Yeah, before any other Anderson, and before even Tom Meents himself, I think it made him the second driver to Cam to execute a successful backflip.

I KNOW! I've seen that one! I've always wondered why they don't count it, but they don't, so the only one that people would think is the first is Mad Scientist, so I put it there just to satisfy them, but I definitely agree. It's great to find someone who knows!

Actually in world finals 8 Dennis did a front flip

Uh what about escalade in 2009 front flip in racing i dont remember the show be he did the same why how mad scientist did it but landed on the tail but landed on all 4s

That was a somersault. The truck would have to leave the ground for it to be a front flip, though it was still spectacular, don't get me wrong.

That's not what a somersault is, and I'm surprised I'd have to say that, I thought that word was common sense. A somersault is when the truck rolls end over end without leaving the ground, but it is true that he didn't quite land it.

Oh yeah, you're right, and it wasn't even off the backflip ramp!

YEAHHHHHH

Dude that's so awesome u got to see that world finals

@@MyWorld-eb9oz yeah that was the first even to watched and i was hooked. i wish i got the chance to go to a world finals in vegas 🙁 but i mean i’ve been to jacksonville twice and that was awesome

T​@@iamnothuman77dartdontlie66

It always amazes me just how easy it looks for them to throw around such huge machines. I have to imagine inside that it felt like going around a loop-the-loop on a roller coaster, where your head is being forced between your legs by the negative G's you're pulling at such high speeds.

11,000 Lbs? So about 5 1/2 tons then. Now it's 6 tons.

Me too! He doesn't appear much in this vid, but he has many other accomplishments.

And botching their flips LMAO

Well, the actual first one, I just discovered, was Monster Mutt in the racing encore of that same year, so it's wrong anyway, lol.

Your profile picks stuck on the thumbnail backflip ramp, lol!

1: I'd love to see some sort of in-depth explanation of the physics behind all the crazy stunts monster trucks pull off someday. 2: Keep in mind that that's Neil Elliott in his Maximum Destruction chassis, even if it had the Team Hot Wheels Firestorm body on. That combination of chassis and driver practically guarantees crazy bullshit will happen.

Broke his head

We all do, especially when the birthday truck got to knock it down for its party.

​@MyWorld-eb9oz And also how Monster Energy hit it during his freestyle. Love how it got damaged

I heard that too. I wish he realized it wasn't that way, 'cause he was setting up for an incredible run.

​@@MyWorld-eb9ozyeah Chris admitted that he wanted to bust through the trailer. He hit the brakes because he saw sky and thought he was through it. Tough it though

Its based on luck so idk

Well, he had to hit the gas a the right time, so it was a bit of skill

I know earlier on that night, Pablo Huffaker had sunk in the top of the ramp by landing on it during his freestyle run. Maybe that had something to do with how it affected Marc McDonald's hit.

Marc Schrader said ETL had no driveline, but the ramp messed up Madusa's hit on the same ramp, since she broke it on the landing.

Completely, though it's still successful, so not too much of a bummer.

Son-uva Digger?

Bro just called it blue grave digger 💀

It's in the name!

Well, add that to the list of being first to his career, lol.

True

Well, I can't count after this video was made because of how time works, but other than that yes, you're correct, I really hate watching those world finals.

Oh, I guess so, I always forget those racing encores.

Nice! Yeah, that's the second most at once, fittingly only to the army tribute encore of 2016, with eight!

@@MyWorld-eb9oz i really wish the two others trucks were recorded better as there is not much footage of them that actually shows them doing the backflip

It's a lot like the WCW Nitro Machine run from the first world finals, but a tiny bit more accessible. I guess they thought those four backflips shown were the only ones we cared about, which isn't too outrageous seen as one did an amazing save, another started break dancing, and a third got stuck, lol.

@@MyWorld-eb9oz I did find a clip that showed, them, with the one to the left doing a perfect backflip then breaking a rear wheel, kinda like crusador did. the other landed on a wheelie and then landed it back on all 4 tires.

Noice!

How did you notice that 😂

Yikes!

Madusa - "Am I a joke to you?"

Erm tbh in my opinion please no hate but a successfully landed back flip is when they land it and are able to keep going.

For example world finals 2016 white Madusa with Brianna Mahon was the first female to successfully land the back flip an keep going.

Well, actually, that makes no sense. No one has ever defined successfully LANDED as landed and continued! That's what YOU think a successful backflip is.

@@Metal.tv_808 what do you mean by FIRST EVER woman to ever land a backflip

Well, this was the first successful world finals backflip, how 'bout that?

Precisely, I hope I made that point in the video.

2015 world finals. It's the young guns shootout encore.

Yes, once I get back into Monster Jam, a video containing that moment will be the first thing I release. Thank you for the suggestion, it is taken with pleasure.

Cuz the copyright was keeping the video from monetization

I know it was. I should've said first *world finals* backflip, then it would've been accurate.

Well, while that's kinda true, Foxborough was actually even less clean in my opinion. I mean, he kinda destroyed the truck. BTW, what's your profile pic from? It's really cool.

