So you think you can drive, eh!!

Not just the moves, it's the speed he does them at

Nice. But very cleverly edited.

Cant deny he is probably a much better driver than me, BUT, just look at his track record in world rally. He smashed everything up. These "edited" gymkhana's are just that, all the good bits added together for marketing.

Not taking away anything as enjoyable to watch, but not exactly the full story.......


edited to add, he hit the wall at 1min 25secs.....

Just look at all the marks from previous takes. Maybe that's why he didn't do so well in WRC.

Whilst he is obviously a great driver, its all very well presented which is what makes it look so good. Rally driving in general is the most impressive motorsport and thats where the drivers true skill emerges, (just see how well kimi did when trying rallying or martin brundle!
Its this sort of driving that makes me realise how good drivers can be:

Without meaning to blow my trumpet, Im quite good at autosolos and autotests, won a fair few awards at local club level, but these guys show the difference between being good and being superb!

think this one sums up whats edited out of his video's. Just watch at about 50 seconds in. Bet that wasnt planned.
Ken block impressive slide at 53 seconds

totally agree with the comments on the editing of the latest bits from Ken, he is improving in WRC, no doubt about it - he just not quite there yet

heres some footage of him in a mk2 escort - no fancy editing here
