Ride with a Monster Jam truck: 360 video

Racing fans, rejoice! USA TODAY is giving you an exclusive 360-degree look at what it’s like to drive a 10,000 lb. Monster Jam truck.

Join Chad Fortune, driver of Soldier Fortune, as he flies through the air in pursuit of Monster Jam’s FS1 Championship series.

“It’s very physical,” Fortune said. “You’re jumping Monster trucks, not a Cadillac, so you really feel every hit.”

Monster Jam is a live motorsport event tour operated by Feld Entertainment. The series features drivers competing in both monster truck racing and freestyle competitions.

“There’s a lot of pressure out there. You have 70,000 people watching you, so you try to keep yourself at a calm, but you can’t help it, because you feel like a superhero,” Fortune said.

USA TODAY spent time with Monster Jam crews in Atlanta and Indianapolis. The Soldier Fortune team helped rig one of USA TODAY’s specialized 360-degree camera rigs to their monster truck.

So grab your VR headset and hop in the driver's seat; it’s going to be a wild ride.
