It was an absolute honor to fly for you and the crew Cleet! Huge thank you for this amazing opportunity to showcase the world of RC Helis!! Hell yeah brother let’s go!!!! 🤘🏻🇺🇸🚁🔥
you gotta make a deal with cleet to do something that annihilates a helicopter in spectacular fashion. drive them views- make a deal with him! ill bet he offers to cover the crash if you go BIG
Someone on reddit made a post ripping into the "fans" who did it because cleet posted the clip security clip. They had no clue it was all of them and said were trying to white knight for cleet🤣🤣🤣
Same here. Hilarious 🤣 This was just a wholesome end of the year video. Love Cleetus.. his family.. his crew and this community. Can't wait for next year. Bless y'all 🙏
@@DesertEagleDutch lol it was my first time checking out that sub and there's legit a reply to a post calling him a Satan worshiper because he was at Mar A Lago 🤣🤣
You can really tell how much his employees enjoy working with Cleet and how much he appreciates what they do for him. You can tell they were as excited to do something for him as he was for them. You can tell Cleetus doesnt cuss people out often or abuse them. They genuinely enjoy being around him and are making enough money that they dont need to decide between paying bills and enjoying their job.
As a veteran, I really appreciated how concerned you were when you saw that our flag was on the ground! The love you gave to it in our day and age is extremely heartfelt! You and your whole team are amazing patriots! Keep up the great work!
Glad you posted it. No disrespect. Total accident. And how fast you got out and got it off the ground PROVES the respect you have for it. Carry on!!! Edit: I just finished this episode and I feel like I am watching people living their best life and it is so freakin cool! Merry Christmas Cleeter Crew!
EXACTLY! him and Mr Sam were absolutely ON IT, when they realized what happened. Total accident and remedied with absolutely the most respect possible.
Right!! I remember when George was on the other channel and got fired. I felt bad for him when that happened, who knew it was a blessing in disguise!!Getting on the team with Cleetus and the guys was destiny in the making…who would ever think George was just not in the right place yet!!
For me it’s because George is the underdog of the team, not a great driver or flyer but he’s got the best personality of them all! Hope he never leaves the channel.
The respect and speed with which you got out, realized what you did, and picked it up with haste.... true American. What a man. For sure it was the right choice to post it. And who else but Mr Sam to scoot over there and help out. You and Mr Sam understood the assignment. Stuff happens. How you respond is what counts.
The rest of the world - "Imagine living in a country so backward and fascistic that people feel the need to publicly apologise for accidentally hitting a piece of coloured cloth."

Marine Corps vet here and real long time viewer of ol Cleets videos, you’re all good to go brother! No harm, no foul! The fact that you edited in a bit explaining yourself just proves that you love Ol’ Glory! Keep ripping it man! Hope yall had an awesome Christmas and have a crazy New Years!
We were the first people standing in line for the Christmas tree race with a 1hr 1/2 to ago before the gate open I was holding several packages in my hand when Alan kindly came over and said I'll put these inside the gate and you can grab them when we open😊 also there were four people who came all the way from Brazil and was having some difficulty getting their tickets Alan bring them behind the gate and got them tickets. He does so much behind the scenes to help Cleetus out. Alan it was truly a pleasure and an honor to meet you that day love you brother❤
went there for tour of destruction Alan stood in line shaking hands and thanking people for coming we came from out of state it was so nice will 💯 be back!
From a vet...Ol Glory ain't mad at you for being free, brotha. Glad to see Cleet having the same smile that he gives a ton of people. You deserve it, fellas... epecially after coming up and helping with the NC hurricane relief. Shout out to the video MVP Alan
Cleetus, I’m a veteran, I was raised to honor and respect this country and our flag. The way you jumped out and picked up the flag tells me all I need to know. We know you love Ol’ Glory. Keep it up brother.
I mean it is luck. The videos that got him started gaining subscribers on UA-cam was all “stupid” funny videos with turbo whistles on his old ram, etc. now he has a whole freaking race track, airstrip that’s fully operational, his own race program, UA-cam, he’s apart of motion raceworks, and Bradenton motorsports park, and tbm brakes. On top of all that dude takes his own helicopter risk his own life to go help people in need after the hurricanes this year… now don’t get me wrong cleetus deserves everything he has and he definitely has earned it on his way. But both cleet and us viewers are lucky that we made the right dude famous!!
@@chaseroth7759 It WASN'T luck. All the rest of what you said is true. Making those "stupid" videos is excellent marketing/content on its own. The video that brought me to the channel was some of the early Dale Truck "going through the drive-thru" stuff
The best part of this video is Sam in the background just living his life to the fullest, all thanks to you, Cleet. Thank you for the best content out there right now on UA-cam. You give back so much to the people, as well as your employees! Thank you
Hey there, first timer, I’m a Veteran, don’t want to bring this up at all, but as tough as I’ve had it the last 5 years being pushed down with this economy, military buddies passing, financially etc… This video really got to me because the love for this Flag, this country, watching your team work every week, also a huge fan of the channel, it’s refreshing thru your energy, and cool things that you expose and makes it happen, the holidays are tough for me, but i actually smiled and felt great watching this video, Thanks for all the videos, god bless the Freedoms we have, your FF family, Marry Christmas 🎄
Don’t forget, the most badass thing you did all year was flying in your freshly overhauled and painted helicopter to North Carolina to help hurricane victims. You didn’t care if your expensive awesome paint job was gonna get all scratched up, you still helped people a ton.
