Really glad I bought a used boat and not a new one. Knew this would happen 😂
So, when is the Freedom Factory getting a jet boat course?
Cleetus is to water, as George is to asphalt. At least you didn't end up upside-down?
Damn brother talk about foreshadowing 😂😂. Great job bud
Krasher Wynn..... You're welcome
boatname: Son of a Beach
"I'm just glad my boy and the crowd was okay" that speaks volumes. Seriously glad everyone was okay though, as well as your self. Was great coming out and watching you compete and meeting you.
Im in Australia so watching it all on here ...... is it my imagination or is the crowd only getting rowdy when Cleet runs?
@@doogssmee9742 yeah that's pretty accurate
@@DailyElectrician With the following that Cleet has and the way he is going so far, what is going to happen with the sport in the future as his supporters follow him
@@doogssmee9742 they're gonna make more money lol
@@DailyElectrician For sure they will .... then more boats more tracks and more interest in sponsors for the boats ......
can we also get some props to zach for his awesome camera skills... stays panned on the boat the WHOLE time... lets go crew chief!!!!
The onboard footage is WILD! Those turns come up so fast 😮
It almost looks sped up on both 3rd and 1st person, I've gained a new respect for this type of sport, Never realized how fast it really was.
to cleetus: learn to relax for the second apex, gotta keep it wide, outside to inside, so as it slides you can turn more and make it hook in, if you are too narrow, you cant. good racing, love the motto. CRASH OR WIN!!! straightening out should be the most natural thing you want to relax back into in moments like blind corners
@@KooshiesElectronicsI used to rush home from school and watch this type of racing on Speed TV, and I was always stunned at how they react that fast, running a memorized course. It's very impressive.
@KooshiesElectronics now watch NZ jetsprints where these are C class boats and the Unlimited series are pulling 7gs in a turn.
Also Cleets boat is a Hamilton Jet built in NZ
This is 10x more intense than drag racing it’s wild man
The spinning wreck really showcases how quicky things can go bad in these races... That boat is so nice, but now Tye got some metal to beat tf out lol. And gotta go with "Dew it or Screw it" name for the boat 😆😆
"Dew or Die" could be a good alternative
@@dyentSome bad foreshadowing.. lol
aluminum but yep
"Just Dew it"
Cash or crash
The freedom factory needs a sprint boat track now 😂
That wouldn't be hard to do... probably less than 5 days with a dozer... keeping the gator speed bumps out on the other hand...
Good idea
@@kleetus92they’re not very deep if you haven’t noticed. A lap around it in a jet boat once a week will keep the gators out
It would solve needing to repair the turf.
@@chaseman113 lmao
Anyone else realize how quickly Garrett has turned into the new Ken Block? Super proud of our boy, he's come a long way since the turbo whistles in the exhaust
*Lawrence really has come far.
@@Trash-Castlelast time i checked he was called Garrett. Dont think that has changed.... Duh
@@Trash-Castle his names garret yaa tool
@@chainz186 His first name is actually Lawrence. But he uses Garrett which is his middle name. Only reason people learned his first name was when Cleetus has posted stuff to do with Law school. So technically both are correct. But it's weird to use the name Lawrence.
@@LimitR didnt know that, thx for the info. But since he calls himself Garrett everywhere and his friends call him that aswell, i think we just do that aswell :D
you know what you guys have to add to the wrap now: a win and a crash count on the side of the boat
This^^^^^
Yes
well then the whole boat will be wrapped in crash stickers 😂
call it wins and spins
Yes! 🤣
Now that Cleet owns his own boat, I see a track being built at the Factory.
I said that last video! When’s the excavator show up at the FF? They got enough land?
They've got plenty of land to do it with too. Being down in the swamps helps too, since they're pretty level with the water table and anything they dig is likely to fill itself in.
@@forgotn42it’s going to be shut down in a few years anyway.
🤡
@@forgotn42 I thought the same thing too but as someome previously mentioned you’d end up with gators in there and that could be a problem.
I seriously can’t comprehend how y’all know where you’re going, going that freaking fast. Those are insane! 🤙🏻
mostly about learning the overhead view of the track and knowing what to as far as skipping left/right sides. It is the same as having to learn a newspaper route in the dark only they are going 50-60 mph.
The driver isn’t memorizing the track. That’s why the crashes happen when a miscommunication happens.
