They survive because of shock absorbers, they can be seen above the tires in the chassis. Just look at the size of them! And also I’ve been watching someone named Kevin Talbot who’s building his own truck and he pointed out that every seat must be perfectly fit to each driver by their preference

Well the originals actually had some genuine "pick up truck " parts in them . Now they are all custom built cage frames with high horsepower engines and fiberglass shells . Not really monster trucks just monster racers.

I know these trucks are amazing in their abilities of speed, agility, power and so forth but what has always impressed me is how well they protect the driver. They allow you to be actually LAUNCHED incredibly high and come down on your front end and be ok. You’d think it would crush your spine to land the way they land even when landing on all 4s.

I'm pretty sure that the organizers fully expected somebody to do that. Just like at the 54 second mark. Different venue, but the ramp was just set perfectly for big air. Mahone almost won the freestyle with that one jump. She led the rating for a good long while. Jim Kohler also tried that same ramp, also got spectacular air, and also instantly broke his truck.

I'll never forget seeing 0:40 on TV saying to myself holy shit that guys goin to the moon lmao

1:07 HOLY SHIT lol. Yea that was bout same reaction I had when I first saw it years ago.

the most fascinating thing to me about these trucks is the suspense. The suspension in these trucks have so much travel and compression. Granted the tires help cushion the landing but it's amazing how high the jump when landing and there ability to keep going is amazing
