Review
A record steeped in the traditions of New York City dance music, Monster Jam recalls Todd Terry on the title track and Salt-N-Pepa on "My Mind's Made Up," and dabbles in techno-acid on the theme-song "Ambassadors of Funk" and "Everybody," and even reins in some live alto and tenor saxes for "Just a Groove." ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi| Monster Jam (1982 Album by Spoonie Gee/Sequence) | |

Monster Jam is a live motorsport event tour and television show operated by Feld Entertainment.[1] The series is sanctioned under the umbrella of the United States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) and takes place primarily in the United States. Although individual event formats can vary greatly based on the "intermission" entertainment, the main attraction is always the racing and freestyle competitions by monster trucks.
== Monster Slam Jam is a motor truck show produced by Monster Jam. Monster Slam Jam Spectacular, on April 6, 1980, was the first Monster Slam Jam.

Licensing
Mattel's Hot Wheels brand produces officially licensed toy versions of monster trucks under the Monster Jam name. They also sponsored a monster truck, which competed in the series in previous years. However in 2008, the Hot Wheels truck was not on the circuit, replaced in the line up by Donkey Kong. But then in late 2011, Monster Jam announced a new Hot Wheels truck. The current driver of it is Dan Evans, and at the 2012 World Finals, Neil Elliot drove it in his Maximum Destruction chassis.
Four officially licensed Monster Jam video games have been produced. The first two, Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction, a vehicular combat game, and Monster 4x4: Masters of Metal, an arcade racing game, were published by Ubisoft. The third, titled simply Monster Jam, was released by Activision on November 13, 2007, and a sequel to it called Monster Jam: Urban Assault was released on October 28, 2008. There is now a 5th Monster Jam game called: Monster Jam: Path of Destruction containing favorites such as: Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, Grinder, Madusa, and Bounty Hunter. It has realistic stadiums and intros with pyrotechnics and roaring fans. You will also be able to create and customize a truck with over 1000 parts. This game was released on November 9, 2010 and since then has had mixed reviews about the game.
