EVENT DATE: January 10th-11th, 2020

Weekend Recap

This time on “The Allen Report”, we journey to Prescott Valley in the mountains of northern AZ. It’s a town known for big hills, wide open spaces and the Findlay Toyota Center, a development arena for the NBA. But on this night, the always competitive Toughest Monster Truck tour rolled into town to start its season for the second straight year.

The headliner of the show was BIGFOOT #21 with Dave Radzierez of XDP Diesel taking the wheel. Jerry Beck returned as the driver of the flying dump truck Dirt Crew along with teammate Quad Chaos, but former Monster Jam driver Bailey Shea-Williams took the driver’s seat of the world’s largest ATV. Finally, Mikeal Christensen driving Vendetta and brother Paul Jensen piloting Kamikaze rounded out the five truck field. [Read more…]

TMB Status Update

January 5, 2014 by RossBonar 7 Comments

Quick update for all you fans of TheMonsterBlog.com as we get ready to start our 10th year in 2014. As you’ve all probably noticed, not a lot of updates here on the site at the end of 2013. We have experienced a lot of technical difficulty with the website and the culprit has been identified as the software that runs our Photo Galleries.

This has been corrected, but has unfortunately broken all the photo galleries on the site. The problem has been fixed going forward and we will be restoring old photo galleries as time allows. With things now working properly and all the technical issues (hopefully) behind us, updates will return to normal.

Remember, even when there are issues with the site itself, you can always keep up with everything we’re doing by following us on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/TheMonsterBlog and there are always new episodes of TMB TV and other videos popping up on our YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/TheMonsterBlog.

Thanks for your continued support and we’re looking forward to another fun year of monster truckin’ in 2014!