Thank you for buying an ATC Trailer years ago that I had a hand in building and helping giving our company such great review. It's amazing building trailers for awesome people like you and your team. Gives us on the floor so more meaning.. Also as a short track announcer, I appreciate all you do for short track racing
Cleetus and crew, you are more than deserving. Every year, you've found ways to give back. You bought and restored a helicopter, then immediately used it to rescue people! That's why we stay, because you represent the values of your viewers and true Americans. 👍 🇺🇸
hell yeah brother. garret you are a standup example of a human being, couldn’t be more proud to say i’ve been watching you religiously for nearly 7 years now.
@@Studio23Mediacry me a fucking river he doesnt specifically gear his content towards children if children are watching its their parents faukt not him
@@Studio23Media Cleetus could show a video of him & his crew saving a box of puppies from a burning building while wrapping them in an American flag & there will always be some Karen like you posting negativity. He’s gotta keep making a living to keep all this going. If you don’t like it go watch some knitting videos.
The fact that Cleetus first thought after hitting the flagpole was to get the American flag off the ground shows how much of a real American he is. There was sooooo much fun in this video. But the biggest thing I took from this is how much Cleetus cares for his friends and employees. THE best channel on the internet. HELL YEAH BROTHER! Merry Christmas
@@Dylang01 That flag represents all that is good about our country and the men and women who gave their lives so we can enjoy our freedom. I could go on for another fifty-thousand words, but we all get it and dammit, Garrett gets it, too. He showed us all how passionate he is and that's a great thing to witness. If you're so upset about just a piece of cloth, you truly don't appreciate what we have. Merry Christmas.
I respect you owning up to the mistake, and how you were the first to pick up the flag, the other guys didn't move, replace it with one that when your flying you can point to it.
@@roguereductionist8147the negative comments you have up and down this channel 😅. It’s obvious your life is not going well; hope you turn it around, because this whole spreading negativity to bring other people down to your level isn’t it bud 🤷♂️
It really hits home honestly. I’ve watched every single video this channel has ever put out since 2017 from the days of turbo whistles, buying leroy and Ed the neighbor. Just being along for the ride every step of the way and watching all the growth and success, it really could not have happened to a better, more deserving guy.
@@Fishing_Fiddles He has about $3K in his. I usually put about $2K in mine. The big thing is the crashes and they happen a lot. I gave it up when I retired because I was spending well over $10K a year. Just a simple tip over from a hover one inch off the ground can cost $1K. I got big respect for the pros that stuck it out and finally started making money doing it. It was all overhead for me. lol
@@Fishing_Fiddles I just posted some pics of my favorites helis I've had over the years. In my community tab if you're interested. I always preferred the nitro helis even though the electrics are way more powerful.
As a huge RC heli enthusiast and pilot, it makes me extremely happy to see someone as notable as Ben show you and your followers the awesome world of our hobby.
It honestly feels like he has a "physics off" switch on his remote. The control and coordination is INSANE. I've always wanted an RC heli but never had one, never even flew one. A proper one with all the channels (not those coax or fixed collective ones) would be so sweet.. My fingers are tingling ngl. I feel like I'm still in shock over what I just saw
@cbrackin531 Unfortunately there isn't a ton of footage of FPV from helis. This guy is one of the best pilots though and has a few shorts of him flying with a camera mounted from the boom. It would be really hard to get actual FPV footage from the inside of the heli because of how they're set up. You have both the ESC and the batteries to contend with. This is about as close as it gets.
I owe my entire career to you, man. If I wouldn't have been in the right place at the right time filming you all those years at SCT Denver (Bribing you with a Mountain Dew to let me put a GoPro on Leroy) and FL2K18 I would've never met Javier from TRC and ended up in the position I am now. It's been awesome watching you grow as a person and entertainer and can't wait to see what's next for you guys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the years of entertainment and for helping me get where I am today.
Brother, I don't think anyone could ever question your love for our country or our flag. You didn't disrespect Ol' Glory, you made room for bigger freedom!
Almost teared up seeing you so passionate about your crew. Says alot about the man you are. The world needs more Cleet’s out there. Merry Christmas brother!!!
I cant think of another youtube personality who has handled their business and the struggles of scale the way you have. You have built a great team and stayed true to your values, letting the chips fall where they may. Congratulations on another great year. Happy to continue support you as others you have drawn into your circle. You continue to earn the success coming your way.
Your one of the few who I truly believe feels the gratitude of our watching , buying and supporting you, I’ve watched since the turbo whistle days, two goofy kids having fun, you have always come off as a genuine good person and people are drawn to it, don’t ever change brother.
Місяць тому
Went to my first event last weekend. His whole team is awesome.
