From the roar of the fans to jaw-dropping stunts by expert drivers, Monster Jam is a high-energy celebration of adrenaline, skill, and, of course, extremely cool trucks. This weekend you can catch the thrills at the Ball Arena in Denver.
The show begins with a race in which the massive trucks compete head-to-head. The next few events are heart-pumping spectacles where the crowd determines the winners. Two-Wheel Event is a crowd favorite, where drivers showcase their skill by performing gravity-defying stunts.
Then there’s the Freestyle Competition, a highlight where drivers are given free rein to show off their coolest tricks—often pushing their trucks to their limits. The entire show is unexpected, unscripted, and unforgettable!
Ashley Sanford, a driver for Monster Jam, says, “You never know what you’re going to get. Drivers may be trying new stunts, so there’s a chance to see things never performed before.”
Sanford drives the Megalodon—a 12,000-pound prehistoric shark truck. As a California girl and huge beach-lover, Sanford says it felt special to be paired with the vehicle. Sanford grew up attending Monster Truck shows and as a young girl, she wondered what it would be like to be behind the wheel. She got the chance to find out when she joined Monster Jam as a competitor in 2023.
Monster Jam is for all ages, Sanford says. “It gets everyone’s hearts pumping–I’ve seen grandmas and four-year-olds with jaws dropped.”
For young fans dreaming of becoming Monster Jam drivers, Sanford has some advice: “Go for it! Stay persistent, believe in yourself, and put in the work. You can do anything you set your mind to!”
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Monster Jam or attending your first event, one thing is for sure: It’s an unforgettable experience. With breathtaking stunts, high-speed races, and trucks that are as unique as the drivers behind them, Monster Jam offers a thrill for fans of all ages. So grab your tickets, bring the whole family, and get ready to let your inner child loose at this high-powered event. You never know what spectacular stunt might be next!
