Adrenaline-charged family fun is returning to Atlanta next weekend at Infinite Energy Arena! Monster Jam’s® Krysten Anderson, the first and only female Grave Digger® driver, joins this week’s Around Atlanta segment of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss the upcoming action-packed event with co-host Todd Schnick.
Created by Krysten’s father Dennis Anderson back in 1981, Grave Digger is one of the most decorated Monster Jam trucks in the world. Perfect for thrill-seeking families, the Monster Jam Triple-Threat Series features athletes in world-class vehicles racing and showing off freestyle tricks, donuts, wheelies and more. Athletes battle in three different vehicles (Monster Jam trucks, Monster Jam Speedsters and Monster Jam ATVs) to win the most points in competition groups – and fans award the points!
Each event tests the resourcefulness of the athletes as they push their machines to the limit. The point leader will receive an automatic bid to the cherished Monster Jam World Finals to compete for the World Champion title.
Events include:
Racing (Timed) – An obstacle course competition where the fastest to complete the course is the winner. It showcases the driver’s ability and the truck’s agility.
Two-Wheel Skills Challenge – Monster Jam drivers will have multiple opportunities to perform the best stunt, bringing at least two wheels into the air. This is a judged competition.
Donuts – Trucks perform in designated flat areas with the objective to rotate the truck as many times and as quickly as possible. This is a judged competition
Racing (Head-to-Head) – Competitors report to a starting line. On a green signal, the trucks head along a prescribed course to a finish line with first to legally complete the course advancing in the competition. Winners will advance until two trucks remain with the finals determining the racing champion. Racing may be preceded by qualifying to establish brackets.
Freestyle – Competitors perform tricks and stunts throughout the floor area in a designated time. This is a judged competition.
