Pure Americana. Just a dude who loved off-roading obsessed with putting bigger and bigger tires on his truck. Named it Bigfoot. Drove over a couple of cars and taped it for fun.

Fast forward to BIGFOOT performing at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1983 in 72,000 people and flashing cameras. History was made.

      I assumed monster trucks have literally always been around. I’d like to go back in time and show him a video of a modern monster truck rally.
