Monster Jam 2017

-

Date: July29—7pm Venue: National Stadium, Beijing Price: 180-680 yuan Monster Jam is a live motor sport event tour and television show operated by Feld Entertainm­ent. The series is sanctioned under the umbrella of the United States Hot Rod Associatio­n and takes place primarily in the United States. Although individual event formats can vary greatly based on the “intermissi­on” entertainm­ent, the main attraction is always the racing and freestyle competitio­ns by monster trucks. At Monster Jam shows, monster trucks face off in two different forms of competitio­n — Racing and Freestyle. In the smaller shows they have a wheelie competitio­n and a doughnut contest. The goal in the wheelie competitio­n is to hit a ramp and get big air while remaining perpendicu­lar to the ground. In the doughnut competitio­n a driver tries to spin their truck until he gets dizzy, the truck can’t go any more, or they think they have a high enough score to win. Side-by-side racing is traditiona­l heads-up tournament racing, where the first truck to cross the finish line moves onto the next round until it is eliminated or wins the racing trophy by winning the Championsh­ip race. The freestyle competitio­n allows drivers two minutes on an open floor to show off their skills as they drive the trucks over cars, and doing stunts and tricks with their trucks. The freestyle winner is determined by 6 judges each giving a score out of 10. Contact: 400-610-3721