Coplilot is in charge of remembering the course, the driver just has to follow the turn signals - there's no way your brain is gonna learn the course, keep track of it AND drive those boats at these kinds of speeds. As has been said, the crashes come when there's a miscommunication, having watched this racing live (in New Zealand, actually) the video doesn't do justice to just how fast they go, it's like watching an F1 car take a corner after a regular race car, just doesn't seem real
Ah na the boat was hitting small wakes when he had his foot in it causing the boat to become unstable thus overshooting the corner
And there’s people that do to faster and much smoother too
YPU DID A GREAT GUYS!..i think when the boat goes into a jerky turn it raises the rear runner out of the water letting you slide to much. need longer ones if you can. but your getting better all the time 👍👍
Gotta name her Lawn Dart at this point! Glad y’all are ok. Seeing your left leg get dragged up by that fence was terrifying.
I'm so glad for the roll cage front bars. If not for them their heads would take the impact and It wouldn't be pretty.
This man could build his own sprint boat track and sell out tickets, and get home practice.
The Crown Vic graveyard would be a nice spot!
I feel like that will happen in the future
I reckon thats a potential plan. All them everglades in Florida
Been saying that since he did the mud truck. Sprint boats and naturally swamp buggies.
After all, he’s a Florida Man!
This may not be that farfetched .... this could be something we see in the future forsure to perfect the craft from home
The more I get to see this from your POV, the more I am learning as someone who has been watching these things since I was a kid. That guy that is faster than you, has gotten to where he can breeze through the course, and he focuses on wake approach I bet, I'm sure of it. He's planning his wakes, he's planning how he turns into big rollers, etc.
Agreed just an experience thing he has more time behind it. In that guys mind he thinking about every move and the effects
Bigggg props to the roll cage. The giraffe duo almost got de-giraffed by that cable.
That’s what it’s for, it’s meant to catch the cage.
The agility of those boats are MIND BLOWING!
Yeah these boats can sure carve through the air like a fighter jet
Garrett was the reason for the safety meeting that day 🤣🤣🤣
Winnit or Binnit lol
@@bruizey7319 Oh, that is a good one.
Maybe should have paid attention instead of watching the Carbon Cub flying! haha
Love that the lesson was once the track "heats up" (Looses water) that the conditions change just like drag racing. So coool Thanks Garrett for showing us all a great little known sport!
Gotta give Spencer some credit remembering all the turns and stuff
Shiiiittttttt even just riding along!
I was gonna say just being crazy enough to ride with Cleetus going 125 percent😂
@@TheReaper42069Seriously, I would have no problems riding along with anything these boys pull, but this boat has me really second guessing.
@@otm646 only a little bit.
If it ain't broke ya not trying hard enough
Man we want to see this just as much as drag racing ….top level wheeling
Agreed! And the occasional crash seems likes it's almost safer in these. Almost.
Couldn’t agree more
Jet Sprint is a whole other levels than drag racing, that boat hauls ass but could probably stand to have some power pulled out of it and some more wedge in the pump. It's nervous AF on the turn transitions and crossing it's own slop.
@@riverdragonmarineservice441 I agree the boat just never looked settled especially after every turn, With that being said this is a new set up for them and going that fast and being competitive you need to have confidence and know your set up. A little practice and I’m sure they’ll be right on par again
@goosenotmaverick1156 definetly safer, and much less costly
The onboard camera gave me a better idea of how difficult this sport would be
I honestly had no idea about this sport until cleet got into it. Now I really enjoy watching it! Its cool that Cleet is bringing new life into other motorsports
Find a race near you and go it's way more fun
What a presence this guy must bring to these races. I bet every kid there will never forget seeing those wrecks, and I mean that in a good way. It's so cool to see someone race the fastest they can go, and brush up against danger. You can see that plain as day in his racing here. It's a rawness.
I remember going to the dirt track as a kid, and watching drivers make their way up front, with only three wheels on the track, passing inside and out if need be.
This was a good video, even more than usual.
Man puts on a show fr fr, every run you never know what to expect except that he's gonna be ripping it lol
Not trying to be melodramatic, but it was a little scary after watching the FP perspective. Had they been going much faster, they could have potentially been seriously injured or decapitated by the steel line in the fence...glad they're alright!
@@gotdangedcommiesitellyahwa6298 I agree. That boat closed in FAST. But I've watched worse wrecks happen to more seasoned drivers, so that pertains to the sports safety protocol itself more than it does his driving, I think.
@@sshlept8070 Yeah, that rollbar did its job, thankfully.
Honestly the only time I don't skip the ads/paid promotions are on a Cleetus video. The effort you guys put into the ad skits are hilarious and so appreciated.
