Life on the Road

What is the best and worst thing about being on the road every weekend with Monster Jam?
The best part about being in the road with Monster Jam is getting to see all the different cities and towns we get to visit as well with all of the great fans that come to all of our events. I don’t think there’s a worst part about being on the road with Monster Jam, but it is a bummer to be away from your friends and family on the weekends. I would say the worst part is not sleeping in your own bed.
