Pfft, he hit the wall.

He drove the **** out of it down to the rims. This is not entertaining at all.

Reminds me of myself coming back from Tesco last night

that's definitely not going to pass it's NCT with that amount of rubber on the back wheels.

He's rapih

Bit of a show-off isn't he? No wonder he's the ultimate hero for your typical boy racer

He's a good stunt driver but I wonder how many takes it takes from him to get it right.

Unfortunately he's pretty **** at WRC. Keeps crashing out all the time and even his stage times aren't great.

Kimi on the other hand is doing really well for a new comer. He does keep crashing out too but he's still doing really good times and also won the last stage of the German Rally. Although that stage was more like a racetrack or one of Ken Block's Gymkhana setups. But still, its pretty cool to come in faster than the likes of Loeb, Ogier, Latavala, Soldberg and all...

Well none of that video was a full take, look at all the differnet camera angles on each turn. Does make for good TV though

Real world video of Ken's driving:

I'd love to be in his passenger seat

Skillful driving none the less, that wouldn't have any effect on "boyracers", not a hope of them even attempting any of that.

To the negative comments, Jealous bastards :P

kildare.17hmr · 15-09-2010 3:29pm

Jealous, I think not.

There's a skill to what he does, and he has acquired it over the years. I'm sure anyone who has been given a car, close to the spec of what he drives, would manage to pull off a few stunts. He gets paid to trash cars, just like the clip shows.

If he did it in one run then fine, but he probably spent the day going over and over the course. And at the end the put all the best bits in, where he didn't crash or make a mistake.

Infact, give any decent WRC driver a car to play with, and tell them to go freestyle, they will pull off the same stunts Block did.

And you reiterating the fact that he gets to trash a new 600 odd bhp Fiesta makes me think your less jealous because...?
