Who would have thought that we would need to come half way around the world to go to something so American??? While we were in Abu Dhabi, the first ever Monster Truck Jam in the middle east was there. We have never taken the kids to one of these back home, so decided to go. We even got the pit party passes where you go up close to the trucks before the show.
During the competition, Chase and Bobby rooted for the Monster Energy truck. Unfortunately, in the semifinals, it had a malfunction and couldn't finish the competition.
The Los Toros Locos truck was driven by a female!! Natalie and I were rooting for her to win!
The show also includes a section of stunts from dirt bikes. These guys could do amazing tricks!!
It is rapidly becoming summer here in the middle east with temperatures reaching 113 degrees already somedays. We needed a shaved ice cool down in the shade during the pit party.
The monster truck show also has three team style races of quad bikes scattered during the show. The blue team vs. the white team. Avery had a blast sitting on all the quad bikes and talking to the nice drivers.
Avery rooted for Blue Thunder during the competition and was so proud to wave her flag all during the night.
Here are some pics of the actual competition. We were sitting pretty high up so they are a little out of focus.
Captain America was against Grave Digger in the finals so we were all rooting for Captain America....
In the end, Grave Digger was the winner!!!
The dirt bike stunts were AMAZING!!!
