Monster Fun At Freestyle Jam at Nassau Colisseum

The kids, Eli and Leo, jumped up and down and roared, and so did the massive Monster Trucks we got to see over the weekend at Nassau Coliseum for the "Monster Jam Freestyle Mania." We all had a blast, me included. I'd put the whole thing down in the "good, clean fun" category. Nice seats, fair ticket price ($15 per kid + the onerous charges of course), started on time, matinee. Definitely kept everyone entertained. Plus, Flushing, Queen's Chinatown is on the way.

We got to see Sampson; Rap Attach, whose driver must have drawn the lucky straw at the drivers' pre-show meeting for the obligatory flip over; the Avenger; Grave Digger (every rally has to have a Grave Digger, the clear fan favorite); and Spider-Man.

In between the Monster Truck jumps and donuts, the Freestyle Jam showed off a truly amazing group of moto bikers, who did pirouettes and flips over a 50 foot-span jump; BMX bikers who also did flips and spins; and a trio of motorcyclists who did wheelie tricks.

Two very entertaining hours which I'd be happy to do again.
