Tire and wheel companies must love that. I guess the big lever in the center is the hand brake?

Yes, it's a bias brake.

More proof that rally racers are the most highly skilled drivers in motorsports.

that is absolutely bad ass. He does have some great skills and much better than the "bow-staff."

Imagine going for a ride shotgun in that car? What a beating that engine and tires take. I bet he went though a fews sets just to make that video.

Darn I love to watch his vids. Ken Block is the man and has very much skill. I would love to ride as a passenger.

Admittedly Block is a decent driver when he has the opportunity to choreograph and endlessly practice before the camera rolls.

However, comparatively speaking he's been sucking hind tit at the World Rally level.... To his credit he readily admits the ghymkhana vids are targeted to the xgames crowd much more than a test of rallying skills.

Here's some footage of the current WRC #1 in Norway in 09

Ken Block hasn't been racing Rally since he could reach the pedals unlike other rally drivers from Finland or Norway.

Ken's biggest sponsor should be a Avis or Hertz, that's how we all drive rental cars, just makes sense.

Re: It's no street bike, but still looks like a blast

Google "Nitro Circus" or Travis Pastrana.
They do this stuff in their backyard on a regular basis...
