On April 19th 1991, the BIGFOOT team debuted the first 3-D character-bodied monster truck, “Snake Bite®”. Snake Bite featured a custom fiberglass front end that was shaped to look like a menacing snake. This afforded the BIGFOOT team the opportunity to campaign multiple vehicles at an event without using two identical-looking vehicles. The fanged monster also proved to be a merchandising powerhouse. Since the inception of Snake Bite, dozens of monster truck teams have copied the idea and developed 3-D bodies of their own.
These are some of the different looks that Snakebite has had over the years.
This video shows the 1991 debut of the Snakebite body (on Bigfoot #4) at the 6th Annual 4 Wheel and Off Road Jamboree Nationals at the Memphis Motorsports Park, Memphis TN, which was the first show of of the newly formed Penda points series.
