At Monster Jam shows, monster trucks face off in two different forms of competition - Racing and Freestyle. In the smaller shows they have a wheelie competition and / or a donut contest. The goal in the wheelie competition is to hit a ramp and get big air while remaining perpendicular to the ground.
In the donut competition a driver tries to spin their truck until he/she gets dizzy, the truck can't go any more, or they think they have a high enough score to win. Side-by-side racing is traditional heads-up tournament racing, where the first truck to cross the finish line moves onto the next round until it is eliminated or wins the racing trophy by winning the Championship race.
The freestyle competition allows drivers two minutes on an open floor to show off their skills as they drive the trucks over cars, and doing stunts and tricks with their trucks. The freestyle winner is determined by 6 judges each giving a score out of 10. The high and the low scores are dropped that the fans gave. The max score is 40. There are two winners from both events, however if the same person that won racing that night also won freestyle that night then they get the biggest trophy, next to the world finals trophy, the Double Down trophy, named after the Double Down activities in Las Vegas at the Monster Jam World Finals.
The series is sanctioned under the umbrella of the United States Hot Rod Association (USHRA) and takes place primarily in the United States. Although individual event formats can vary greatly based on the "intermission" entertainment, the main attraction is always the racing and freestyle competitions by monster trucks.
Monster Jam shows are held throughout the whole year with more shows during the winter than the summer, and travel around the country in U.S. and Canada. Shows are also being held in other locations around the world, such as Canada, Europe, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica, The Philippines, Saudi Arabia and recently Japan.

Eric Sheridan Prydz, perhaps Sweden's most recognizable electro/dance DJs and producer has a reputation as one of the most epic live acts currently working the circuit due to his expert merging of high quality music with surrealistic visuals.
It is also worth noting that Prydz has remixed material by some of the world's most celebrated artists including Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and Pet Shop Boys. His all-consuming stage design illuminates and the waiting crowds explode in cheers of excitement. Taking his place proudly behind the decks, the party kicks in as Eric drops some of his own most loved tracks as the screens and lights begin showing fire, thunder and lightning.
Eric Prydz is now one of the world’s most in demand underground spinners and producers.
Prydz was the only artist every to be given permission to sample Pink Floyd.
Prydz is perhaps best known for his 2004 hit single "Call on Me", which samples the Steve Winwood hit "Valerie". It topped the UK singles chart for five weeks and was number one on the German Top 100 for six consecutive weeks. Although this track made him immensely popular, Eric has stopped playing it in his shows in an attempt to distance himself from it. In some respects he has succeeded, and with his newer songs, Eric has gained recognition from both underground and mainstream fans. In 2006, he released a remixed version of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2", titled "Proper Education", with a video.
Eric just got done touring Australia, playing in India for the first time ever and was relaxing in Germany in 2017. He is in American's Bayou City this weekend.
Although he is not performing at Ultra Music Festival this year, he will be in Miami that week and will do a Pryda performance at Club Space, which was already sold out on March 25th.
