Driver: does a never before done, incredibly difficult manuveur in their sport that revolutionizes everything
Judges: ....9.3
hahaha yea that score was way off. the rest of the show was bland but that first time ever move and landing it perfect gets a 10.
Well some of the landings were rough, I think without the flips he wouldn’t do that good at all
The judges are the crowd, You vote on your phone out of 10 and it gets calculated automatically and broadcasted on the jumbotron
Do you know what a 10 means?
It means nothing could've been better, nothing could've been improved on.
It is the pinnacle, the highest point. IMO 10s are given out like candy if you look at other competitions and sports w.e, a 10 should ONLY be given if EVERYTHING was PERFECT and NOTHING can be improved upon!
But yeah, I gotchu, it was INSANE.. but the rest of the run was pretty meh.
He only did anything for 18 seconds. The rest of the time he slowly drove up and down hills.
This just randomly showed up on my recommended page out of nowhere, I’m into monster trucks now
Welcome to the community, if you haven’t been to a show yet, the engines are pretty loud
Lol , me too dude , count me in ..
Same
Hahahahaha
Same
I love the failed backflip at the end. He's like...ehh...I've won, I can just lie down now.
He knew he was running out of time
In an interview Lee said he found himself facing the container at the end and attempted a corkscrew but couldn’t get traction due to the mud from the fountain.
It's like when you already beat the game so you maybe try a side quest but lose interest
I saw it like smashing the guitar after shredding a set
He like: K time for a nap
I’m not even really into monster trucks and this is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen

you are into barbies
@@wickedhouston5538 drag racing bud
Yeah he did a front flip but no one is talking about the landing, too clean.
Agreed
Judges: "This is getting boring"
*suddenly does a first ever front flip*
Judges: "Ok, here is our 9.35"
If the last backflip was landed, I think it would of been a perfect 10 run with that frontflip!
@@brianclark17 the back flip was out of the timer, therefore could not change the score
XDDDDD
I was like "o okay a back flip, OH OKAY A FRONT FLIP".
But most of the video i was like meh.
Aqua
The whole time I was watching this I was trying to work out how it's physically possible to front flip a monster truck. Now I know.
With science.
Mad science.
Arnez Willis
BREAKING NEWS A man named Arnez Willis has died after attempting a front flip in a mini van. He died this morning at 6:30 am.
Arnez Willis 😂
😂😂😂😂he did dat
@cj p same! Like how they developed for the backflip. I thought he might like go off a high like hill, then hit the brakes really hard and maybe like roll over
Everyone gave a 10.
Except 1 person...

@@midoeldeeb3223 In what regard? lol.
@@philonetic321 Idk looks like you are American or someone who knows about American culture before the colony .. no accusation just asking .
I kept wondering how tf he was gonna do a front flip lol
Me too. I blinked and missed it lmao
i played "hill climb racing" before.
That's my reference
@@zams4517 ahaha
I thought he was going to back up into the wall
Cakrawala he literally done it the exact same way as hill climb racing
Anyone else wonder how the heck the driver was going to attempt a front flip?
I B WHOIB the ENTIRE time. I thought he was going to do a jump in reverse. Would have never thought of a wheelie.
Pretty much lol. I'm looking at the course as he is driving around and thinking to myself , nope not there, or no way it could happen off that . Than he did the backflip with not much time left I'm like uh oh lol something crazy is about to happen!
I thought I was click baited lol
Yup.. whole time I was thinking he is going to need some speed and a way to stop tire rotation quickly maybe.. hell i dunno and then that happened... amazing..
I was just wondering why I sat through a 3 minute video for a 15 second point.
So inspirational... Someone should definitely write a song about it
ikr like alex turner/arctic monkeys totally didnt make a song with this title
right? I wonder what type of music would it be like... Definitely not from a English rock band...
ah dang *turns on tranquility base hotel & casino*
I think that some band from Sheffield should make song about this historical moment
you push the button and we'll do the rest
I’m an American, and this brought tears to my eyes. So proud.
Same here...Thank you Bob Chandler (Bigfoot) and Everett Jasmer (USA-1)!
No Wonder why you country is sinking

@@cheradordecalcinhaoficial nah, that's due to people voting for an 80 year old with dementia/Alzheimer's to "run" the country

So you think lee o dpnnel doing a frontflip before getting retired?
Pfffffffff hahahahahahhahahahbahaha
Yes, big truck go vroom vroom crunch

I was expecting him to back up into the wall ramps, not...THAT. That was amazing
me too 😂😂

...AND SAME 4 ME 2!

