The 2014 4-Wheel Jamboree season was a special one for the XDP Monster Truck Team, with the 2013 4-Wheel Jamboree Freestyle Championship Title under his belt, Dave Radzierez just had to continue pushing the limits. Thinking and dreaming about what can be done next, Dave and the XDP Monster Truck Team set out to achieve something that is only done by the most elite and daring drivers in the monster truck world, a back flip!

As any true performer would, Dave wanted to put on a show on the largest stages across the country. For him, this meant the 4-Wheel Jamboree Series with events in Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Dave considers these his "World Finals", as each of these events brings in thousands of spectators that fill the grand stands for each and every Monster Truck Show throughout the weekend. Planned as the "Grand Finale", the XDP Diesel Monster Truck was scheduled to make the back flip attempt each Sunday at the closing of the final Monster Truck show.  Dave was successful on all three of his back flip attempts. Unfortunately, at the Jamboree in Bloomsburg, PA, Dave's hometown, the truck suffered catastrophic engine failure during Saturday nights Drag Racing, leaving the truck sidelined for Sunday's attempt.

Here are a few words from Dave:

“While I've always pushed my limits, I've never attempted anything like this before. With no previous practice, I was amazed that I knew exactly where I was and what was going on the entire time. I have to thank Michelle for all her support! Any doubts I had, Michelle (while nervous herself) encouraged me through them. Thanks to all of our Fans that came out to support us in 2014. We look forward to seeing everyone next year!”
