there's no way
I Feel Like Back In The Early 2000s One Crazy Move Got You A 🏆💯 Either Way It Worked Back When Monster Jam Wasn’t About The Backflips On Purpose Just To Help You Win But I’m Still A Big Monster Jam Fan Either Way.
Some rare events they do like for the all Star show they had cars and such but it may have changed but thank god it's one of the only sports that hasn't changed a ton like others
whats so funny was that year they did 4 judges when every year before hand except 2001 did have 6 judges & seeing how the 1st 4 years the winner won by a 1 except 2001, i will never understand why they did that
Grave Digger is awesome & bad to the bone Monster Truck ever seen & Dennis Anderson is a great driver of Grave Digger & i would like to meet him & Adam Anderson Kirsten Anderson Ryan Anderson cause it would be awesome
This is how I'd rank all the runs in this video from worst to best 16. Madusa 15. El Toro Loco 14. Grave Digger 13. Bounty Hunter 12. Team Meents 11. Maximum Destruction (2013) 10. Avenger (2003) 9. Captain's Curse 8. Avenger (2011) 7. Northern Nightmare 6. Monster Mutt 5. Air Force Afterburner 4. Maximum Destruction (2006) 3. Taz 2. Goldberg 1. Maximum Destruction (2004)
Am I the only one who honestly finds it really sad that Dennis Anderson only won the freestyle world championship once? 2006 should have been a tie between Dennis and Tom, 2016 should have been Dennis (no disrespect to Adam). The competition he created 😢
Tom Meents winning racing Twice in Goldberg 2000, 2001 Once in Team Meents 2002 Thrice in Maximum Destruction 2009, 2011, & 2012 Tom Meents winning freestyle Once in Goldberg (2001) Once in Team Meents (2002) Twice in Maximum Destruction (2004, & 2006) Once in Max - D (2013) Tom Meents winning 2 wheel skill once in Max - D (fire) (2019)

She was a wrestler before getting into Monster jam as well.
after 2015 dropped she did not say her opinion, so she doesn't get fired and YES THAT IS TRUE FELD IS RETARDS.

@@derbyjr your 100% right

I wonder why we don't see monster trucks crushing cars and smashing through trailers now-a-days.
For real. I came here because I miss the old World Finals. Back when it was just racing and freestyle. And back when it wasn’t just lame dirt ramps
Ok
FanGuy67 Yeah, I mean the crush cars have always been around, and they aren’t as exiting as they used to be, but smashing through trailers was one of the best parts!
They say it's for safety, and because apparently the more the cars are crushed the better advantage for performance. And you can only crush so much.
Because the BKT tires suck and cant handle anything more than two runs without having to be changed out.
This was real Monster Jam. Ramps made of Car and Bus/Semi stacks, Fountains, Running over mobile homes. I miss it.
While the giant air and backflips today might be exciting, half of Monster Jam today is just a balancing act
And the other half?
@@electricshokee racing
mean while in 2019 MOST RIGGED WORLD FINALS FREESTYLE SCORES!
Yup
The scores were not "rigged" it's just that fans can't judge.
Brian connor I wouldn’t say can’t. I’d say shouldn’t. Fans do know how to judge, but they shouldn’t be allowed to in order to avoid bias.
Allowing fans to judge means there going to vote for the trucks rather then rate the performance that needs to be stopped immediately
Well it’s like mad scientist front flip his run was mediocre but he did a front flip so the fans just though it was cool

