Monster Jam KILLED Crush Cars… (Here’s Why)

Monster Jam doesn’t crush cars anymore and we all feel it. Crush cars built Monster Trucks and Monster Jam into what they are. Moments such as Bigfoot crushing cars Infront of an audience at the Pontiac Silverdome in the 80s or the triple bus stacks of the World Finals, crush cars were the identity of Monster Trucks and Monster Jam as a brand. So why did that legendary element disappear? We break down the reasons crush cars are gone, most of which you guys provided comments on from our last video.
