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.

...huh. I'd never really thought about it before, but for whatever reason I was surprised to learn that this had only been a thing within my lifetime.

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.