Spencer is a legit co-pilot, every time you guys wiped out the first thing he says after confirming he is OK is, that was sick! I love that, makes me laugh every time. I'm glad both of you made it through the weekend injury free😮😅😅
without knowing exactly what I'm looking at with this boat racing stuff- I'm super impressed with the navigation.... we all know ole cleet knows how to floor it, but how the heck the navigator remembers the course is astonishing. well done.
Watches these races in person and still, I'm blown away how good a little boat can corner. Mind blowing G's
Ffw G,s yes...
The powerful jet sucks these boats against the water so they turn unlike anything. Lose that connection for a fraction of a second tho, and they end up in the fence.
In NZ where these boats are made in the unlimited class there pulling 7gs in a turn..
Can never say there’s a lack of commitment from Cleetus. So entertaining go boys!
This is the BEST TH-cam entertainment !! Love this guy he can do anything, you go boy from Sunny South Africa
A true humbling moment at the end there. Cleet is definitely in the dog house tonight 😂
The racers actually seem like a really good group
Ambition exceeding talent! Seriously though super impressive how Garret can get in anything and drive it fast from day 1. As he said he just needs more seat time to learn how to drive these boats on the edge without falling off the cliff.
The guy has a lot of experience with pushing the envelope, and it seems like he's most comfortable when he's doing exactly that
Not a talent issue, seat time issue yes....dudes first ever runs and he is top 4 in a finals round. Not a talent issue.
He finished 3rd his first ever race and won his second race and then 4th this event,dudes insane lol
learn to relax for the second apex, gotta keep it wide, outside to inside, so as it slides you can turn more and make it hook in, if you are too narrow, you cant. good racing, love the motto. CRASH OR WIN!!!
The way the Rollcage stopped the steel wire shows HOW IMPORTANT SAFTEY IS! That is a unreal POV! 17:40
Damn i hasn’t noticed before but it bent that cage bar down a little bit (you can see it if you look close during the outro)
Yea, without it they would have definitely not survived.
Wow totally. If that diagonal support bar wasn’t there this would be a totally different outcome.
Lucky he didn't break his leg too, I think those shin pads actually helped.
@@54raceman yep, for anyone else looking for this - at 20:22, follow left most edge of the Orange boat's GATEWAY graphic up to cleet's diagonal bar. The light reflecting off the outside of the bar makes it so you can see a decent line indent from where the wire hit.
i also love that spence is the guide on his crew. he dont race cars but cleet still fits him in. and hes doing great announcing and co piolot
yes i want more spicy spence!
he's a legend, does a bit behind the scenes
Pretty sure they already won a jet boat racing tournament together driving someone elses boat.
How epic would it be if the back 40 at the FF became a jetboat course
Yeah til one of the safety crew dragging the boats back into the water gets munched by a gator.
So I was watching the podcast with him and cooper and I can see that waiting until ffand Bradenton move east
Now you're on to something brother. 😂😂😂
@@CyberNut930Gators don't bother people to often they eat small prey Crocs are the ones you have to worry about
@CleetusM that was a gutsy effort from you and the brave gent navigating for the racing. Some pure 🔥 there mate. Loved it
Our local jet sprint track here in Australia has large hay bales in front of the fence as an extra measure to protect the competitors and the fans .
Bogangar Cabarita Beach ?
After him hitting the fence i bet next time they add something.
it would've done some good for both the fans and them. that fence really almost killed them... they stopped basically just in time
@@biglovebetterworldbetteryou Keith S.A
*... they need something. Cletus was three feet from being beheaded.*
Brother! I watched your video with Cooper. Love your ideas about big effort videos once a month, but please don't ever stop the regular vids! Absolutely love watching you guys working on the fleet and just messing around.
We don't mention Cooper on the Cleetus channel. He's a hasbeen nobody that's not worth anything to anyone.
I said the same thing on Coop's video.
Like driving the boat incredible performance just to go that fast. But Spencers ability to navigate is amazing i mean just memorizing the route is one thing but actually transfering the turns into reality is beyond anything i've seen before. Power duo!
It really amazes me that you guys are as fast as you are with as a little practice as you had you all put some time in this and some practice in it and you’ll be unstoppable way to kick ass guys
Seen this sort of thing live in New Zealand a lot and man, that was a decent rip into the fence. Natural talent though, keep it up! Can't wait tonsee you come over here and give it a go!
I just want to say that like many others I've gone down the TH-cam rabbit hole watching random motorsports and if it weren't for our boy Cleetus many of us wouldn't be here watching. I genuinely enjoy watching jet boat racing.
