    It was alright, the first one was better because it was just straight driving. This one was alittle too dramatic, some of which was kind of cool. But I guess this video had a diffrent purpose then just to show some bad ass skillz. I like how you could see the rear and front wheels spining exactly the same in all of the slo-mo, what magical Diffs! I'd give it a 3 out of 5. No real amazing stunts.

    No real amazing stunts? Were we watching the same video?

    This take a ton more skill and precision than just jumping a rally car off a ramp

    Yeah if you take out all the special effects can you say that there was anything really mind blowing. He is a good driver but essentially he was just drifting a coruse through those things. It would be much more amazing to see him use these skills in a real rally like this, from 3:25.

    Ken Block doesnt rally....he dopes the Xgames version of rally racing...which involves him driving around a stadium filled with dirt doing stuff like the videos. which didnt impress me that much (the xgames not the video)

    I agree, that's why I'd like to see how he would fair in the WRC. I mean I'm not trying to down on the guy but when I think of Impreza drivers I think of Coilin McRae, Richard Burns, and Petter Solberg.

    Mcrae at the xgames....its not that great they spend about 20 seconds off-road and all drive the same car....but Ken Block can still drive a car pretty well.


    btw...this is funny

    ken block is a good driver. people with no skill at all tend to hate on those that do have it. the second is great for the artistic side and gave some great angles to see what the car is doing.

    Hey cool! Thanks for pointing it out! My fault for jumping to conclusions. I knew he was in the SUbaru Rally team America but I didn't know he was going to other countries already, that's great for Ken.

    But ok, my point! See in the New York video. He could be using he Gymkhana skills to take all those turns and hairpins, right?
    Those snow and gravel shots look really good though.

    And I'm not hating, I'm just comparing him to the big names in Rallying. Ken even said it himself in one of those videos. I think Ken is a good driver and I'd like to see him in a $350,000 Impreza competing in Rallies, but in reality the WRC drivers are in a diffrent level.

    I hate on this guy! haha because he won the drivers Championship 5 years in a row.

    But anyways WRC drivers do whatever it takes to make points and keep their cars in the rally. Case and point! Sebastian Leob.
