Monster Jam 2008
As he did last year and the year before and, yes, the year before that, Samson took me to see yesterday's Monster Jam at Nationwide Arena.
This is Gravedigger on his first run. Going up, over some cars.
This is how he came down. He was rolled clockwise to get uprighted.
Superman and Gravedigger race. The start line is just behind the first car (a hair past Superman's back tires). That's the finish line you see just in front of the trucks. It's a small venue so the races are short. This does not seem to negatively affect the happiness it gives Samson. (Click this image to enlarge.)
Brutus going up. You'll notice a van has been moved into place for freestyle. Insane OSU football fans will notice it's in LSU's school colors; I had no idea until it was pointed out by the announcer. (Click this image to enlarge.)
Captain Curse rolled over.
In between racing and freestyle there were mini-quad races and some freestyle dirt bike action. One of the dirt bike riders did a back flip with his motorcycle.
Sam and I are already making plans to go next year.

OJ would absolutely love that! I don't think we have anything close here though.
We do have horse & carriage racing though - I knew you'd like that idea ;o)

Happy New Year and thanks for your supportive comment on my stop smoking plan. I have saw the monster jam once a few years ago, I had a blast!
