Legendary BIGFOOT driver Jim Kramer has done just about everything imaginable with monster trucks, but one of his most unique stunts was to do the "tire walk" on the massive BIGFOOT #5! Jim would start in the cab, let the truck idle in gear, get out, drop to the ground, ride the tire back up to the top, walk around the entire body and then get back in the cab and drive away. As icing on the cake, Jim did a sled pull around almost the entire inside of the old Seattle Kingdome.

Those wheels really seem more of a novelty than anything. Still cool to watch. Those old Ford bodies with that metallic deep blue sure are something else.
Those are snow train wheels.
It pretty much was a novelty. Hell, monster trucks in general are a novelty, and this one is a novelty of novelties.
@Jeremy Backman no. A US army vehicle for moving heavy loads through Alaska
@@kellypg was for the leturano snow train for getting supplys up to alaska or at least for the time they had used it before they found other means, bob found the tires in a junkyard and bought them all I belive

Saw this truck in person when I was a little kid in the early 90's, walked under it. I think a shorter dude could walk under the differentials without hitting his head, the sheer scale of this truck was epic. It was twice as tall as the other monster trucks, I remember the driver doing the same "ghost riding" stunt later in the show as well.

The tire walk, one of the great automotive stunts of all time
Bigfoot 5 was always one of my favorites because of those enormous tires. Glad I was a kid in the 80's and got to grow up watching the genesis of monster truck racing.
Me too I use to go to a monster truck show every year at the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit and there was a monster truck show in Ontario called twin creeks they would have monster trucks on year and tractor pulls the next year and use to go to them every year as a kid I saw so many cool things as a kid in the 80's. I wish I could go back and do it all again.
Monster truck jams....muscle cars.... classic heavy metal....big hair....all time favourite fashions 80s was the best ❤️
As old as this footage is, it's still impressive to see that something like this was created. Amazingly, no one else has accomplished this feat since.
Without BigFoot We wouldn't have Monster Trucks
Awesome! I grew up in St. Louis during the 80's. Home of Bigfoot. Been to the Bigfoot museum in Hazelwood several times. This brings back good memories.
Bigfoot is my favorite monster truck ever
I remember having a VHS tape with nothing but big foot. I was like 4 years old
Had the same tape. Loved it as a kid
@@meanodustino9563 As did I! I wore that tape flat out
I love the showmanship!
Its a pleasure to see all the classic 80's ford bronko tow trucks and the flatbeds.
HOW COOL would it have been to have Jim Kramer's job, back when all of this stuff was still in the development / creation stage??
Jim Kramer, first man to ever ghost ride the whip.
You guys should really put that body style back on 5. I love that thing.
I know who has that original body on the truck His name is Eli Mann on Facebook He also owns Bigfoot #3 and 1s old cab
0:10 Does the slow roll up, flashbulbs goin off, people absolutely losin' their minds. Awesome.
Iikh
Nothing beats a classic
The monster truck of all monster trucks
That yellow and green Dodge was money dude!
I remember seeing the OG Bigfoot at a show as a kid back in the early 80's and thought it was the coolest truck ever then they built Bigfoot 5 and that was crazy it made the OG Bigfoot look like a regular truck. I loved it back then because they were real truck bodies on those trucks unlike today when they are fiberglass or carbon fiber bodies around a steel cage and chassis
Thanks to my uncle I've had the pleasure of standing beside those tires when I was a kid in the '80s!
Fun fact: Bigfoot was the first ever Monster Truck built pefore Monster Jam was formed!
It was the first ever built period
What an awesome truck!!! 10 feet tall tundra tyres!!! The 80s was the best decade for so many things.
The 80's was such a great decade.
Hell yeah great boomboxes, music, radios, computers, technology. Everything looked and sounded so badass. Quality made with style.
@@KandiKlover Proud 80's Baby ! l,mao
Bigfoot, Arnold, Stallone, Hulk Hogan, music was high energy fun. Everything felt a little bigger.
Same as any other decade in my opinion... well obviously different, but we didn't see it any different back then.
@@KandiKlover Yep especially the great quality and much more powerful, louder home and car stereo systems in the 80's.
this monster truck are so big, that's hard to drive, respect bro
Those were fun days.
is

So thats were ghost riding the whip come from lol.. That was dope👍👍
H ell yeah
Yeah millennials think they're so original, they're just copycats and don't even realize it
Now that's what I'd expect Bigfoot to look like!!!!
Am I the only one who wants to see Bigfoot go muddling?