Yep, I remember watching a few years ago, but I don't know any of the drivers. Would be cool if they had a nice lady interview some of the leaders during some down time.
I really wanna see ole cleeter try out monster jam. The man can literally drive/fly anything. He just needs to put them together now.
Funny you say that...given he just drove a monster truck at the FF :)
@@SomeGuysGarage I was just thinking that lol. I just needed to put it out in the world
great venue , we have cliffs and serious rocks if we miss ,here in jet boat founding father land [NZ] but wow the next level sprinting could include drifting across the grass as part of it , with 360s mandatory , that was the best spin ever 2.5 full rotations !?. pure class . i notice the guys on the Island were crouched ready to run when Cleetus was aimed anywhere near them , getting them well trained .
This entire sprint boat weekend was a roller coaster for everyone! Was super entertaining and full of excitement. Glad Dil and his mom were alright after their crazy roll over day 1 and i was super stoked watching my fav car YT guys making it to the 4 cut! congrats boys and HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Cleetus be safe little ripper needs you around
No shit man… I hate to even think like that but it’s true.
Yeah, it ain’t just you anymore. ..
RIP PAT CASEY bmx community raising his boy now.
he knows the risks, and he doesnt need to hear it from you or me all the damn time in his comments. stop whining
@@gabberpietorhonestly ripper also needs a good life and he is doing what it takes for it
Love the Jet boat stuff Cleetus!!!!!! Cant wait to see you push the sport and give it the attention it needs!!!!! Keep it up!!
Cleatus,
From looking at on board footage it looks like you might need to make the steering ratio quite a bit slower. That should greatly help with smoothness. Add some expo if possible. Take a peek at the #1 guys setup if possible.
win the show or be the show. Glad you boys are safe
This has to be the best onboard footage from any Motor sport. So glad you found Sprint boats.
Glad you guys are ok. Seeing the fence and the high tension cable coming towards you was beyond sketch.
Just glad you guys are good. Holy that cable stopped you quick. Gets very close with the cage design. Hands off the wheel real quick. Crash or win boys !!!
I appreciate you taking the time to review the footage with us! That's one fast boat.
I'm glad everyone is ok. That clap at 17:51 is perfect!
Spence's clap as you guys yeeted out of the water was hilarious. It was a "Damn it, we had this!" kinda thing without even paying any mind to the fence and crowd approaching very quickly lol. Like the same kinda clap or gesture at home playing a video game. That was funny as hell lol
Man i never noticed that and had a great laugh at the replay. Good eye!
Having a brother like Spence that will jump in a boat and learn a new sport in a instant and take the blame on a split second decision, that’s the brothers I want around me. Your lucky to have him
I see a jet boat course around the freedom factory in the near future.
These sprint boat vidoes are seriously my favorite content on the channel.
Your level of commitment is pretty amazing my guy! I'm impressed how hard you pushed right away! Congrats, it looked fun AF! Sprint Boats at the Freedom Factory..... What's more Florida than that???
It’s the fans saying I love you as your walking away for me!! I know that made you feel better we all love you man
I love the jet boat content, reminds me so much of autocross.
Stay safe boys!
I'm super glad that there is a guy ahead of you. When I see a sport that someone jumps into and jumps to the top, it generally tells me there isn't a ton of competition due to money barriers. The fact that there is competition at the top, and someone way faster than you, makes me want to watch more.
That was some awesome driving for the amount of time you've had on the water. Nobody else could do that but you. Proud of ya brotha!
That was impressive I loved it I can't believe how fast that boat takes off I just can't believe the speed great job. i'm glad you didn't get hurt.
Watching Cleet rip around the track honestly looks like the film is sped up… I know it’s not but it’s crazy how fast these boats maneuver!
Leave it to Cleet to bring the show to the people!!! 👏👏👏
Exactly what I was going to say....
No doubt making it fun to watch
Best reply ever!🤣
I love how they just put a big ass Haybale to cover up the hole 😂
You got a timestamp on it? I need to see this😂😂
@@night6876it was on the live idk if it made the video
Cleetus 2 channel has the full race.
@@dixonwa1 Thank you
Honestly the aircraft cable is doing *a lot* of the heavy lifting here when it comes to safety. The chainlink is more to soften the blow with the hay bale will also do.
The “we love you!” Was perfect when cleet is down we are here to pick him up!
This is the only channel I won't skip the ads, always keepin em fun!
Cletus single handedly pushing every Motorsport he touches to the limit. What a unit of a human being
Cant do it without the gang !
