Don’t forget jimmy creten, Linsey weenk, Tony farrel(rip), Lupe Soza, John Seasock, Candice Jolly, George Balhan, Madusa, Scott Hartsock, David Smith, and Damon Bradshaw👍👍
@bubba1307 To an extent, I remember all of them. I REALLY remember Lindsey Weenk, Candice Jolly and Jimmy Creten. I think monster jam started getting really really spectacular when Dennis Anderson's sons started competing as well. I just love monster jam, man 🤷♂️ what can I say haha
I miss Dennis, and I really miss the Speed era of Monster Jam. It really was the golden age. I still watch, I still love it. But man seeing those old freestyles really shows how far down hill Monster Jam has gone..
MJ is way better now then it has been for years. The innovation of 2wheel Skills, the new talents, the identites; all make the competition more interesting since you'll never know who is wining that weekend
Speed era truly was special. I remember being a kid and watching episodes of Monster Jam before I went to school. Those were the days. Part of me wishes I could go back, but the other part appreciates it and is grateful I got to experience it because the newer generations and fans can’t say they did.
My dad and I met Dennis Anderson at the pit party of Monster Jam World Finals 18 back in 2017. It was great to see him in person and get autographs from him because I've been a Grave Digger fan for many years. Great classic and modern highlights, and so many great memories! Dennis Anderson is a true legend in the monster truck industry!
It was a privilege to see him doing freestyle at the 2nd show in San Diego at Jan 31st 2015, the first ever time i went to see a official Monster Jam show.
Grave digger 7 with the down pipes are so iconic and the truck pyramid at the world finals, the way he burps the throttle like that is what really made me a Dennis Anderson fan
My one real regret as a Monster Jam fan is that I never got to see Dennis Anderson perform live. God I miss seeing him burn it down on the Speed Channel. There simply never has been and never will be another quite like him.
I remember seeing Dennis perform on the SPEED channel. He was so awesome!!!! Still is today with his new truck, King Sling. Got to meet him earlier this year in Dothan, Alabama
Dennis Anderson is going crazy his brakes were getting really hot and molted metal and the big Jump That Dennis Anderson Just Did And awesome Save and he is still going I think he is going to get that Freestyle trophy and defeeded Tom meets 13:26
26:20 I was there for that Houston, Tx show in 2013 as a kid and man did they put on a show. Didn’t think Dennis would be able to top Linsey Weenks freestyle run in Lucas Oil Crusader, but that’s why you never bet against the legend!
Yes, it's Dennis Anderson, the icon, the founder, and the creator of the iconic monster jam truck known as the grave digger, and dennis anderson is the 7-time monster jam world finals championship. He won 5 monster jam world finals racingchampionships, in 2004 when he defeated his teammate Pablo Huffaker in Blacksmith and 2005 when he defeated the former 2 time world finals champion madusa and 2006 when he defeated the 2005 world finals freestyle champion Jimmy Creten in bounty hunter and 2007 when he defeated John Seasock in batman in the 25th anniversary grave digger and 2010 when he defeated his arch rival and 8 time world finals champion Tom Meents in maximum destruction and he also won 2 world finals freestyle championships 2000 with a score of 40 and 2007 in the 25th anniversary grave digger with a score of 35. Happy 20th 25th 30th 35th and 40th anniversary to grave digger.
If you go to the outer banks be sure to stop st diggers dungeon along the way. Very cool. He was there. Got to meet him and his dog. Was an awesome day.
Back when the drivers had more the 2 feet from jump to jump and could move instead of this lil tiny arena shows with a center ramp that’s it this is real monster jam I’m so glad I’ve been able to experience this my dad took me every year sense I was four I’m now 28
It’s really funny to look back and see the old days and how boring it is lol was it boring when we were kids watching it of course not it was the coolest thing ever but compared to 2016 2017 it doesn’t compare
Alright listen gonna be honest 88% of his freestyle runs are mid air generic momentum if he wasn’t “grave digger” he would just be a guy that “started the sport” it’s true it’s right there all over this video
Dennis Anderson, Tom Meents, and Jim Khoeler were the PRIME of monster jam. I'll never forget the days of watching those legends compete.
We still got Jim rockin’ it! 🤘🔥

