The driving is one thing. I won't discount Ken Block's skill but the whole thing does lose a bit of its charm once you realize it's done with several takes.

I'm fascinated by the diverse kinds of tricks and conditions that these videos take place in. The banked road was my favorite as trying to maneuver the car while on that steep of a slant looks really awesome. The 2nd video incorporated a lot of very unique elements as well.

Really cool stuff.

when you have sponsors like that you can ride on VOLKS without tires if you want

if those were ROTAS.... they would have broken or warped

)

Ken block is a boss. If I got to choose the Top Gear America hosts it would include Block for sure! Pastrana would also be in the mix.
