Does anyone have this clip but seen from the stands? Looks like she almost crashed into the other truck at the end and braked just in time while driving on two (or one) wheel? Not a monstertruck but I lovethe suspension... https://imgur.com/qEcSeXW.mp4
I think that was the point. A camera anchored to the truck is going to only show movement out the window on the horizon, having it anchored to the driver means you see/feel what the driver felt.
I know they wear a fire suit... But she should have some fun with it. And make the suit skin tone color and paint on a bikini on it... From the stands, the fans probably couldn't tell, but it would really get the crowd cheering, and she's still fully clothed and safe. Yes, it's a silly idea and there's probably rules against it, but, meh, why not.
Anyone else curious what all the center-console adjustments she's making during the run are? I know there's a gearshift, but there's a ton more buttons down there she seems to be adjusting. Anyway, cool vid, bruh.
I think the rear toggle switch controls the rear-wheel steering. The transmissions on these trucks are probably manually shifted automatics like they use in a lot of drag racing classes (you have to shift 'em yourself, but there's no clutch.)
They use a separate control to steer the back wheels. Could be that. Every limb the driver has is doing double duty except the steer hand. Guy told me it's worse than flying a helicopter.
Bigfoot was the 90s golden age of monster trucks. It's interesting the story of how and when monster Jam came around and why Bigfoot doesn't participate.
If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the company that owns monster jam wanted more rights and control of the teams, names and merchandise. And Bigfoot was one of the few who refused to sell out. While you can see Bigfoot appear it smaller shows across the country. You won't see them in monster jam.

The stabilization is amazing. But it really doesn't capture just how jarring those landings are.

If I was a millionaire, I'd ride in one of these over flying into space for 11 minutes.

Damn, I bet that feeling when they catch air off a jump is fookin' sweeeeeet

I've been to one of these events in my life when I was 7 in Alaska and was certain it was the height of human entertainment.

The fact that bullshit like this even exist is a disgrace for humanity.

I went to a monster truck rally once - it was way more awesome than I thought it would be. If you get the chance, you should check one out
Warning, they are incredibly loud - highly recommend ear plugs!
gablestout
They are an absolute guilty pleasure. I highly recommend folks try to catch one as well.

that perspective is... weird.

Yeah the gyroscopic camera was a strange choice. Disorienting.

Yeah, I’m tired of every action shot having a dumb fisheye effect

The reason why not is because that's creepy.

Might be Nitrous and/or water injection. Those are things that can't really be automated and are used only briefly.

Came to the comments wondering the same thing. Looks like she’s piloting a Gundam.

Seems more of a preserve than a jam

You know what the difference between jelly and jam is?

I remember seeing Big Foot when it was doing mud runs with tractor tires.
SocoFox
When it was still very clearly just a really lifted F150. I think i had Bigfoot II on a poster on my wall as a kid.
LinemanMatt
Do you remember this bad boy from the early 80s?
SocoFox
Yes! Never had one, but I had a decent collection of Stompers.

And here i thought Bigfoot was elusive...

I grew up next to thunder chicken’s rest point. Our annual lake trip drove right by it, and we’d always stop and take pictures with it.
