Man first the front steering and now the rear steering. Can't catch a break. Your videos show the fans what it's really like behind the scenes being a monster truck driver. Life on the road is hard no doubt. It's not always fun and games. Hats off to you Mikey. Love these videos!!
Man i just did 7 shows in 5 days. That was a rough one. We lost a rear diff at the 4th show on wicked strong but came back to finish the weekend. Also got to help Rodney Tweedy replace a driveshaft on Bigfoot. Lots of great experience that weekend keep up the vids!
14:50 "I have no rear steer" that's not good. at least you got it working for freestyle thou. BTW pretty odd not seeing on-board footage for FS. any who great video Mikey!
Saw Matt in Evansville, went out to eat with him too, probably the coolest guy I’ve ever talked too! Such an awesome man! Promoter said something about bringing you and your dad here to the fair, you would love the track here in Evansville! Keep up with the vlogs man! Your kicking ass!
I appreciate everything you do I know your super busy driving and working the truck but you still take to show us what it’s like to do what you do thank you Mikey
“I plan the first two hits then I roll over.” I’m sorry but I chuckled. Remember one thing: Every day you get in that truck is a victory. Keep pushing! Big fan, keep rocking!
Late again with my comment but hey man, your raw emotions are part of what makes this so unique in the monster truck world. And to adults like me, makes it much more relatable. I feel the pain and frustration man, but your as tough as they come. I thank you, awesome video, your always outdoing yourself with the content. Easily the best channel on this platform.
Keep it going Mikey. I know u get frustrated we all do. Truth be told I love coming home from work and then theres a new V2 Vids. It gives me and alot of other people something to look forward 2.
Sucks to see you get so frustrated with the back to back weekends, however I can understand becoming burnt out. Fans have really only gotten to see the glamorous stuff until you created this channel. That being said, this is a job most people would kill to have and I think most people would trade their best day at work for your worst day. Try to keep perspective and remember that you have fans around the world who love and support you. The excitement we get from watching you run hard cant be found in any other motor sports. Keep it coming!!!
For your next chassis, should you decide to build one, you should ask your father for some tips, seems he knows how to build easy to work on chassis. Anything that can help with keeping crunch time to a minumum is always a thumbs up in my book :)
I find it funny how Monster Jam, the biggest name in the monster truck industry, is the only monster truck show that doesn’t crush cars or have actual judging. People say the crush cars are because BKT tires suck at crushing yet Tanner Root is seen crushing cars just fine in this video with BKT tires on his truck. Also you gotta love to see War Wizard still here and running
As always this was awesome to watch. This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam. To be able to see the day to day life is an amazing treat for a long time Monster Truck fan. Started as a little kid seeing Rollin Thunder and Awesome Kong in the mid 80s, watching your father race in the 90s to now. Keep chipping at that stone and don't let the low's frustrate you too much. You get to do something that many of us dream we could do or atleast try to.
Matt Cody should paint "World Champion" on the side of his truck because not only is he a champion as a driver now but also because the truck Taurus won a championship back in '91. He's already rockin' the throwback body from then so it's be cool!
Sweet! I just finished binge watching the series last night & now thi...whoa, I have MS, cool to see ya's sport those hats. Great vids & all. Thanks \m/
Aww I missed the Michigan show. I hope he comes back. Id like to see him run at the Eastern Michigan State Fair in Imaly City I attend it when they have the monster trucks there.
to bad Coty S. wasn't there to give you a monster. I can see how frustrating it can be but you always try the best. Stuff doesn't always go right but you always wish it could. Hope you get the truck dialed in.
So you damaged a couple panels? That red truck lost his hole body! LOL!!!! Nice vid mike. Thanks for sharing dude! I think we’d all understand if you took a week off of filming & editing? That’s gotta be taking some rest time away from ya bud? Your awesome dude! Keep on keeping on brother!
Epic video sorry your not having that good of luck this season good sir just keep moving forward and you will be on top again soon trust me and hi hot both of my 1/5 scale monster trucks running so when you ever get back out here to AZ bring your xmaxx and we can do a collaboration video and you can drive both of my monster trucks and we can race each other
Aloha Mike!! Awesome vid as usual. Hey I've been wondering....can you tell the difference between the different brands of monster truck tires? BKT tires look bigger for some reason.
I was curious with this as well. I know she has taken a few ringers over the years. When you said that your dads truck was easier to work on compared to yours, how does Matts truck compare? Best wishes Mikey! Keep your chin up high! You got this!!!
@@marcogomez3128 the sport doesn't have enough major sponsors to support that kind of series. It would drive a lot of teams out of business. Plus it's nice making your money no matter how you finished. I believe my father and jack have a deal worked. I dont know details.

Your vids are the best man! Poor body, I felt the itchiness with every piece that came off.

Mike keeping it real is why we all LUV YA...we all know life isn't always rainbows and unicorns. Rock on my friend...
17:51 Beautiful slap wheelie!
14:50
"I have no rear steer"
that's not good.
at least you got it working for freestyle thou.
BTW pretty odd not seeing on-board footage for FS.
any who great video Mikey!
Garrett Hanson lol
Mike: Eats pizza
Also Mike: “Its a nice day” 👍
When ever you eat pizza it's a good day
I really love looking behind the scenes of being a monster truck driver and you and general man your awsome keep up the good work!!!!!
Saw Matt in Evansville, went out to eat with him too, probably the coolest guy I’ve ever talked too! Such an awesome man! Promoter said something about bringing you and your dad here to the fair, you would love the track here in Evansville! Keep up with the vlogs man! Your kicking ass!
It's simple I see a new vlog I instantly click like button!

Just as I was about to sleep. Now I have to stay up.
It's awesome having you guys here in Newfoundland hope you all come back again next year.

