When I first heard Monster Jam announcer Scott Douglass begin talking about the Young Guns Shootout in Las Vegas, I wondered just what the deal was. What trucks would be in Vegas, when would they compete…basically, I wondered what the deal was! The previews continued until the big announcement on Monster Jam’s Facebook that it would be a competition on Friday night during the Double Down event, and a couple competitors have already been announced. Congratulations are in order to Bari Musawwir (Spider-Man) and Scott Buetow (Iron Man) for making the cut. Since that leaves us with six trucks, I wanted to throw out a few names I noticed that fit Monster Jam’s criteria of two years or less with Monster Jam and are not competing in the World Finals (of course, some competitors are up in the air, so I’ve kept that in mind):
It was a busy weekend for the AllMonster staff as Jeremy Puglisi headed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the Monster Jam there and watched Tom Meents dominate the weekend. Bari Musawwir and Spider-Man was able to take a racing win on the weekend as well. A few teasers from the weekend are below (click More for the rest):
“What a muddy mess!” This was the first thought that came to mind when I arrived to check out the Miami Monster Jam, and it ended up being the theme of the night. The Monster Jam dirt crews worked feverishly to give the drivers the best conditions possible, but ultimately, Mother Nature always wins. The drivers rose to the challenge and still turned out a tremendous show, but it was not without some controversy at the end.
It was a muddy mess at the Miami Monster Jam before the show.
Hey guys, welcome back to Starting Line. It was another great week on the “I Love Florida” Tour, and the second time around in Tampa was just as sweet. I’ll keep it short and sweet with some bullet points this time; we were recording a brand new Beyond the Lens podcast and getting our 2012 monster truck photo galleries online this week:

Tom Meents continues to wow in Maximum Destruction, and teammates Neil Elliott and Kreg Christensen won this weekend as well. (photo: Jeremy Verret)
The last weekend in January for monster trucks proved every bit as exciting as the promise, with several shows enjoying what I call defining moments–those ones where you’re just happy to be a monster truck fan and realize you’re seeing something special. A lot of these moments were provided by the Maximum Destruction team, with all three drivers–Tom Meents, Neil Elliott, and Kreg Christensen–picking up sweeps on the weekend. [Read More …]
Jeremy Verret attended the New Orleans Monster Jam and was great enough to send us all the awesome action shots from the event, where Tom Meents doubled down, taking racing and freestyle in Maximum Destruction. Andy Slifko took Eradicator to the racing finals, and Jim Koehler and Charlie Pauken had highlight freestyles in Avenger and Grave Digger, respectively. Plenty of highlight moments are in this gallery; we thank Jeremy for the photos. Check our 2012 Photos to see New Orleans!
When I was speaking to Jeremy Slifko of the Backdraft team this past week, he told me something very interesting that made me think about freestyle–“Sometimes, to run like the best, you’ve gotta crash like the best.” What Jeremy meant was not, “I have to wreck my truck to win,” because that’s never what he or most teams are about. The point Jeremy brings up is the risk-taking mentality of monster truck freestyle that is a necessity in order to get a win, particularly on the larger stages in the sport.
Josh Kirscher was kind enough to send in his photos from Detroit last week; we thank him for his time. He’ll also have a Minneapolis gallery on the way soon, so stay tuned. Head over to the 2012 Photos section for more!
