  • Ken Block does his thing

    In case anyone missed this yesterday.

    He jumped the shark with that one. The first three were pretty bad ass demonstrations of driving. That one had a couple good moments (Epic meal time guys) but the special effects and Bollywood stuff were a total fail for me.
    That which you manifest is before you.

        add a hand brake to a car and thats what you can do..
        lets see it done with throttle control and no hand brake.. like it was done before the drifting world..

          Yeah, the snowboard park vid was the best one I think. He actually hurt himself pretty bad filming that. Back injury if I remember right.

            Most of the drifting guys have a hand brake.

                @Brian Lohnes I agree the first 3 were awesome this one was to Hollywood for me, but I guess that what happens when you get popular. It still a great car video that will have all the kiddies doing stupid things with their civics. I'm just glad he's in a ford.. for now.

                @Stich496 handbrake or not it takes skill. I think Tanner Foust and Vaughn Gittin jr are better but its cool that people think cars are cool again. In stead of people thinking NASCAR is all of motorsports.

                @VTJUNK Yeah the one where he jumped and over shot the landing by a ton? I think he messed a vertebrate up :x

                  seemed more for kids this time.
                  of course I am older now than I was for the last one.

                    Somebody is full of crap, as usual.

                    As a sorta acquaintance of some of the DC Shoes guys, I have to tell you I don't begrudge any one of them their talent, or money. That video is different, but as fun to watch as ever.

                    Me and my freinds, we used to "drift" before it was uh, invented...when those old T/A Radials I paid so much for new got down to where the tread didn't show any more, all four of 'em got finished off in spectacular fashion. That included lots of dirt lot stuff, a couple of good curb hits and one particular incident involving clearing off a hillside of bushes, and the Glendale CA Police. Having a slight REAL clue as to what it takes to get a car to do those things, my hat is off to Block once again.

                            LOREN won't brag but I will! He was a Mullholland racer back in the day, he had a V8 Vega and apparently no fear. People would not race with him after a while. When I met him the Vega was being re-done and I "got to" sand the primer...
