Dennis, I have attached several pictures of Black Stallion stuck in the remains of the mud hole at the Burlington Jamboree. I figured you would appreciate them. The only thing that I have done is resized the pics. If you need full size files to clean up or load on to your site let me know and I can send them to you. The story is Mike broke the rear drive on the truck very early in his freestyle run on Sunday afternoon, so he tried the mudhole in front wheel drive only. He made the first pass carrying a lot of speed and looped around to come the other way in the hole. This time he did not have much speed and did not make it. After getting stuck Mike then exited the truck and did a back flip off the rear of the truck into the mud hole. The crowd went NUTS and he won the freestyle. We ran modified tough trucks and after seeing this we entered the field saying we were looking for some parts off the truck and snapped these pics. We see a lot of monster truck events and this was something we had never seen so we figured it was photoworthy. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work we really enjoy the site.
