for some reason I find myself being a Block hater

I suppose it is mere jealousy

*andrew now bothers to watch the clip*

yup, I was right, it's jealousy. he is living my dream

and despite the fact that it likely took a bunch of takes to get that all, it remains that everything he does is damn spectacular and impressive

So true... I started off as a Ken Block hater, but the guy can drive like an angel so now I just think he is a genius. Although I don't like all the advertisements around him, but the guy owns DC shoes so... :?

There were a lot of cool shots and I really liked the slow motion shots, but breaking flourecent light bulbs all over the place and on each other? :roll:

I liked the slo-mo driving over fluorescent tubes.

I think he broke those other lights over Rob to vent frustration over doing so many takes. "I need to let out some anger, bring me someone I own!"

That was pretty cool. I'll have to watch again at home so I can turn up the volume. I think they were under a lot of pressure to top the first one. They set the bar pretty high with doing doughnuts around a guy on a moving segway.

Absolutely nuts. I personally liked the driving in the original one better, but both videos are epic IMO. Ken Block can drive.

I can only dream of attempting stuff like that without having to keep looking over my shoulder for the local constabulary.

Looks like soooooo much fun!

I don't like him. He sure can drive, though.

Meh, I liked the first video better. Ken's an amazing driver, but the 2nd vid had way too much "Spike TV"-ish stuff (explosions, slo-mo, goofy props, etc.).

I love how close he came to the edge of the dock at WOT though! :smt103

Yeah I agree that one was a bit more over-the-top than the first video. But the risky stuff like going to the edge of the dock really did it for me.

And speaking of Jesus... that guy at the very end of the video reminded me of this Jesus
