Episode notes
Origin Of Bigfoot Monster Truck
- Marc Sanchez tells the origin story of Bigfoot, the first monster truck built by Bob Chandler in the late 1970s.
- He describes monster truck shows' spectacle: huge tires, flips, wheelies, and fiery stunts that thrill crowds.
Size And Power Create The Spectacle
- Monster trucks combine size and power: tires over 5.5 feet tall and engines with over seven times typical car horsepower.
- That scale delivers dramatic spectacle and speeds up to about 70 mph despite their massive size.
Protect Your Hearing At Monster Jams
- Avoid overstimulation at monster truck events if loud noises bother you because levels reach 90–125 decibels.
- Consider ear protection or skip loud rallies to prevent potential hearing damage.
