I love how the commentator keeps going on about "watching the footwork" when the video is so dark you can't see any of it. :lol:

That’s about all I would watch on TV when I was a kid is stadium trucks/dirt bikes/and monster trucks. That’s only if I wasn’t in the woods on the trails pretending my bicycle was a dirt bike.

I used to catch this once in a while. It was fun watching the trucks lose all their bodywork from contact, and I always wanted a Stadium Super Light. Eventually got on quads.




But have y'all see the Stadium Super Trucks craziness?

I love those old stadium truck videos.

spent many an hour watching TNN world of motorsports


I must say those super stadium trucks are pretty awesome, surprised they aren't banned for being "unsafe" in this day and age.


This is probably the wildest end to any race that I've seen.

Not really an old video but a good one nonetheless.




Not the original version but the corny music makes up for it :lol:
