These photos can’t begin to come close to the stunt the driver of this Raminator pulled during the freestyle run at Saturday’s monster truck show, but we had to post them anyway because it was just so damn cool.

The driver’s doing a donut – a tight spin. Only you’ve never seen a monster truck do a spin like this, a spin that lasted nearly one full minute. The engine roared and the truck went round and round so fast on the fat tires that it nearly lifted off the ground. The crowd frickin’ loved this move. It was a show-stopper.

As an aside, this is the only truck that is supported by a manufacturer. Dodge sponsors the truck and driver, whereas just about every other monster truck you see is privately owned.
