5.02.2012  Thanks to all of our friends, family and hometown fans who came out to Puyallup show. It was an amazing show with a great lineup of trucks. Tyler for the second show in a row would end his freestyle with only two tires inflated. The crew is now getting the trucks back to 100% for the summer shows. Make sure to check our schedule often as we are adding shows all the time. Hope to see everyone at a show this summer.

4.04.2012  It was great to see everyone at the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas. The twins signs hundreds or autographs and got to meet so many new fans. Travis did a great job first quarter drving the wheels off of Captain USA. He sat in the hot seat at 3 of the 4 stadium shows and would win his first monster jam event in Nampa, ID.  

12.28.2011     Travis and Tyler have been working hard in the shop getting the trucks ready for the 2012 season. Both trucks will start the year off in Tacoma, Wa for Monster Jam. Both trucks are getting tons of upgrades, including Racesource Spindles, Ouverson Axle shafts, and PEI split pinion shield. Trenton has been cutting tires for two weeks and they are looking very good. The team has also been working on the trailer, adding more storage, building racks on the walls and adding interior and exterior lights. We also added 3 Warn Winches to make loading easier.

The Redmond show in 2010 was the very first show for Double Trouble. Travis would experience his first roll-over in Captain USA during freestyle friday night. The next month we will spend tearing the trucks apart and getting them ready for 2012. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in 2011. We cant wait to see you all again in 2012.