Ironic, though, that his first successful world finals backflip was an attempt at a double backflip, since he properly rotated the first one

@@MyWorld-eb9oz It's from the animated TV series Star Wars Rebels. It's a picture of one of the main villains of the show, Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Oh, cool. I'm not insanely invested, but I have total respect for the franchise. Is he a furioussherman like you? Heh, heh.

@@MyWorld-eb9oz Not really. I just chose the name Furious Sherman because teenage me thought it sounded cool.

Yeah, that's probably more accurate, but since I can use either without really lying, I do want to use what sounds a bit more appealing.

@@MyWorld-eb9oz fair enough. I really enjoyed watching your video!!!

Cool, thanks!

@@MyWorld-eb9oz you’re welcome!

lol, bruh got beat up all night.

Good question? Maybe it is. The truck DOES have the same Mercury body design.

​@@MyWorld-eb9ozI believe it was the chassis that ran as Monster Mutt all of the 2014 season

I guess it's hulk dogs

Do it where?

Precisely

Exactly. If they'd given the freestyle title that night to Damon Bradshaw or Dennis Anderson, everyone would've been happy since they both had epic runs from start to finish. Adam had a very good run, but it just fell short in places that the judges should've considered better.

good for you 👍

Heh... uh...

Yes, but stuff like this has made me a more mature fan, because now I'm not so focused on Grave Digger winning, and just enjoying the sport as purely entertainment.

​@@MyWorld-eb9ozI agree with this. I really do not care at all who wins any particular competition as long as it is deserving. I personally feel like Dennis Anderson should've won freestyle in 2016. And Damon Bradshaw should be a very close second place only because he only really did huge air. The air he git was extremely impressive because it was just moonshot after moonshot. However, he did have to back up a fee times which back then was supposed to be a points deduction. Even though that's not really taken into consideration anymore

That's fair, but Adam and Krmel call it, and most would include it, so I kept it in.

Yeah, for real, however he finally landed one in 2015.

​@@MyWorld-eb9ozand the 2015 one was so corked out and not even clean lol

Wow, you've commented a lot since I was gone.

Clearly you didn't see it, but I have a video of the whole run, so look at it yourself, also, I included Bounty Hunter, who didn't even flip backwards, it was just a lean back and twist.

@@MyWorld-eb9oz I know why, It's red. Toro's hates the color red

I guess I didn't think about that, thanks for letting me know. At least I got the successful part right.

Maybe brutus is not a dogpound Brutus is a truck from team scream

Yeah, I mention in the comments that I also only include a few from world finals 2018. I actually do that in all of my videos. Put "every world finals" into the title, but only go until world finals 18, 17, and sometimes even 14. I guess I'm just too lazy to do anything about that part, but "every" world finals sounds more attractive than "almost every" world finals, and I don't care if it's honest or not. It's about views and getting people to get involved with my channel. In all seriousness though, it IS just a title. Does it really matter?

@@MyWorld-eb9oz damn didnt have to do me like that but ok

i was just stating the title

Oh, I wasn't trying to diss you, I just wanted to get the fact out of the way that I don't really care about bending the truth in my title. That's all.

I had a frustrating feud with a guy who just completely overreacted about it like I was having a freaking affair on my wife, so I just wanted to avoid that immediately with you, but you seem cool about it, so I'm fine.

It's hard to find a balance between too long and too short, and I didn't get it right each time.

He tried a backflip but the truck just went straight up, moved above the container and landed in it. Was a crazy moment in time!

the axel broke

On Scooby Doo (which there was) or Hot Wheels?

​@@MyWorld-eb9ozits scooby doo! Where both front tires gone flat

I totally agree, his freestyle as a whole was much better than Lee's, Lee just had the first of what we'd been waiting for until than and it was so smooth, I mean I'll say THEE most satisfying move I've ever seen, and the more impressive reverse backflip, which is just a front flip off a backflip ramp, wasn't voted the winner because it was less satisfying. If it wasn't such a special moment, Neil would've won.

Agree Neil Elliot should’ve won

yes

Mmm, a masterpiece.

Hello

Yes, we all know.

Ok sorry@@MyWorld-eb9oz

What are you talking about? Do you mean the 35th anniversary? There isn't a backflip in the 30th anniversary encore, but there're three in the 35th. I'm pretty sure I included all of them, and NO, they're not the most famous, but I may be wrong about including them. Guess I'll go check.

Yep, I included it. Here's the clip for proof: 9:05

There is, with gd getting el toro out of the container. Also yes, it’s just the most famous to me.

Wrong one.

Dude, there's no way I was gonna count that as a *backflip attempt*. He didn't have the slightest bit of end over end rotation. He was trying to take out El Toro Loco in my opinion. However, thanks for making it clear that it's the most memorable for YOU, not the most famous. It's a bad trait that all of us have sometimes, where we say something is the greatest, or most famous, when it's just that way in our opinion, and it puts words in people's mouths.

I accidently pressed the send button 😢

Send to where?

Okay, well it was his first world finals backflip. I know that for certain.

@@MyWorld-eb9oz yup

Yeah, it was in Jacksonville, everyone knows that.

Huh?

I legit had no idea that encore even existed until last Saturday. It was pretty neat, but I could never bring it up by memory unless I saw it live. I didn't give a crap about Monster Jam that year. Everything was ruined by fan judging by that time.
