Updated | By Noxolo Miya
Monster Jam's Blake Granger and his fellow stars have made a Durban boy and his friends' day by surprising them at their BMX track.
The popular show's humongous trucks rolled into Moses Mabhida Stadium last Saturday, treating enthusiasts to a roaring, action-packed spectacular.
Seven-year-old Michael Gibbs was one of the scores of monster truck fans in the crowd.
He even got the chance to meet some of his heroes and invited the drivers to come to see him BMX race in Queensburgh the following day.
Blake Granger and the gang showed up on Sunday to Michael's delight.
"Thank you, Blake for coming to South Africa to do Monster Jam, you are my favourite truck driver and also thank you for coming to BMX."
Michael's father Richard says the children were ecstatic to be with the monster truck stars.
"It was amazing to see the excitement on all the kids' faces when the Monster Truck drivers arrived at the Queensburgh BMX track.
"All the kids were just in awe when they saw four of the favourite drivers that they had watched race the previous night."
