Not really my thing, but this was pretty cool. Not sure if the driving or editing is better though. Enjoy.

Not that Ken fucking Block again. Is that motherfucker annoying or what.

That dude is an idiot, he knows shit about driving, is nothing but an hollywood/American type of shit total fabrication.

If you want real driving, check out these fuckers, you'll piss your pants with what they can do:

Just to name a few. Anyone that knows about rally driving, will easily admit that Ken Block is an utter joke.

I don't mind Ken Block videos, those videos you posted are knarly too. relax bro lol
 
^^^^ This, he's just a stunt driver.

None of what he does in that video is technically very challenging or even that fast, especially considering he's doing a dry road with soft racing slicks. He spends a lot of time doing doughnuts which any idiot with an unlimited budget for tyres can do.

FFS, I've done a jump like that in an underpants-blue Rover 213 over a humpback bridge pumping out Ride of the Valkyries on my stereo. (admittedly, the Rover didn't drive very well after I'd finished, but heh, I'd did it)

Juha Kankkunen could do more impressive stuff than that on ice.

EDIT: I think this may be my equivalent of "elbows too pointy, 2/10."
 
Ken Block is a great driver, doesn't do very well in actual rally though. Until you can post a video of you driving better than him you cant call him a shitty driver.

Click to expand...

I wouldn't say he's shitty, just hugely overrated. He's no better than a lot of other stunt drivers who are a lot less famous. (and no, I don't have videos of me driving better. Of course I'm not even 1/10th as good a driver as Ken Block. The UK police have several videos of my driving from when I was younger, but for some reason they never seemed to agree with me what examples of excellent car control they were. )

Here was the ice thing:
