Which Monster Truck Did a Front Flip?

In 2010, a monster truck made history when it successfully completed a front flip. The accomplishment was made by the world famous Grave Digger driven by the legendary driver, Carl “The King” Edwards.

The stunt took place at the Monster Jam World Finals XI held at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. In preparation for the stunt, Grave Digger was specially modified and outfitted with specialized safety equipment to help minimize potential injuries in the event of a crash.

To pull off the amazing feat, four massive ramps were set up in a row on the track. The Grave Digger had to power up all four ramps consecutively to gain enough speed and momentum for the flip to be successful. After hitting each ramp hard and with perfect timing, Carl was able to send his truck into an incredible front flip that left everyone watching amazed.

The crowd erupted when they saw what they had just witnessed and Carl had officially become one of the most daring drivers in monster truck history. Despite some minor bumps and bruises from his historic jump, Carl walked away from the event as a champion and with a greater appreciation for monster truck stunts.

Since then, no other monster truck has been able to repeat what Carl Edwards accomplished that day. It remains one of the most impressive stunts ever seen at a Monster Jam event and it solidified Grave Digger’s status as one of the most iconic trucks in all of motorsports.

Conclusion: Grave Digger driven by Carl “The King” Edwards was the first monster truck ever to successfully complete a front flip stunt during Monster Jam World Finals XI held at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada back in 2010.
