quicklist: 2title: 'We're No Different as a Monster Truck Team Than Soccer. But Safer'text: At 3 years old, KJ Olson-Weston had already spent his fair share of time riding Powerwheels and ATVs. His "vision" was to drive a Monster Truck, and so his parents spent more than $50,000 to have a custom made Monster Truck built for him. At 11 feet long and 3,000 pounds, it's roughly half the size of an adult Monster Truck. It fits KJ's frame, but it packs a serious punch, enough so that three years after his parents had it built, KJ joined with the Monster X Tour as the youngest professional driver ever.

The Olson-Westons were criticized for allowing their now 8-year-old son to operate a Monster Truck professionally, but KJ's parents stuck strongly to the belief that with all the safety measures inside the truck, it was safer than other extreme sports, or even some traditional sports.

"We're no different as a Monster Truck team than soccer. But safer, I think," Tod Olson-Weston said.

The family now tours the country as Team Kid KJ. KJ's younger brother, Jake, 7, also drives his own truck, and they are recruiting and picking up new families and kids to join the team as they go along.