I was there that night and got to witness this with my own eyes! Watching it here again I am still in awe and just how awesome the front flip was! To hear the roar of the crowd brings back the memories of me and my son (then 8 yrs old) just screaming our heads off and going crazy with the crowd was truly one of the greatest moments we'll never forget. Wish they would being the Final back to Las Vegas again.
You got to see something truly special that night. For him to pull off this flip during a competition run is truly once in a lifetime. And the distance he traveled is incredible, with pretty much a perfect landing as well. It’s like something you would see out of a video game or movie.
@@ProofScopes the power slide to finish the landing was just so butter
Fun fact : Arctic Monkeys' song "The World's first ever monster truck frontflip" is nearly perfectly synced with this video
i needa do this when i have the time this is a genius discovery you have made
I listened them in sync and it was beautiful
As a european, this is what i imagine americans go to work like.
As an American I can say that we do drive to work like this

@@irishcoffee-pr7gf and go to France through Belgium. (sorry if that for some reason afends you)
Me as Italian , drive to your house and rob you
As an American, I can confirm. Most people only do a backflip tho
not only that, but a perfect landing.
That landing was definitely on point
Even the flag didn't hit the dirt.
@@number1musichater430 lol just noticed
Gta reference when you land a stunt perfectly
Near perfect.
I love how it's the type of trick that would typically be a high skill move in a video game yet he manages to pull it off in real life. A true Action Hero moment.
Hello how are
"he did a front flip Ryan"
That has to be the most genuine reaction ever
That's what I miss most about the old Monster Jam announcers. Their reactions were always the same as mine. Nowadays they try to be like announcers at a basketball or football game, makes it a little less magical
He turned into a 11yr old
@@felipeandrusco6478 we're all 11 year olds here you git lol
I don't care how old I am, monster trucks will always be great.
I remember watching Monster Jam when I was still in elementary I'm in high school now this is the first video I've seen in awhile with Monster Jam
@@silasmcgee3647 last time I watched monster jam fully was in 4th grade. i'm a junior now and I'm starting to just watch random highlight videos like this one.
How old are you?
Silas McGee: true dude I use to love them still do stilll do
There's no age limit to having fun bro.
A 9.35? Should've just said "Winner"
Well he did win the whole Competition in the end
The scores are averaged from fans on their phones now, a perfect score is basically impossible. Even a 9.5+ is pretty difficult unless you're the last run, between partisans and people leaving themselves room in case a better run happens
Ok my bad
You're winner
William Dohme did he win a chicken dinner though?
When the announcers say " he's the new leader" why do they sound so surprised? Dude just did a front flip with a f*ckin monster truck!!
Backflip lol
@@maxl3189 It was a front flip.
Rest of this run was kinda average. But this Flip from wheelie is what saved it.
He didn’t fill the bonus time clock which usually means you don’t have a shot at the lead. But he had an almost perfect score so it didn’t matter.
They’re still in shock about the front flip probably
the fact he landed front wheels back in transition is so crazy
9.355? Those judges 100% lick their finger before turning the page on a kindle
The last seconds were only the good parts the rest he was just going up and the down the hill actually watch the video
@no u Nah I give a 5.15
@@datryhardasian I think they mean because it's .355. like why so precise
Uh bro the fans vote on their phones, its an average score, not solely based on judges scores
The fans vote I think
Driver: okay here's the impossible
Judges: yawn 9.35
Freestyle isn't about one move his run was actually over scored not underscored he deserved like an 8.6. Also, the whole crowd judges not just a few people
@@Rangerman69420 okay thanks for the technical breakdown of the scoring. BUT that one trick that impossible trick as well as a good run is a 10
@@hadtoomany Witch that run had absolutely none of the trick was not impossible as people have been close to doing it for years and his run was very bland.

