He’s also the master of finding the dumbest/funniest thing to say at opportune moments, I think my nuts are up there, we need to do a couple of laps…. It’s a skill folks 😂😂😂

Okay, Let's all forgive George and his bad luck with the Blazer and commend this man for giving us the best videos and content on this channel. His reactions are the best!

[@--_DJ_--]

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

[@travelin_taco]

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

Cleetus , there was a book written about the guy who invented the Jet Boat. Its called " Up the Colorado river" or something like that. Inventor was in New Zealand back in the 70's .

[@hkguitar1984]

Super big Props to George for his iron grip on that phone, what an amazing run with two very best of friends. Awesome Brothers, congrats

[@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.

[@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 coolest thing watching this particular video for me is that I was headed back down toward Emmett/Boise from hauling asphalt to Cascade, I was coming around the corner as I seen the wedge trailer with the mini jet boats but only two were on the trailer. I was like “oh hell yeah that’s sick wonder where the dew boats at lol!” Next day I was in Horseshoe Bend headed up to cascade with another load of asphalt and seen all the boats on the trailer headed for Florida lol. Got a video of em and just thought it was the coolest damn thing! Congrats on the climb Cleet and Squirrel! 😎🤘

One of the reasons why I like this channel is because you can tell that Garrett genuinely cares a lot about people. When I grew up guys would try to hurt others and think it's hilarious.

[@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.

george is honestly a straight up legend for being a passenger in so many of cleets crazy and sometimes dangerous ideas, this moments takes the cake for sure holy shit you two are wild and hilarious =')

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.
