The first ever backflip in a monster truck was done by Canadian stunt driver and freestyle motocross rider Cam McQueen. McQueen is well-known for his motocross stunts, but it was his daring backflip in a monster truck that made him an instant legend.
McQueen performed the backflip at the Monster Jam World Finals X in 2017. He was driving a truck called ‘Grave Digger’, which is owned and operated by the Feld Entertainment Group.
The feat required immense skill and courage as no one had ever attempted it before. McQueen took off from a ramp and flew over 40 feet in the air, making a perfect backflip before landing safely on both wheels.
The feat was quite remarkable considering that monster trucks are much heavier than regular vehicles. They weigh around 10,000 pounds and are about twice as tall as standard cars.
The suspension systems on these trucks are also designed to absorb large jumps, not flips. Despite this fact, McQueen managed to pull off the stunt without any major problems or injuries.
The success of the stunt made McQueen an instant celebrity within the stunt driving world, and he has since gone on to perform many more amazing feats with Grave Digger and other vehicles. He has also become an ambassador for extreme sports and is often seen attending events such as Monster Jam World Finals X to promote safe driving practices among aspiring stunt drivers.
Conclusion:
Cam McQueen achieved legendary status when he performed the first ever backflip in a monster truck at Monster Jam World Finals X in 2017. He defied all odds by successfully completing this dangerous stunt without any major issues or injuries, making him an instant celebrity within the stunt driving world.