@@indigo_sirgamingway too many to remember
Boy do we miss you Dennis! You and Tom going back and forth will be something I won't ever forget.. you were the heart and soul of Monster Jam!
You are so coolllll🎇

In all honesty monster jam can learn some stuff from the past to make the series better.

@@Ghostmanetx def can see the bragging rights of seeing classic monster jam
What exactly happened to Monster Jam?
The man that changed the sport in a way no one would’ve thought

2000-2015 era was the best! Went to every show downtown Indianapolis with my dad growing up grave digger and Dennis Anderson was my childhood hero
Dennis Anderson is the Monster Jam driver who got me into Monster Jam and monster truckin' in general. He is a legitimate legend.
This man should go down as one of the GOATS in motorsports history.
Monster jam wouldn't be a thing without you sir thank you 💚🖤
The father of freestyle, even though I am a max d fan, I will never deny the legend that is Dennis Anderson and I always love seeing his runs

Dennis Anderson Forever!!!
I would say career highlights since 2000.
The crush car era will always be the best 😎👌
I was there at the Houston 2013 show. I loved it. This section of the vid brought back memories
Me too! I was 11 at the time and it was probably the most memorable show I went to
Dennis Anderson will always be one of my all-time heroes for Monster Jam and the huge sport of huge sport of high performance racing.
The Greatest of All Time!
I absolutely miss seeing him drive he was the best driver
GOAT Hands Down!
We Will always remeber you Dennis you a legend 🖤💚
I remember seeing Dennis perform on the SPEED channel. He was so awesome!!!! Still is today with his new truck, King Sling. Got to meet him earlier this year in Dothan, Alabama
FELIS NATAL
Grave digger and bigfoot was and will always be my favorite trucks.
The nostalgia is making me tear up :' ]
The man, the myth, the legend. ❤
Monster jam used to be better. I’m probably just older though. But man there was something about the old tracks that were just better. 2009-2014 peak
I've been a fan of Dennis Anderson since 2003
I grew up on this guy I wish I could go back to when I was watching him
Need to start about 15 years earlier
Monster Jam Showdown Grave Digger Legacy 🔥
The evolution in monster jam is crazy like 2000-2014 there was not made backflip ramps now we have people who are trying to make a triple backflip
Before monster trucks were ruined by corporatization just like nascar, thank you Dennis for giving us those most awesome years! 👍👍
Long live Dennis
Long live 2010-2014 Monster Jam
31:27 💀💀💀💀
If you pause it at 2:39 that was a huge freestyle jump back in the today now its a ramp that size is for racing now.
Grave Digger is Etern 🖤💚💜🤘🏻🏴☠
Dennis Anderson is going crazy his brakes were getting really hot and molted metal and the big Jump That Dennis Anderson Just Did And awesome Save and he is still going I think he is going to get that Freestyle trophy and defeeded Tom meets 13:26
Can you guys redo Tom’s and include his TNN and Speed days? Love them both.
The icon

Dennis really could’ve 4-peated the racing title in 04,05,06 & 07 when you think about it.
Is this 2009 Glendale az or 2010 15:09

If you go to the outer banks be sure to stop st diggers dungeon along the way. Very cool. He was there. Got to meet him and his dog. Was an awesome day.
Kibby Dog: Oh My Goodness GO Grave Digger GO You Have Belive You Are The Best Time GO The Grave Digger You Are THE BEST
Im sure we all could do this all night long, if we all pitched in we could afford it!!! 😅😂
They should have included his 2016 freestyle in Glendale where he did the backflip.
nothing pre-2000?
