Bigfoot is Real!

No, not that Bigfoot!
















The monster truck!














We went to the Charlottetown Civic Center on Sunday, for Monster Madness! It was great! Before the event had started, we got Chris a ride in the 3 time world champion "Bear Foot". I got the camera out at the end of it.



Being there early also meant that we got to see the trucks getting readied for the show. I never realized that they arrived at the show with small wheels on them! Hope my shaky camera work is not so bad that it puts you off.



There were 5 monster trucks there.
Bigfoot,













Easyrider,













Maniac (who retires at the end of this tour),













Jurassic Attack (driven by a woman),













and Bear Foot (who was only there to drive kids about).














They each had a couple of runs, and some races. This is Maniac's solo run. For me, it was the best one


They also had Quad-Wars, which was fun. I'd have loved to have a wee shot!
It was New Brunswick versus PEI. The cheaters from New Brunswick got disqualified. Haha.














They had a couple of races,



but when they freestyled, it was better.




And then there were the transformers. They were pretty cool. I got a fright when they started shooting at each other! I took some video of it, but it's very dark. It's not worth uploading. The flamethrower was quite impressive though. One transformed from this.













The event was sponsored by K-Rock and Ocean 100. You'll see that a lot.

There's a lot of pictures, and that could be the problem. Unfortunately, I can't duplicate the problem. OK, so here's a couple of possible solutions.

Click the title of the blog entry, and you will be brought to a page with only that entry. Less pics, so more bandwidth.

Or go to Picasa Web Albums where they are stored.

Hope that helps!
