How amazing is this story. The fact that he said he was going to help his buddy and his buddy's mom out financially because of their inability to work right now speaks volumes about this young man. This was an unfortunate accident. Thank you, Dave and crew, for helping this young man out. That speaks volumes about the men you all are. Blessings on you all from Proctor Minnesota!
@@ABRetroCollections That's one way to look at it. Not sure how many times you've been around people almost killed and it's your fault but most learn the necessary lesson.
@@ABRetroCollections Cut the kid some slack. Working while going to school and has been raised right to want to give all his earnings to his friend and friend's family, so he seems able to learn from his mistakes. As far as expensive brands, he works at a golf club (high end from the looks of it) and they probably have uniforms for employees. The Jeep was used and had been wrecked and put back together (badly) so he probably got it for a good deal.
@@troycurrie7784 Good eye; the clothes he wore earlier in the video didn't appear to be overly extravagant or expensive and Dave went to his work place to hand over the jeep, where the lad was clearly wearing a uniform (I didn't know it was a golf club though). Heck, the hat had STAFF written on it! As you said; Its clear he felt and took responsibiluty for what happened and I commend him for going the extra step by freely giving his wages to his friend and the friend's family while the lad is unable to work. I personally think Max worked and saved to buy that jeep and I also saw there were some previous (and poorly) repaired damage to the vehicle that MIGHT have assisted in the tumble..
@@ABRetroCollections I'm more surprised that you couldn't put 2 and 2 together that the clothes he was wearing was a work uniform. He obviously works for the Golf course you could plainly see in the background including golf carts. He seems like a good kid that genuinely feels horrible for causing injury and inconvenience to his friends and their families. It's not often you hear someone forking over their wages to pay for someone being out of work until the have been sued for it. Especially when they are probably making 8 dollars an hour, which Max probably is.
I think what you did was so nice and very generous. He's a good kid who made a mistake, and he's paying back his buddy's lost wages. This speaks to his remorse and character. Lesson learned. You're an angel to help him out.
I think you guys did an amazing job that kid will never ever forget that and he sure will play it forward it's amazing what you guys did keep up the good work be safe out there and have fun not many people like you left in this world
No kidding!! That kid is doing more than anyone could ever ask for after something like that happened. He is well deserving of what Dave and the crew did for him, I don't see why any one would ever be mad about what they did for him. I'm sure Dave helped maxes prayers come true for sure.
Good job I 100% agree with you the kid deserved it you did the right thing and I don't think a GoFundMe for his friend is out of the question look into it and I'll dono if you think it's the right thing
The fact that this kid works directly after that,to make sure his friend is covered for his lost wages..shows you straight away what a good kid it is... he deserves what you guys give him..
At 75 years old, widowed & a Vietnam vet who is disabled. Thank you Dave and crew for all you have done for this young man. He is well worth your time and effort. God bless y’all.
Three nice things for Dave. 1. You have a heart of gold. 2. You genuine care about those around you. 3. Your a work a holic!!! Get some rest buddy. The whole team sparks gets to be part of what you do, and thats special.
That kid truly deserves everything good that comes into his life. A well-mannered, genuine, and good-hearted kid. I tip my hat to his parents for raising such an awesome young man. Congratulations Young man, You deserve it pal.
This kid has a great head on his shoulders and knows the consequences of his actions and is taking responsibility. He has parents that teach values and shows true appreciation. This is the type we need in the next generation.
That is the type that simply is few and far between and you would think just doesn't exist anymore in today's world. I'm so glad to see it myself too because it is extremely encouraging and gives me Faith in humanity once again.
Amazing he is working to help his friends family with lost wages!!! No 16 yr old thinks about others like that nowadays!!! He absolutely was deserving of what you guys did for him!!! That's a good man right there, I won't even call him young... he is selfless beyond his age, and understands the consequences of his actions!!! Way to go Sparks !!!!
This kid will relive those moments for a very long time. That’s lesson enough for me. He’s a responsible young man who wants to help make his friend whole again. Just thankful they are all alive. So I’m glad he’s got his Jeep back. Thanks Dave and crew for being compassionate and not judgey, which in turn will likely be paid forward for the rest of this kids life. 🌺
Im also just startin to drive (out here you gotta be 18 to start driving) and i got a jeep like his but more stock, they are tough old rigs and you fall in love with em pretty fast, i can imagine what the kid has gone trough, thank you guys for doing this, and all of your other good deeds, theres a special place in heaven for yall
@@redneckgarage17O819where on earth do you live that you can’t get a driver license till 18?? You must not live in America or your parents are just telling you that so you won’t drive 😂
This kid ABSOLUTELY learned his lesson, AND is doing his best to make things right. There’s definitely more lessons learned than the obvious. Dave, you’re such an awesome guy! Genuine people person. May God continue to bless you, your family, and everyone in your circle bro!
What an amazing video. That young man Max is so genuine and the fact he’s working to replace his hurt friends lost wages is a testament to his great character. He’s so respectful, and definitely worthy of all your teams kindness. Thanks Heavy D and crew - you cannot watch this and not smile.
You damn near had me in tears - I wrote off my car within two weeks of buying it - rolled down an embankment. Everyone was fine, but I owed a three-year loan on it. Doing this for this young lad was a selfless act of kindness. You and the whole team are a genuinely amazing and nice bunch!
Your entire team are wonderful people. From coming out here to California and helping everyone with the snow removal, and now this. It takes a special soul to do what you do.
Owning a Jeep Wrangler myself, I understand how devastated this young man must have been. His concern for his hospitalized friend is admirable. And his gratitude to the team for recovering and reconstructing his Jeep is a joy to witness. Yet another heartwarming story of how Heavy D and the Team selflessly share their time and resources to do amazing feats of generosity and goodness. They provide inspiration and a much-needed testament to the goodness of mankind. He and his incredible team are truly angels on Earth. Three things I like about Heavy D include his incredible selflessness, kindness, and compassion. But that wouldn't be complete without adding heroism, courage, strength, intelligence, integrity, and perseverance; yet also vulnerable, loving, and protective. Let's face it, he's an incredibly beautiful man in every way, that anyone would be honored to be friends with.
