SLINGSHOT – THE MONSTER TRUCK RIDE!
SlingShot Monster Truck was owned, built and run by Karl Swallow and his family. Karl started the SlingShot adventures in 2003 when he decided to move forwards from street legal monster trucks to the real deal.
When SlingShot was first built it was running a petrol powered engine, which everyone said would never be able to compete against the blown methanol engines that everyone else was running. Slingshots first appearance was at the Pro-MT Race Event at Hop Farm, Kent in 2004 and in the 2005 European Monster Truck Racing Championship, Karl came third. SlingShot appeared in its first Monster Jam event in 2005 when Karl performed in front of 30,000 people at the Geldredome in Holland. However, Karl wanted to compete on a level playing field and so upgraded his equipment in 2006.
Now YOU can fulfill your dream of riding in a REAL Monster Truck – at THE GREAT NORTH WEST TRUCK SHOW!
Heya! Lucy here, AKA Louby Lou! the North West’s #1 female clown! For 25 years I’ve been spreading giggles, Joy and Fun all around the North West! The best part of being a clown is being able to witness smiling parents, giggling children and above all sharing and creating memories that will last a lifetime! Since the ripe old age of 6, I’ve been developing my skills within the entertainment business, following in my father’s footsteps, perfecting the recipe for the perfect celebration! It starts with a base of good old-fashioned clown skills, laced with a generous dose of modern Ibiza dance tunes and a dash of the unexpected! A true recipe for Excitement! And who knows, maybe one of my 3 wonderful girls will carry the Louby Lou Legacy!
Hy Yeah! Hey Yeah!
We are truly thrilled to have Louby Lou at the show for the first time!
Louby Lou is a favourite across the North West, having entertained children at parties, events, festivals and she even visits hospitals!
Louby Lou has a dance which we fully expect you ALL to learn and take part with! The BEST may even be in with a Trophy!
