Focus RS
thats what I used to think till I went back and watched it again... it looks so tame in comparison to his newer stuff. I just think people remember the first one being a lot better than it is cause it was the first vid of anyone doing anything like that, so it blew everyone's mind. then the rest were like, "meh, I'ver already seen that"
I think the best one was the San Francisco one, followed closely by the Mustang one cause that car is da SH*T!

The mustang one was fun to watch, though. Only because I liked the car LOL
Excluding the original vid, SF is up there for me, too.

I don't have a short attention span. I've watched pretty much all of jafromobile's youtube video's all the way through, and some of that stuff is long. But it's also interesting. Ken Block and hooniganism doesn't really "interest" me. Its basically the same thing every time, just a different place, car, and lines. Meh...

So you don't like root, which Is the stunt driving? I used to wait anxiously for new Gymkhana videos. I used to like watching, but now I can predict what's going to happen next;
Launch car
Slide backward around an immovable object.
Donut
Drift some wide, open space at a high rate of speed.
Donut
Perform a small jump
Backward drift around a pole
Donut
You could say that. It just doesn't impress me. You can see it takes several attempts to get each shot, it's like his trip through gymkhana land is one seamless "lap". To me it's not really a massive display of skill, like say, driving an F1 or WRC car competitively. There are no retakes in racing, and Ken Block has failed miserably in his racing efforts...lol

this is general opinion of mine on KB criticism.
I do not think Ken Block failed his racing carrier miserably as was mentioned. He still runned in a first 15 in the WRC.
That is pretty good for my standards. The first 20 guys in WRC just have a stunning driving skill there is no way around that.
They are tenth of the sec or less from each other in each corner... You would understand the weight of that fact as soon as you sit in a rally car
if you ever will sit in a WRC car when one of these guys driving you around, you would understand how far we are behind them in driving skills.
Even if you sit in Group N car at WRC level.
Ken Block is a really good driver. He is a kind of clown, but there is nothing we should taking away from him as a driver.
Wr all know he def. a good entertainment for anyone who likes Motorsport.
There is a reason why EVERYBODY even those who talks **** about him walks away from the stages smile on they face after he passed by, flying or super sideways s etc.
For me he is the American Gigi Gialli. lol