This is probably my favorite video to date. This young man is amazing in today's world. I am so thankful for him and his attitude towards helping his injured friend and his mother replace their lost wages from missing work. Dave, you and your entire team are a true inspiration. God bless every one of you.
Giving this kid a second chance was a great thing to do. He's working to pay his friend for his lost wages. What a great kiss. He is genuine. Nothing wrong with helping a good kid like that out. Great job guys.
10 😅 things I like about you 1) Your are a God Send for so many 2) You will HELP someone on a whim ... 3) You Radiate your Kind Soul 4) You are Educated in so many areas enabling you and your guys to handle about ANY job. 5) You are Kind to everyone 6) You are not afraid to show emotion in Sad/Scary situations 7) You always give Thanks where Thanks are needed 8) You will do something to make things easier/better for others not just yourself. 9) You take care of others belongs even if they got damaged by another you still pay Respect to ANOTHERS things. 10) You a Awesome person that has a nac for Organizing tasks.
That young man will never forget this event, as much for the hurt he caused his buddy as for you giving him a break. Yes lots of people may criticise you but your generous help and non-blame attitude may serve him well in his future, and, hopefully he will pay - it - forward one day. Thank you Big D. From Southampton, Hampshire, UK.
You're an absolute legend! That kid went from the top of the world being 16 and having a jeep, to feeling like absolute garbage in several ways, and then you came along and gave a little light to his world. Well done man!
1. The team you have put together 2. The understanding you all have at the base, empathic level. 3. Integrity at the kindness of paying it forward. Basically you're a good human. Kind, humble ... spreading love, joy and peace.
This is one of the main reasons I watch you guys. You are all so generous. Thank you for helping the kid out. When you're that age, the whole world is so overwhelming and sometimes you just don't know how to handle it. I'm sure you took a load off his shoulders.
Man, the world needs a ton more folks like you guys. I wish I was in the position to help people like you guys. The amazing hearts you all have. THANK YOU!
That was amazing. Accidents happen to us all. Sometimes when we're young, sometimes when we're older. This kid was genuine, wanting to help his friend out with wages and such. What you did, will impact his life forever. Thanks for all you do for everyone you serve.
That "Holy Crap, What did I do." At the end there when he saw the reveal. Thats the moment you realize how grateful this kid is, and that he truly understands what he has done. I really think this boy learned his lesson, and deserved the break you guys have given him. Well done :D
Max will never forget this! I am sure no words could express how happy this made him after having gone through such a traumatic experience. This channel is amazing! An accident is called an accident for a reason! My only hope is that he is mature enough to have learned a solid lesson from what happened.
4" lift for dude who already rolled without that? hahaha New lesson to be learned about how much easier it'll be to roll down a mountain *next time.* :D
There’s not enough room or time to tell you how much I respect and admire what you and your team do for people. There are very few men in the world that would do that for that kid and all the other people you help and other things you do that most wouldn’t even think of. I’m old and disabled but I try to help people when I can. It’s only small things but I’m sure it helps in a small way. My brother passed away last Oct over and he wanted me to have his 92 Toyota pick up that he loved more than anything else. While he was in hospice someone stole his truck. The police found it abandoned. They tore it up broke the steering column and ripped out all the wiring. It’s now sitting in a shop in Hemet ca they have supposed to be fixing it but every time I call nothings been done. But I promised my brother I would get it fixed and keep it, so that’s what I’ll do. Just one of my small things I’ll eventually get done. Seeing what you do inspires me more to keep going and fulfill my promise to him. Keep up the awesome things you do and I’ll try to keep doing my small ways to help people when I can. If everyone did these small things and keep spreading the help it makes the world just a little bit better. I’ll keep watching you to help me keep helping when I can. Thanks to you and your crew! God bless!
3 things i like about Dave. He treats his crew as equals, hes always looking to make a bad situation better and he cares about our environment . I love you guys....
After 72 years on this earth, sometimes I think everyone has gone crazy and folks just aren’t kind any more . But you guys never ever fail. You always do the right thing. Great folks are still out there, and you guys are definitely a group of “good guys”. You always make my wife and I smile. It does my heart good to see, we still have hope. Keep up the good work.
a damn good example for younger guys to look up to! i admire your heart and passion to help out others. From digging out californians from record snowfall to showing grace where others just stand back with a judgmental attitude. Your generosity speaks volumes man, THANK YOU for showing and leading by example
There is no lesson to be learned. He was helping a friend and a friends mom. This kid deserves everything you did for him. Some of us don’t have anybody in life to help us in a time of need! Good job guys!
He comes across as a very genuine & good hearted teenager that realizes he has a lot to learn. For him to be giving his wages to his friend is top notch. I wish you guys were around for the times I totaled my rigs. Good job!!
Dave , you and your crew are some of the best people out there . The way that you regularly go out of your way to help people is truly amazing. I have a deep respect for all of you.
i respect them too but it is hilarious that you think they "go out of there way" to do things like this, they make millions of dollars making videos like this and posting them youtube...
NK does that really matter, no because they still help people out. Because it is who they are. Honestly, I know some of his crew members, and they are super awesome, humble guys. So what if they make money or not off of you tube. It really doesn't matter as long as they are being good role models to the younger generation that is all I care about.
What you guys did for this kid is top shelf. I wish more folk get what helping out when you can is so important to unifying people, and showing how important it is to pay less attention to our differences, and pay more attention to the fact that we're all on this globe, surviving, and when a helping hand shows up, it's the best thing ever. Thank you, Heavy, Diesel, and crew.