I've seen that at least a 100 times and I still get Goosebumps and excited when I watch it
Hello
Seems like one of the Arctic Monkeys songs became reality
idk if this is satire or not
Actually it happened before the song
he made the song based off of this-
If he does a "first ever" how is it not a perfect run.. he just made history
@@Primekoen pretty safe run and nothing to exciting. But the backflip then the front flip warranted a better score. Then of course the crowd alwaysloves when the truck gets flipped upside down.
@@MannyOK88 why did you reply to this i forgot this reply even existed
true, a first-ever should be alot of points, but yeah other then that not that exciting
its not perfect because he crashed it

Perfect. Thanks for including that slick backflip.
THIA will NEVER get old, this is BEYOND EPIC!! ..anyone else come back and watch this again from time to time?
i don’t even like monster trucks but.. this was cool
How can you not like monster trucks?
Everyone likes em
You need to see it in real life, its like 100 times better
@@ExperimentalFun I totally agree with you
Not even as a guilty pleasure? Come on man
If you go to a Monster Jam event and hear the sound of those monstrous engines coming out of the tunnel uncorked you'll realize what it's all about. Seeing a front flip is once in a lifetime.
I took my kids to Raymond James stadium in Tampa to watch and I loved the entire experience. From the National Anthem to the freestyle
@@0NicoLoco0 nice! For us it's Angels stadium in Anaheim California. First base side has the backflip jump like 50ft from where we always sit so we get a great show everytime.
@@xDPx-zh7vr I will take my family back there again, hopefully. Once this Corona misery ends. It's quite a trip from Norway.
monsterjambomb
used to go every year as a kid whenever the event came to toronto, my god is it an energetic vibe
absolutely adored it
Dude pulls out 2 massive flips in the last 17 seconds. Pretty dang awesome.
I was not disappointed in the least. I actually broke out in tears.
The new graphics patch for rocket league looks good.
Haha nice one 🤣
hehe i dig this one

Wow!

What a save!

Mr Random Reviews AWESOME TO SEE YOU HERE! I mean WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE!! THAT WAS AFRIKKINMAZIN'!!
Mr Random Reviews correction: FLIPPIN'AMAZING!
Noice to see you here m8!
Pitty life so
Gave the 1000th like
That just made every kids childhood, how can you top this?
I watch this every year several times. Never gets boring.
When you saw the back flip and you thinking, "wow clickbait. Learn your directions", and then he hits the front flip 2 seconds later😯
@David ok cool doesnt matter
Yea when I he hit the backflip I read the title again to,make sure I wasn't tripping
Not to be mean but it was 14 seconds
Lol i was just saying he hit it very soon after
Lol, guys I was being sarcastic. I was just saying it was a very short time after. I can count and read I promise.
Grave Digger probably still won just by being there
For real 😂😂
lets not deny tho fr
@Jerry Rose dude I'm a Grave digger fan too, but like mc David, matthews, Crosby.. by just being there the judges are gonna lean a little towards them due to crowd favorites yenno?
Exactly.I have no respect for the Andersons for this exact reason. At least Tom Meents earns his freestyle wins for the most part.
That's what happened this past weekend stalled out a couple of times and he still won it
Even more insane is how he caught the landing ramp with his tires perfectly
The timing was SO PERFECT its like 3-2-1-CONTACT-0
Mom: drive safe
Me 5 minutes later: 2:00
Young Joeski keep dreaming. More like 2:09.