One of the larger dealership groups in Fort Wayne Indiana has the largest flag and pole I've ever seen. The Freedom Factory needs this!! You can see it above buildings miles away!
From humble beginnings to now and full-fledged corporation, congratulations to you and your amazing team. Been watching from the simple yt video days all the way up to the freedom factory videos. You've always brought entertainment to us. Thank you brother
I gotta tell you brotha, I’m 48yrs old and Dale sr was my hero growing up. I stopped watching nascar after the tragic accident in 2001 but drag racing has always been something I loved. That being said the way you handle your self and how good you treat others, you’re truly my hero now. I’ve been watching your channel for many years and I’m so happy what it’s turned into. You’re a true inspiration for young and old. Keep up the the amazing work/content, and giving back to the community just like Dale did. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all your hard working employees.
Dale sr dying in a way that he did was a tragedy of course.Watching Cleet and rest of guys using their HANS device warms my heart.Did you know that Dale sr.refused to wear HANS device because it would be like hangman s noose according to him.His death was caused by same injury which is caused by hanging,fracture in base of your skull.Hans device is designed to prevent exactly this injury.
The Dale disrespect is unnecessary. People loved him because he was the real deal, no fuss racin. Don’t drag down a hopeful comment just because you aren’t a fan of dale sr
The most blessed and luckiest work crew in the world. Imagine getting to do what they do every day and having someone has fun and kind hearted at Cleetus for a boss
20-year Retired Air Force Veteran here. Accidents happen, if you look it up there is a way to properly dispose of a flag after something like this happens. IF it matters at all, I forgive you and I am pretty sure any person who matters forgives you and understands the situation. Hell yea, brother! Keep making America great, one video at a time.
You are awesome Cleet to do this for your staff. Most people can follow your example,it warms my heart that you care about the people around you and surprise them. I wish that most people be more like you brother. Merry Christmas and Happy Newyear for you,your family and friends,btw for everybody reading this.
Brother the fact you jumped out and immediately picked ol glory up off the ground shows how you feel. You're an amazing American and nobody that's a true fan would think any different.
Looks like an insanely good time with the crew. Amazing gifts and the look on everyone's face says it all. God bless brother, here's to more fun in 25' 💯
As a veteran, no disrespect taken whatsoever!!! You immediately picked O 4:32 le’ Glory up and showed her respect!! Hell Yeah Brother!! No one here thinks you have anything but respect for the greatest country and flag on earth!
I never feel bad after watching a Cleetus video. Thanks for never making me regret being a viewer.. Sometimes the right guy gets famous, and im glad i had a part.
Brother you do not need to apologize about hitting the flagpole. We appreciate your patriotism to the country but understand that we know that you never mean any harm. And we all love the content and are super glad you decided to post a clip! Have a great holidays with the family love you brother 🙏💯
32:44 Ben's heli flying is as unpredictable as George's plane flying. Seriously though, the whole team has been killing it this last year. I said the same last year, but they all are just consistently crushing it. I'm glad Garrett shows love and appreciation for his amazing workers/friends. He seems like the perfect person to work for or just be friends with, not because of the gifts but because of the true love he has for people, skills, and fun that comes through in everything he does. I'm eternally grateful for everything Garrett has done for the motorsport community. Not just locally, but worldwide. He is an icon even here in Norway where we normally only care about things driving sideways or up mountains. But Cleetus can make even us open our eyes and love a pure drag racing video because of the passion and fun that comes through, even in frustrating times.
This has GOT to be the most gratifying, awesome, most epic job anyone can have man. Literally I’m not joking, having cleet for a boss has got to be the coolest and most badass thing ever!! He treats his crew so good man and shares his success with the people close to him and it’s so awesome to watch. Working for this man is a dream! Let’s goo!
You get paid for what you do because you have an amazing personality, and it draws in fans! On top of that, you have the skills necessary to choose the right employees to work with you, and to manage all of the chaos. Give yourself a pat on the back, without your vision, and drive, none of this would be possible. It is truly great to see you succeed in such a big way, and to bring your crew along for the ride.
I think a big part of this success is that you include the families of everyone you work with too. This job would be hard if they were working that much and not seeing family, but the fact that they get to see all the events and spend time with them there really helps I bet. Props to all of them taking care of home while these guys are away at events.
As a viewer, I want to thank you Cleet and the whole entire team for the hard work you guys put in. This is truly remarkable. This channel quickly became my favorite channel the day you posted the "we bought an abandonned racetrack" video. Thank you for the amazing content!
Cleetus buddy you and your team are a true inspiration. You bring so many people so much joy in a world where everything around us is negative. What you did in North Carolina was amazing and something to be proud of. That even got my 65 year old mom watching you and cheering for you. So I would like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You are one of a kind. Please don’t ever stop.
Having a boss who appreciates his employees and knows without them most things wouldn't be possible is one of the best things you could ask for if you're one of the people that has to work to survive.
No problem. The fact that you went to it immediately and showed you were concerned about it makes all the difference. Thanks Cleetus and crew for all you do.
