History Has been Made with these Monster Truck Wheels!

Monster Truck Front Flip

First-ever Front Flip!

Monster Trucks! CAN I GET A “HELL YEAH,BROTHER!”? Nothing is like watching these big hunks of naturally-aspirated metal throw themselves around a pit and crush things with their massive truck wheels. It’s testosterone in driving form, and it’s so much fun to watch.

So, last March at the Monster Jam World Finals XVIII in Las Vegas, something amazing happened. Driver, Lee O’Donnell and his VP Racing Fuels Mad Scientist truck did a front flip!

Now, Monster Jam has quite a few of very impressive backflips during their competitions. There’s nothing like seeing these massive truck wheels spin in the air, but nothing is like a front flip.

It’s exponentially more difficult to do a front flip in a monster truck with how the vehicle drives. A ramp with a proper curve and angle coupled with a vehicle’s speed is more than enough to get those truck wheels doing a back flip. A front flip requires a bit more effort and imagination.

The front flip stunt was done by O’Donnell hitting the throttle to raise the two front truck wheels in the air and speed towards a low ramp. This ramp had enough of an angle that when the rear wheels hit it, the truck was flung forward, causing a rotation and ending with a beautiful, history-making landing.

That’s how you do it, folks!