He’s ghostriding that whip
That looks like the truck they used in the Bigfoot arcade game for Nintendo. I miss and love that game.
Truly the original badass.
I want monster jam to bring Back Bigfoot that truck would give us so much nostalgia
Bigfoot tours with hot wheels monster trucks live.
Bigfoot would have to give up ownership of the truck
i like your video it was awesome and it was coll big foot
The 80's ruled!
I got to see that truck in person at a truck pull in Pontiac, MI. I remember my dad taking me to the old Pontiac Silverdome for the event as a birthday present. It was incredible to see live!
Man I sure miss them days of truck pulls ,my favorite 2wd truck was Orange blossom 👍🏾👍🏾
Kingdome in Seattle WA... I grew up watching the Mariners and Seahawks as well as monster trucks in this stadium... Good times to be a kid..
But ugly as sin lol
Jimmy Kramer was fearless!
Quick somebody build a time machine and drop me off in the 80s. I want to go back.
Such a great truck. I'm glad it's still here!
Remember when I was seven year's old brings back memories
This thing is pulling a 6 pack of beer the 80s is the best
That’s where you goofed Ye gotta focus when driving that otherwise you’ll GOOF
Y
Big Foot and Grave Digger. those were the days
Grave digger was my favorite one
What about max d
Knightwolf 248 max d wasn’t invented in the 1980’s
DIN NER Grave Digger
@@knightwolf2489 he's cool but I haven't seen him in a while
The wonderful excess days of the 1970s and 80s with those massive V8s. Do they still hold these events now?
I was there. He said they call that gear, chug. He could have pulled that sled all over down town. Hot Stuff jeep was there and if I remember right, beat Jim racing. Jeff Bainter is a friend of mine and one of the best. Jim is probably my favorite original truck drivers
Who else was n the Bigfoot fanclub in the 80s???
This came to my home town 4 years ago and I remember standing in the tires with VIP access and they are sooo big
80's monster truck is the best.
When I was a kid I would call every monster truck “Bigfoot truck” 🥲
THE TIRES ARE BIGGER THAT THE TRUCK!!!!!!!!!! Good gracious!!
Man, monster trucks have come a long way in the past 35 years
Man them tires are big as heck!
Bob, the first mfer to ghost ride a whip.
Ghost riding the whip started a long time earlier then I realised!
The fact that the announcer comments on the 470 cubic inch engine shows you just how old this video is. 470 cubic inch is child's play by today's standards
My god Bigfoot was my favorite when I was little
How many bodies did bigfoot 5 have? I've never seen it with the late 70s body on it, mostly the mid 80s style body or 87+ body. Oh and yeah... Jim Kramer put on a show! I'm sure nowadays sanctioning bodies would allow such a cool show!!
I stood under that truck with the late 80s early 90s body equipped. It's freaking huge
This isn't a cage with body. This is an actual solid body truck.
@@vonjager When he opens the door it looks like the stock truck interior/bench seat, whore house red inside lol.
There’s a video on YT that has Bob Chandler on it. He goes through the entire BF fleet and talks about each of them. If I remember right, this truck was one of the last BF’s to feature a modified factory truck frame. I think 6 was the first one to feature the custom built, tube chassis design. Could be wrong though, just telling it as I remember it.
@@aaronbays4 it is stock grew up with this truck lived next door to it the body is stock the tires come from a wwII vehicle called the arctic train
I live 3 minutes from where the Silverdome use to be all my life. I still remember being 3 or 4 driving my Big Foot power wheel. wanting to be like the real Big Foot and it was for reasons like this
