Monster Jam World Finals 23 Full Show Review 

Read more about Linsey Read's retirement here, as well as more News Stories! monstertalk.com.au/news/linsey-read-announces-retirement

22:23 Hey that’s me! Mom! I made it on a MonsterTalk video👀

Freestyle gave some wf15 vibes. (Also how did you not mention Jamey garners emotional reaction)

im still thinking how *CRAZY* that moonwalk to backflip armando did

I was crying of happiness when Zack garner won because Zack and Jamey garner along with Brianna Mahon are my favorite drivers

This way was DEFINITELY BETTER than last year. Sad that I didn’t go despite living an hour away from LA. Also, I can’t believe Linsey Read is retiring. 😢

Welcome Back Jackson!

World Finals this year was really good. But I think we need to go back to 2 days. World Finals 21's freestyle track looked and felt like an old Vegas freestyle track(with the center being almost open and the sides being set for triple combos). I'd give it a 4 out of 5 myself mostly since the judging, while a bit low, was pretty fair in the final ranking. Great return video Jackson!

Hahaha 😂😂😂 SIT DOWN MAN 6:44 😂😂😂

You should’ve also mentioned how the announcer called Jamie Sullivan Jamey garner

Man it was cool meeting ya during the pit party, thanks for the sticker! Overall was a great event, cried during Zack’s win. Tyler deserved it in my eyes bc of the clock usage along with his banger run. Ryan deserved that podium for sure tho, awesome stuff overall.

All 24 trucks breakdown freestyle

We went to the World Finals in Nashville last year, & I can relate to the sound of your voice as you describe freestyle this year. Last year, the weather put a similar hinderance on the event for us. Initially, I felt what you are trying to express. You don't want to be overly critical, but it didn't live up to what it could have been. For our trip, I can say we built it up so much leading up to it, spent so much money, and had everything planned out seemingly perfectly. Immediately after, I focused on the weather changing the schedule, eliminating some skills runs, limiting the stunt, & most of the main drivers not being available during the pit party. However, after a year of contemplation, the parts that felt disappointing have faded while the high points stick out. Qualifying & racing were amazing. The drivers who were available in the pit party were kind and accepting. Most of all, I'm grateful for the memories we created in what was probably a once in a lifetime experience for us. I think after some time, you will reflect more positively on the entirety of it all. At least I hope you do. I will always appreciate the fact that we had the opportunity to enjoy it at all. Thanks for all you do sharing the monster truck world with us. Much love brother!

Tyler Menninga definitely had the best run of the night. Championship deserved.

This World Finals was the best us fans have had since 2019! Racing arguably had to be one of the best Racing Competitions in World Finals history with the anticipation, excitement, and awesome mind blowing runs! Zack Garner deserved this win for Team Over Bored and the emotions with him and his father Jamey Garner is what made this World Finals awesome! Two Skills and High Jump was really awesome! My only flaws with this World Finals is Freestyle not being the best and honestly Monster Jam should bring back the two days for this event like it should be with two separate track designs for Racing and Freestyle. No disrespect to Tyler Menniga but Ryan Anderson definitely deserved the World Finals Freestyle Championship. Not being biased or favoritism towards Ryan Anderson but he put down a Freestyle run that includes everything a Freestyle run should be!

Agree with your statement at the end Jackson. Id say the racing style made freestyle cramped. Didn't allow driver too get big air as they used too. I want them too bring back 2 day shows. It allowed you too meet more of the drivers and you didn't know what the freestyle layout would be.

Phenomenal review! I think having a general opinion and a critical opinion is very smart. On one hand, freestyle was mid, but on the other hand, it was your very first World Finals in person, so every memory is something to cherish.

yeah it’s mad annoying when people stand infront of you when something cool happens and you can’t see it because of them

I was actually there at that event

I am happy that Jackson is nothing but grateful for what he has experienced

My parents, my aunt and myself all had a watch party over the WF RU-vid live stream. We were all clapping and cheering for Zack Frickin’ Garner. Epic racing and an awesome memory.

I honestly believe that this was one of the best world finals we’ve had in a long time, despite freestyle being a truck killer, this world finals was absolutely incredible

I really wish they’d run the World Finals at Atlanta Motor Speedway or another speedway where they’d have ample room for a creative racing course and a variety of unique and well spaced out freestyle obstacles. The racing here was outstanding but it came at the cost of freestyle.

This would have been one of the best modern World Finals if there wasn’t so much JCB push and freestyle wasn’t so painful to watch.

I really do hope one day Michigan get the World Finals we have solid shows but it'll be nice to see the best of the best show out

This is one of my new favorite world finals

HE'S BACK!!!!

Great review Jackson! I had a great time at the World Finals, and even though freestyle suffered from either truck breakage or early rollovers, I'm usually more excited about the racing when it's the World Finals anyway. For freestyle, this track reminded me of how some of the earlier World Finals tracks were in Vegas, with all the big obstacles, where it was more about survival on the course just to make it through the whole time. It was great meeting at the Awards Ceremony too!

