Actually, I think it was because of my younger brother when were together he would always want to watch or play monster trucks and I would easily do so over the barbie dolls.
I recall Mum taking us to see monster trucks when they had it at The Royal Melbourne Show and then they stopped appearing there and that was a sad time.
BUT... Prepare yourselves as Monster Jam is coming back to Australian soil where they will be doing donuts and racing around making your jaw drop or holding your breathe for their stunts.
Last year when Monster Jam was here in Melbourne I sadly wasn't able to attend as I was away, but this year I'm sticking around for it and have it locked in the diary already. However, I did get to hear them on my trip up to Sydney which I was staying around the road from them and could hear them as well as see them on display in their party. The sounds of them excites me.
The show will feature four competitions in which the Monster Jam drivers will be competing for as well which will see them go head to head by stunts.
The 2016 lineup will see a number of fan favorite Monster Jam trucks including; Grave Digger, Monster Mutt Dalmatian and Max-D. They'll also be bringing their newbie friends around with them; Alien Invasion, Pirates Curse and El Toro Loco.
These Monster Jam trucks are custom-designed machines that weigh over 5,500kgs each- that's the weight of leg pressing 80kgs for 15 reps by about 4.5 sets IN ONE!
The acceleration of the Monster Jam trucks can go from 0-100kph in under 3 seconds. They fly through the air covering up to 50m in a single leap (14 cars wide distance) and up to 12m skywards.
Monster Jam saw three out of the four states sell out, now this year they will stopping by in Adelaide, which will see a fifth state added to the tour.
Monster Jam trucks kick off their tour from October 1st:
October 1st - QSAC, Brisbane
October 8th - AAMI Park, Melbourne (2 shows)
October 15th - Adelaide Oval, Adelaide
October 22nd - ANZ Stadium, Sydney
October 29th - Domain Stadium, Perth (2 shows)
Tickets are very affordably priced with prices starting from $28 (other fees may apply).
Get in early though as 170,000 tickets were sold nationwide last year and three of the four shows sold out.
Party in the Pits anyone? You or your little one's can get up close and personal with the Monster Jam trucks as well as meeting the superstar drivers. Each city will be hosting one of these parties.