But this our sport. Wait until you see overkill.. welcome to spirit boats
pretty sure if he had the Us Theodore Roosevelt to drive it would get another reactor , an mega powered steam centrifugal precharger , 6 more turbines, and do 60 knots they wouldn't bother shooting other ships ,just run them over !!?.
I am glad for our sport that he got into it. Bring it, son
Still waiting to see him in a proper stock car... 👀
Hell yeah Garrett👍🏻 Nice to see you having fun. I think alot of us dream or aspire to do some of the things you make look easy lol. You and your team are bad ass. James George Zach Tye and Sam are great to watch together. Those guys are some wrenching wiring welding machines😂 and then add Tune em all and Kevin such a great group of guys🤙🏻
Props to Cleet and the team. What a performance for your first time out.
Holy smokes. These races are wild! I’d love to give this a go. Glad y’all are alright. Thankfully the fence stopped you when it did because the next thing in the line of fire was your helmets.
So much potential for someone that's only done it a handful of times. Great to watch and the crowd would have loved it too.
Poor tree
Damn these boats are so quick and maneuverable,but when they unhook, you are in for a ride. You got balls brother. HELL YEAH!!!!
That was pretty sick.. It's crazy how competitive his time was with zero previous seat time in that boat...
That’s racin boys you’re behind one of the hardest thing to drive and for someone like you cleet to struggle no normal human being could do that without seat time in anything fast at all. You’re a hell of a driver brother keep on sending 🙏🏻 glad the fence stopped ya and the crowd was quick to ask if you were okay
That boat seemed off, shouldn't be losing suction that quick each crash it was getting unsettled, better play with the 4 link! :) Great driving, glad everyone is ok. Boat sounds so awesome! More seat time and it will be a ripper!
It's kind of a crazy stroke of luck that you guys Decided to wrap Garrett's shins to keep from running into the dashboard because I got a feeling if he didn't have that there he might have gotten some cable rash on is leg.
Looks like cleetoris barely fits
That was sick. The last two wrecks were intense. That fence did it's job well
Congrats on the new member of the fleet. Loved watching the race. Would've loved it more in person. Give a shout next time your in Washington, Tacoma ain't but hop, skip, & a jump away. Love all that you guys do. Keep it real, & keep it safe.
I hope after that crash the track rethinks it’s safety fencing. That could have been really bad. Glad y’all are ok brother. Keep the great videos coming
Can we just appreciate the absolute legend this dude is becoming?!! Anything with throttle an steering this dude rips!!! Keep it up brother, from running on bald eagles an freedom to running the freedom factory! HELL YEAH BROTHER
This is one of my favorite things you do on the channel. I am almost sure that one day there will be a jet sprint track dug into the back of the freedom factory. Just expecting you to show it done one day then go back and show us all the work like a reverse work in progress story.
Everything Cleetus does pushes the limits and I love it! Always exciting to watch. I’d say for a boat you drove for the first time, in an event for the first time, you freaking rocked it. Watch out world, Cleetus McFarland is coming for ya!
Glad you and Spenc are ok and the fence did it’s job protecting the spectators !
What a natural driver. I suspect there will be a win in Cletus's future if he keeps at this sprint boat thing.
He won when he was in the jolly Rodgers boat
@@davidadcock1475 yup first time ever doing it, I think this boat is just a bit more powerful than the JR boat though.
You'll need a wheel alignment for sure after that
😂😂
It was wild watching this wreck happen right in front of me. Was good meeting you man, im looking forward to seeing you out there at the next event!
this was alot of fun to watch, thanks for signing my wallet! you guys were absolutely killing it and im so glad your bringing this sport some love!! I had no idea they were racing these here till you came and kicked butt the first time out!
This looks deadly. proper prep prevents poor performance god bless
Glad y’all are ok! You boys are pushing the envelope and you are definitely a force to be reckoned with!
Can we talk about how well homie is running the camera today. Them boats are moving but he’s making sure to keep them in frame the whole time.
I gotta feeling Madi is gonna put a stop to this 😂
Or get some really good life insurance.
How long do you think it's going to be until he digs his own Sprint boat course at the Freedom Factory?
Would really help his control and give him all the seat time he needs.
Gators will love it!
current location? never
well he had that back yard where they did the first crownvic dirt race.
Exactly what I'm saying! 😂😉
I give ol cleeter all the respect for holding on and steering that beast
Fantastic attempt at going really fast with minimal seat time ! Kudos to you and " Spicey " Spence. thanks for that great video. Looking forward to the next race ( by the way , that boat is fast ).
It is so hard to believe the footage isn’t sped up, but the engine sound says it all 👌👌