can u get me in to wwe 5155,s sign up series
So tom madusa and Lupe all won it that year in 2004? Wish that could happen again now!
My 4 y/o knows all the monster trucks names , he loves this.
How do you have Adam Anderson do an incredible freestyle in 2008, but then Air Force Afterburner does the most boring, simple time filler and end up winning in 2009?
I think alot of Damon’s run after time expired was counted towards the score like his double jump & cyclone
Because they arent judging the 2 scores against one another...? 2008 had better freestyles, which resulted in more impressive runs.
2009 had more ended up having more runs end early due to crashes or equipment breaking. Which results in a lower bar set for winning the competition. If *nobody* is able to complete a full run, seeing someone *complete a full run* is already a plus in the eyes of the judges.
Just because one event is newer than tue other, doesnt mean its somehow going to end up being better than the previous event, thats not how it works lol.
Nah you’re underrating Bradshaw’s run, very technical freestyle and took some big risks when you watch the rest of World Finals X
It was a very punishing track
I really feel Blue Thunder should've won at least one world title. In my opinion, Tony Farrell's run was better than Jimmy Creten's.
Tony left to much time on the clock which cost him
@@Thunder103093 My point is, they had the six judges as early as 2000. I think in 2002 is when they established the reinsertion of the high and low scores for the tiebreakers. But in some of the other early World Finals (2001 and 2004), they only had four judges. 2004 of course was when the three way tie happened between Madusa, MaxD, and El Toro Loco. Of those three, I think Madusa deserved it the most since she actually saved the truck after knocking Bounty Hunter off the stack.
Why dont they even bring out cars anymore? When people think monster trucks, they think destroying cars
I can kinda understand no more boxcars, but no cars?
Because of “safety hazards & budget cuts”
hello tim great video
I remember during the 2000 era there would be like 1 or two jumps and like 10 crush cars
Avenger was always fast paced and stupid fun to watch
“It’s the move of the night” I miss advance auto parts
There is no way that scott still enjoys commentating on this. I mean the sport used to be so much better. He's been with so many other commentators. He CANT enjoy the new monster jam, there's no way
Is he back?
I Feel Like Back In The Early 2000s One Crazy Move Got You A 🏆💯 Either Way It Worked Back When Monster Jam Wasn’t About The Backflips On Purpose Just To Help You Win But I’m Still A Big Monster Jam Fan Either Way.
Nice vid
thanks
11:28 For kids of now... This is real monster Jam
Spitting bars
Cam McQueen…the man that changed Monster Jam forever
didn't know el toro loco won a wf championship
We need an updated version
tell feld to stop blocking my videos & i will
Absolute quality
Some rare events they do like for the all Star show they had
cars and such but it may have changed but thank god it's one of the only sports that hasn't changed a ton like others
2012 was like the best of both worlds lol
This is the monster jam I remember 😢
Back when it was awesome
that year with lupe winning that freestyle at the end if that wasnt a camper then the backflip could have been an old trick
but also madusa didnt deserve to be in that tie
absolutely
you goanna do racing next?
i did already
World Finals Racing Champions
oh, sorry
Damon Bradshaw is such an underrated driver
Did Lupe won? Because in toms run there was Lupes truck without rear wheels!
bernardo jose tamayo zea he was in a three way tie with maximum destruction and madusa before they had a tiebreaker
whats so funny was that year they did 4 judges when every year before hand except 2001 did have 6 judges & seeing how the 1st 4 years the winner won by a 1 except 2001, i will never understand why they did that
who won the 3 way tiebreaker?
There was no Tiebreaker in 2004
From 2007 to 2008 the technology rly advanced the air got insane
Back when monster trucks didn’t have mufflers
+ very great video that's the only thing I noticed
2006 was insane how did it not roll when he literally only hit the biggest jumps sideways with no rear steer
Need an update to this
tell feld to stop copyrighting me & deal
Grave Digger is awesome & bad to the bone Monster Truck ever seen & Dennis Anderson is a great driver of Grave Digger & i would like to meet him & Adam Anderson Kirsten Anderson Ryan Anderson cause it would be awesome
2005 was bountyhunter
This is how I'd rank all the runs in this video from worst to best
16. Madusa
15. El Toro Loco
14. Grave Digger
13. Bounty Hunter
12. Team Meents
11. Maximum Destruction (2013)
10. Avenger (2003)
9. Captain's Curse
8. Avenger (2011)
7. Northern Nightmare
6. Monster Mutt
5. Air Force Afterburner
4. Maximum Destruction (2006)
3. Taz
2. Goldberg
1. Maximum Destruction (2004)
I actually plan on one day making my ranked runs & put it on DailyMotion
Good stuff. Can't wait to see that
I’d definitely put Monster Mutts’ higher than 6 that was one of the best ever imo
Am I the only one who honestly finds it really sad that Dennis Anderson only won the freestyle world championship once?
2006 should have been a tie between Dennis and Tom,
2016 should have been Dennis (no disrespect to Adam).
The competition he created 😢
i admit it. blue thunder deserved to win the world finals XIV freestyle
I tried my best remaking this vid by using the membership videos, it wasnt that good
29:54 Avenger 2011 Freestyle
I can’t believe Dennis won freestyle in 2000. I mean it was a good run but I don’t think worthy of a 40
Like in 2004!
Does anybody know the truck or year where right out the gate the first jump was massive and broke off one of the wheels but they finished their run?
You might be talking about bulldozer world finals 2
what filter you use for it not to be copyrighted?
@@mjmaxdfan2 nothing, it was challenged back in 2014 & i just won the claim, never got lucky with the other videos
Maximum amazing!)
Look at Grave Digger so inspirational 😂
Tom Meents winning racing
Twice in Goldberg 2000, 2001
Once in Team Meents 2002
Thrice in Maximum Destruction 2009, 2011, & 2012
Tom Meents winning freestyle
Once in Goldberg (2001)
Once in Team Meents (2002)
Twice in Maximum Destruction (2004, & 2006)
Once in Max - D (2013)
Tom Meents winning 2 wheel skill once in Max - D (fire) (2019)
You can add another freestyle and 2 wheels Championship to the list now
GD in 2000 was not a 40 run. It came from a time where incompetent fans judged.
It was not the judging, its just that back then that was a great run.
TheFerociousFox back then whoever went last and was the best got 40
I disagree, look at the course, that's not a track made for massive air say like 2010. Things were way different back then.
Return the world finals to vegas !!!
