Default Ken Block on TopGear

I know his video has been posted a million times....

But that piece on TopGear with James May was fucking awesome!!! With the planes taking off in the background, then that Ricky Carmichael fella on his bike.

Excellent piece of film imo. Loved it.

Pretty good but not even close to being as good as the Exige/Apache video they've done before.

I'd say any wrc driver could do it fairly easily to be honest. So no doubt andy could do it as well if he knew the course.

Was a cool video but would of been so much better if it was Travis on the bike rather than Ricky, rather than jumping over the car he would have been doing backflips.

I actually thought the top gear filming let his driving down.

His infomercials on the youtube show of his skills far better.

Most of the top gear film was made up of OTT edited shots and the rest the camera man was in the wrong place covered in dust

Dont get me wrong good entertainment, but compared to his you tube stuff I feel it really didnt show off his talent very well.

If you havnt seen his 2nd vid (do you live in a cave) here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ7R_buZPSo
just check out the driving at 3:00-3:20.
And how much better is the filming !!!

Know what you mean - I think they have run out of ideas now and are trying too hard to be funny. The bit where they were driving round london with the loud hailers on top of the cars was literally cringe worthy!
