Ok, So I went to Jump Mania today with my dad and little brother.
Boy oh Boy.. what a ****ing waste of dollars.
It was at the superdome (which isn't massive, in fact pretty pissy) and of the 3 hrs we were there, there was at least 40mins of intervals. The rest of the time dudes came out on 50cc mini bikes and drove in a circle, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground, 4 dudes on motocross bikes put on a decent show for about 30mins in total, 3 little mini monster trucks drove in circles (again, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground) and the big monster trucks came out and drove in circles... oh, and at the end, these trucks jumped on some cars...
The wining points;
- Truckosaurous (or whatever its name was) - oh man, i wanted to die!! Ten mins before this comes out, they push out a shitty old VN commodore into the arena. The lights go out, the lasers start, the (get this!!) jurassic park music starts and out comes TRUCKOSAof tUROUS. Truckosaurous drives over to the VN, clamps onto its roof and lifts it off. He makes it look so easy! It looks like the roof might be... IT IS!! The roof has been PRE CUT! So the ****ing thing just grabs it and lifts it off... Then (and this was the exciting part, especially with the jurassic park music and lasers) it drives back and forth over a 40ft area for about 10mins and then retires out the back while people are booing... the VN is then pushed off the arena, and that was truckosaurous... give me a ****ing break!
- The Motorcross dudes. Ok, so these guys were pretty good, but get this, one of them does a jump in the first 10 mins and runs straight into the wall...
- The Mini Monster Trucks. Ripper, when these things weren't jumping a whole 3 feet in the air, they were limping off after ROLLING onto their roofs!! Top work! Of 3 of these retarded things, 1 remained runing at the end. There were bits of them and fuel/oil all over the place..
- The real Monster Trucks ok, so they cost $270k, they wiegh 7 tonnes, they have 1500HP chevs... but really, they can drive in circles as much as they want, but its kinda boring... no, wait! one of them broke down TWICE and the 2nd time had to get towed off... now thats kinda exciting...
- The Mini Bikes - the most exciting thing was when a guy tried a backflip and landed on his head....
Guys, I was almost counting the minutes... it really ****ing sucked.
Then, we have a massive ****ing hail storm...