Thank you for this fantastic breakdown. Our favorite part was the addition of the LCQ! We can only hope they let that aspect grow & open the door to more independents to have a "chance". This will prove the crowning of a true world champion each year.

Hey monstertalk I am so glad you loved this world finals cause I loved it as well

19:52 ah (censored) he we go again

I'm proud of Zack Garner winning racing. He's worked hard to get to where he is and it all paid off. And seeing Zack's father Jamey Garner hugging him was SO heartwarming. As for the rest, seeing the debut of Sparkle Smash was awesome and seeing the Fortnite Truck was quite a surprise. Seems like it was a way to promote Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3. The design was awesome, based on the Behemoth SUV and demolishing the BattleBus was awesome. Freestyle did bite the trucks a lot but I'm happy Tyler Menninga won Freestyle. He's been dominate throughout the season and year and all of that paid off, making him the new Freestyle Champion.

Babe, Wake Up, MonsterTalk Is Back!

I may not have been at WF 23, but I'll see you at WF 24 in Salt Lake City

It was great meeting you in person! I was initially confused as to why you weren't upside down, but then I remembered that's not how Australians work.

Had a great time at WF only real downside aside from freestyle was no food available at only like 5 or so stands mid way through the show lol

Seeing Jamey Garner cry on the livestream was absolutely beautiful as the shock in his eyes as the finals went and the tears of joy on Jamey as he hugged Zack was beautiful and choked me up as well as a Hoosier 🌽🕳️🏎️

'For the first time ever the city of champions host their first ever Monster Jam World Finals'

Lindsey Read is retiring!?!?!?

I was watching the stream and seen you on and the overdriven mainia drivers went crazy over seeing you

Honestly, I thought this world finals was great. I feel like if it wasn’t for freestyle, this could’ve been a perfect event and it was great meeting you at the pit party. If you don’t remember me, I was the one with the El Toro shirt and had the sign.

I'm glad monster jam still goes to the males

Transmissions when WF 23:⛓️‍💥

Bruh, they brought back the yellow ETL

😎 That was fun at Los Angeles Jackson 😎

I’m so glad that Zack garner won his first monster jam world finals in his career he my second favorite monster truck and I saw him at Nashville Tennessee world finals but I was sad that he didn’t make the world finals

There is only one track layout that is proven to provide a great product for one-day world finals shows and that is Vegas Style. For tracks that have the space to do such, that should be the go-to. Maybe even throwback tracks with some modern aspects(backflip ramps, skills-compatible ramps) could be grounds for a great show.

Notice how they added yellow Monster Jam logos over the grey ones and Monster Jam cradle plates to the trucks

Bro, why were you crying but I’m really really sad that Lindsay Reeds retiring😢

Great video Jackson. I had the best time at World Finals 2024. Are you going next year?

At 1:28 and the fact he wasn’t penalized, but later in the video, around 2:05 Chris was penalized. This racing style is cool, but also controversial. Like many people got robbed.

Oh. By the way 2xtreme monster truck It's coming in texas motor speedway June 22 and 23

I guess this style is a better racing track, than it is for freestyle. Since everyone apart from 2-3 drivers didn’t get to complete their freestyle run

i wish they could do full field skills and high jump

I was there it was crazy 😮😮😮😮

IDK if it's just me but, since 2019 I've kept up with the world finals modernly and every year to me it just gets more childish and dumb. I've been thinking and I'm officially done with monster jam! Occasionally I will upload a video on my channel but it's not gonna be modern monster jam I can tell you...

Zack Garner definitely deserve the racing championship!

6:32 in that secment the chat was sayng MONSTER TALK or jasck son morris

Never in a million years would I think MJ would partner with fortnite. How many companies have they partnered with??

I wasn't impressed with the fortnite and sparkle smash ones tbh.

It was cool to meet you, but I was a little disappointed in the fact that it seemed a friend walked up as I was initially introducing myself so you kind of brushed me off, but I understand there was a lot going on, I would have just liked to talk to you a moment longer is all As for the event, it was my first world finals, and was a 2 year old me’s dream come true, a truly fantastic experience

Tbh cole got robbed at wf, his freestyle shouldve been third imo

JACKSON MORRIS!!!

3:25 that’s actually not true. He was the fastest qualifier at WF20 in 2019.

4:05 weston*

I hope we’ll see the Fortnite truck run sometime this year. but it’s unlikely, because the actual season of Fortnite they’ve been advertising ends on August 16th.

TBH this world finals freestyle was kinda boring because every truck would crash early was some drivers would get low scores and some runs were disappointing

15:12

When are you going to continue the hot wheels and monster jam beef video?

Toucan is going to be mad at you said the new avenger back and in Nashville was awful

yeah freestyle was not good. Stephens was robbed of at least a podium

6:33 give credit to me 😏I did it first

Those new designs were dope!

Wait who drove overboard if Jamey was in el toro?

Why ever do A review on the 2024 events, everything post 2014 is not worth looking back on.
