Welcome to 4th Truck Backflips, the independent audio-only podcast dedicated to deep dives, modern analysis, and the rich history of monster trucks for fans by a near life long fan. Hosted by Michael King aka @reallymkpunk a lifelong fan with nearly 39 years of fandom, attending events for close to 35 years, and sitting in the stands for nearly 50 shows ranging from local grassroots events at dirt tracks and fairgrounds, to small arena shows to massive stadium spectalves and even a World Finals or two. This show cuts through the promotional fluff and the groupthink against the biggest promotions. Expect nothing but sharp technical breakdowns, race analysis, freestyle disections, track design evaluations, and historical perspectives from someone who has lived and breathed the sport for decades as a fan who still dreams one day of getting behind the wheels of one of these goliaths.Copyright Michael King 政治・政府

  • 4TP Episode 4 - Is Monster Jam Destroying Monster Trucks
    2026/10/21
    If you scroll through online message boards or listen to purists, the narrative is always the same: Feld is a corporate machine homogenizing the sport, pricing out families, and stripping away its soul. But when you look at the entire industry under a microscope: from independent tours to the deep, messy history of monster trucks, the reality is far more complex.

    In this episode, we pit every major fan grievance against its historical, mechanical, and economic counterpoint. From independent body re-branding (like Brutus switching to Megalodon for Syracuse) to RII over-sensitivity, the death of real crush cars, ticket prices, spec engines, BKT tires, and the eternal debate over fan judging (Judge’s Zone vs. rigged applausometers), we leave no stone unturned.

    Welcome back to 4th Truck Backflips: the objective, fan-led watchdog podcast bringing technical accountability and real analysis back to the monster truck industry.

    ​In this episode, we break down the Houston, Texas stadium stop at NRG Stadium from top to bottom. We dissect a custom track layout modeled after the World Finals at Rice-Eccles Stadium that produced blistering 30+ second laps, look at Dalton Widner’s debut for Over Bored Motorsports, and trace Zack Garner debuting his brand-new chassis running under The Rod Ryan Show body.

    ​We tackle the major judging controversies of the night, calling out the double standards in officiating (comparing Tyler Menninga's saved run in Grave Digger to Chris Koehler’s strict disqualification last year over the exact same lip), break down the mechanics behind the pit carnage, and walk through every single run of a chaotic freestyle block. Plus, we talk driver pipelines, why Fernando Martinez belongs in stadiums for 2028, and look ahead to Syracuse.

    ​No fanboy filters. No excuses. Just pure, unvarnished monster truck analysis.

  • 4TP Episode 2: An Opus to TNT Motorsports: Never Before, Never Again
    2026/09/29
    This week's episode is a quick news update of the Fall Stadium Series before talking about my favorite monster truck series ever, TNT Motorsports.

    In this deep-dive historical retrospective, we unpack why TNT was the absolute peak of monster truck competition. We break down the brutal, high-stakes 1989 and 1990 points wars, the unforgiving technical tracks like the Houston Astrodome and the Louisville Motor Speedway figure-8, and how legendary announcers like Army Armstrong and Scott Douglass turned every up-and-comer into a made star.

    Plus, we look at the rise and ban of Bigfoot 8, the first RII killbox controversies, and why modern stadium track architecture and corporate consolidation mean we will never see an era like this again.

    No fanboy filters. No promotional fluff. Just pure, unvarnished monster truck history from someone who grew up watching Turnin' The Power On religiously and glazes TNT to this day.
