Monster Jam 2016

Excited yet? How could you not be!

My boys have loved monster trucks (borderline obsessed) since they could first grasp things in their tiny little hands. They would race them, jump them and crash them, just as the professionals do. It is every little boy’s fantasy. Actually my daughter loves them as well so I guess there is a chance she could follow in the footsteps of Becky McDonough or Candice Jolly and step into the driver’s seat.

We have wanted to see Monster Jam in person for years but for one reason or another (mostly work or having babies) we have not been able to make it. This year is different and we cannot wait!

Meet Adam Anderson – Monster Jam Driver 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be involved in Monster Jam? To drive those jaw-dropping trucks? Well wonder no more because the crown ‘Prince’ of Monster Jam, Adam Anderson is here to answer a few questions!

• How did you get started competing on the Monster Jam circuit?

Adam Anderson:  I pretty much had no choice. It’s always been my life. It’s all I ever knew, from the beginning all I ever knew was Monster Jam trucks. It was the regular daily living that my Dad created when I was a baby. That was the start of things back then, now today it’s such a huge thing that my Dad’s created. I went with my Dad a lot. When I was younger we were gone all the time, until I had to start school. Once we were in school we’d go along on the weekends here and there, and in the summertime we’d still go out a lot with him. Dad was gone a lot making a name at the time so often he’d be gone for three months at a time. We had to be home going to school, we had to get that finished up before we could do anything. Then once school was over that was the end of my life as a regular person, I was back on tour. I’ve always watched the guys work on the trucks. I could have just driven the truck but that didn’t seem right to me because even though I was always around it I didn’t know everything. You will never know everything. These trucks are so unpredictable, something different breaks all the time. So just to go on the road and work on the trucks all the time you know the trucks better and I feel that because of that you can drive the trucks better. If you really know what is going on with the truck you are going to be a better driver because of that. When I started on a crew I worked for Lupe Soza, and he tears up more than a lot of other guys do, so on my very first tour of Europe as a crew member he worked me to death. So now I have a completely opposite driving style to him because of that.

• What do you do with your free time?

Adam Anderson:  In my free time I just love to work on old trucks. I love to go to the beach and stuff like that but what I really love is messing with trucks. We do the same things on a smaller scale. Pretty much break ‘em and fix ‘em and break ‘em and fix ‘em. Now I like to go fishing, but I also build trucks to go fishing in. I like the old school trucks.

• Did you always want to be a Monster Jam truck driver like your dad?

Adam Anderson: I did always want to be a Monster Jam driver like my dad. Before he even drove or built a truck he ran heavy machinery as a young man. I even did that too!

• What your favourite part of your job?

Adam Anderson: I love seeing how happy everyone is whether it is meeting them in person or the joy fans get out of seeing a Grave Digger truck get destroyed.
