Win Monster Jam tickets!

Monster Jam madness is about to hit Australia in October, with the five-tonne trucks to perform in Brisbane, Melbourne (twice), Sydney and Adelaide between September 27 and October 18.

This will be Monster Jam's first true “tour” down under, following on from a successful one-off Sydney appearance in October, 2013 in front of 55,000 spectators.

To celebrate the tour, Bikesales is giving away a double pass to four shows, starting with Brisbane on September 27. To enter, visit the BIKESALES FACEBOOK PAGE
.

Once Brisbane is done and dusted, we'll then be giving away double passes for Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, so stay tuned.

Among the star Monster Jam performers in Australia are ‘Grave Digger',  ‘El Toro Loco', ‘Max-D',  and ‘Madusa'. The custom-built trucks cost $250,000 each, reach up to four metres tall and four metres wide, and are powered by octane-injected engines producing up to 2000hp.  They sit atop enormous hand-carved tyres that take 50 hours to cut and are more than 1.7m high. They can accelerate from 0-100km/h in under three seconds.

The bodies are genuine works of art, with airbrushed logos and creative paint jobs, and a host of appendages like the giant Mohawk atop the cab of Mohawk Warrior, or the midnight black, razor sharp teeth of the ferocious Monster Mutt Rottweiler.

Showtime features two sessions: racing, where trucks compete in head-to-head combat; and freestyle motocross.

Monster Jam tickets up for grabs!! You could win a double pass to the Brisbane show at the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre (7.00pm, September 27).

Just tell us in 25 words or less why you deserve a double pass to the most stupendous monster truck show on earth!
