We would like for all of you to cry. My heartfelt little tribute to the absolute legend that is Tom Meents, who has retired from driving in Monster Jam after 30+ years. God Bless you Tom.
Life is a wild ride. Always wonderful to be around people who get that, and live life as wide open as possible. We may not live long, but the secret to happiness is to live every moment we do have in full awareness that it will all be over someday. Live wide open.
I've come back to watch this video several times and it keeps popping up in my recommendations, every time I see this I watch it and just think to myself "This is a masterpiece" Thanks for this video, it has really helped me think of Tom's retirement in a whole new light.
It feels like I've been a fan of Tom since the day I was born. As a tiny kid, I saw him flip Monster Patrol in the Delta Center. 15 years later, as a high school senior, I finally got to see him in person again at my first World Finals. Then I was fortunate enough to be there for both his skills championships, the massive leap at WFXX, his last freestyle title, and his last World Finals appearance. I always knew the ride can't last forever, but it's still hard to believe that Tom is done. Tom, if you ever see this, thanks for the decades of memories that you gave me and my family out on the track.
I keep trying to tell myself to smile that it happened instead of crying that it's over, but I'm having to combine the two. Perfect song and video choices. Thanks for your sacrifices, Tom.
It really has been an emotional week. It was hard for me not to cry when Tom did his speech and whatnot, but then finding out later in the week Linsey Read was also retiring, I couldn't help but cry. They both have made a huge impact in monster trucks and fans
At least apparently Max-D is still going… yeah sad Tom is done but at least we can always honor and remember Tom Meents got his final tour of destruction T-Shirt…
Man this makes me sad all over again but congrats to Tom on an insane career 🔥🔥🔥 I still hope he makes a one night only comeback from time ti time but aint no way he deserves to go out on an injury 😔😔😔
