If the Gun Slinger Orlando screwjob is on here, I can say 100% that the replay showed on Speed in 2004 was NOT the angle they showed/cut live.The angle used that night was right on the finish line. Gun Slinger had a small lead going up the ramp, when both trucks were in the air his lead was.increasing. There is no way physically possible Grave Digger could have passed him in the air when he was losing ground to Hartsock. I was sitting in a section closer to the start, and Hartsock's wife was in the section next to us, passing out 3*5 hero cards. For the final round she walked down to the finish line to get a better view. After the race she came back in tears and there was a pretty good chorus of boos from the crowd. It was obvious what happened. I still hate myself for not taking a picture of the replay screen (which ironically was the first year the Citrus Bowl had it, go figure).

The rule of using only collector type exhaust in Monster Jam trucks could be another good controversial topic.

To me Monster Jam died when they got rid of the crush cars. A lot of the thrill was through the crush cars being run over and the replacement of cars with extremely high flying BKT tire stunts ironically seems much more dangerous with how close some of the landings on those tires reaching close to the grandstands. To me that mentality of extreme air stunts are what is going to lead to Monster Jam having a major disaster involving spectators comparable to other types of motorsports like the Le Mans disaster for 24 hour racing or the Ramstein disaster for air shows, far more worrisome than a bunch of crush cars that aren't stacked up or using winnebago's that have a 1 in a million chance of hitting spectators or track crew.

Either way the crush cars provided a challenge that I don't think dirt or trick only freestyles can truly match as it's as much of an endurance test for the driver as it is for the machines itself.

I think people give World Finals 2014 a bad name. Though the track was mostly dirt, there was still a lot of cars. They cared about the paint design. They also still let trucks run while broken, and I don't mean just broken, I mean destroyed. Madusa was demolished and she kept going until she got hung on cars.

The problem was that the dirt mounds were too clustered. And after a handful of freestyles the paint lines were destroyed and the drivers could not tell where the dirt piles were as everything looked the same from the cockpit. You can see in the later runs guys are just jamming the throttle right into the sides of the dirt mounds because they have no idea where they are. Something like the 2017 WF freestyle track was more spread out and was not terrible for FELD's anti-crush car policy.

2004 World Finals freestyle should’ve been on this list. Tom and Jimmy had the best runs that night but Medusa and Lope just had one spectacular moment and somehow won

World finals 2 is actually my favorite world finals to date, but the controversies made perfect sense at the time. In retrospect I'd argue a lot of the past controversies make the event more engaging than it would be otherwise.

I got the amazing chance to judge a triple threat event a few years ago, two days later we were invited to do it again, when I met morgan Kane he thanked us for coming back, according to him the past judges did such a bad job that even the officials were confused.

on the topic of the fans being allowed to judge I honestly say they need to go back to what they did back in 2007 where they had their own handpicked judges because the "fans" have been notorious for giving someone a load of points just for going not even 20 seconds and doing a "questionably" insane wreck and this was big back in 2000-2003 with Tom and Dennis specifically because if any one of them came out and did that in freestyle they won immediately that said my 2 most hated things are fan judging because they always rig it no matter what and the removal of crush cars because crush cars are what made monster trucks famous and yes I'll happily admit that Bigfoot started it all with that and removing them from monster trucks removes the identity of it all and honestly just ruins the fun factor because it was much more fun watching someone hit a bus stack than jumping from one tabletop to another

Monster jam post 2010 sucks, one of my favorite trucks was Gun slinger and I couldn't even find the truck because they changed its name to just Slinger, half the trucks I remember are retired, crush cars are non existent, and free style has had its balls cut off, I remember when trucks would break off wheels and keep going, they would count it as a points multiplier, now if the wheels break off they hit the kill switch

4:06 I don't remember which World Finals it was, but I remember a similar thing happening between Neil Elliott in a Max-D truck & John Seasock in Batman. John won after Neil was shut off. They redid the race, Neil won & advanced, Neil was booed, & John was mad!

I've often said with fan judging that it was best in like 2016/17 where you had professional judges, then they tossed the high & low, then added a fan score. Use judges zone, but have some automatic deductions that get appled to every score. Like in minimum 30 second run for any score in Freestyle, then 1 point off for every 10 seconds left on it. For skills, 5 points deducted for only doing 1 SUCCESSFUL trick or 0 for none in a stadium (6 for only doing 1 trick, 3 for doing 2 in arenas). If they did that, then I think it would be fair as the "Digger points" (or anyother truck/driver favoritism) from the fans could be averaged out.