Dang ole realest comment ever mane oooweee back end of that truck flippin over its front just straight up crazy I tell you
YES
Yes you did
Happened to me

100%
this was so riveting that alex turner watched this video and decided to name a song after it
Simply astonishing. Not to mention that he landed it PERFECTLY!
1:10 Turn on captions. You're welcome.
Mmm yes
You're my hero.
lol
Wtf youtube...
DeusXDebauchery appreciate it buddy!
... That was actually more impressive than I expected.
Watching this after the 2024 finals. This is so much better in every single way. It needs to be on actual TV again with a high production budget and with an actual commentating booth. This just makes you want to watch more even if the product isn’t gonna be front flips every time
Yep. I was at Sofi yesterday. Very underwhelming to say the least.
The landing on the front flip looked so calculated too the way the front wheels met the transition so smoothly
Me at first: monster trucks are dumb
Me 90 seconds in: I wonder when the next monster truck rally is in town
Actually, TC2 got me thinking that Monster Trucks might not be all that bad. I started wondering how MT freestyle compares irl to the game in terms of point structure (i.e. how much is based on hitting certain parts of the arena, how much on tricks, etc). Starting to get more interesting for me, I used to think it was all just "what truck can crush cars the flattest."
Structure is pretty different but in the end you need to do some of the same things anyway so on the surface you do get a similar appearance in some respect.
On TV is never as fun, I went to one back in like '05 and I was skeptical at first but it turned out to be a really fun experience.
Actually being there you would have a grin from ear to ear. Specially with a couple beers in ya. Its just simple Fun. And if you have a young son. Go!
Same here

That was supremely satisfying. Totally worth it. Good job TH-cam algorithm

Can you even imagine how that felt inside the truck!! Excitement, followed by sheer terror, then jubilation! Freakin' Awesome!!!

Anyone else feel like monster trucks were just the things you played with as a kid and weren't real things until youtube decides to give you some monster trucking competition video?
Eh, no. As a kid I wanted toy monster trucks because I saw Grave Digger and Big Foot on TV!
I am not a huge fan of monster trucks per se, but that was probably the coolest TH-cam video I've seen in months.

Ask Google AI why

Me too, same here, however i am glad it was recommend, that was so cool, i will probably start checking this out a little
I've seen monster trucks once in my life. They sound amazing.
I will whole heartedly agree with that statement
Make these trucks radio controlled... try to make it flip 10 times
These trucks they just break for no reason. Anyway so I made it radio controlled.
Come on Levi let's try it out
I didn't expect you here. Love your stuff
@@ToxicMrSmith who is levi
It's not possible to do 10 flip but
It is possible for it to be radio controlled
Do they have radios installed with a chainsaw I think we should check that first
I did this with toys in the 90's, I can say with the whole heart I waited to see this moment.
What’s crazy is I’ve seen this video around when it came out but here’s the algorithm bringing it back

This whole time I was thinking that he was gonna go in reverse to the backflip ramp, and the he does THIS!!!!!!😳🤯
Best run in Monster Truck history for sure.
I'll be honest when he flipped over at the end I thought he was gonna flip back over but i forgot this wasn't GTA 😂

Idk why this appears on my recommendations, but i have 0 regrets clicking it
I was watching like... "that's a backflip" and then... BOOM!
No way that was an accident. The timing was just perfect and he nailed it .
Yeah
Kenneth Hildebrand agree
He said it was an accident. That is a move grave digger used to do alot where you wheelie into a jump and get a sky wheelie. He claimed he was “going for a wheelie jump and suddenly found himself front flipping”
Kenneth Hildebrand yeh just nuts
Definitely rehearsed! It had to be perfectly calculated to land the front wheels on the side of that mound. Without it the truck would slam head on into the floor. Or it could’ve just been luck !
I have NEVER seen a monster truck do that before. A backflip yes, a FRONT flip?...... NO!
Big Money's Life he does a front flip after the back flip watch the whole vid idiot
Das Good Dude, learn reading.
I have... It's not world's first.
Big Money's Life you see a backflip in almost every show
+nilsvids then what is? This is the same monster jam from last year. I don't know why they upload this video but if you're referring to the 2017 one, this is it.
He did it as close to perfect as there will ever be really…
I love the crowd shots, half are speechless and the other half are going crazy
Not only did he do a front flip he did a stoppie down the ramp....in a 5 ton truck 😂
alex Lamontagne : that wasn’t a stoppie he would have to hit the breaks for that
