Bigfoot Attempts the Monster Truck Long Jump Record

I know there’s a lot of stereotypes that link Monster Trucks with a redneck “WOOOOO, Hold My Beer and Watch This!!” mentality. If you go into this video with those stereotypes in mind, you will be surprised. I was. Yes this bit is about a monster truck attempting a long jump record, but that’s just the icing on the cake. The interview with Bigfoot’s owner, Bob Chandler, and Bigfoot 18’s senior driver, Dan Runte, is the real treasure. They talk about the start of what has become a 37 year legacy of motorsports in Bigfoot. It’s an intimate look into what it takes to run the organization and a tribute to the fans that make the whole thing possible. That being said, the long jump is also absolutely incredible. I think the longer it flew through the air, the more my jaw dropped.
