ken block is an awesome guy. amazing driver and an amazing entertainer. he knows what fans want and delivers, even at the potential cost of wrecking. last year at the tall pines rally in bancroft, ontario (yes, he came to canada for a rally and he even brought dave mirra with him for his first rally), i was spectating. the conditions were alot of snow with ice underneath, so it was pretty treacherous. ken got stuck early on and got max lated, so he was out of contention for anything. anyways, after dave pulled him out of the ditch he was hung up on, he did the rest of the stage flat out, completely sideways just for us fans that were standing out there freezing our buns off in the cold. I remember thinking, all the open class cars are done now, everyone is gonna be slow until the next stage starts, then this black/green Sti comes around the turn completely sideways, full throttle, snow everywhere. what a guy. what a driver. i hope he comes back to canada this year too.
cool vid BTW.

Incredible driving, but they spliced it together to make it look like one run. Note the cameras stuck on the side one shot, the roof another, and not at all on several. Regardless of that, he has mad skills and is awesome to watch.
Went go-carting in Vegas last week with Ken Block and Quirt Crawford and a bunch of other Subie yokels at Pole Position.
That was a blast.
