If you haven\u2019t heard about Freestyle Mania, it combines the best of Monster Jam and the best of Freestyle Motocross in an awesome team format with five thrilling competitions. Last weekend\u2019s action featured the Classroom Crusher, Megalodon, El Toro Loco, Grave Digger, Zombie, Sparkle Smash, Monster Mutt Dalmatian, and JCB DIGatron Monster Jam trucks as well as motorcycles themed to those same trucks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not only will get you get the traditional Monster Jam feel with JCB Racing, 2-Wheel Skills, and Freestyle but you will also see the FMX riders put on a show with the Best Trick and Best Upright Trick Competitions. Every driver and rider stays actively cheering on their respective teams which is on display with a behind-the-scenes camera that captures some fun moments during each competition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Freestyle Mania debuted late last year and became a permanent series this year which saw Monster Jam driver Weston Anderson and FMX rider Noah Bakken lead Team Grave Digger to the championship. For the first time, FMX riders took part in Monster Jam World Finals XXV which also saw Bakken claim another championship, this time sporting the Grave Digger Red Primer paint out on his motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Freestyle Mania Presented by Spin Master rides into Benchmark International Arena in Tampa this weekend and, if you are within driving distance, I highly recommend you grab your tickets and see this exciting event in person. If you can\u2019t physically be there, we will have you covered when we live stream all of the action on our Monster Jam YouTube channel. Either way grab your popcorn and get ready for some of the biggest stars in Monster Jam and the highest flyers in Freestyle Motocross to entertain you with Freestyle Mania Presented by Spin Master!<\/p>\n                          \n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n