Most people I know and continue meeting and tons I can't remember are like this and maybe it's because I drive an unusual work truck around the country anytime I break down its not long before I have my truck hauled to someone's garage with a friend of theirs pulling my trailer in behind us I've been blessed to have access to tools introduced to local salvage yards plenty of people ready to tag in when a fresh set of eyes are needed free range in the scrap pile all I ever have to do is get it through the trip and fix it in my shop I have several 67 C20s in my salvage yard for parts but the ole girl has sentimental value so high I wouldn't ever sell it original engine trans both rebuilt a couple years ago but an inline 6 with a 4 speed 55 is all I'm pushing her
Dave, you cease to amaze me. Ever since you guys helped those ladies in the school bus, I have been a fan. You have a huge heart when it comes to helping others. Thank you for all you do and have done!
When I first started watching your videos I just thought you were some pretty cool guys doing some pretty cool stuff. Then, when I saw you digging out the bottom of a mine shaft just hoping to find a missing woman's remains to help her family cope, I was blown away. Helping this kid out is exactly the content that makes me love watching your videos.
I’m so impressed with that young man. Lost his jeep after two weeks and was more worried about making things right with his friend that he hurt and replacing the wages he’s losing not being able to work. Heavy D and his crew restores my faith in humanity. It’s good to know that good things still happen to good deserving people. Most excellent you guys!
@@johnt.848 It's not like he intentionally hurt his friend, it was an accident. His friend also chose to ride in the car, so he isn't totally alleviated of all culpability
I’m sure his insurance is going to pay for everything even loss of income and suffering. That’s what they usually do for a accident that’s what they are paid for
Brother that was moving! We were all that age once and learned in our own ways. It’s a blessing to have people like you in this world that do things like that. Good kid and well deserved.
Dave, you are one of the most humbling men out there. You have started from rock bottom and made an empire where you are able to give back, and you are someone I hope inspires others to do good in this crazy messed up world we live in right now.
1. Your humor and passion 2. The smart head on your shoulders 3. The fact that if we gained at least 100 people a month that would have a heart like you the world really would become a better place for everyone. Thank you for being such a great guy man. God Bless you🙏🏽
Dave, you and your guys are the greatest! I had a similar experience as a 16 year old wrecking my mothers brand new car. I felt horrible and was not trusted for a while. You just gave this young man a small piece of his life back and gave him the break he needed. You are a good man, I sure you made a difference in his life. This is something he will never forget or take for granted. Keep up the great work, you are a credit to the human race.
Dave- You & your crew have the biggest hearts to do things like this for people. This is something the young man will remember his entire life, and will change it for the better. I wish his friend in the hospital a full and rapid recovery.
A true act of pure kindness! Knowing what that kid went through yourself and restoring hope in his eyes was priceless. You guys are pure at heart. I can see you really enjoy helping others. Proof there is still good people in this world.
i respect them too but it is hilarious that you think this is just a "true act of pure kindness", they make millions of dollars making videos like this and posting them youtube...
@@nk7123 I disagree with you!!! They could have made that same amount of money just filming getting it off of the mountain ... fixing that jeep up to it's original, and I imagine when it is all said and done, better condition is what sets them apart! Rebuilding his dream ... Priceless!!!
@@barbarafann8133 fixing up the jeep is just to get people like you to to like the video and subscribe... its just a business expense at the end of the day for them, lets just say if the cameras were not on this would never happen and im not saying filming it is right or wrong, im just stating the facts that this is a business for them
such a comfort to know there are men like you in the world! I'm a little old grammie and watch your programs often, miss my 5 sons, well launched long ago... you help fill that space. And what a good example to a young man well on the way already! Blessings!! Huggs!!
The big driving mistakes made at 16 are by far the most memorable. Most of us have those memories, and we wouldn't be who we are today without them. This is something this kid will Never forget. Thanks for giving him the benefit of the doubt, Dave. He seems like a pretty good kid. I pray for the others to recover quickly. 💚
Giving back by doing what you guys love doing could teach a few people some things. And that young man working more to help recover his friends families lost wages, wow, he for sure deserved your help. This one actually got some smoke in my eyes. Well done men, well done.
Man you guys have the biggest hearts out there. And the fact that a 16 year old kid is working to help his friend and their family out just shows how sorry he is for what happened. Awesome job guys!!!
What you guys do for people in need or honestly just people in general is amazing. You're not only changing the lives of the people you've helped directly, but all of the people who watch your channel as well. By helping people as much as you do, you're without a doubt getting your viewers to think about helping others as well. I love all of your videos and the wide variety of content as well. Also, shout-out to my buddy Ron that's in the video!! He's not in too many, so it always initially freaks me out when he is, lol.
What a wonderful act of kindness! Three things i like about Heavy D. Your smile, it is infectious! Your generosity to the community. Your faith, it gives you the heart to offer a hand back up to someone in need.
Heavy D, Diesel Dave, Alan, Hans, and the other awesome talented team giving of yourselves to a young man who will never forget and will in turn one day give back 1000x fold. Thank you for being who you are!
I could name more than three things about you and your guys that are always their when there is a need without anyone asking for help and you just appear to fix things that are a problem for those stranded or snowed in without a way to get out for food , drugs , and appointments. You have so much fun just helping others and living life . That’s just a few things but anyone that watches you know your heart . Thanks for being you and surrounding yourself with guys that have the same passion.
I have so much respect for the perspective you bring to this. Its easy to bring the Dad perspective, or mom perspective, or friends family perspective in these situations. But having that first hand experience and knowing you made the mistakes, owning up to it. Then years later helping someone in the same position, and being able to put yourself in their shoes and help them through it. To help guide and learn from mistakes. Man thats huge imo.
This one had me crying like a baby ! Thanks for giving Max a break. He seems like a good kid. I like your integrity 2. I like your compassion for others especially for those crown on their luck. 3. I like how you treat your employees .
Absolutely amazing what you did for this young man who was down an out in an instant. 3 things I like about Dave is 1. A genuine decent person with a decent crew. 2. Puts others first and knows the value of helping others. 3. Never gives up when it gets tough. 3.
Such a genuinely nice responsible young man, working and paying his friend who was hurt to help his mom meet ends say everything about that young man’s character, his parents raised a excellent young man. Thanks for helping him out Dave and crew.
