WEIGHING 10,000lbs, this colossal Monster Truck is not for the faint-hearted. Meet ‘Fluffy’ – the stunt-performing powerhouse that boasts more than 1,400hp. Proud owner, Kevin King, recently fired up the big engine and managed to jump over a fire truck and TWO police cars in his latest trick. Kevin has become one of the most well-known independent drivers in the Monster Truck Industry. Drawing a big crowd at one of his events in Waycross, Georgia, Kevin wanted to pay tribute to their local services – and thankfully, no one was left disappointed. Kevin told Ridiculous Rides: “This truck, it’s a beast. It’s a race vehicle. So it’s really not a matter of if it breaks – it’s just when and how bad. With the stunt, we wanted to show our support for those guys, to salute our first responders. It landed real good and I was happy with it.” ‘Fluffy’ is powered by an impressive Chevy 565 engine. And Kevin is more than used to handling this sort of vehicle – known for his work with ‘Fluffy’ and another truck called ‘Strait Jacket’. “I’ve been doing this for so long now,” he said. “When we get into the truck, when we put that helmet on, there’s really no thought process. If you’re thinking about it all, you’re going to screw up. It’s just what we do.” And when discussing the name ‘Fluffy’, Kevin added: “A Monster Truck called ‘Fluffy’? “It’s like the manliest, toughest name in Monster Trucks!”

00:00 The truck is a beast. The stunt that we're attempting today, there's a million things
00:05 that could go wrong. It's a race vehicle, so it's really not a matter of if it breaks,
00:09 it's when and how bad.
00:10 Can you hear me?
00:11 Yeah.
00:12 Thank you all for coming. We're getting fired up here in a minute and have some fun.
00:27 In Waycross, Georgia, local celebrity Kevin King hosts a mega monster party centered around
00:34 the star vehicle.
00:36 This is our Fluffy Monster Truck.
00:38 Fluffy for a monster truck?
00:41 A monster truck called Fluffy. It's like the most manliest, toughest name in monster trucks.
00:47 Today Kevin and his gang are attempting a huge stunt in order to honor their local emergency
00:53 services.
00:55 The stunt that we're attempting today is we have a fire truck and a police car. We're
01:03 planning on flying this 10,000 pound truck over the top of them.
01:07 So this is where the fun begins.
01:11 The truck is powered by a Chevy 565 engine, giving it a whopping 1,400 horsepower.
01:16 We're trying to show our support for those guys, a salute to our first responders, and
01:23 that's where we did this special body. We always do something crazy at this event.
01:29 This stunt sure is wild and full of risk.
01:33 There is a million things that could go wrong in this particular stunt. If the truck dies,
01:37 if the truck shuts off or spits and sputters and crashes into a fire truck, that would
01:42 not be cool. We could break a wheel off, we could crash, we could blow a motor up. It's
01:47 a race vehicle, so it's really not a matter of if it breaks, it's just when and how bad.
01:52 We prepare the truck the best we can and hope for the best.
01:57 I've been doing this for so long. When we get in the truck, when we put that helmet
02:01 on, there's really no thought process. If you're thinking about it, you're going to
02:06 screw up. It's all what you know, it's what we do.
02:10 Nothing left but to go for it. How will this monster manage?

03:00 The truck is a beast. It sucked it right up, it did what it did, it landed really good.
03:05 I was happy with it.
03:10 I love monster trucks because it symbolizes America. There ain't nothing better than a
03:14 good old monster truck show.
