I was there but didn't hear mention of it. But I didn't watch the live action thing.

Should just leave that stuff to Ken Block and concentrate on his racing. Ok he's there for the fans and to put on a show, but hes just copying

Looked like he needed more speed, as he belly flopped when he landed on the ramp, then that sent him over

I have been in the arena and no expert by the way, however there is no way that youd be able to get enough speed up for a jump like that,bad planning imo!!

Looks like he may have wheel spun too much on his acceleration, hence not enough speed

Looks like it wheelspun in first and bogged into second. I bet he knew well before the takeoff he'd cocked it up, but couldn't stop before the top.
Did the rest of the guys clear the jump ok?

that was pathetic. sounded to me like he backed off so as not to be too fast and that made him too slow / changed the balance too far forwards.

needs to lose a bit more weight the fat focker!
hopefully he will be back out today/tomoro when the crowds are their now he's had his practice mishap should be fine.
if you watch it on replay from 7 secs he was really close to making a perfect landing the rear wheels were 2 feet short of the jump.