I just gotta send a HUGE shout out to the Merch Team! Twice a shirt didn't get delivered, the 3rd one finally did. (Totally a USPS issue) But each time I contacted them they were SUPER professional, empathetic, apologetic and more. They didn't even have to be that nice, but they handled the job like PROS!! Thank you for a fun year Cleeter, excited for more to come!
Cleet you are an amazing human with a great family and amazing friends. We see you working so hard! And real people with real struggles appreciate and value you for it!! Keep it up. Been watching since before leroy. Glad to be part of the family!!
Maaaan, the fact that Garrett started off as in intern and social media guy for Kyle... then now he has the ability to take care of every single one of his friends and show his approach in his own personal way is so awesome!!! From shoving duck calls in a procharged Ram to having employees who are all family and never a dull moment!
Everyone is jealous as heck for the upbringing Rip will be getting, and all we can hope to do is be able to provide similar to our kids and grandkids down the road!
The end of this video were you speak on how you are grateful for all this, truly showed how much you love what you give all of US in content and I myself couldn't be so happy for you and, all the boys. God bless you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You are one of my top five UA-camrs ever, probably top three, to be honest. You've been one of my main inspirations for learning more automotive stuff and becoming an even bigger car enthusiast. So thank you for giving many of us something else to be passionate about. I've been watching you for probably 10 years now, and it's been fantastic.
Cleetus I know you’re thankful. But I live in Daytona, but I am thankful that you flew your brand new helicopter up to NC and helped those people. I just started watching this channel early this year. I will now always watch and buy merch because of what you did. You’re truly a great soul. Merry Christmas Brother!
Man that moment when you just felt FREEDOM at 56:35 man this videos has made my day a lot better the smile I’ve got so happy for you y’all glad you had an awesome experience I’m sure new years is gonna be insane keep it up you guys loving every video just WOW
Cleet is a magician. And the presents to the crew show so much how humble you are. The world thanks all of you for allowing us to live through your lens.
Best channel out there by a landslide. Amazing content, family friendly, and 100% genuine people..... does not get any better than this. I came across Cleetus when he was making fun of the "sushi" wing on the GTR then saw him making fun of Fords at Sema. Thought he was hilarious so when this channel came along it was an easy subscribe. Keep up the amazing work. You have surrounded yourself with the right people!
Gotta throw this comment in after watchin all the way through and hearing cleets words but i can say, yall are the reason alot of us get up and keep going and doing what we do because youre like the never ending tv show. You get attched. And for myself over the past what? 9 or 10 years? Ive watched every single video youve put out and probably 3 or 4 times tbh. You guys kept me from killing myself during the eagle build. Just figured id never be able to see eagle done and that kept me going till i realized lifes not worth giving uo cause shits been tough. I just got good and now im here what? 4 years later? And now i got to see eagle and not even that but cleets 2 beautiful children and on top of that the birth of 2 of my own! Which has been a blessing and trust me. Today has tested my strength with starting a new job and a pissy gf after i get home from a 10 hour day, it gets hard. But man when i saw your video come out today and got home to watch it i didnt even much care about the shit i was dealing with, just wanted to watch the video in peace and honestly with that, you guys have given me the drive to work on my cars. My mini wpuld not be here still if it wasnt for yall.(yes i know.. a mini) but its older and rips like a good 4 banger should! And at times watching your vids while fixing or rebuilding the motor has felt at times like yall were there to help me too. Which is somwthing no channel, show, movie, or otherwise can do. Love cleet, his family and the crew thats been able to make a home inside our hearts of millions

okay that RC Heli pilot is one bad mama jama. honestly, one of the coolest things I've seen.
I was NOT expecting that RC helicopter to move like that. Home boy was RIPPING!!
The sounds that thing made are unreal!!!
Looks like AI
Those big Florida mosquitos 😂
It looked fake, like a laggy game!
sound and look like a dragonfly on steroid that took too much meth !
I’m not completely sure why but seeing George this happy and living his best life just fills my heart
I think it's just the pure joy George always has.
Im vicariously living through George
Amen!

Youre freaking awesome Cleetus!!!
This is definitely on my top 10 of all your videos
Hey there, first timer, I’m a Veteran, don’t want to bring this up at all, but as tough as I’ve had it the last 5 years being pushed down with this economy, military buddies passing, financially etc… This video really got to me because the love for this Flag, this country, watching your team work every week, also a huge fan of the channel, it’s refreshing thru your energy, and cool things that you expose and makes it happen, the holidays are tough for me, but i actually smiled and felt great watching this video, Thanks for all the videos, god bless the Freedoms we have, your FF family, Marry Christmas 🎄
Thank you for your service and Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your service sir and Merry Christmas and God be with you.
merry Christmas brother, and thank you for your service!
Merry Christmas to yeah I would also suggest watching unsubscribe podcast very cool group of guys
Stay blessed man!
Don’t forget, the most badass thing you did all year was flying in your freshly overhauled and painted helicopter to North Carolina to help hurricane victims. You didn’t care if your expensive awesome paint job was gonna get all scratched up, you still helped people a ton.