My second comment now that I've seen the whole video. The fact that the kid was picking up extra hours to help his friend that got hurt shows that he's worth anything you throw at him. He's already on the path of being a strong and honorable man som day.
So sweet! You can see how genuine he is by how he spoke. Very amazing how he’s working hard to help pay for his buddies lost wages as well. Not a lot of kids would do that now days, so it’s very impressive when we do see someone being so genuine. What an amazing video guys!
Having been in that kid’s shoes before (totaled 2 trucks) I received a lot of grace and mercy from my dad. Definitely learned the hard way but had a good dad to help me through it all.
The world we live in needs more people like you and your whole crew. Showing the younger generation that you can do things for other people and not expect anything in return, but it sounds like the young guy has his head on right and is on his way if he is working to help his buddy that was hurt and out of work
You guys are AMAZING! If only there were more people like you in the world I am sure it would be world wide peace! Thank you for sharing your stories here and please keep being the nice guys you are! it is truly heart warming and inspirational in equal measure! To the Lad who is recovering, speedy recovery dude! You'll look back on this with a smile and love in your heart knowing that there are really good people out there like the Sparks Crew! To the Lad who's jeep it is, get out there and keep running the trails. Take some other people with you who are experienced trail runners with you, but keep doing it! we all make mistakes but learning from them is key! Stay safe out there and keep the trails open and loved!
So glad that you guys had the understanding and empathy of how damaging that is for a new time driver. We need more people like you guys, you guys are awesome
What an awesome thing to do for this young man… you can tell he’s remorseful for the trauma caused to his friends & is willing to help out financially… Dave and crew have such a love for their jobs, for helping others, for enjoying life… it’s a breath of fresh air to see!!
What an awesome kid! You guys did the right thing by helping him out. I know you can't help everyone that might need it, but what you did for him will make a difference for the rest of his life. He seems like someone more than willing to pay it forward as well. Good on all of you!
1) You help those in need with no cost spared 2) You treat everyone with kindness, dignity, and respect 3) You show how much you appreciate the hard work your people do for you. And as and added bonus you are all pretty easy on the eyes!
Thank you for spreading good. You guys have worked hard to get to where you are and it's great to see you giving back to a kid that obviously is a good person. Good on him for working to help his buddy with his lost wages as well, that shows great character.
Y’all are so awesome period!!!! The kid seemed very genuine and helping his buddy out at that age is hard to find someone genuine like that. You do your best to always pay it forward and this was a find example. I have watched you for years on tv and TH-cam and follow you on instagram. The world needs more people like y’all in the world. I just want to let you know y’all are awesome. God bless all of you!!!
3 thing about you Dave 1: heart of gold 2: legend in what you do with turning a bad or sad situation and putting a smile on someone's face. 3: you are a genuine caring human and their should be more people in this world like you.
That was an awesome thing you did for that young man. He is trying to support his buddies' lost wages. Some would just say "to bad,so sad" not this kid. He definitely deserves a hand.👏👏
Well done, Dave. Well done. This whole process gives me faith in Americans. These guys are the real deal. The young man giving his pay to his injured friend speaks to how his parents raised him. Growing up in Montana, we used to see things like this. It's good to know that there's still a few good ol' boys around in the rocky mountain west. God knows that we're being overrun by transplants that don't have a clue.
Another up"lifting" story from HeavyD! Thanks so much for helping this fine young man out in his time of need. We all need a helping hand now and then and we certainly need folks like you and your guys! Kudos on another job well done.
you and your crew never cease to amaze me.. you guys find people that need the help and never 2nd guess in helping them especially when ther is people that think u shouldn't u just do it regardless what people will think and thats bada** of all of u guys
It’s nice to see a remorseful young man get a second chance….the key reason to help the boy out is because he’s truly remorseful, working to pay back his hurt friends lost wages. Dave you truly have a good heart, thanks for being a good example of a real man.
Glad to see there are young men in that generation that have the kind of attitude and work ethic this young man does. Glad Heavy D and the crew are helping him out .
Absolutely awesome video! The fact that he is working to repay his friend for his lost wages tells me that this young man deserves a break and is genuine. Thank you for helping him out Dave and crew.
He sounds like such a good kid that just learned accidents happen. His paying the buddy for lost wages is so heart warming. He now knows how it feels to meet an amazing person/team. Someday he might be the amazing person that helps out (pay it forward). Great job HeavyD team.
You are the absolute best. I have a tear in my eye. And...all my favorite Sparks team are in this video. What a wonderful example of what the world needs now. Great kid who also has the right priorities. Working to help out his buddy and mom. Thank you. 😊
Massive respect to you for not only doing this but spending your own time and money to help the kid out when he's in a bad place just for making a simple mistake. The world needs more people like you sir well done.
How amazing is this story. The fact that he said he was going to help his buddy and his buddy's mom out financially because of their inability to work right now speaks volumes about this young man. This was an unfortunate accident. Thank you, Dave and crew, for helping this young man out. That speaks volumes about the men you all are. Blessings on you all from Proctor Minnesota!

It is great that he is taking accountability for his mistake, and Dave helping him.
A ministry of diesel in a sense.
Heavy D is such good guy. One of the rare ones who restore the faith in humanity at least a bit
Agreed!!!🙂
Thanks you guys.
Agreed, like I just told my wife, Even though he made a gigantic mistake with established titles, it's things like this that restores his name
Shame he tried to sell us a scam then isn't it, and still won't take the video down.
Not hard to be a good guy in his financial position
The fact that this kid works directly after that,to make sure his friend is covered for his lost wages..shows you straight away what a good kid it is... he deserves what you guys give him..
agreed.
Your passion and dedication a lesson for us all. Great work.
At 75 years old, widowed & a Vietnam vet who is disabled. Thank you Dave and crew for all you have done for this young man. He is well worth your time and effort. God bless y’all.
Thank you for your service bb watcher❤❤❤❤❤
My hats off to Max’s parents; that’s a fine young man you raised.

soooo... you really think the person who faked that crash, is going to wait 5 to 6 days to call another towing company to retrieve it?

Three nice things for Dave.
