You got that right. Even in the midst of being terrified George finds a way to be funny.

Georges long pause, and then very subdued “how bout now”. There’s something special about watching friendships evolve. That was a hell of a moment

[@Mgp-Rc]

I would be Cleet's wingman for ANYTHING in a second!

[@TreachourusJdogg]

One of my personal favorite aspects of this channel has been watching the growth of the friendship between Cleet and George. True ride or dies.

[@EthelJung-j5w]

Driving fast and taking chances is what this boy is all about. Do it for Dale is going to be do it for Cleetus. Jet boats, dragsters is one thing, airplanes and helicopters defines reality. Everything crashes at some point. Especially when your looking for views. God Speed Cleet.

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

. I think Garrett takes over when he flies and Cleeter stays on the ground. You notice he has a completely different attitude in the sky and keeps his aircraft in perfect(ie safe) condition. He doesn't fly sketchy shit like he drives/boats with.

[@tincandavexr4ti783]

I’ve been down Howard’s Plunge on an inflatable kayak. It’s far more impressive to go up it in a mini jet boat. Props to this effort.

[@Kiki-Kauai]

You can see how much Cleetus loves Squirrel when he instinctively puts the dad arm out for him. And you can see Squirrels complete faith in Cleetus, as he gets right back in beside him for the next adventure.

[@broonysaint]

The power of true friendship, shown right here!

[@TMANN1]

Made me smile 😊

[@boejiden1065]

It’s wholesome and all but there are many stories of friends dying together doing stuff like this. I just hope nobody gets hurt trying to entertain us.

Ride or die😮

[@Chr1st1ansen10]

Cleetus forgot for a second that this is not the jet boat/submarine from James Bond.

[@Prohortico]

My old eccentric boss always had a harbour craft jetboat. One Monday I came to work at his farm, and he showed me his leg, it was totally swollen and purple… he was racing around a corner in the river and a tree speared his boat, went right through the aluminum hull and got him in the leg. He’s soooo lucky to have his leg, let alone still be alive - his boat looked like it was shot by a canon, but was lucky to be punctured above the water line, he drove it home! Be careful Cleetus!

[@bryanm3433]

Cleet deserves a lot of credit. After that, his FIRST reaction was to make sure George was ok. Love this, fellas. This is the bond that has built this channel to where it is. Cheers.

[@--_DJ_--]

And to give him the option to bail on attempt 2.

[@Caboosewa]

Yeah because George’s wife would kill Cleet 😅

As someone who'd been rafting/floating Idaho rivers for 40+ years (I've done that very rapid in a 14' Aire CAT and a 12' R2 round-boat several times). Idaho is on a whole different level in terms of White Water. I know the Payette VERY well... I almost drowned there too several years ago and Walt Blackadar died there decades ago on a different fork of the same river. I love that area. Spent many many summers there with my best friends floating everything we could and exploring every hot springs we could find.
