Backstage at Monster Jam 2018 in Cleveland

Monster Jam, the monster truck rally that descends on the Q each year, turns the arena floor into a racetrack by dumping truckloads of dirt and building a series of jumps and obstacles. At approximately 12 feet tall and 12 feet wide, Monster Jam trucks sit atop 66-inch-tall tires that allow the trucks to roll over just about anything. The trucks can even fly up to 125 to 130 feet in distance. This year's event takes place at 1 and 7 p.m. tomorrow and at 1 and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, but the Q is already set up and ready to go. Earlier today, we toured the facility and checked out a couple of the trucks.
