‘Bigger, faster and louder than ever’
12,000-pound trucks will battle it out at high speed, racing each other and performing stunts
Little Francis Morgan-Buckmeyer is a big Monster Truck fan and dreams about seeing them in the metal.
The Vancouver youngster no longer needs to make do playing with his toy Zombie monster truck replica because he’s off to see the Monster Jam at the PNE Pacific Coliseum next weekend (March 2-4).
“I like Monster trucks because they’re big and fast and very noisy,” says Francis, almost four.
“I can go (this year) because I’m a big boy now and can cover my ears so they won’t hurt.”
And he’ll need those ear protectors because this year’s edition promises to be “bigger, faster and louder than ever before”.
A bunch of 12,000-pound trucks will battle it out, roaring at high speed, racing each other and performing awesome stunts along the way.
The truck lineup features World Finals Champions Grave Digger, MAX-D (driven by 11-time champ Tom Meents), Zombie driven by
Colt Stephens; the Vancouver debut appearance of the Team Hot Wheels truck, plus Wild Flower driven by the youngest ever female driver, 20-year-old Rosalee Ramer.
Francis learned about sharing this past year and that’s exactly what he plans to do by sharing in the excitement.
He has two pairs of Monster Jam tickets and passes for the pit party on Saturday afternoon to giveaway to two families.
