During the season hiatus, Monster Jam® attempted 7 world records and officially set 6 Guinness World Records. Fans tuned in on Saturday, August 8th on Discovery Channel to watch DIESEL BROTHERS: MONSTER JAM® BREAKING WORLD RECORDS.
Monster Jam Guinness World Records & Attempts:
· Highest Jump in a Monster Truck (Record Set)
· Krysten Anderson, the first and only female driver of Grave Digger®, set the record for the highest ramp jump in a monster truck by getting her back tire in the air 33.8 feet on her first attempt. She beat the previous record, 21.33 feet, by 12.5 feet.
· Longest Nose Wheelie in a Monster Truck for Distance (Record Set)
· 12-time Monster Jam World Finals® Champion, Tom Meents, in Max-D™ completed the longest nose wheelie in a monster truck for a total distance of 209 feet on his 4th attempt. His record to beat was 50.85 feet. To set the record, Guinness requires all tires to land on the ground; in his 5th attempt he traveled more than 600 feet, but all tires did not land on the ground, requiring him to submit his 4th attempt.
· Fastest Speed in a Monster Truck (Record Set)
· Now officially the fastest Monster Jam driver in the world, Bryce Kenny, driving Great Clips Mohawk Warrior®, was able to set a speed record at 100.31, which no one has ever gone over 100 mph in a monster truck. The previous record was 99.1 mph.
· Most Consecutive Donuts in a Monster Truck (Record Set)
· After 4 attempts, the most consecutive donuts (spins) in a monster truck is now 58 and was achieved by Bari Musawwir driving Zombie™ while keeping within a 77-foot circle. The record to beat was 41.
· Most Donuts in One Minute in A Monster Truck (Record Set)
· Bari Musawwir also set a record for the most donuts (spins) in a monster truck in one minute at 44 giving him two Guinness World Records.
· Most Monster Trucks Jumped by a Monster Truck (Record Set)
· Adam Anderson driving Megalodon ® jumped 8 Monster Jam trucks to earn his Guinness World Record title. The previous record was jumping 7 Monster Jam trucks, held by Colton Eichelberger set at Monster Jam World Finals in 2018.
· Forward Momentum Double Backflip in a Monster Truck (Official Attempt)
· Todd LeDuc attempted the first-ever forward momentum double back flip while driving a monster truck, a stunt no one has ever landed before, with 12 practice attempts by two people. As he hit the top of the 20-foot ramp on the first attempt the engine blew, and the crew onsite had to quickly swap a motor for his second attempt that ended up being unsuccessful and the hardest hit in Monster Jam ever.
Additional Notes:
· Brother and Sister – Adam Anderson and Krysten Anderson from the “First Family of Monster Jam,” each set a Guinness World Record.
· Bari Musawwir did more than100 donuts with four attempts before he set his record.
· Bari Musawwir set 2 records within one attempt.
· Todd LeDuc practiced his forward momentum double backflip attempt by landing in a “car pit” which is similar to a foam pit for practicing bike stunts.
· The ramp for attempting the forward momentum double backflip was 20 feet.
· 12-time Monster Jam World Champion, Tom Meents, attempted 3 stoppie/nose wheelies before he needed to let the truck cool down and the fluids balance back out in the truck before finally achieving the record.
· Tom Meents quote of the episode, “A thousand things could go wrong, but only one thing can go right.”
