Thirty years ago, Dennis Anderson brought the world GRAVE DIGGER, the most well-known and popular monster truck, which has since spawned a franchise. We took a trip to North Carolina to interview him and walk through his working museum of all things Grave Digger.

I think everyone should go to Monster Jam at least once in their life. It's an experience you just can't get anywhere else.

I got to meet Dennis 24 years ago, when he was still working out of a very modest garage in Kill Devil Hills, NC. He was exactly the same back then as he is now. It's great to see that he still has so much love and enthusiasm for what he does.

ever since I can remember I loved monster trucks and the one that I loved the most was the Gravedigger. How the truck looked with it's paint really stood out compared to other monster trucks like Bigfoot. By far the most coolest monster truck around, next to my second favorite Samson.
