Default new ken block video

after watching this I don't think it is as hard as it looks. I am going to go try it out right now.

Very nice. Not to take anything away from Ken [a generic rally driver] but look at the skid marks. How many takes did he need per corner ? LOL

Awesome video though

here is a bonus video of the first one if you ever saw it(the segway video one).



And after just a short afternoon practicing I have to agree with marcus WFT with all the extra skidmarks? This is stuff that any nascar driver should be able to do.

If you can't do the first time then just go home!

i really hope you're joking...

you're going to compare a bunch of guys who drive is circles all day to someone who's going and doing controlled slides and some very technical driving??? and last i checked, most of the Nascar guys barely even race on dirt, much less sand, ice, and mud.

maybe you need to check again... Nascar first started out in the sand on beaches then formed into dirt tracks. a lot of the drivers come from dirt track racing as well. also Nascar racing takes a lot of skill as does Rally racing but they are not comparable. Also you have to factor in.... Ken didn't accomplish all of his stunts in one try. this takes hours and hours of practice. trying it over and over to get it done right. so whats it matter if he races on dirt,sand,ice,snow, or mud. Ive personally gone to a rally and seen him drive. its a fun event but he doesnt have to worry about his opponents infront,behind, or on either side of him. so before you come out like an ass and say Nascar is a bunch of guys driving in a circle. do some research.

yea but the only problem with that is NASCAR no longer races in dirt or sand, and the drivers who did race at those times no longer race. Don't get me wrong NASCAR drivers are very skilled on the tarmac and they're avg speeds during the race is incredible but I think I would enjoy watching a rally race just because the track is extremely narrow and there are tons of hairpin turns and trees to look out for
