I 'd hate to be a cop trying to stop him on a public road if he ever decided to go loose. That guy can drive.

Catching him would be easy, just stand on side of road with 'spike strip' and wait 'til he goes past on one of his couple o' hundred practices.
Yes he can kinda drive but you'd expect that because of the amount of time he practices.
I'll end with saying, HE AINT NO SCANDINAVIAN haha.

Green with envy much!
Personally, for outright skill on wheels, I prefer to watch Danny MacAskill, but Ken Block's gymkanas are well filmed and highlight some totally impressive abilities, and there is not a man on this mb that could outdrive him.Except maybe Jazz in a 2.0L diesel Tourag with a DSG box.

anyone could do that with all the time and practice he gets. look as his rally results, he constantly fails to do well on a course he cant do day after day, time after time.

Ah, someone mentioned Danny MacAskill, extraordinary bicycle rider. Here's a vid of him at work:
Pretty good eh, but there again he's got skill in his name

Yep.My 7 year old son absorbs everything he can by Danny.I rue the day he starts trying to replicate some of those tricks, I've already seen him mentally measuring the height of the shed.I think he'd have a go if he could just work out how to get his bike up there in the first place.

the video looks good because he had like 12 goes at every corner and the took the best looking edit.anyone can do that.(and yes, i can heli around a cone no sweat thanks). im sure if i had 12 goes at a gymkana course and edited up all the best corners id look like a god too.

He's got a huge amount of talent and also makes an awesome pair of snowboarding footwear to boot (no pun intended)

Anybody who knocks him should post video of themselves doing at least 1/4 of what he can do. And yes there were lots of marks wear he had already been but im sure he would done a few receys first as would anyone. Its not like he had a co pilot with pass notes.

dont want to sound like a simpleton (again) but how did he get a city empty to play in!

Give me a 1/4 of his money and I will.
Is Ken Block a very good driver. Yes. Is he a great driver! No. In that vid there was, to me, only one piece of properly skilled driving, and that was going up the hairpin road - that was good to watch.

I have seen several of Ken Blocks vids, was impressed, but thought it interesting when he was interviewed at the latest rally here. He said he was here to learn, then we never heard about him featuring in the results, just goes to show just how good the big boys really are.