1. You have a heart of gold.
2. You genuine care about those around you.
3. Your a work a holic!!! Get some rest buddy.

That kid truly deserves everything good that comes into his life. A well-mannered, genuine, and good-hearted kid. I tip my hat to his parents for raising such an awesome young man. Congratulations Young man, You deserve it pal.
This kid has a great head on his shoulders and knows the consequences of his actions and is taking responsibility. He has parents that teach values and shows true appreciation. This is the type we need in the next generation.
That is the type that simply is few and far between and you would think just doesn't exist anymore in today's world. I'm so glad to see it myself too because it is extremely encouraging and gives me Faith in humanity once again.
Agreed. I can’t imagine him not selling the Jeep immediately to pay hospital fees.
Amazing he is working to help his friends family with lost wages!!! No 16 yr old thinks about others like that nowadays!!! He absolutely was deserving of what you guys did for him!!! That's a good man right there, I won't even call him young... he is selfless beyond his age, and understands the consequences of his actions!!! Way to go Sparks !!!!
Apparently they do think that way
What a great guy you are
Wish I had someone like this to help me with my RV or my truck that I live in full time.
❤❤❤❤❤
Good parenting is what that is. Kids today are lazy just want to play video games
This kid will relive those moments for a very long time. That’s lesson enough for me. He’s a responsible young man who wants to help make his friend whole again. Just thankful they are all alive. So I’m glad he’s got his Jeep back. Thanks Dave and crew for being compassionate and not judgey, which in turn will likely be paid forward for the rest of this kids life. 🌺
Good post Kiki
Im also just startin to drive (out here you gotta be 18 to start driving) and i got a jeep like his but more stock, they are tough old rigs and you fall in love with em pretty fast, i can imagine what the kid has gone trough, thank you guys for doing this, and all of your other good deeds, theres a special place in heaven for yall
@@redneckgarage17O819where on earth do you live that you can’t get a driver license till 18?? You must not live in America or your parents are just telling you that so you won’t drive 😂
This kid ABSOLUTELY learned his lesson, AND is doing his best to make things right. There’s definitely more lessons learned than the obvious.
Dave, you’re such an awesome guy! Genuine people person. May God continue to bless you, your family, and everyone in your circle bro!
What an amazing video. That young man Max is so genuine and the fact he’s working to replace his hurt friends lost wages is a testament to his great character. He’s so respectful, and definitely worthy of all your teams kindness. Thanks Heavy D and crew - you cannot watch this and not smile.
The scariest part of this is the devastatingly expensive Life Flight, probably cost 10 Jeeps and wasn't necessary.
You damn near had me in tears - I wrote off my car within two weeks of buying it - rolled down an embankment. Everyone was fine, but I owed a three-year loan on it. Doing this for this young lad was a selfless act of kindness. You and the whole team are a genuinely amazing and nice bunch!
I was definitely in tears by the end of this story took me way back to my younger years
You guys need to deliver the Jeep dressed as fairy godmothers complete with wands and sparkle dust! Gorgeous, all round kindness and care. 💕💞
Your entire team are wonderful people. From coming out here to California and helping everyone with the snow removal, and now this. It takes a special soul to do what you do.
Amen to that 👍
That's how the world should work see someone needing help do everything you can to help them
I was a tow operator for 39 yrs know that feeling no I'm retired I think back all the people I helped but can't shake a stick at this crew 👍
I agree. The would needs more people like this. Help each other and we will all end in a better place.
Owning a Jeep Wrangler myself, I understand how devastated this young man must have been. His concern for his hospitalized friend is admirable. And his gratitude to the team for recovering and reconstructing his Jeep is a joy to witness. Yet another heartwarming story of how Heavy D and the Team selflessly share their time and resources to do amazing feats of generosity and goodness. They provide inspiration and a much-needed testament to the goodness of mankind. He and his incredible team are truly angels on Earth. Three things I like about Heavy D include his incredible selflessness, kindness, and compassion. But that wouldn't be complete without adding heroism, courage, strength, intelligence, integrity, and perseverance; yet also vulnerable, loving, and protective. Let's face it, he's an incredibly beautiful man in every way, that anyone would be honored to be friends with.
The nice part of it all was, he was already helping out his injured friend and his mamma. The kid deserves every bit of it!! Pay it forward!!
This is probably my favorite video to date. This young man is amazing in today's world. I am so thankful for him and his attitude towards helping his injured friend and his mother replace their lost wages from missing work. Dave, you and your entire team are a true inspiration. God bless every one of you.
Exactly how I feel❤🤍💙
I’m pretty sure insurance is going to pay for any lost wages pain and suffering. That’s what insurance does
Good for working it off. Looks like good paying job.
Pretty weird that giving his friend what he owes him is considered "amazing".
Think it is context.
Money and fun is pretty not different than none and fun.
Giving this kid a second chance was a great thing to do. He's working to pay his friend for his lost wages. What a great kiss. He is genuine. Nothing wrong with helping a good kid like that out. Great job guys.

That young man will never forget this event, as much for the hurt he caused his buddy as for you giving him a break. Yes lots of people may criticise you but your generous help and non-blame attitude may serve him well in his future, and, hopefully he will pay - it - forward one day. Thank you Big D. From Southampton, Hampshire, UK.
You're an absolute legend! That kid went from the top of the world being 16 and having a jeep, to feeling like absolute garbage in several ways, and then you came along and gave a little light to his world. Well done man!
1. The team you have put together
2. The understanding you all have at the base, empathic level.
3. Integrity at the kindness of paying it forward.
Basically you're a good human. Kind, humble ... spreading love, joy and peace.
Heavy D’s 1. Kind, 2. Sincere. 3. Honest. The kid was blown away, happy Teddy bear. Watching make one feel good. Pleasure to watch you and your team.
This is one of the main reasons I watch you guys. You are all so generous. Thank you for helping the kid out. When you're that age, the whole world is so overwhelming and sometimes you just don't know how to handle it. I'm sure you took a load off his shoulders.
