Dapper's Ride to Fame



Wow! So I just drove a real live monster truck!!!! Man, all I can say is WOW!!!
Such a rush...
I took a drive with Ron Leach, the event coordinator for the Monster Truck Thunder Slam here in Abilene. Get this, I am sitting in the drivers seat and he says to me, "Don't press on the gas too hard, you will go straight through the windshield." I am like okay. He then replies, "Don't press too hard on the brake, you will go right through the windshield." I am like okay, what the heck do I do???

well I drove that truck! That's what I did and I even drove over some crushed cars!!
Boy, was I pumped after! Another case of an adrenaline rush. I live for that feeling.
I love extreme sports in any fashion and i have jumped out of a plane twice...
and this experience was right up there. Props to the monster truck drivers, it is way harder than it looks!

check out my ride:
