The guy on the Segway :eek:

That Subie sounded meeean.

[ragu]

WOW, that was awesome!

[dino_martini]

Bah... I am to Ken Block as Ben Kenobi was to Luke Skywalker...;)

[rc2002]

Some nice driving. Looks like he smoked the rear bumper into the concrete block at about the 2:20 mark though.

*edit*
Looks like some wood planks on closer inspection.

for sure there would have to be some power going to the front wheels for him to hold that kind of angle

[iblizzard]

I loved the "Slow Down" sign.

[EM1FTW]

that was INSANE

[nightfx]

:rofl: @ the guy on the segway

[ekguy]

nuts for sure...That hangar looks fun. I've had the pleasure of doing donuts in a car in an abandoned building back home and concrete in hangars and buildings is damn slippery compared to pave....it's sooo much fun though.

i dont think anyone on beyond compares his/her driving skill to a pro rally driver..:rolleyes:

edit: actually, where are the top 10 (out of 11) Alberta top drifters?:devil:

[HiSpec]

that was a tight hair pin @3:03

[shin0bi]

I'd love to see him drive a more pedestrian car. I'm sure he could do some pretty amazing stuff with a tercel too!

[1997GSR]

yeah he is OK. :D

what do you expect? we do not have the same amount of people or sponsorship of other countries. he did pretty good for going down there with what is basically a street car.

but next year drifting out west is stepping it up to a whole new level and it will be ran like any other "professional" (for canada) motor sport

Loved it, the video was sooooo intence !

[canadianskyline]

Cool video. But I don't really see how this makes him a great driver.

Block is a good driver (because of his rally experience), but shit like this really doesn't take much skill if you know what you're doing at all, especially in a 530hp subie.

Anyway, cool vid, but there are a shitload of people even on this forum that could do that if you give em a 300 foot wide runway, lol. Kinda lame too they call this gymkhana....lol real gymkhana is like 60km/h tops.

[eglove]

that was unbelievable, i want a 720p version of that. haha.

don't get me wrong, much respect for really pursuing it and getting into it. thats great and i do honestly hope he does well...
i just find most of his posts stupid annoying, he just needs to get over himself

edit: you know and i know that beyond is no longer a car enthusiast forum...its mindless entertainment

Im making fun of those members who always claim to have mad driving skill who seem to always criticize others driving mistakes or even the driving methods of professional drivers.:thumbsup:

[canadianskyline]

Hey, I never said it wasn't a sweet video, I very much enjoyed it.

Just sayin that technically it's not really gymkhana, and that his rally driving is like 10x more difficult than this playing around.

Anyway.

[Ukyo8]

That was some intense driving :thumbsup:

has anyone found a better quality version for download? i can only get a crappy 17.7mb one off his site

Gymkhana is just automotive figure skating (More so than drifting). The available size of the track dictates the speed of the event, there is no max speed limit. This track was definitely easier than others that I've seen but it's still the same premise...

DAMN cool video, that subie sounds so mean. :drool:

Ken Block is an awesome driver he's done some crazy shit including a 171 foot jump in the same car:

no you dont, cuz if you did you and HE couldnt do 90% of the stunts he just did.

like another member said, its not difficult to preform those stunts when you have 530hp and AWD, key word is AWD!

have any of you guys tried to drift in the winter with a RWD car and then got into a AWD car and tried to drift? you will find it a hundered times easier to do with the AWD car then the RWD car.

so that explanes the crazyness of the video.

[canadianskyline]

I don't really agree with that Moe Man. Sure AWD cars are almost impossible to loop out, but I wouldn't necessarily call them easier to drift.

Mclaren - lay off man, you should be happy I'm pretty much denouncing drifting saying that pretty much anyone who's at home behind the wheel of a awd or rwd car could do this.

You'll probably turn that around on me too though. I'm assuming you must have a lot of track experience and are a highly skilled driver. Or maybe just a keyboard racer?

[jav_]

wowow thats amazing

[imjimmylin]

That was an amazing video.... :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Canmorite]

Sick driving. Love that car!

[revelations]

omg, i think there was about 5 seconds of footage where he WASNT burning rubber or bouncing off the rev limiter

[SpoonEK9@STRD]

whoa amazing.

While I loved the video, I hope we all realize that this was a PRODUCED VIDEO and was not just a single continuous shot. There was likely dozens, if not hundreds, of shots edited together to create this and that is why there is only "5 seconds" of no smoke.

He smokes that wood plank/concrete barrier and in the next shot there is no damage. You can also see near the end that on the entrance shot to the orange/white barrier donut, he overshoots it and would have hit the wall, but it cuts to another angle where he does make it.

If Hollywood could only make chase scenes as good look and SOUNDING as this.....

Ronin. Nuff said :rofl:.

But ya, what most people don't realize is that car setup plays a HUGE role in what you can do with a car. Take any stock AWD or RWD car to go drifting and you're not gonna get the extreme angles that you can get with a car setup to do just that.

Try drifting a stock STI in the dry. It's not easy to hold it sideways. Just grips and brings the tail back in.

[riced]

wicked
he just barely missed that pylon before heading to the guy in the segway

[ryanallan]

that was awesome !!

[Go4Long]

just before the 2:00 mark he pulls up on the E-Brake and actually looks kinda bored...lol

[riced]

haha he looks bored almost every time he gets shown

[Scope951]

Cars are Awesome

[crzycroat]

I think that the guy at 3:13 shit his pants. I would of packed a few extra diapers.

[jdm_eg6]

that video sold Subaru to me. I mean i have driven Literaly hundreds of subarus but man... its changing my mind from the S5 :S

[Redlyne_mr2]

dammit.. thats unreal.

[TomcoPDR]

the segway guy is a stunt man :eek:

But props to the seg guy, got balls.

[jjmac]

WOWOWEWA!!!

:clap:

[Dave P]

TP > Block:thumbsup:


but the vid is effin awesome!!!

[SilverRex]

wow if they ever produce a north american initial D movie, they got to hire him to pull of stunts in the moutain races.

Even like rage2 mention that the car in the video is completely different than a stock STI, you still need mad skillz to do stuff like that. :)
