Insane 1st episode thanks guys

[@_louisianna2912]

I’m not angry I’m disappointed 😢

[@4west7]

The best Finke telecast/production /broadcast/episode! But seriously....... Talk about a cliff hanger 😁😁😁😁

[@bjwnz5273]

Apart from the great Team set up and race this year you've produced what I think is your best video production to date! Looking forward to part 2 🙂

[@Jacobyoung296]

Love Justin talking through the video makes you feel a lot more involved in his experience, in cab footage is wicked

[@hawks_hammers2858]

Bloody Hell, What an Ending.

[@Big_Red_Wade]

"Wtf just happened" you did a rolly polly lol, Great vid guys

[@minimumchipz7683]

THE END!! great run, twins smashed it!

[@richardwehipeihana8154]

Say it with me, BundoooMma. Lol. Your team did seriously well this year. Finke is our life in Alice Springs and I have to blow your horn a bit. This so far is the best finke content bar none that I have ever watched. It's amazing the footage that is out there in the spectator world.

[@BrunoFerreira-si4vm]

Loving the colour scheme guys 👌👌💪💪

[@robertgieseke8174]

Outstanding gentlemen much love from New Orleans La USA

[@davidrobertson1775]

This could be the best footage I have seen of Finke. I'm a motorcycle guy, but this was truly awesome.

[@Dayforitaus]

You must be incredibly proud of what you’ve accomplished so far in your life, not only for yourself and family, but all the people you employ! Epic! 💪🏼

[@unknown33]

Leave me on a cliffhanger like that!?!

[@MidgetPunter]

I guarantee that cliffhanger has you primed and ready for the video of day 2 to be released!

[@zingerbox4198]

You know there’s finke results ? 😂

[@lesflynn4455]

That set up is looking real hungry mate, good luck getting it upright.

[@davidvanbreda9056]

[@user-sp8tr2ti1e]

What a gold ending to an episode!. The twins just send it love it. The ending tho.

[@8628rudeboy]

You done yourself a mischief there mate.

[@Taithland]

I feel like you're a gear high a lot of the time. Rev that puppy!!

[@SOP1986]

Great drive always got next year

[@mitchbarden17]

Justin you can’t leave us hanging like that 😬

[@ambroseb663]

Yea the boys👍🤙

[@chadgreniersr5808]

What a wicked video. Keep up the great work..from where I'm sitting on my couch, the only advice I can offer about how your truck is handling is, hold it to the floor and have a blast. That truck will handle all and more you can chuck at it : )

[@renedeboer7348]

you guy's this is a epic episode awsome job guys you guy s flying (the twin gogo ) what the f..uk happent justin you where going gr8 ( shit wanna no what the hell happent ) grrr love you guy's footage and filming top work

[@badhabitz5904]

No Way For Fs😭Thats a ending i did not see coming🤣

[@davidrichards8971]

U can't leave us hang like that 🤯

[@justinkhor3903]

Did anyone notice, Sarah said the exact same words when Justin had a bad lap. *It looked Good* and in the same tone of voice!

[@samsymes475]

Fine is a race between yourself and disappointment 🤙🏼 oh and if you would like to add a bike to the crew for next year I'll happily swing a leg over one for the team!!! Awesome prologue twins and clean driving juz! Sometimes overthinking slows you up enough to not kill the truck!!

[@saewolf1157]

Would love to see you guys down at the Sea Lake Mallee Rally if it ever runs again

[@rollthediceracing842]

Of courseeeeeeee

[@caseyellem-hw8kc]

The boys

[@Topmodd]

Don't take this the wrong way Justin, but 😂😂 that's the way to go mate, you guys were BRINGING IT what better way to go out, you will be much better equipped next year as you already paid for it this year, always do your best and your best years are always ahead of you mate...

[@PatriotGames]

Tough learning curve mate 👍

[@feisaloduuu1263]

Damnnnn😢😢😢😢

[@patclarke9375]

Don’t leave me hanging like that. I literally stayed up an hour past my bedtime and this is the cliffhanger you leave me on.

[@lomasck]

I must say these big Trucks are the fastest ones out there.I chased a Can Am buggy on my Raptor700 in Sand dunes & was left behind.

[@chadenham]

I was on edge this whole video. You just needed to hold on and focus just a little bit longer!

[@caseyellem-hw8kc]

I wish being u guys for years

[@caseyellem-hw8kc]

🎉

[@anbu999]

Higher driving seat position may give better view of the track.

[@omniversling]

"WTF Justin happened" 😉

[@justinkhor3903]

noooo the end flip!!!!!!

[@joesarrieto8434]

Do you guys race with the hens devices to protect your necks?

[@mxtt101]

NOT THE FLIP AT THE END

[@mickanon5607]

What's the running gear of 1088? I'm guessing a VQ25 with a 5 speed sequential box?

[@hhhydra2397]

Why don't you guys incorporate paddle shifters, this gives the twins easier to focus and handle.

[@kadmow]

Sure I have watched Patriot games - for a long while, but - is Justin a real race driver or "merely" an offroad enthusiast - willing to pay to play, rather than compete to win (control vs manage - business or hobby... Own vs Drive ??) ??. Small business, free enterprise - make your own future - what voice... - ... your own - ..- roar good guys, roar... Of course champions are BUILT NOT BOUGHT. lol. get going.

[@Duster-bb7qt]

What is the name of the intro song??

[@daledeonarine9811]

FINKE ANY DAY..

[@daledeonarine9811]

GO HARD..RUGGED OR NOTINGH..

[@dionmastro6563]

Nahh no way 😭

[@tbrowniscool]

The footage at 6:40 anyone else think it needs a faster steering rack? maybe 20% more? Seemed sluggish

[@caseyellem-hw8kc]

U always have to do better then what your dad did go boys but love the old man

[@davidrichards8971]

Can u put a camera on the truck and go go live so we can see the whole race don't know if you can do it but could you if you can maybe live on Instagram to so we can see you do the whole race

[@_louisianna2912]

Maybe not a live because then there wouldn’t be any point of an episode like this.

[@PatriotGames]

haha the media guys have enough stress just hoping the cameras make it to the end of the race. I don't think they could handle the stress of a live setup 😂

[@maakamakana7007]

only watched the first truck race so far, and the guy feeling down about it...the sons were smooth, calm, co-ordinated, almost one pace all the way...Dad was abit hesitant, and the truck seemed to bound to much for my liking..your loose time bounding, and you nearly stopped near the end at the banked wall...if you could be as relaxed when driving as you are when talking in the video sitting in the workshop, you would do better in my opinion

[@evanurch158]

Noooooooooooo😮😢 not a roll over 😢

[@TheOldFellasTravels]

Nooooooooooooooooo

[@mo3thm781]

first comment

[@markhellema8847]
