Monster Trucks

What's Hot
Bought my eldest lad (6) a little Hot Wheels Monster Truck yesterday, after goggling it we see it's based on a real truck "Northern Nightmare" so we watched a few clips on youtube and he's loving it....and wants to go and see some real monster trucks do there thing.

So back to google and, grrrrrr, we're a month too late for this http://www.monstertrucknationals.co.uk/trucks.html at Santa Pod.

Anyone been to that or similar events in the UK?

  • That's the stuff we want to see!

    We saw a clip with the one with the wiggly arms (and a dog with silly ears).

    Saw Bigfoot at Skegness stadium a few years ago.A bit of car crushing and some serious jumping.It really is an awesome spectacle and the noise it makes is absolutely brutal.And it can bloody shift too.
    Laugh, love, live, learn.

    Nope, freeview only here. Plenty of online clips for my son to watch.....but we want to see (and hear) it for real (or at least the UK version)

    Necrothreadbump....a year later and we had a great family day out at Santa Pod yesterday for the UK Monster Truck Nationals...certainly a smaller event than the US stadium shows but it was great....and plenty of old bangers and caravans destroyed.

    "Swamp Thing" had a bit of a mishap on it's final run...(driver got out uninjured)

    My 7 year old lad was very proud he got it on camera...

  • there is another Motor Madness next month (sun 18th) at Leicester Racecourse, not as good as your santa pod one as its more of a car show with a monster truck demo. still if you are not far away and your lad wants his fix it might be worth considering.. we went to the last one and will be going to this one.. great piccy opportunities.

    Cool, I'll check that out as yes it's not far. 

    The US trucks are coming over for a Monster Jam event in Cardif in a week or so, sadly we can't make it for that.

    Monster Bump...as the Monster Jam UK Tour is on for 2019. 

    Recent years they’ve just been to Cardiff but this year they have a mini tour including Manchester and Coventry (which is a lot easier for us to get to than Cardiff). 

    Vroom vroom vroom.

    I won tickets to Monster Jam at Cardiff last year, took the kids with me, it was a great day out. 

    Top tip; take ear plugs if you do go, especially if it's a stadium or indoor event like it was at Cardiff.  Eight methanol powered supercharged V8s running at full chat without silencers together in an enclosed environment is chuffing loud!

    They do sell ear defenders at the merch stores but naturally they're ££££ :O

    There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife

    Turns out there is an H in Haych! ~ Sporky

    Bit of trading feedback here.

    Yeah, I take my kids to airshows and motor racing so they have their own ear defenders.