Fantastic video! I learned a lot. I do wish they would bring back crush cars though.

Blue thunder rolled 3 times end over end and ripped the axle off and got it running g and drove away. Grave digger who won messed up within the first 10 seconds of his run and clipped a car with the back tire and rolled over and stayed dead. It felt absolutely rigged for grave digger and I've gone to 2 other shows since then and it was the same kinda thing. Haven't gone back since

That was a good max d meme 😂

I just want Manchester 2019 to be a memory for people to forget. We don’t know if FELD will do it again. Hell I would just say “Bring back cars”

I Like The Grave Digger Design But The Purple Color Has The Ghost-Face

They hate it cause the people on the right side are boys and they like it cause the people on the left side are girls

I honestly don’t understand why people hated the purple gd the legend, it’s awesome. Also, it’s so popular already in the diecast circuit.

This is the reason why I stopped watching Monster Jam. They have become boring after removing junk cars.

The grave digger legend design can be used by the original as grave digger, son of a legend, or a fantasy truck. Probably mostly a fantasy truck

Fan judging is a two-edge sword. The pros are it obviously creates more interaction and participation from the fans and more fun to somewhat have an impact on the scoring. The cons are it will generally favor the more well-known trucks for a somewhat bias judging. I personally like it as it creates interesting discussion with the group you're attending with and it's more engaging, which is good for the sport. In the end, it's supposed to be fun for the fans and I look at it as the drivers have the races to compete with each other with an unbiased judging while the fans get to feel a part of the freestyle which is the most entertaining to watch.

I’ve attended many many events over the years and I can recall several times where an opponent of a very popular truck would appear to intentionally lose in order to pair up a popular rivalry for the championship race. I wish I could remember the particular event but I even remember the truck that was supposed to win the event experienced a mechanical failure and stopped short of the finish line and the intended loser, knowing he was supposed to lose, stopped because he didn’t know what to do 😅

Tom Meents vs Alex Blackwell?

A controversial moment that I feel you left out of this video is Dawn Creten not winning the freestyle championship at World Finals 9. Now, Adam Anderson and Dawn Creten both had two of the most insanely, incredible and memorable freestyle runs in Monster Jam history. HOWEVER, I wholeheartedly believe Dawn Creten should've been a Monster Jam champion on that night NOT Adam Anderson. I don't think any favoritism played a part in the outcome either it just so happened to be Adam got ONE more point. Another controversial moment that I think of is Minneapolis 2009 I attended this non-televised show but Chad Tingler was robbed by the judges he put on one hell of a freestyle. If I recall he ended up with 4 flat tires and just kept going! He, wouldn't stop it was AWESOME! Adam Anderson was the final performance of the evening and while he put on a great show like the Anderson's ALWAYS do he went home with the freestyle win & I was very disappointed in the out-come overall it was an incredible show & first great experience to see Monster Jam in person.

I disagree. Dawn Creten's run at WF9 was otherwise not especially great outside of her jumping the triple buses and making the save afterwards; it wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing, and it was also held back by the fact that she left 6 seconds on the regulation clock. Adam Anderson, meanwhile, put on one of the best freestyle runs in the history of monster trucks. His run had flow, high-speed momentum, huge air, wow factor, combos, and filled both the 90 seconds and bonus time. He deserved to win that night and he did.

Having a scoring system in general for a meaningless championship is the most controversial. When more than 80% of the trucks In competition at the events are owned by the “governing body” there is nothing legitimate. I’m sorry but there’s nothing more controversial than that. It’s just wrestling on wheels. Purist to the actual sport would agree. I’ve not taken a single MJ champion serious since the motor madness days. While bragging rights are great for the drivers it honestly leaves monster trucks in the sports entertainment realm and it makes it nearly impossible to cross back over to the TNT or Penda days

5:44 🤣what a clip

0:50 I love Maximum FPS Jam.

Pro tree lights, pro tree rules. Rolling out of the staging beams indicates a delay to stage as an aggressive act to the other racer in drag racing. Not the intent here, but it's the way the lights work, and the round before the same thing happened and the rerun caused cam to redlight himself, so I can see where the officials wouldn't want to delay any longer as they are transfixed on time points. Sucks that it happened, but that's the way they are setup.

The staging beams are not designed for monster trucks. They simply weigh and rock too much and easily trigger the sensors. During some of the world finals in Vegas (I think 2014 was one of the years) there were drivers complaining about tons of DQs or problems with their trucks not staging properly.
