A Monsterific Show

Ben and I went to Monster Jam. We got our tickets through the D.A.R.E. program which allowed us entry to the Party in the Pits a half hour before the general public. He was too shy to talk to any of the drivers, but we took some cool pictures before it got too crowded.

Here's my favorite, Avenger.


Those are some wide tires on War Wizard.


In addition to monster trucks, there were ATVs and mtocross bikes. In between rounds, the ATVs raced and the motocross team did tricks.


A half hour before the show started, Ben said the show was "Monsterific."


After the races, they started the freestyle competition. Those trucks can catch some crazy air! Ben got to see it from close up.


Ben finally picked a favorite about half way through the evening: Brutus, "because it has teeth."


I liked Brutus, too, but not because of the teeth. He did the best slap wheelies.


We both had tons of fun and stayed up way past bed time. I think this may become a yearly tradition.