ANYONE who has any experience watching your content knows how much of a patriot you are brother. People like you make me proud to be American.
Thank you for buying an ATC Trailer years ago that I had a hand in building and helping giving our company such great review. It's amazing building trailers for awesome people like you and your team. Gives us on the floor so more meaning.. Also as a short track announcer, I appreciate all you do for short track racing
Anyone have a Cigarette George can borrow? 55:15 😂😂😂😂😂
nah
He finally sounds like a squirrel.
Last year for sure. No more of that garbage for me!
I got a doobie he can have otherwise I don't smoke tobacco😂. I would go buy George a pack tho if he really wanted them😂
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂 i got a doobie for the Hemi brothers
Lost my grandpa Saturday night/Sunday morning and this video really just lifted my spirits so much. Thank you for what you do Cleet.
Hope everything's alright brother, and rest in peace to your grandfather
My condolences sir. May he rest in peace.
Sorry for your lost
Hope you guys find him soon 🙌
Thoughts and prayers , rest in peace to your grandfather
Cleetus and crew, you are more than deserving. Every year, you've found ways to give back. You bought and restored a helicopter, then immediately used it to rescue people! That's why we stay, because you represent the values of your viewers and true Americans. 👍 🇺🇸
1:16:08 Culvers in Florida??? HELL YEAH
hell yeah brother. garret you are a standup example of a human being, couldn’t be more proud to say i’ve been watching you religiously for nearly 7 years now.
Meanwhile, he's promoting gambling two days before Christmas, on a channel watched by lots of young kids... 🥴
@@Studio23Media he’s a good dude, not a priest…
@@Studio23Mediait's ad revenue, no need to be a turd
@@Studio23Mediacry me a fucking river he doesnt specifically gear his content towards children if children are watching its their parents faukt not him
@@Studio23Media Cleetus could show a video of him & his crew saving a box of puppies from a burning building while wrapping them in an American flag & there will always be some Karen like you posting negativity. He’s gotta keep making a living to keep all this going. If you don’t like it go watch some knitting videos.
26:38 - Editing in footage from the security cameras is super creative! A+ for that idea.
Looks like a street takeover moment.
The fact that Cleetus first thought after hitting the flagpole was to get the American flag off the ground shows how much of a real American he is.
There was sooooo much fun in this video. But the biggest thing I took from this is how much Cleetus cares for his friends and employees. THE best channel on the internet. HELL YEAH BROTHER! Merry Christmas
OMG. It's a flag. Get over it. It being on the ground for 10 seconds isn't going to hurt anyone.
@@Dylang01Get back in your basement.
@Dylang01 tell me you're a communist without telling me you're a communist
@@Dylang01 That flag represents all that is good about our country and the men and women who gave their lives so we can enjoy our freedom. I could go on for another fifty-thousand words, but we all get it and dammit, Garrett gets it, too. He showed us all how passionate he is and that's a great thing to witness. If you're so upset about just a piece of cloth, you truly don't appreciate what we have. Merry Christmas.
More likely he's aware of the nutjobs who would be forced into action if he hadn't shown enough respect, in the nutjobs opinions.
I respect you owning up to the mistake, and how you were the first to pick up the flag, the other guys didn't move, replace it with one that when your flying you can point to it.
Hell yeah brother
2:50 no worries brother! You immediately picked that flag up off the ground 💪 clearly an accident ❤
Lol Americans
I can’t tell if this is a bit?
@@peter625tt the funny thing is i dont think it is hahahahah cleeeeet genuuuu wineeely felt bad hahaha
@thecremeegg We don't have dead monarchs to represent the State. Our flag stands in as King 🤷♂️
I agree but if he’s planning on replacing it I think he should take it to a place where they burn the flags in respect
1:25:24 Youve built an absolute EMPIRE brother. An EMPIRE!
Be proud of yourselves. Everyone involved.
Why? Exploiting others for financial gain?

As a current service member, the respect and admiration you have for the US and the Flag says enough brother. So much more than most people today.
Damn. Grown ass man sitting here balling because how amazing and sincere the end of the video is. Much love cleetus and family
It really hits home honestly. I’ve watched every single video this channel has ever put out since 2017 from the days of turbo whistles, buying leroy and Ed the neighbor. Just being along for the ride every step of the way and watching all the growth and success, it really could not have happened to a better, more deserving guy.
@mattyicee absolutely me as well
I'm an RC heli guy and I've been dying to see a pro flyer on this channel for years. You picked a great one. Thank you.
Merry Christmas everybody!!!
How much does something like that cost?! Absolutely insane. The response alone is mind blowing.
@@Fishing_Fiddles He has about $3K in his. I usually put about $2K in mine. The big thing is the crashes and they happen a lot. I gave it up when I retired because I was spending well over $10K a year. Just a simple tip over from a hover one inch off the ground can cost $1K. I got big respect for the pros that stuck it out and finally started making money doing it. It was all overhead for me. lol
@@Fishing_Fiddles I just posted some pics of my favorites helis I've had over the years. In my community tab if you're interested. I always preferred the nitro helis even though the electrics are way more powerful.
