There have been mixed reviews on the monster truck event that took place in Northam on Saturday night.
About 2000 people attended the The Great Monster Showdown at the Avon Valley Speedway that was run by company Ultimate Monster Action Pty Ltd.
The event started smoothly with swarms of families positioning themselves on the stadium, ready for an action-packed night.
Co-producer and guest MC Adam Brand used the loudspeaker to run the show and encouraged the the crowd to cheer and chant.
Monster trucks rolled on to the dirt track and performed impressive jumps, rolled over old cars and took attendees on rides during the show.
About 30 minutes into the event the freestyle motocross riders started doing impressive tricks off a jump which garnered a huge response from the crowd.
One rider starting seconds before another and landed the jump.
The other followed closely behind and came off his motorbike when attempting to land.
Paramedics came shortly after the accident and treated the man at the scene before he was taken to hospital.
The motocross stunts did not continue but the show went on.
See the full story in this week's Avon Valley and Wheatbelt Advocate that comes out on Wednesday.
