Hot Tamale in Charlotte where he landed nearly upside down and crushed the roll cage.

Van Loo in '91 at OKC when he plastered the wall was a heck of a lick.

Chuckie in monster mutt at vegas either time was a tough lick as well.

Hercules and Bigfoot in Columbus(?) in '88 - the double roll - was certainly spectacular.

Max D in indy '04 should be higher, that was a scary one to watch live.

KK in myrtle should be #1

King Krunch - TNT Pueblo 1988 (I think it was Pueblo...racing against Stomper he didn't just roll, he had a wreck that wouldn't look out of place at a show today)

Pam Vaters in Boogie Van in Pontiac during the jumping contest hitting the wall, knocking out the lexan, and 3(?) wheels.

I thought Equalizer's Richmond crash was 89'. (I could be and probably am wrong, so sorry). But I think King Kong's crash is number 1 and USA-1 in Richmond 90' should be in the top 20 at least. Just my opinion, maybe we should separate the crashes from old school to now cause we all know that we are probably going to see a few trucks go over. Back then, it was a big deal when Rod Litzau would roll USA-1 over. Just my opinion, I'm not trying to offend anyone here. My apologies if I did.

also, is there a difference between "spectacular" and um...i dunno how to word it....just ...hard hit....play on words... probably not much, but enough to cause variations on opinion on the order.

King Kong at mertyle beach shoudl be #1 far and away...i think that is the general concenous of most of us... tom's indy crash in 04 should be much higher cause the whole truck flexed. look at the vid, the truck flattened out when it landed.

hot tamalie in charlotte is the only one of these ive seen live and i was screaming...and as i think most of you know, im quite reserved at shows unless someone is blocking my view.

theres also avenger in indy 06 when he lost both rear wheels at once. has that ever happended at any other time that a truck has lots 2 wheels at the same time in the history of monster trucks?

i dont know if tom barrel rolling onto the dumpster in atlanta this year was all that spectacular...but it was kinda funny...

Vaters wedged the truck upside down between 2 guards rails at motormile speedway...not really spectacular either but a nice phot opportunity...
charlie taking out a pole on MOM?

dennis barrel rolling into a pole at VMS. I saw that one and a video surfaced on youtube and im sure LN has that one in their vault specially since they were supposed to be filming it for tv highlights...or so i heard but who knows.

Anyone have photos/video of this Max D Atlanta 2004 crash? I had Speed back then, but could not catch many episodes and don't recall seeing it.

If I'm not mistaken, she broke some ribs in that crash.
