80's Monsters and Mud Boggers - Bigfoot Record Setting Jump (56 feet) 

The first pass over the undamaged cars was the most gratifying

When I was little I did the same thing. But I also lived 2 blocks from the old shop. Bigfoot will always be king!

My mom still says, "let's go watch the Bigfoots" 😂

Yea bigfoot the king of the monster truck

BigFoot was the first Monster truck to get Famous. But The Beast was before bigfoot. And The Beast is what pressured Bob to keep building Big Foot. Both trucks are from Hazelwood, Mo.

@@Motleymick is that the same Beast that became famous with the school bus body style monster truck?

The reason Bigfoot isn't in Monster Jam is because Bob Chandler didn't want to sell out. When I learned that all the trucks including the legend Dennis Anderson sold I lost a little respect. I get it financially but still it's the principal

Bigfoot > Monster Jam

I loved this era too but all the drivers destroyed their spines and necks and brains in a few short years driving these beauties. They had almost no suspension and had to have their necks in a bad position to see out. Today they can see the floor and they have 30 inches of suspension travel instead of 6 inches and they are strapped i to the seats with their spine and neck fully protected.

Weekends were so much cooler in the 80's

U had cable???? Spoiled brat... lol ... did u have the deluxe package with 12 channels? Had rabbit ears at my house 👍

Amen.

Not really

I bet you think your mullet is still cool.

My first time seeing Big Foot was 1978 at the world of wheels show in Chicago. Bob let me walk under the truck I've been a fan ever since!

You right too much show now.

I know I think that real truck bodies should be required

Well today's trucks from a far angle, they look like their body is like metal foil or something wrapped around a Cage. Not like the 80's they were more strong and stayed intact on impacts

its proven to be safer with new trucks and cars. You're smoking crack you dumb fuck!@@w0lf667

Yup fiberglass toys all day long. And screw the safety excuse.

I’d love to see one of those old pos truck do the shit these truck do today.. they had to change gears to become safe.

Timmy Thurman Talk about no knowledge. These things are far from POS’s.

Now we can’t see dislikes

Bob always made sure the brake lights and the back up alarm worked.

Majority of the drivers did this, it was the only way they could see where they are placing their tires on the cars.

@@dc1925 and a couple went into the stands. I miss 80s monster truck racing.

It still exists, but I think its in a musem now

@@dumdum7786 actually its owned by the creator of the truck and still gets driven today 😂 basically all OG bigfoots are for display and events

Still waiting for the mud!

drew brutal DAMN DREW, 84 Silverado square body light blue rims,468 Chevy big block. Said enforcer with a arm holding a gun on side of truck. ONLY thing the truck was DARK BLUE. Could have been mistaken for black though. WOW dude, if it was me that’s cool🤣👍👍👍we were in 4x4 magazine a couple of times

drew brutal also, the truck had police lights on the roof.

What they do now is totally bonkers

Not just Jim but other Bigfoot drivers and other monster trucks

Ikr, the nuts on Kramer

YouGotsTheRabies it's a triple predator carb set up. Legit as hell and had some crazy set up for making big power

Those triple preds are legit. Although the big reason for them on the truck was to keep it fed with fuel at weird angles. Carbs usually dont like being at constant beyond level degrees

Don't forget the blower and nitrous plate

KC was a popular brand of lights back then. They had covers to protect the lights with the KC logo on them.

They did that to see where they are going

1986 BIGFOOT BOSS all the way home