I also lived by there. As a kid we would always go to the monster truck shows. Even if you didn’t go you could still hear it because the Silverdome acted like a big speaker. I ended up working there when I was 15 years old. It’s a shame what they did with that stadium
This is awesome
Me encantan los carros soy muy fan agan más videos de estos
Talk about dangerous. He misses a jump and that thing crushes him
That’s why they don’t do stunts with it
Gotta love a ford big block!
Being a kid in the 80s was the best.
Thanks for sharing.
That was pretty cool
I love this truck. The biggest tires I have ever seen on a truck!!!!
Back when it was popular I had a road legal 78 GMC Side Step with 1200 20" split rims off an 18 wheeler on it (42" or 44" tall) but only 8" wide, I had it licensed as heavy truck :) ......... AND I still own the bigfoot " 4X4X4 " owners choice license plates too ... but the truck is long gone :(
That is ridiculously awesome
dam I miss those days at the silver dome ..... best entertainment for 15 bucks oh hell yeah LOL
Looks better with the body over the tires, rather than way low when it first came out.👍🏻👍🏻
Super awesome. I have a picture from my sister and I were little.sitting in the rim of the OG Bigfoot
The amount of power needed to turn those big wheels. And a very strong drive train.
It has several gear reductions A transmission chain to the transfer case The transfer case And the planetary hubs
so f'ing dangerous lol. gotta love the 80's.
Made men outta boys👍
Bigfoot 5 was also shown with 4 dual tires, but I only found one video of maybe two seconds showing it moving. :-)
This is proof everything including Monster Trucks was better in the 80's!
My child hood hero
Ahh the good ol days, all the health and safety nutters would be losing their shit if this went on today. Monster jam participants are strapped in tighter than a feckin astronaut busting through the atmosphere haha.
You wouldn't be saying that if you were the one strapped in
Yeah, god forbid they make sure nobody dies
*Bursting
Well, Grave Digger doing a back flip is still impressive, even if the driver is strapped in his seat.
3X the speed though. They need it.
Nice video truck monster 👍😁
And when you get home, you have to take a broom stick and pick the smart cars out of the treads.
lol nice
Those wheels can *CRUSH!*
The father of all bigfoot😂
I wonder how many people dont know that back then these actually were pickup trucks. Today they're all just tube rollcage frame overgrown quads with fiberglass bodies...
Crazystuffyousee True. Very true.
The thing that I loved when watching these trucks as a kid is when the monster trucks were done they had the mud drags with all kinds of weird creations. The paddle tires just made the mud buggies and jeeps look cooler. :)
I sat in the wheel of that truck and got the dude autograph
In my opinion Bigfoot is the best truck of all time not just because its the original but now I'm a huge fan of of the next best in my opinion grave digger
I suspect many people were conceived the same nights as monster truck shows in the 80s.
I remember getting my picture taken with my standing inside the rims of that down in Indiana
Little late to the party, but I have a picture of myself in the rims when it was shown at tri state speedway in haubstadt indiana.
"Inches by hour"... but is brutal and beautiful.
Good old days...
Have this on VHS still lol
thats BIG BOI
I miss the 80's, damn it
Ah the good ol days when everybody enjoyed Motorsports
Big Foot, Hulk Hogan, and Ghostbusters! Those were the 1980s!!!!
Damn... I've never seen tires this big!!
DAM LOVE THAT TRUCK I WANT ONE
Friggin Kramer knew how to do it.
Jim Kramer had no fear
THE BIGFOOT WOW THATS BIG
i pulled up infront of that once (I live near where it's parked) and then woke my kid up....I'm just fulfilling my fatherly duties.
Where is located
@@magicelkiller Pacific MO, Near St. Louis.
That’s crazy this one is actually a real truck
