Monster Truck Throwdown presents “JOYRIDE”, a monster truck film coming Fall 2016

Joyride - A Monster Truck Throwdown Film

The following is a press release from our friends at Monster Truck Throwdown about an exciting new Monster Truck film:

 

ATTICA, INDIANA – June 2, 2016 – After rave reviews of 2014’s film “Throw Down For What?” the Michigan based Monster Truck Throwdown Team plans to release a new film titled “JOYRIDE” – available in both hard copy and digital release in the late Fall of 2016.
“JOYRIDE” will feature unique filming locations such as the Badland Off Road Park, the woods of Maine, and salvage yards and gravel pits throughout Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina, and Alberta.

“We want to depict monster trucks how we vision them. Outside of the track and into the elements,” stated Monster Truck Throwdown Executive Producer, Elliott Miller. “The planning stage has truly been a team effort with the visions of many. We’re excited to bring monster trucks to life and into people’s homes to be enjoyed, over and over again.” he added.

“JOYRIDE” will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Jim Koehler and Avenger with never before seen footage from the personal collection of the Koehler Family along with some very rare nostalgic monster truck action from the early 90’s, courtesy of Perrin Motorsports.

“We’re looking forward to capturing the action with truly spectacular views using new techniques to bring our viewers a whole new look at the (monster truck) industry.” said Director of Cinematography, Kyle Carr.

Filming has started this week in Indiana. Look for more information to be released on “JOYRIDE” in the coming months.
