Am I A Florida Man Now?!

Came for Drift Night at the #FreedomFactory, but stayed to go full Florida Man with my bro ‪@CleetusM‬ at an EPIC pool party!!

[@BrianWilliams009]

If only more people would help kids these days, the world would be a better place. Good of you Vaughn!! Helping to keep the next generation off the streets and out of trouble.

[@wdcrobertl]

First Drifting at AdamLZ, then Certified Flordia Man stuff at the Freedom Factory? You don't just talk about being a fun-haver lol.

[@nunyabinis]

If we could only get Finnegan to move to Florida with his boats and hot rods....the youtube world would love it!

[@ArmyVet1776]

Cleetus, LZ, Vaughn, AND Finnegan? I wouldn't want to live in any other state!

[@Axial32]

Finnegan is in Georgia isn't he? That might as well be Florida

[@ArmyVet1776]

Who would have thought you would ever see air boats tandem drifting? 😂🤘🏻 REAL Florida man!

[@Takeuhchance]

Imagine a legend like Vaughn casually walking up to your car , introducing himself (as if you don’t already know who he is) as he continues to complement your car and asks you questions about it!! Bet that dude with the new edge was feeling super good after that!

[@didtheyexpectustotreatthem574]

hell yeah...

[@thefunniestfarm4731]

Imagine being Cleetus with John Force's fingerprints seared on his turbo. Cleetus better never wash that spot.

[@redwalsh87]

Absolutely and it's a Mach 1 too!

[@SuperKrispy]

So we teammates now or what????? time to wrap and coyote swap the taurus hahahaha Had so mush fun and was such a pleasure meeting you Vaughn!!!!!!

[@Preludis]

The motion video made me think I was on a crazy acid trip. Time for a better camera Vaughn? 😂

[@blake6403]

Big fan! Enjoy the Freedom Factory content and support for Cleetus.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@anthonyestevez118]

Vaughn, you have taught Cleetus well. He's becoming a pretty good drifter! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGwflow]

This man is so down to earth even with the manufacturer sponsors this is why I love this man

[@young11984]

10:42 i thought that guy just destroyed his shin. Awesome to see little man ripping it with Vaughn but that home built Taurus was bad ass

[@CrowsDescend]

The 14 year old drifts so good! he's gonna be pro

[@hughchisolm3613]

Your a good dude I love how your taking the kid under your wing.. he did great. I am very impressed 👏

[@i-_-am-_-g1467]

Vaughn i think your camera is set to 30 frames per second dude, as you're moving the camera things are being stretched because of the framerate Instead of 1080p 30fps try reduce to 720p 60fps for better smoothness *edit* look at 7:24 you waving your arm and it looking a slideshow that's a perfect example of reduced framerate :) Loving your content either way man just hope you'll take this little tip into consideration for the ultimate viewing

[@VaughnGittinJr]

Thank you!

[@edwardk6764]

No bro, Vaughn is blurry in real life. He is always hauling ass. Lol

[@jacobrousseau3821]

Also don't worry about filming or exporting into 4k.. 1080p 60fps is perfect.

[@vanclyde]

30fps isn't the problem, it's that somewhere along the line it's recorded/exported in 1080i and then processed to 1080p

[@thelazypirate5997]

@@vanclyde inclined to agree, especially if multiple different camera sources used as it appears, and the issue is present throughout.

[@thefunniestfarm4731]

HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!!! You are a Florida Man now! You showing up to drift night at the Freedom Factory is like Dale Earnhardt or Richard Petty showing up to the Freedom 500!!!

[@cbanks5678]

Thats a nice little beamer the kid has...and good on you for being a mentor and helping the kid out

[@LimitWHK]

Cleat talking about the lack of rubbish makes me feel proud and I live in New Zealand lol

[@vintagekyoshodotcom]

Damn Cleetus needs to get a Mustang with a rad coyote

[@MaryJane-qc6pb]

Cleetus has grown so much as drifter. I think huge thanks goes to you! Super nice that you have been filming. Great videos. Some video and audio issue, but nice to watch. I have 1 request. Can you do high speed backwards entry on some video, just for fun

[@MaryJane-qc6pb]

BTW. That speed and G force gauge could be nice add for drifting parts. Perhaps explain, when you weight 100kg / 220lbs and you was doing almost 2G it means you weight 200kg / 440lbs at the moment. How do you manage those forces and so on

[@spunkysandoval]

You are a freaking legend! Thanks for sharing the fun with us working stiffs (edit: just realized my avatar is a pic of you I took way back at the drifting world championship in long beach)

[@WarrantyVoids]

Pool tapn’ n fun havin!!! LOVED IT!

[@craigjordan2926]

Loved this video Vaughn. I am sure fun having events like this make everyone a better driver enjoying yourselves but still giving to the fans.

[@jonhorskey4600]

Vaughn out here pushing the grassroots! I grew up in NJ and was super close to Raceway park and all the grassroots with club loose and all those boys. Grassroots is so instrumental to not only growth but to sustain a pro league like d1. Prolly costs Vaughn 10k to run the rig and cars for drift night and the weekend. Keep doing what you do brother and keep the colabs up, so sick to see like minded people connect!

[@General-G]

Certified Florida man ripper! Great video Vaughan you're a legend!!