Keep it going Mikey. I know u get frustrated we all do. Truth be told I love coming home from work and then theres a new V2 Vids. It gives me and alot of other people something to look forward 2.
I'm definitely glad you started including the freestyle competition with other trucks. I love me some action
Awsome vid Mikey so your comming to Michigan that is cool. Thank you for giving us all the cool vids.

Another great video! Looks like it’s been better this week from what I’ve seen! Keep up the great work!
Hey man I was there when you done that moon walk I love your truck my favourite monster truck🙂
Great video Mikey looking forward to watching you're triple back to back shows hope you better luck and keep it right side up.
I will only have two videos of the triple header
For your next chassis, should you decide to build one, you should ask your father for some tips, seems he knows how to build easy to work on chassis. Anything that can help with keeping crunch time to a minumum is always a thumbs up in my book :)
Man you put out great content regularly and we can or at least I can tell when you aren't feeling it keep your chin up and keep on
Keep your chin up Mikey you will get back your mojo and start winning.
really like the look of the lowered body bounty hunter
Props to RJ as Dennis Anderson always said it only takes one person to do an awesome run to make a good show.
Hard weekend. Glad you stick with it. You are a champion, Mike, and no matter what happens, you will always be a champion.
Another sic video man 🤘🏼 stoked for the next
Hey Mike hope your okay and like watching your videos and you and your team work really head
There's a new Taurus? That's awsome. I liked that truck when it ran TNT.
You’re human just like all of us we all get frustrated you’re a great driver though keep your head up!
Keep on rocking It out

I never knew all that went behind the scenes for a monster truck show. Thanks for the insight. Keep up the great content!
Cool vlog channel on TH-cam
That was a rough one bro 👊 still a good job keep up the good hard work👍✌
Love watching the behind the scene stuff. Would like to get a look at the Semi that you use to haul your truck around.
As always this was awesome to watch. This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam. To be able to see the day to day life is an amazing treat for a long time Monster Truck fan.

Uuuh the first Time i have to wait to get Home from work and watch your awesome Video!
Stay Save Mike! 😉👍🏻
Good showing
Awesome video!
You are great driver

EPIC!!! another amazing video from you keep it up!

I saw the video pop up on notifications and said "screw the time" and watched it. Keep up the great videos and Overkill.
Hey Mikey! Just saw you sling some mud on Monday in Monroe! Great Job your Freestyle was crazy!
Aww I missed the Michigan show. I hope he comes back. Id like to see him run at the Eastern Michigan State Fair in Imaly City I attend it when they have the monster trucks there.
Nice Video, please come to Frankfurt next year at the Monster jam Tour 💪🏼

My boi how don’t you have 1,000,000 yet XD
wish i was able to make it to the show, im from newfoundland!!!! :)
being honest I didn’t think tanner had that in him for racing! jeez also great vid!
Epic video sorry your not having that good of luck this season good sir just keep moving forward and you will be on top again soon trust me and hi hot both of my 1/5 scale monster trucks running so when you ever get back out here to AZ bring your xmaxx and we can do a collaboration video and you can drive both of my monster trucks and we can race each other
Bruh that chassis though
Yo I love the vids man and I would love to meet you in person good luck
Cool vlog on channel TH-cam
@v2vids has the best content!!!! Is higher education coming to westmoreland county fair in August? Keep up the great work bud!!!!!!
Who drives the Taurus truck now remember it from the 90's when jack wilman drove it
Great video... if you don’t mind me asking, How scary was your wreck at World Finals 17. Looked like it hurt a lot.
It sucked
Aloha Mike!! Awesome vid as usual.
Hey I've been wondering....can you tell the difference between the different brands of monster truck tires? BKT tires look bigger for some reason.
They are wider
V2 Vids it’s probably just me but I think bkt tires look better, even with the logo
@@Panda5ace bkt dont perform as well.
V2 Vids Good to know
How often does it happen when you rollover and have to replace roll bars?? It seems like you have taken a couple good hits in your vids.
Mike vater's II this is the last time I'm going to ask this what is the field of trucks for when you came here in Tulsa Oklahoma in 2014
No clue bud. To long ago.
@@V2Vids now I'll never find out
Aw frick here we go again...!
Are there any upcoming shows left for the summer.
aww that poor hood got owned in two wheel skills
Hey Mikey, I was wondering if you'll do a QnA
Maybe later this year when my shows slow down.
you think about a new chassis for OverKill?
I was curious with this as well. I know she has taken a few ringers over the years. When you said that your dads truck was easier to work on compared to yours, how does Matts truck compare? Best wishes Mikey! Keep your chin up high! You got this!!!
Will you be at astabula County fair grounds ???
Is Higher Education going to return to monster jam competitions?
Quick question, how sensitive is your hearing?
Depending on the day.
I know you be in pa at the buck
I’ve seen you live in New Orleans
Man you’ve gotta take some time off to work on that truck, you seem so stressed
Michigan show??? When and Where in Michigan???
Oh what time is the show tomorow
Is Taurus still owned by Jack Wilman ? I saw your Bloomsburg video, i feel it was more intense in the penda days.
Penda was more intense because they were racing for points and money. We are putting on a show. Those days are in the past.
@@V2Vids those days need to come back. So is Taurus still owned by Jack? I think out of everyone in the group your dad has been in it the longest
@@marcogomez3128 the sport doesn't have enough major sponsors to support that kind of series. It would drive a lot of teams out of business. Plus it's nice making your money no matter how you finished. I believe my father and jack have a deal worked. I dont know details.
@@V2Vids i see your point. but I think they should go back to real racing. Many people have talked about it,even Bob Chandler
Take the mane off of Black Stallion it looks hideous!
Where did your moms boogey van go??
No clue bud
V2 Vids awww man that was one of my favorite trucks back in the day
