    That back flip takes guts on a truck like that. I haven't been to a monster truck event in a long time. I would like to take my kids but they would hate the noise. If I try to take them I will have to bring ear protection for them. I will have to watch to see if any events are coming around here next year.

    God, that would be so much fun! Not the flip of course, that would make me ruin the seat! But, just driving around smashing everything in your way, making all that noise. I'd love to do that!

    That is somewhat scary but cool. I don't know much about monster trucks but it would be a once in a lifetime to be behind one of those. I would start small by crushing cars and gradually go off the ramp.

    As I live in Dubai, I would just LOVE to own one of those and drive to work and back in it. Never have to worry about the traffic jams anymore, just obliterate everything in my path :roflmao:

    I went to an indoor truck show and trust me it's better outdoors. As you can see they keep you away from the edge of the floor and the trucks can only hit the gas for a whopping two seconds at a time. The noise is killer when they do too, no exhaust systems means a lot of noise and it echos.

    They are still fun to watch, I'm just saying that I prefer being outdoors, heck the exhaust gases might start burning your nose after a while in there :)

    I never knew they had no exhaust systems, it actually explains the noise! I once was replacing my exhaust system for an aftermarket exhaust and while the exhaust system was removed we had a go at the accelerator and I had never heard my car sound like such a beast before!

    :D I love the noise! Here in Thailand the laws are a bit more relaxed and a good percent of motorbikes and some cars are running uncorked!