Man, the world needs a ton more folks like you guys. I wish I was in the position to help people like you guys. The amazing hearts you all have. THANK YOU!
That was amazing. Accidents happen to us all. Sometimes when we're young, sometimes when we're older. This kid was genuine, wanting to help his friend out with wages and such. What you did, will impact his life forever. Thanks for all you do for everyone you serve.
You guys are unreal. Nice to see that there’s still people in this world willing to help others instead of take take take.
You realize that this is paid for by sponsors and they're only doing this for videos
That "Holy Crap, What did I do." At the end there when he saw the reveal. Thats the moment you realize how grateful this kid is, and that he truly understands what he has done. I really think this boy learned his lesson, and deserved the break you guys have given him. Well done :D
Thanks for the spoiler (no I’m not mad, really I’m not)
Max will never forget this!
I am sure no words could express how happy this made him after having gone through such a traumatic experience.
This channel is amazing!
An accident is called an accident for a reason!
My only hope is that he is mature enough to have learned a solid lesson from what happened.
The world needs more people like heavy D and his crew, what an awesome thing to do
4" lift for dude who already rolled without that? hahaha New lesson to be learned about how much easier it'll be to roll down a mountain *next time.* :D
There’s not enough room or time to tell you how much I respect and admire what you and your team do for people. There are very few men in the world that would do that for that kid and all the other people you help and other things you do that most wouldn’t even think of. I’m old and disabled but I try to help people when I can. It’s only small things but I’m sure it helps in a small way. My brother passed away last Oct over and he wanted me to have his 92 Toyota pick up that he loved more than anything else. While he was in hospice someone stole his truck. The police found it abandoned. They tore it up broke the steering column and ripped out all the wiring. It’s now sitting in a shop in Hemet ca they have supposed to be fixing it but every time I call nothings been done. But I promised my brother I would get it fixed and keep it, so that’s what I’ll do. Just one of my small things I’ll eventually get done. Seeing what you do inspires me more to keep going and fulfill my promise to him. Keep up the awesome things you do and I’ll try to keep doing my small ways to help people when I can. If everyone did these small things and keep spreading the help it makes the world just a little bit better. I’ll keep watching you to help me keep helping when I can. Thanks to you and your crew! God bless!
3 things i like about Dave. He treats his crew as equals, hes always looking to make a bad situation better and he cares about our environment . I love you guys....
After 72 years on this earth, sometimes I think everyone has gone crazy and folks just aren’t kind any more . But you guys never ever fail. You always do the right thing. Great folks are still out there, and you guys are definitely a group of “good guys”. You always make my wife and I smile. It does my heart good to see, we still have hope. Keep up the good work.
It is Utah
Agree 100% also 100% about Utah
a damn good example for younger guys to look up to! i admire your heart and passion to help out others. From digging out californians from record snowfall to showing grace where others just stand back with a judgmental attitude. Your generosity speaks volumes man, THANK YOU for showing and leading by example
There is no lesson to be learned. He was helping a friend and a friends mom. This kid deserves everything you did for him. Some of us don’t have anybody in life to help us in a time of need! Good job guys!
The lesson could Maby be learn to read the terrain better. That narrow sketchy stuff is no joke
He comes across as a very genuine & good hearted teenager that realizes he has a lot to learn. For him to be giving his wages to his friend is top notch.
I wish you guys were around for the times I totaled my rigs.
Good job!!
Dave , you and your crew are some of the best people out there .
The way that you regularly go out of your way to help people is truly amazing.
I have a deep respect for all of you.
i respect them too but it is hilarious that you think they "go out of there way" to do things like this, they make millions of dollars making videos like this and posting them youtube...
NK does that really matter, no because they still help people out. Because it is who they are. Honestly, I know some of his crew members, and they are super awesome, humble guys. So what if they make money or not off of you tube. It really doesn't matter as long as they are being good role models to the younger generation that is all I care about.
I agree you and your guys are the best wish more people was like you
@@amz.garrison its not just "Because it is who they are" lol, if it was they wouldnt be filming it and extorting it for money
What you guys did for this kid is top shelf. I wish more folk get what helping out when you can is so important to unifying people, and showing how important it is to pay less attention to our differences, and pay more attention to the fact that we're all on this globe, surviving, and when a helping hand shows up, it's the best thing ever. Thank you, Heavy, Diesel, and crew.
Most people I know and continue meeting and tons I can't remember are like this and maybe it's because I drive an unusual work truck around the country anytime I break down its not long before I have my truck hauled to someone's garage with a friend of theirs pulling my trailer in behind us I've been blessed to have access to tools introduced to local salvage yards plenty of people ready to tag in when a fresh set of eyes are needed free range in the scrap pile all I ever have to do is get it through the trip and fix it in my shop I have several 67 C20s in my salvage yard for parts but the ole girl has sentimental value so high I wouldn't ever sell it original engine trans both rebuilt a couple years ago but an inline 6 with a 4 speed 55 is all I'm pushing her
I was stunned by the level of personal responsibility that kid showed toward his friend's and family. Awesome job by Dave and the crew.
Dave, you cease to amaze me. Ever since you guys helped those ladies in the school bus, I have been a fan. You have a huge heart when it comes to helping others. Thank you for all you do and have done!
Stop it
They dont help shit it staged u dont c it lmao jeep is still intack after she rolled down there supposedly 😂😂😂
When I first started watching your videos I just thought you were some pretty cool guys doing some pretty cool stuff. Then, when I saw you digging out the bottom of a mine shaft just hoping to find a missing woman's remains to help her family cope, I was blown away. Helping this kid out is exactly the content that makes me love watching your videos.
I’m so impressed with that young man. Lost his jeep after two weeks and was more worried about making things right with his friend that he hurt and replacing the wages he’s losing not being able to work. Heavy D and his crew restores my faith in humanity. It’s good to know that good things still happen to good deserving people. Most excellent you guys!
He's worried about being sued for damages and lost income, and he should be, he caused it.
