6/26/16: Monster Jam Path of Destruction and Pit Party Fun

We have been going to Monster Jam since 2013 and absolutely love it!  When we first went I didn't know what to expect, but now after all of our visits we are pros.  We love starting out at the Pit Party which is a must do!  For only $10 to attend the Pit Party you get full access to all the drivers and get up close with the Monster Trucks which is awesome!

The kids love to take their Program Booklets and get them signed by all of the drivers.  One of Evan's favorites is Grave Digger and to see Dennis Anderson is so cool.  This is the second time we have got to meet him.

The Pit Party we went to went for 3 hours giving us a lot of time to see many drivers.  I will say prioritize who you want to see though.  Grave Digger and Max-D tend to have the longest lines so plan your order of drivers in advance.  Gas Monkey Garage sponsors a Truck and this is one of the new additions to the show.  The truck was driven by BJ Johnson who we met last year but he was driving a different truck.

Another newer truck was VP Racing Fuels' Mad Scientist.  I love the Scientist guy.  This truck is driven by Lee O'Donnell,

 I had also never seen Carolina Crusher driven by Gary Porter.

Lauren's favorites are of course the female drivers.  Here is Nicole Johnson who drives Scooby-Doo.  We met her back in 2013 and last year also.

Here is Team Hot Wheels driven by Scott Buetow.  He was a big winner in Monster Jam winning the Freestyle Competition.

One of my absolute favorites is Zombie driven by Bari Musawwir.  The arms bouncing up and down as he drives around cracks me up.

Here is Soldier Fortune driven by Chad Fortune.

We also love Max-D but the line was too long to meet the driver Tom Meents.  This truck is so cool.  They had some problems early on in the show and feverishly tried to fix it.

Here are the kids with many of the trucks.

Wow they are strong holding up El Toro Loco.

After the Pit Party we had a little break so we headed to eat something at Patriot Place.  Then at 7 it was back to the show.  The kids couldn't wait.

Here are all the trucks lined up ready to go.

The competition started out with time trials.  Here you can see Team Hot Wheels and Gas Monkey Garage.

Here is Monster Energy and Grave Digger.

Then there was a donut competition.  But last but not least is my favorite the Freestyle competition.  Check out the height these Monster Trucks get!

I love Zombies arms bouncing around as he jumps.

But the winner with a back flip was Team Hot Wheels.

What a great night for Monster Jam!  Check them out when they are in your town.

2/15/14: Monster Jam 2014 at the DCU Center

Today we went to MONSTER JAM and the Pit Party at the DCU Center and had an awesome time!  First we headed to the Pit Party which is actually our favorite part.  You get to meet all the drivers and see the trucks up close.

Here is on of our favorites, Grave Digger.

 Here is Grave Diggers driver Jon Zimmer.

 Another cool truck is Batman which was driven by John Seasock.  It was pretty funny that he called me over and asked me about my camera.  He was thinking of buying one for his girlfriend and wondering if it was good.  We had a nice chat about it. 

 So cool to be up close near the trucks.  They are huge!  The Pit Party is well worth the $10 admission!

Here is Krazy Train.  This was another one of Evan's favorites since it was a train.  He loves trains! 

How cute is the front?

 Here is Blue Thunder driven by Dan Evans.  We met him last year too.  Evan also likes this truck as it is blue and that is his favorite color.

 Here is El Toro Loco driven by Lupe Soza.  He ended up winning the Freestyle part of the competition.

Here is Aftershock driven by Bob Robbins. 

Plus Hurricane Force driven by Steven Thompson.

 Last but not least, Storm Damage driven by Tim Mente. 

 Evan also got to get to sit on an ATV.  This happens to be one from Team New England that actually beat Team New York in the races today.

 Here is one of the Team New England guys signing Evan's book.

Here is a slide show of some more pictures from the Pit Party.

 And some video from the Pit Party. Now it was time for the show.  All the trucks are ready to go!

 My favorite part, watching them get up high in the air.

Here is Grave Digger coming back down.

So cool!

Here is El Toro Loco on his winning Freestyle run.  They have one minute to do whatever they want.

Batman!

Blue Thunder flying high.

 So cool!

Here is a slide show of more photos from the show:

Wow he is up high on that bike!

 Love it!

 Here is the whole schedule.

I would highly recommend taking the family.

Still looking for that perfect gift for your son or even a man in your life?  I may have the answer!  MONSTER JAM  Plus if you live in MA I am giving you a chance to win 4 tickets to see Monster Jam at the DCU Center for February 14th at 7:30 pm.

Last year we also went to the Pit Party and I would highly suggest it.  You can get up close with the trucks and also get autographs from all the drivers.  It is well worth it for the extra $10.  Here are the kids with Grave Digger and Carl VanHorn.  

This year Monster Jam will include the following Trucks: Grave Digger® driven by Jon Zimmer, Batman™ driven by John Seasock, El Toro Loco® (Orange) driven by Lupe Soza, Blue Thunder® driven by Dan Evans, Storm Damage driven by Tim Mente, Hurricane Force driven by Steven Thompson, Aftershock driven by Bob Robbins and Krazy Train - driver TBA!! Subject to change without notice. 

This is a bus the kids don't mind seeing on school vacation.  If you are going to the Pit Party I suggest bringing something for autographs.  We bought a program there for $10.  Some kids had posters with them or had the guys sign their shirts.

 Last year was the first time Scooby-Doo was there at the show.

Here is the whole schedule.

The show is super cool too.  Even my daughter enjoyed it.  People also warned me to bring ear protection.  My kids were fine with some ear plugs.  They do sell headphones but I suggest buying your own before the show as they were $20.

  So cool!

There was also an ATV Race.
