ORLANDO, Fla. — Monster Jam is bringing an all-new freestyle team event to Orlando this summer.
Monster Jam Freestyle Mania will take over Kia Center on Saturday, Aug. 8, and Sunday, Aug. 9, giving fans a new kind of live motorsports experience that pairs Monster Jam trucks with freestyle motocross bikes.
The event will feature Monster Jam trucks and FMX riders teaming up for a high-energy competition with racing, tricks, jumps, backflips and fan scoring.
Organizers said the Orlando event will include eight teams competing across five total competitions. Monster Jam trucks will compete in Racing, 2 Wheel Skills and Freestyle, while FMX bikes will compete in Best Whip and Best Trick.
Fans will be able to score the athletes in real time based on their skills, stunts and saves, helping crown the Team Event Champion.
The Orlando lineup is expected to include teams based on some of Monster Jam’s most popular trucks, including Grave Digger, El Toro Loco, Sparkle Smash, JCB DIGatron, Megalodon and Zombie.
El Toro Loco is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026.
The competition will also include a sibling rivalry, with Brandan Tulachka and Mikayla Tulachka competing against each other for the Orlando event championship.