[@DJIPHANTOMPILOT]

I didn't know that iPhone cameras had a late 90's filter setting

[@spaxxor]

I think that's youtube's own reprocessing that's mangling something. I manually set it to 1080p and the wiggle stopped.

[@daemn42]

@@spaxxor No this isn't KZbin's fault. It looks like somewhere during conversion before upload it either got interlacing added (that's pretty 90's), or there was a frame rate mismatch which caused the video editor to add interpolated frames which show up as severe ghosting every time the scene in front of the camera is moving fast.

[@jacobl6714]

That rx-7 really yanks my handbrake E> I absolutely love any jdm car that sounds like it's about to enter a demolition derby. Hug chug chug wub hug wub chub wug chub chug lol and the livery on that e36 is just beautiful

[@bradcowart5044]

Great video Vaughn! Awesome to see everyone out having fun! Great job mentoring !

[@gwbuilder5779]

Vaughn, you are definitely getting the idea!😅 But, ya gotta get yer feet wet!🤣😅😆🤪👍🤙👌🇺🇸 Awesome to see you working with Reese to help him tighten up his skills. In snow country they call that winter driving. 😆

[@MaryJane-qc6pb]

How about building "Reese needs more power site!" That 14 year old kid has lot of potential. Lot of practice and i belive that he will be the youngest DK

[@jacobl6714]

Hell yeah. Ireland has connor shanahan, who I think will follow james deane to be world champ in a few years, but I'd love to see him and this kid shred together. I can just imagine how that conversation would go at home, his mom saying "he needs someone his own age to play with!" rofl And instead of those stupid "my kid is an honor student" bumper stickers that people have on their cars a lot, I much prefer the "My 14 year old son can out-drift most adult men" lol

[@captaincouldverc]

Great driving Reese! You're a talented and lucky young man. Can't wait to watch you progress in the sport.

[@rjaybruhh]

*_Man this looked so much fun on video. I can't imagine how fun this was IRL. This is definitely squad goals._*

[@yfi62dortoh]

Seeing that mud truck was hilarious knowing it’s fate to whistling diesel

[@anthonyestevez118]

Vaughn, we all know how big of a racing celebrity you are, but for you to go take the time to do this is, AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!

[@didtheyexpectustotreatthem574]

you have to make time for fans and other car guys, otherwise the car industry dies... the EPA is on a massive collision course with car peeps.. its gunna get real ugly

[@rustyjeep9783]

Im so glad you go to the FF and all your Bronco videos are cool 2...

[@hondaryderz]

you guys always put on one hell of a show! hope to see it in person one day

[@rskrzz6233]

Very very cool video, very down to earth. Definitely the way to build a KZbin channel. #Teamfunhaver

[@paulshark8370]

the best party iv Seen all covid ha shout out all the way from Liverpool uk

[@Cazaisawesome]

I’m not gonna lie man seeing the cars drifting under a shelf cloud like that was wild. From 13:00 onward I wish the cameraman was in the opposite side of the track for that haha

[@ArmyVet1776]

I've been saying for the last 6 months or so that FL has become a new found haven of freedom!

[@Baddeal]

The fox is definitely my favorite of your fleet even though it is the most simple.

[@mysteryy234]

Freedom factory on the formula D circuit! Gotta make it happen

[@ryanemigh1942]

Get Reese hooked up with Chelsea since he is the BMW daddy!

[@thetruestein2530]

You know from growing up in Maryland that Dundalk Man and Cecil County Man are second cousins to Florida Man. Rhys is going to be leading/chasing you around FD in a few years, kid's already got some great skills and couldn't ask for a better mentor!

[@FlashBang979]

Would love to see what you would do to a sn95 New Edge and if you would sell RTR parts for New Edge owners like me.

[@dcfools2890]

Dang that Ford Taurus is sick so unique

[@age.1998]

these guys are awesome

[@Mr_jz_12]

that taurus is fucking awesome.

[@rustyjeep9783]

The guy with the taurus shows how average ppl ROCK....

[@MX304]

If your actual home state starts with North, you can never be a full Florida man. LOL Just messin' with you. I think you earned the title a long time ago.

[@tiddiesprinkles]

Hell yeah loving the longer videos

[@nunya2814]

Ford 5.0s, new and old are damn near builtproof! All the mustangs ive owned had em, the one i beat the worst was in an 89 f150, ran out of oil 3 times at over 140000, never a knock or tick after, sold that truck and the 2nd owner after i sold it had over 230000 on it and had only replaced a rear end, 5.0s are beasts!

[@VaughnGittinJr]

They really are!

Florida Man Approved

[@BDJones055]

Bro you all have to check the capture settings on your camera. There's no way this is 4k. It's compressed af. Loving the content though .Keep killing it!

[@simonmillar9161]

Vaughan could you and your man Jase do a walk around of his FC looks interesting build

[@bigdfitness5020]

Damn, drifting with a professional driver at 14 yers old in his own car. I wish I had such an awesome dad. My dad wouldn't even let me buy my own car with my own money or get my license until I was 18, wven though he let me join the Army when I was 17.

[@JustTex]

if using vegas to edit, I would suggest for editor to ' disable resample' in the switches and it should get rid of the bluring insome of these clips. But i'm no expert. Cheers

[@corystansbury]

Optimized, 600? I'd hope a bunch more than that... RPM laying down 660+ rwhp on heads/cam LS7s. This is spinning 1000 RPM higher with a solid roller and massive intake.