@@johnt.848 It's not like he intentionally hurt his friend, it was an accident. His friend also chose to ride in the car, so he isn't totally alleviated of all culpability
@@TioMogi Unless the car was stolen, their is no passenger culpability. 🤦♀
I’m sure his insurance is going to pay for everything even loss of income and suffering. That’s what they usually do for a accident that’s what they are paid for
@@TioMogi lol. Classic "riding in the car culpability" if I have ever seen it.
Brother that was moving! We were all that age once and learned in our own ways. It’s a blessing to have people like you in this world that do things like that. Good kid and well deserved.
Dave, you are one of the most humbling men out there. You have started from rock bottom and made an empire where you are able to give back, and you are someone I hope inspires others to do good in this crazy messed up world we live in right now.
I'm glad there are people like Heavy D out there who regardless of the money make this stuff like this happen for a kid who made a mistake.
I agree, but what was the mistake? I guess just being on the mountain road with a rock?
@@lornahardin4563 being on a mountain road with little to no experience. That’d be the mistake.
@@alexanderwalley2639 Where is a kid to learn if he doesn't go there? I'm thinking he's been there, just not driving. Experience is a great teacher.
1. Your humor and passion
2. The smart head on your shoulders
3. The fact that if we gained at least 100 people a month that would have a heart like you the world really would become a better place for everyone.
Thank you for being such a great guy man. God Bless you🙏🏽
Dave, you and your guys are the greatest! I had a similar experience as a 16 year old wrecking my mothers brand new car. I felt horrible and was not trusted for a while. You just gave this young man a small piece of his life back and gave him the break he needed. You are a good man, I sure you made a difference in his life. This is something he will never forget or take for granted. Keep up the great work, you are a credit to the human race.
Dave- You & your crew have the biggest hearts to do things like this for people. This is something the young man will remember his entire life, and will change it for the better. I wish his friend in the hospital a full and rapid recovery.
A true act of pure kindness! Knowing what that kid went through yourself and restoring hope in his eyes was priceless. You guys are pure at heart. I can see you really enjoy helping others. Proof there is still good people in this world.
i respect them too but it is hilarious that you think this is just a "true act of pure kindness", they make millions of dollars making videos like this and posting them youtube...
@@nk7123 I disagree with you!!! They could have made that same amount of money just filming getting it off of the mountain ... fixing that jeep up to it's original, and I imagine when it is all said and done, better condition is what sets them apart! Rebuilding his dream ... Priceless!!!
@@barbarafann8133 fixing up the jeep is just to get people like you to to like the video and subscribe... its just a business expense at the end of the day for them, lets just say if the cameras were not on this would never happen and im not saying filming it is right or wrong, im just stating the facts that this is a business for them
such a comfort to know there are men like you in the world! I'm a little old grammie and watch your programs often, miss my 5 sons, well launched long ago... you help fill that space. And what a good example to a young man well on the way already! Blessings!! Huggs!!
The big driving mistakes made at 16 are by far the most memorable. Most of us have those memories, and we wouldn't be who we are today without them.
This is something this kid will Never forget. Thanks for giving him the benefit of the doubt, Dave.
He seems like a pretty good kid.
I pray for the others to recover quickly. 💚
Giving back by doing what you guys love doing could teach a few people some things. And that young man working more to help recover his friends families lost wages, wow, he for sure deserved your help. This one actually got some smoke in my eyes. Well done men, well done.
Man you guys have the biggest hearts out there. And the fact that a 16 year old kid is working to help his friend and their family out just shows how sorry he is for what happened. Awesome job guys!!!
I like how genuine you are, how you always jump out to help whenever you can and how you take care of your people ❤
What you guys do for people in need or honestly just people in general is amazing. You're not only changing the lives of the people you've helped directly, but all of the people who watch your channel as well. By helping people as much as you do, you're without a doubt getting your viewers to think about helping others as well. I love all of your videos and the wide variety of content as well. Also, shout-out to my buddy Ron that's in the video!! He's not in too many, so it always initially freaks me out when he is, lol.
This act of kindness is exactly what building a community is all about. Peace be with you Dave & team...
What a wonderful act of kindness! Three things i like about Heavy D. Your smile, it is infectious! Your generosity to the community. Your faith, it gives you the heart to offer a hand back up to someone in need.
Heavy D, Diesel Dave, Alan, Hans, and the other awesome talented team giving of yourselves to a young man who will never forget and will in turn one day give back 1000x fold. Thank you for being who you are!
Max is a good kid.
But a very bad driver lol
Ayoo what’s inside Dan
@@LokiSadie Nah, just inexperienced. He'll learn.
Y’all need to do a few videos together!!
@@LokiSadie Really, he's a kid. Lol, there are people twice if not three times his age that are worse.
I could name more than three things about you and your guys that are always their when there is a need without anyone asking for help and you just appear to fix things that are a problem for those stranded or snowed in without a way to get out for food , drugs , and appointments. You have so much fun just helping others and living life . That’s just a few things but anyone that watches you know your heart . Thanks for being you and surrounding yourself with guys that have the same passion.
I have so much respect for the perspective you bring to this. Its easy to bring the Dad perspective, or mom perspective, or friends family perspective in these situations. But having that first hand experience and knowing you made the mistakes, owning up to it. Then years later helping someone in the same position, and being able to put yourself in their shoes and help them through it. To help guide and learn from mistakes. Man thats huge imo.
This one had me crying like a baby ! Thanks for giving Max a break. He seems like a good kid. I like your integrity 2. I like your compassion for others especially for those crown on their luck. 3. I like how you treat your employees .
Absolutely amazing what you did for this young man who was down an out in an instant.
3 things I like about Dave is
1. A genuine decent person with a decent crew.
2. Puts others first and knows the value of helping others.
3. Never gives up when it gets tough.
3.
Wow, what an amazing story. This act of kindness by Dave and crew has the potential to be life changing for Max
Such a genuinely nice responsible young man, working and paying his friend who was hurt to help his mom meet ends say everything about that young man’s character, his parents raised a excellent young man. Thanks for helping him out Dave and crew.
