Insane 1st episode thanks guys
I’m not angry I’m disappointed 😢
The best Finke telecast/production /broadcast/episode! But seriously....... Talk about a cliff hanger 😁😁😁😁
Bloody Hell, What an Ending.
Leave me on a cliffhanger like that!?!
I guarantee that cliffhanger has you primed and ready for the video of day 2 to be released!
You know there’s finke results ? 😂
Love Justin talking through the video makes you feel a lot more involved in his experience, in cab footage is wicked
"Wtf just happened" you did a rolly polly lol, Great vid guys
soooooooooo bummed i missed seeing yous this year. but this video makes me think i was there. such a well done series. Im Hooked!!!!!!!!
You’re a beautiful man Justin, your series has me hooked and the footage is spectacular. Great team, beautiful family. Good on ya.
Apart from the great Team set up and race this year you've produced what I think is your best video production to date! Looking forward to part 2 🙂
Outstanding gentlemen much love from New Orleans La USA
This could be the best footage I have seen of Finke. I'm a motorcycle guy, but this was truly awesome.
Say it with me, BundoooMma. Lol. Your team did seriously well this year. Finke is our life in Alice Springs and I have to blow your horn a bit. This so far is the best finke content bar none that I have ever watched. It's amazing the footage that is out there in the spectator world.
Awesome just Awesome
Loving the colour scheme guys 👌👌💪💪
THE END!! great run, twins smashed it!
That set up is looking real hungry mate, good luck getting it upright.
Sensational!!
I just watched Graham from 24/7 go through Finke. Love the episode.
You must be incredibly proud of what you’ve accomplished so far in your life, not only for yourself and family, but all the people you employ! Epic! 💪🏼
Haha, you bastard! Seriously, TOP effort!
Love this series, watch it annually
Would love to come down and check the Finke race out. One day I will!
How awesome you guys,so proud. I'm in or of the achievement of the family. I'm sitting here thinking that I want to start racing again after 20 years. No words amazing
Do it mate!
Exciting!!!
awesome video thx Legends
That was good fun. Thanks for posting. Can't wait for next episode.
the way i got furious in the end, really wanted to see what then happened. Cant wait for part 2
Need to get over these next year
The twins just send it love it. The ending tho
Great video for motivational mood enhancer... now I'm going off-roading ✌️
What a gold ending to an episode!
I feel like you're a gear high a lot of the time. Rev that puppy!!
Great review.
You done yourself a mischief there mate.
That truck was plush in the big whoops !
Awesome, love it all. Keep the excitement coming.
Watching from Botswana ❤ great content PC
Just stumbled upon this vid. What an epic adventure & race! Big respect to you all and thank you for sharing your journey with us!! 👍😎
you guy's this is a epic episode awsome job guys you guy s flying (the twin gogo ) what the f..uk happent justin you where going gr8 ( shit wanna no what the hell happent ) grrr love you guy's footage and filming top work
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
Our pleasure!
What a wicked video. Keep up the great work..from where I'm sitting on my couch, the only advice I can offer about how your truck is handling is, hold it to the floor and have a blast. That truck will handle all and more you can chuck at it : )
Wow awesome episode guys!
Hell yes....been waiting ages for this video and yas haven't disappointed 💪👊
Great finke racing guys 🤙🤙🤙it Great us back service 7
Videos all was sick as aspiration
Top quality Episode lads can not wait to see the next one
Did anyone notice, Sarah said the exact same words when Justin had a bad lap. *It looked Good* and in the same tone of voice!
Let's goooo... was waiting for this video. Love the new colours
Justin you can’t leave us hanging like that 😬
What a gold ending to an episode!. The twins just send it love it. The ending tho.
Great drive always got next year
No Way For Fs😭Thats a ending i did not see coming🤣
another great episode !!
Love it
Fine is a race between yourself and disappointment 🤙🏼 oh and if you would like to add a bike to the crew for next year I'll happily swing a leg over one for the team!!! Awesome prologue twins and clean driving juz! Sometimes overthinking slows you up enough to not kill the truck!!
Would love to see you guys down at the Sea Lake Mallee Rally if it ever runs again
Yea the boys👍🤙
Of courseeeeeeee
love the content guys keep it up 🤙
U can't leave us hang like that 🤯
Don't take this the wrong way Justin, but 😂😂 that's the way to go mate, you guys were BRINGING IT what better way to go out, you will be much better equipped next year as you already paid for it this year, always do your best and your best years are always ahead of you mate...
Tough learning curve mate 👍
I was on edge this whole video. You just needed to hold on and focus just a little bit longer!
I must say these big Trucks are the fastest ones out there.I chased a Can Am buggy on my Raptor700 in Sand dunes & was left behind.
Don’t leave me hanging like that. I literally stayed up an hour past my bedtime and this is the cliffhanger you leave me on.
🎉
Higher driving seat position may give better view of the track.
"WTF Justin happened" 😉
Damnnnn😢😢😢😢
Why don't you guys incorporate paddle shifters, this gives the twins easier to focus and handle.
Do you guys race with the hens devices to protect your necks?
The boys
I wish being u guys for years
What's the running gear of 1088? I'm guessing a VQ25 with a 5 speed sequential box?
noooo the end flip!!!!!!
Sure I have watched Patriot games - for a long while, but - is Justin a real race driver or "merely" an offroad enthusiast - willing to pay to play, rather than compete to win (control vs manage - business or hobby... Own vs Drive ??) ??. Small business, free enterprise - make your own future - what voice... - ... your own - ..- roar good guys, roar... Of course champions are BUILT NOT BOUGHT. lol. get going.
NOT THE FLIP AT THE END
FINKE ANY DAY..
GO HARD..RUGGED OR NOTINGH..
U always have to do better then what your dad did go boys but love the old man
What is the name of the intro song??
The footage at 6:40 anyone else think it needs a faster steering rack? maybe 20% more? Seemed sluggish
Nahh no way 😭
only watched the first truck race so far, and the guy feeling down about it...the sons were smooth, calm, co-ordinated, almost one pace all the way...Dad was abit hesitant, and the truck seemed to bound to much for my liking..your loose time bounding, and you nearly stopped near the end at the banked wall...if you could be as relaxed when driving as you are when talking in the video sitting in the workshop, you would do better in my opinion
Can u put a camera on the truck and go go live so we can see the whole race don't know if you can do it but could you if you can maybe live on Instagram to so we can see you do the whole race
Maybe not a live because then there wouldn’t be any point of an episode like this.
haha the media guys have enough stress just hoping the cameras make it to the end of the race. I don't think they could handle the stress of a live setup 😂
Noooooooooooo😮😢 not a roll over 😢
first comment
Nooooooooooooooooo
Did you die?
Yeah 😂😂
Had to turn off unfortunately because of that annoying music.
РОССИЮ ПРИГЛАСИТЕ ?
28:48 why is that needed FFS
👋✌️🤙👍😎🇺🇦