@mckrackin5324 Rad! I'm surprised they aren't more expensive, but that's still a spendy crash.
I'm waiting for them to try FPV flying someday :)
33:32 that RC helicopter threw everything i know about physics out the door 😅😅
Thing looks like a dragonfly moving around like that
That had my jaw on the floor
@@DieselGuy-jk3zpwhen you see a dragonfly sippin on your natty ice, and then it takes off.
Let's go, Ben!! Great flight man!!
Felt even more insane at 2x speed
You all deserve everything!! So happy for you all!! Literally living the dream!!!
As a huge RC heli enthusiast and pilot, it makes me extremely happy to see someone as notable as Ben show you and your followers the awesome world of our hobby.
would be cool to see it from a little pov camera in the cockpit. know of any footage?
It honestly feels like he has a "physics off" switch on his remote. The control and coordination is INSANE. I've always wanted an RC heli but never had one, never even flew one. A proper one with all the channels (not those coax or fixed collective ones) would be so sweet.. My fingers are tingling ngl. I feel like I'm still in shock over what I just saw
@cbrackin531 Unfortunately there isn't a ton of footage of FPV from helis. This guy is one of the best pilots though and has a few shorts of him flying with a camera mounted from the boom. It would be really hard to get actual FPV footage from the inside of the heli because of how they're set up. You have both the ESC and the batteries to contend with. This is about as close as it gets.
I am reminded of a dragonfly when I see this chopper fly. But the sound they make is beautiful yet frighteningly angry. 😂❤
@@cbrackin531 I think I would get motion sickness from it. 🤮
Cleet and crew. Thank you. For years of entertainment, knowledge, passion, and just ludicrous fun. I’m both jealous and extremely happy for you all.
I owe my entire career to you, man. If I wouldn't have been in the right place at the right time filming you all those years at SCT Denver (Bribing you with a Mountain Dew to let me put a GoPro on Leroy) and FL2K18 I would've never met Javier from TRC and ended up in the position I am now. It's been awesome watching you grow as a person and entertainer and can't wait to see what's next for you guys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the years of entertainment and for helping me get where I am today.
You film for TRC?
@ sure do!
Brother, I don't think anyone could ever question your love for our country or our flag. You didn't disrespect Ol' Glory, you made room for bigger freedom!
Almost teared up seeing you so passionate about your crew. Says alot about the man you are. The world needs more Cleet’s out there. Merry Christmas brother!!!
Cleetus truly makes me proud to be an American. The man just gives so much, so selflessly. Loves his family, loves his crew, loves AMERICA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I cant think of another youtube personality who has handled their business and the struggles of scale the way you have. You have built a great team and stayed true to your values, letting the chips fall where they may. Congratulations on another great year. Happy to continue support you as others you have drawn into your circle. You continue to earn the success coming your way.
.....im blown away by the rc plain gift.....out of words.
Brother your the definition of AMERICA. 🇺🇸
Huge fan of this channel, bunch of legends. Merry Christmas
Andy my man
The legend himself
3:32 The quick reaction time of running to pick it up off of the ground shows more RESPECT then Disrespect of crashing into it. MERICA!!!!
His whole brand is about freedom to it is obvious it was not on purpose
That was awesome lol. Much respect for how you ran to the flag to pick it up off the ground. You are a true American!
Way to be brother, this is the kind of American pride that needs to come back to this country. Thank you for sharing your patriotism.
Your one of the few who I truly believe feels the gratitude of our watching , buying and supporting you, I’ve watched since the turbo whistle days, two goofy kids having fun, you have always come off as a genuine good person and people are drawn to it, don’t ever change brother.
Went to my first event last weekend. His whole team is awesome.
One of the larger dealership groups in Fort Wayne Indiana has the largest flag and pole I've ever seen. The Freedom Factory needs this!! You can see it above buildings miles away!
the good ole' glenbrook flag. Hopefully the new pole doesnt fall like the first one.
Buds Chevy in St Mary’s, OH has a massive one too
Huge flags are a big money pit
Need to get in touch with whoever put the one at COTA
Glenbrook Dodge boys! Good to see some local 260 people in the comment section lmao.
From humble beginnings to now and full-fledged corporation, congratulations to you and your amazing team. Been watching from the simple yt video days all the way up to the freedom factory videos. You've always brought entertainment to us. Thank you brother
I gotta tell you brotha, I’m 48yrs old and Dale sr was my hero growing up. I stopped watching nascar after the tragic accident in 2001 but drag racing has always been something I loved. That being said the way you handle your self and how good you treat others, you’re truly my hero now. I’ve been watching your channel for many years and I’m so happy what it’s turned into. You’re a true inspiration for young and old. Keep up the the amazing work/content, and giving back to the community just like Dale did. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all your hard working employees.
Dale sr dying in a way that he did was a tragedy of course.Watching Cleet and rest of guys using their HANS device warms my heart.Did you know that Dale sr.refused to wear HANS device because it would be like hangman s noose according to him.His death was caused by same injury which is caused by hanging,fracture in base of your skull.Hans device is designed to prevent exactly this injury.
