Monster Jams in Denver
February 13, 2009
A huge Monster Jams crowd saw the awesome debut of Backwards Bob in Denver recently, and an all-star Monster Jam cast made it a Jam to remember. Among the attractions were Blue Thunder and Grave Digger trucks, as ever pulling some wild wheelies and embarking on a crazed race to the finish. Blue Thunder won the wheelie contest, a point ahead of Grave Digger, 24 to 23. Backward Bob scored a lowly 18 but his general performance was still enough to amaze the assembled Colorado crowd.
Blue Thunder also won the racing segment, once more keeping Grave Digger out and forcing him into second place. Backwards Bob was roundly beaten by Blue Thunder in the first round and Donkey Kong fell to Thunder in a closely raced semi-final. Grave Digger fought a thrilling race with El Toro – a photo finish, no less.
All the Monster Jammers were in fine form for the Freestyle segment, with Blue Thunder looking like a winner, until Donkey Kong steamed in and took first place. Blue Thunder is definitely a truck to watch in the coming months, though, and he proved his pedigree in this fantastic Denver Monster Jam. El Toro eventually won the Freestyle outright when he beat Donkey Kong by one point amid some utterly insane monster jam action; flying like a demon, he impressed the judges and easily impressed the crowd. The Grave Digger truck lost its rear end on its second run and had to be happy wth 21 points. All in all it was a great debut for Backwards Bob, and the Denver crowd will surely welcome him back next time around.
