Yeah... I'll give him a 7/10 overall... lol

Seriously, I watched that entire thing with my jaw hanging open. Even though it was obvious there were multiple takes (see how the camera mounts change position on the car, also the damage to the rear end isn't present in every shot post-skidpan).

"Pretty good driving" ftw!

And that guy on the Segway deserves a medal... for something... lol

 

[snickells]

I want a massive old airport where I can thrash around in a subby too! Bastard...

 

[matchtheclown]

The driving is pretty fantastic. Like he does amazing shit...


But then I think about Fast and the Furious Tyko Drift..... I know it's all LOL right...

It would guess that Ken Block would do to an S15 through that first high rise carpark the same thing that american kid did.

How real do you think the driving was in that movie btw? Do you think that 350Z was really drifted all the way up that car park? That was beautiful driving IMO.

Japans Drift King > Ken Block.

Very cool video... Then again, when you own DCSHOECOUSA; own the airfield that the video is on.... it makes it alot easier to get that good

Awsome video tho, I have a exported hi res version on my comp.

Remember he started to rally in 2005 after selling DC's to Quicksilver in 2004 for a reported us$20+m. He is now employed by them as Chief Brand Officer so still gets to choose how the stuff looks. Personally I love my DC's and rarely have worn anything else for about 10 years, lol