Love nascar but cleetus is something that Dale will never be, a good father.
The Dale disrespect is unnecessary. People loved him because he was the real deal, no fuss racin. Don’t drag down a hopeful comment just because you aren’t a fan of dale sr
@@quincart4534 Dale is dead so Dale will never be a good father makes no sense to me at least.
@@quincart4534 We don t know how good or bad father Cleet is nor is it our place to rate him as such.Make sure you are your best at being dad.
The most blessed and luckiest work crew in the world. Imagine getting to do what they do every day and having someone has fun and kind hearted at Cleetus for a boss
20-year Retired Air Force Veteran here. Accidents happen, if you look it up there is a way to properly dispose of a flag after something like this happens. IF it matters at all, I forgive you and I am pretty sure any person who matters forgives you and understands the situation. Hell yea, brother! Keep making America great, one video at a time.
Strait up salute brother✌
Thank you for your service brother
@jackle2141 thanks for keeping the sky's safe. Hope you and yours have a merry Christmas.
The live stream from the Christmas tree race was right on No problems.Merry Christmas to all of you.🎄
You can take an injured American flag to any Boy Scout troop to have it decommissioned properly.
You are awesome Cleet to do this for your staff. Most people can follow your example,it warms my heart that you care about the people around you and surprise them. I wish that most people be more like you brother. Merry Christmas and Happy Newyear for you,your family and friends,btw for everybody reading this.
Ben with the RC helicopter was top 5 the greatest things I've ever seen online. The mechanics and physics involved are mind blowing. Very, VERY Cool!
During g demo flight, Cleetus was bringing back memories of that video where Daryl Waltrip was in a V8 Supercar at Mt. Panorama.
Brother the fact you jumped out and immediately picked ol glory up off the ground shows how you feel. You're an amazing American and nobody that's a true fan would think any different.
brother you did right by getting right out and picking her up hahaha all good Cleet
Exactly. He noticed and immediately got over there to pick it up, and Mr Sam was right there with the assist
All is forgiven. Everyone knows you are a great American 🇺🇸
Looks like an insanely good time with the crew. Amazing gifts and the look on everyone's face says it all. God bless brother, here's to more fun in 25' 💯
As a veteran, no disrespect taken whatsoever!!! You immediately picked O 4:32 le’ Glory up and showed her respect!! Hell Yeah Brother!! No one here thinks you have anything but respect for the greatest country and flag on earth!
Round of applause for all the employees across all the businesses.
1:17:31 George almost ran over the camera guy 😂 😂
So awesome to see you constantly giving back and constantly thankful. God is good.
I never feel bad after watching a Cleetus video. Thanks for never making me regret being a viewer.. Sometimes the right guy gets famous, and im glad i had a part.
Brother you do not need to apologize about hitting the flagpole. We appreciate your patriotism to the country but understand that we know that you never mean any harm. And we all love the content and are super glad you decided to post a clip! Have a great holidays with the family love you brother 🙏💯
Appreciate you brother!
💯
It was needed to be said, otherwise a bunch of morons wouldve exploided lol
31:00 his smile when y’all told him yall had a surprise for him was golden
35:00 I havent jumped and stared in awe of what I was seeing in a long time. That was awesome
32:44 Ben's heli flying is as unpredictable as George's plane flying. Seriously though, the whole team has been killing it this last year. I said the same last year, but they all are just consistently crushing it. I'm glad Garrett shows love and appreciation for his amazing workers/friends. He seems like the perfect person to work for or just be friends with, not because of the gifts but because of the true love he has for people, skills, and fun that comes through in everything he does.
I'm eternally grateful for everything Garrett has done for the motorsport community. Not just locally, but worldwide. He is an icon even here in Norway where we normally only care about things driving sideways or up mountains. But Cleetus can make even us open our eyes and love a pure drag racing video because of the passion and fun that comes through, even in frustrating times.
32:46 when an rc helicopter pilot hits black belt ninja status.
That was incredible!
This has GOT to be the most gratifying, awesome, most epic job anyone can have man. Literally I’m not joking, having cleet for a boss has got to be the coolest and most badass thing ever!!
He treats his crew so good man and shares his success with the people close to him and it’s so awesome to watch.
Working for this man is a dream! Let’s goo!
You are a very gifted person and have a loyal team that has your back when needed.
You get paid for what you do because you have an amazing personality, and it draws in fans! On top of that, you have the skills necessary to choose the right employees to work with you, and to manage all of the chaos. Give yourself a pat on the back, without your vision, and drive, none of this would be possible.
It is truly great to see you succeed in such a big way, and to bring your crew along for the ride.
I think a big part of this success is that you include the families of everyone you work with too. This job would be hard if they were working that much and not seeing family, but the fact that they get to see all the events and spend time with them there really helps I bet. Props to all of them taking care of home while these guys are away at events.
As a viewer, I want to thank you Cleet and the whole entire team for the hard work you guys put in. This is truly remarkable. This channel quickly became my favorite channel the day you posted the "we bought an abandonned racetrack" video. Thank you for the amazing content!
