ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Monster Jam<\/a> is bringing an all-new freestyle team event to Orlando this summer.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Fans will be able to score the athletes in real time based on their skills, stunts and saves, helping crown the Team Event Champion.<\/p>\n