Man that was cool. Do an episode 2 with the final. Thank you for the content. Awesome story and glad everyone is ok.
Heavy D and crew are a perfect example of humanity at its best. The world would be a much better place with more people like this.
My second comment now that I've seen the whole video.
The fact that the kid was picking up extra hours to help his friend that got hurt shows that he's worth anything you throw at him. He's already on the path of being a strong and honorable man som day.
So sweet! You can see how genuine he is by how he spoke. Very amazing how he’s working hard to help pay for his buddies lost wages as well. Not a lot of kids would do that now days, so it’s very impressive when we do see someone being so genuine. What an amazing video guys!
What a fine young man, well spoken. You can tell he was raised right. He deserved that break you guys gave him
Having been in that kid’s shoes before (totaled 2 trucks) I received a lot of grace and mercy from my dad. Definitely learned the hard way but had a good dad to help me through it all.
The world we live in needs more people like you and your whole crew. Showing the younger generation that you can do things for other people and not expect anything in return, but it sounds like the young guy has his head on right and is on his way if he is working to help his buddy that was hurt and out of work
You guys are AMAZING! If only there were more people like you in the world I am sure it would be world wide peace! Thank you for sharing your stories here and please keep being the nice guys you are! it is truly heart warming and inspirational in equal measure! To the Lad who is recovering, speedy recovery dude! You'll look back on this with a smile and love in your heart knowing that there are really good people out there like the Sparks Crew! To the Lad who's jeep it is, get out there and keep running the trails. Take some other people with you who are experienced trail runners with you, but keep doing it! we all make mistakes but learning from them is key! Stay safe out there and keep the trails open and loved!
HeavyD and crew are doing monumental work. Gentlemen, I take my hat off to you. You have just gained a super fan from South-Africa.
So glad that you guys had the understanding and empathy of how damaging that is for a new time driver. We need more people like you guys, you guys are awesome
What an awesome thing to do for this young man… you can tell he’s remorseful for the trauma caused to his friends & is willing to help out financially…
Dave and crew have such a love for their jobs, for helping others, for enjoying life… it’s a breath of fresh air to see!!
What an awesome kid! You guys did the right thing by helping him out. I know you can't help everyone that might need it, but what you did for him will make a difference for the rest of his life. He seems like someone more than willing to pay it forward as well. Good on all of you!
1. your generosity, 2. your employees genuinely like you, 3. your work ethic
1) You help those in need with no cost spared 2) You treat everyone with kindness, dignity, and respect 3) You show how much you appreciate the hard work your people do for you. And as and added bonus you are all pretty easy on the eyes!
Will you put the kids in the hospital? They forgot about him.
Thank you for spreading good. You guys have worked hard to get to where you are and it's great to see you giving back to a kid that obviously is a good person. Good on him for working to help his buddy with his lost wages as well, that shows great character.
Y’all are so awesome period!!!! The kid seemed very genuine and helping his buddy out at that age is hard to find someone genuine like that. You do your best to always pay it forward and this was a find example. I have watched you for years on tv and TH-cam and follow you on instagram. The world needs more people like y’all in the world. I just want to let you know y’all are awesome. God bless all of you!!!
3 thing about you Dave
1: heart of gold
2: legend in what you do with turning a bad or sad situation and putting a smile on someone's face.
3: you are a genuine caring human and their should be more people in this world like you.
That was an awesome thing you did for that young man. He is trying to support his buddies' lost wages. Some would just say "to bad,so sad" not this kid.
He definitely deserves a hand.👏👏
Respect to the kid for looking after his mates and to Heavy D and the team for doing an awesome deed again.
The smile on everyone’s face!! Not just Max. Dave and his crew. Made my day. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Yes everyone has a positive attitude about this young man. Keep up the amazing job that you do.
Thank you ❤️ from California Dawn
Well done, Dave. Well done. This whole process gives me faith in Americans. These guys are the real deal. The young man giving his pay to his injured friend speaks to how his parents raised him.
Growing up in Montana, we used to see things like this. It's good to know that there's still a few good ol' boys around in the rocky mountain west. God knows that we're being overrun by transplants that don't have a clue.
Another up"lifting" story from HeavyD! Thanks so much for helping this fine young man out in his time of need. We all need a helping hand now and then and we certainly need folks like you and your guys! Kudos on another job well done.
you and your crew never cease to amaze me.. you guys find people that need the help and never 2nd guess in helping them especially when ther is people that think u shouldn't u just do it regardless what people will think and thats bada** of all of u guys
This is so freaking nice of you guys! I have a JKU, thank God I’ve never rolled it… no more rock crawling for me, just stick to the pines now.
It’s nice to see a remorseful young man get a second chance….the key reason to help the boy out is because he’s truly remorseful, working to pay back his hurt friends lost wages. Dave you truly have a good heart, thanks for being a good example of a real man.
Glad to see there are young men in that generation that have the kind of attitude and work ethic this young man does. Glad Heavy D and the crew are helping him out .
Absolutely awesome video! The fact that he is working to repay his friend for his lost wages tells me that this young man deserves a break and is genuine. Thank you for helping him out Dave and crew.
You and your team...hearts of gold and giving a good kid a break. Well done.
Absolutely LOVE this story and I agree, the kid has been thru enough...OUTSTANDING
He sounds like such a good kid that just learned accidents happen. His paying the buddy for lost wages is so heart warming.
He now knows how it feels to meet an amazing person/team. Someday he might be the amazing person that helps out (pay it forward).
Great job HeavyD team.
You are the absolute best. I have a tear in my eye. And...all my favorite Sparks team are in this video. What a wonderful example of what the world needs now. Great kid who also has the right priorities. Working to help out his buddy and mom. Thank you. 😊
Heavy D and Soarks are the epitome of goodness, generosity, and heart. Love the entire team❤
3 nice things I like about Heavy D...1 your compassion, 2 Your generosity, 3 Your sense of humor.
Massive respect to you for not only doing this but spending your own time and money to help the kid out when he's in a bad place just for making a simple mistake. The world needs more people like you sir well done.
