Snake Venom "The best of Snake Bite"

[TheNikkiMazz]

OH FUCK YEA, MONSTER TRUCKS.

[icemanj12]

Snake Bite is a part of the Bigfoot operation. The original Snakebite (pre tube chassis) was actually Bigfoot #4

[HTownCountryFan]

what's the name of the song in the video?

[nolangreen]

song is very fitting

[xboxd83]

haha i used to have this on VHS

[codymo32791]

2:33-2:46 was filmed in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio. I actually went to that event. I don't remeber it since I was about 2.

[MrAvenger2]

man if you were to ask me a question about the first monster truck at the top of my head it is the legendary Snakebite

[Codie666]

i miss the old days of MT's

[rolliesserpent]

Snake Bite is a Ford its is a team Bigfoot Truck all of the Bigfoot trucks are Ford

[9751asd]

the song at the start is jake the snake roberts theme

[thedominobby]

is that a ford?

[cadillacman028]

the redish orange and lime green paint combination is the best looking out of all the paint schemes that snake bite has had and that painted quad bed bar is awsome

[SpacemanFan1988]

that is cool, but i think they need cars to crush just my opinon

[SpacemanFan1988]

was 3:28-3:45 an all dirt track, no crushed cars?

[dirtnation]

It was an Off Road track part of the U.S. Off Road Championship series. Me personaly I loved it when they did it in St Louis in 1998.

[icemanj12]

Right on the Money. I saw the U.S. Off Road Championship Series at the Pontiac Silverdome that year and they ran the same course.

[odin465]

I miss the old days Colt Cobra was THE DEVIL!

[Lobo8784]

I was there at 1:34-1:40.

[ralphiemayphan]

:54 was classic

[moukifan]

snake bite is the best,they should bring it back

[cpetit3]

So, Snake Bite was just another Bigfoot truck with a different body and attitude, or was it totally built differently?

[iacono1987]

was just a bigfoot truck with a differeny body and attitude, but after a while they dropped the attitude and it was just a body

[tomastabone16]

who is snake bites driva

[dirtnation]

IT just depends what year your talking about. IF you mean right now I believe Rick Long is driver when they run the body, but they haven't run in about a year or so.

[tomastabone16]

BACK THEN

[dirtnation]

Well there has been few who drive Snake Bite. Sky Hartly, Gene Patterson (really was Colt Cobra), Dan Rantue who I heard runned under the name of "Ricky Rattler", Eric Meager(also played Colt Cobra in 94).

[tomastabone16]

thanks thats great news for my bigfoot now and then project im doin the project i dont know why its not 4 college thanks

[bigfootbert]

Yes Runte did run as Rick Rattler cus i have the race he did in 93 from naples he lost to fred shafer in the 2nd round and got fast loser and came back to beat Ken Depie and Fred again to win the event

[whammydoom]

Jake Roberts theme, awesome.

[Dogman36]

6:21. the closest race in the video. wow

[saint925]

i think snakebite looks better with the green body

[netgear132]

i wish bigfoot was still around i like to see him beat max d

[dirtnation]

Don't you mean still able to race in USHRA

[Welshmonster87]

What happened ?

[brock3439]

everyone knows that jean patterson was the original colt cobra right

[musicman3005]

@brock3439 snake bite drivers were dan runte gene patterson eric megar n i think thats all of em if im not mistaken

[eishiba10]

@musicman3005 was dan or gene the first driver?

[LiquidatorLad88]

why disposable heros? snake bite is cmpletly indipensable awesome work

[viper90988]

i would love to see him race Grave Digger

[mikey8fingers]

The snake bite body on Bigfoot #4 my opinion always bad luck

[icpfan19]

do you have a video of bearfoot when it was red.white

[ferbicus]

It's funny I was watching an old video I had, and Rick Rattler was Dan Runte...haha.... And Colt Cobra was Eric Megher...

[mikey8fingers]

my opinion Bigfoot #4 and the snake bite body every time always a wreck or a flip ! ! !

[jtugfestiva]

@mikey8fingers yups that was bigfoot 4 with a hybrid suspension. It was always updated and this was the latest update of it. it had nitrogen shocks with coil springs. I dont know if a new engine was installed but it wasnt bad for being a 20+ year old chassis.

[sprintcarchamp]

Whatever happened to this truck?

[dirtnation]

Snake Bite has a new body design and its kick ass.

[sprintcarchamp]

You have any pics?

[mikey8fingers]

Snake bite was Bigfoot #4 and #8 when they first started running it after the deal with hot wheels was over they ran it green on various bigfoot trucks, then it went to candy apple red color - hit bigfoots webpage u'll see what im talking about . . .

[DesertRacer75]

BTW, what was that race at the 7:35 - 7:53 with all those monster trucks racing on what looks like to me, a pro-stadium truck course? I've never seen that race before, and it looks sick! Is there anymore footage of that somewhere?

[DesertRacer75]

Nice vid! I always thought Snakebite was awesome, ever since I was a little kid.

[bentdowns]

i just wish the bigfoot team would be back in monster jam =[

[dirtnation]

Yeah be worth seeing Bigfoot beating Max D, and Grave Digger every week on tv.

[Dogman36]

certainly

[Trogbob]

LOL! dont get cocky ppl... although that would be fun.

[drok169]

the snake is the shit! long live colt cobra!

[Dogman36]

MX style racing? gee, i didn't think they had it for the monsters. what stadium was the MX in?

[71m07hySm17h]

They don't, they just had the monsters race on a Stadium Off-Road track for Inside Monster Jam from 1997-1998 on ESPN2. The stadium was in San Diego.

[Junkie133343]

hey what songs is this and who is it by? btw, this a pretty cool video man

[DiggerFanJSB]

The song is "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica.

[Junkie133343]

[RealityChequed]

Loose the shit sound track. I wanna hear the roar of the engine. moron!

[Dogman36]

the ushra and PENDA series both in the 90's

[sanddragracer]

[Muthafacko2]

1991 penda Series, USA Motor Sports

[ShotCaller724]

[dirtnation]

Yeah I have alot of IMJ stuff, I'll put some in my other videos coming up...

[sanddragracer]

hey what vare you working onnow because i think that if you can fid enough old footage of american guardian that would make a great vid

[dwp139]

One of the first concept trucks...I always loved the look. The Bigfoot team now went back to the red style Snake Bite, and it looks awesome.

[Mistertbones]

Dan Runte drove Snake Bite under the Ricky Rattler name.

[sanddragracer]

what chassis did it start on. and what video are you working on now

[jetmonkeyj]

I'm pretty sure it started on bigfoot 4.

[bigdigger25]

do u know when was the first ever show of snake bite

[rampage7777]

sweet snake bite was always my favorite truck on the penda series

[CaptianUnbeatable]

Thank you. Snake Bite was one of my favorite trucks. It's a shame they don't utilize it much anymore.

[MrJoe53]

Awesome video...like the Jake the snake music at the video intro.