Oh MyGosh! what a video. I am still trying to absorb the full video. I think I could sum it up like this.. you all are a blueprint of America. Hugs
Cleetus buddy you and your team are a true inspiration. You bring so many people so much joy in a world where everything around us is negative. What you did in North Carolina was amazing and something to be proud of. That even got my 65 year old mom watching you and cheering for you. So I would like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You are one of a kind. Please don’t ever stop.
1:17:30 George almost taking out the camera man 😅🤣
He definitely had an "Oh shit!" moment
Had to check his undies after that hahah
I havent stopped laughing LMFAO
Went looking for this comment! 🤣🤣
@@brendansteeman6540 Same🤣🤣🤣
Having a boss who appreciates his employees and knows without them most things wouldn't be possible is one of the best things you could ask for if you're one of the people that has to work to survive.
Thank everyone for what you have done for Garrett!!!!!😊 And all who are watching
No problem. The fact that you went to it immediately and showed you were concerned about it makes all the difference. Thanks Cleetus and crew for all you do.
1:17:23 hitting the kill switch on em😂😂😂
I just gotta send a HUGE shout out to the Merch Team! Twice a shirt didn't get delivered, the 3rd one finally did. (Totally a USPS issue) But each time I contacted them they were SUPER professional, empathetic, apologetic and more. They didn't even have to be that nice, but they handled the job like PROS!! Thank you for a fun year Cleeter, excited for more to come!
Hell yeah brother!! 0:58
Cleet you are an amazing human with a great family and amazing friends. We see you working so hard! And real people with real struggles appreciate and value you for it!! Keep it up. Been watching since before leroy. Glad to be part of the family!!
Maaaan, the fact that Garrett started off as in intern and social media guy for Kyle... then now he has the ability to take care of every single one of his friends and show his approach in his own personal way is so awesome!!!
From shoving duck calls in a procharged Ram to having employees who are all family and never a dull moment!
I thought he started off with 1320 not for Kyle?
5:22 lil cleeter is going to follow right in his father's footsteps. I can see it in his eyes
Everyone is jealous as heck for the upbringing Rip will be getting, and all we can hope to do is be able to provide similar to our kids and grandkids down the road!
The end of this video were you speak on how you are grateful for all this, truly showed how much you love what you give all of US in content and I myself couldn't be so happy for you and, all the boys.
God bless you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You are one of my top five UA-camrs ever, probably top three, to be honest. You've been one of my main inspirations for learning more automotive stuff and becoming an even bigger car enthusiast. So thank you for giving many of us something else to be passionate about. I've been watching you for probably 10 years now, and it's been fantastic.
I can tell you're proud of your team and you should be. This is by far the best automotive channel on the internet. Congrats everybody. Nailed it!
Cleetus I know you’re thankful. But I live in Daytona, but I am thankful that you flew your brand new helicopter up to NC and helped those people. I just started watching this channel early this year. I will now always watch and buy merch because of what you did. You’re truly a great soul. Merry Christmas Brother!
Vet right here, I had to pause at 3.27. you jumped right out and picked her up. Hell yea BROTHER! I love what you are doing. MERICA!
Man that moment when you just felt FREEDOM at 56:35 man this videos has made my day a lot better the smile I’ve got so happy for you y’all glad you had an awesome experience I’m sure new years is gonna be insane keep it up you guys loving every video just WOW
Cleet is a magician. And the presents to the crew show so much how humble you are. The world thanks all of you for allowing us to live through your lens.
Best channel out there by a landslide. Amazing content, family friendly, and 100% genuine people..... does not get any better than this. I came across Cleetus when he was making fun of the "sushi" wing on the GTR then saw him making fun of Fords at Sema. Thought he was hilarious so when this channel came along it was an easy subscribe. Keep up the amazing work. You have surrounded yourself with the right people!
Gotta throw this comment in after watchin all the way through and hearing cleets words but i can say, yall are the reason alot of us get up and keep going and doing what we do because youre like the never ending tv show. You get attched. And for myself over the past what? 9 or 10 years? Ive watched every single video youve put out and probably 3 or 4 times tbh. You guys kept me from killing myself during the eagle build. Just figured id never be able to see eagle done and that kept me going till i realized lifes not worth giving uo cause shits been tough. I just got good and now im here what? 4 years later? And now i got to see eagle and not even that but cleets 2 beautiful children and on top of that the birth of 2 of my own! Which has been a blessing and trust me. Today has tested my strength with starting a new job and a pissy gf after i get home from a 10 hour day, it gets hard. But man when i saw your video come out today and got home to watch it i didnt even much care about the shit i was dealing with, just wanted to watch the video in peace and honestly with that, you guys have given me the drive to work on my cars. My mini wpuld not be here still if it wasnt for yall.(yes i know.. a mini) but its older and rips like a good 4 banger should! And at times watching your vids while fixing or rebuilding the motor has felt at times like yall were there to help me too. Which is somwthing no channel, show, movie, or otherwise can do.
Love cleet, his family and the crew thats been able to make a home inside our hearts of millions
