I dont realy like Ken Block in the wrc, Everybody keeps on going on like he is god or a legend. He is only good at Gymkhana but he crashes quite a bit but who cares What are your views about him ?

botters

ive seen a video of him on youtube driving a mk2 escort and getting punished around the course by a 17 year old lad in another mk2 escort ill try and find the vid now

BigChuck

if you listen to him himself he's a good guy, really down to earth, and he is doing ok in the WRC, considering its his first season. he's definitely not a disgrace to ford

its funny you compare him to McRea.... have you ever seen how he did in his first season....

Fiddy

the guy can deffinatly peddle a car, no question about it. but he is more of a publicity stunt, than a top class driver.

hes good at doing the freestyle stuff but i dont like him yet colin did have some crashes and ye ken is doing alright but he cant keep the fiesta on the track he needs to get used to that then he will be flying around but i dont think they should put him in the focus any time soon

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

ye theres vids on youtube ov him going some great stuff but as hes used to doing that when hes on the track hes doing poor give him time he will be good but i will never like him alot he might grow on me but not that much

Ginge !

mate hes just like travis pastrana,,,, they are VERY skilled people who have balls larger than you would ever belive,,,,, just do thing without thinking it PROPERLY,,,,,,,, they would crash and the carry on and generally ENJOY it

i personally rate them as real people,,,, both dont need to do it but they are living there dream,,, fair play

Mcrae got on fabulously with Block and thought he was a talented driver.
But what the fuck would he know?

Can you please name me a rallying great who hasnt crashed a few times?

Evo Loeb does it, and he's practically a machine!

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

ye i do know tt but not on just about every rally for the ford wrc i admit latava DOES crash alot but when he dosnt he does good sometimes great

Fiddy

dont think anyone is questioning his talent behind the wheel in general chip, its pretty evident he can drive his arse off, but is he one of the top drivers in his feild, and would/could, he compete for the WRC with the likes of loeb ?. personally, i think if he was in a competative car, and given the chance, he would be somewhere near. but like ginge said, he looks like he is in it for the fun and adrenaline rush, infact, i dont even know if he is that hungry for success, or just wants to make a very good living, from fucking around in very quick, and expensive cars, because come on, who wouldnt love that job

Chip

iTrader: (3)

He is new to WRC, he'll take time to learn the formula after so long doing similar but not identical genres of driving.

If he had been JWRC first etc and had a different younger life he'd probably be a real championship contender by now, he has the raw talent he just lacks relevant experience.

Cant see why everyone loves to hate him so much TBH, he seems like a genuinely nice guy, a total petrolhead and one hell of a driver.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Please can you put a little more effort into not typing like a retard, its quite hard to read.

Neil@FastFord

Why are people so down on Block? Is it a jealousy thing?

Heard some absolute bollocks about him. Of course his vids are edited well, but he still did the driving. They just shot them a few times and edited them to make some car porn for people the world over to wank over. Is there anything wrong with that?


I like him, think he has talent and he is totally livin' the dream.

Fiddy

as for the crashes, EVERY driver, who drives a car on the absolute limit, and beyond it, is going to have crashes, it comes with the teritory.

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

hands up i would love to do that prob even crash a couple of times the teams can get it perfect in no time anyway ( As long as they dont write it off )

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

i like him when hes doing the trick stuff all on is own but he needs to get better at the proper rallies he has loads of talent at Gymkhana
but i think he needs to get better

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

lol ok ill try just a bit tired

Fiddy

and that my freind, you have to respect. as i said, who wouldnt want his job. getting paid handsomely, to push very quick and expensive cars, that only a handful of people in the world get to drive, to there limit and beyond, all over the world. sounds like a job we would all kill for

Ginge !

he is ALWAYS pushing though,,,,,, hes not new to rally driving btw BUT this is his first season in WRC,,,, hes far from a shite driver at all,,,,,,,, i love the fact he does it as he ENJOYS it

though travis IS my Hero and,,,,,,,, sorry but the guy just does SOO many mental stunts that,,,,, in reality are just pointless but entertaining none the less but the tricks he gave to FMX,,,,,,,,,,,, superman goes to bed wearing Travis Pastrana p-jamas !!

Mk4 Lew

lol she mest be a nutter to want to do that mate

Neil@FastFord

You said you can't stand him and that he is a disgrace.

I'm sure you'd be much better. But besides that. Please run off the list of "legends" who have been amazing in thier first proper crack at WRC.

Please do.

You are naming drivers who all have over ten years at the top, and spent their early years rally driving on smaller levels.

Fella has a lot of pressure and spotlight on him and i think he is doing well and entertaining.

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

will do

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

you know what i think you lot have make me change my mind. i wont be gunning for him in the wrc but he will be a real pro when he gets used to the REAL meaning of rally driving

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Hopefully in time mate he can know as much about the REAL meaning of rally driving as you do.

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

lol

Fiddy

but does he wake up in the morning and piss excellence, does he think second place, is first place for losers, and does he have two kids called walker, and texas ranger, or are they called doctor quinn, and medicine woman, does he drive with a real, live, cougar in the passanger seat, and has he ever been to drunk, to taste that chicken ?

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

lol

Neil@FastFord

You know Fiddy!!


But hang on...i DO want his life....so, he is shit.

Seems to be the fad.

HockeyNomad

Jealous, who cares if he inst the worlds greatest wrc driver, him deciding one day "i know i will dick about in a car and put it on the tinterwebz"

has made him an almost overnight sensation his buisness savvy has led him to be such a great promotion tool that ford have let him loose for them in the wrc, just so they can sell a few extra fez's stateside,

he has done well for himself, but i want to beable to fly my mates out to abandoned airfeilds/autodromes etc around the world to dick about with an insane nuttermobile and just have a laugh making a fook load of cash and getting all the energy drink i can handle,

i dont know how he can cope

Ginge !

Ken Block (born November 21, 1967, in Long Beach, California) is one of the co-founders and recently appointed Chief Brand Officer of DC Shoes. Block has competed in many action sports events including skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross, and most notably rally racing.

HES THE FUCKING CO FOUNDER OF DC SHOES FFS,,,,, its a bit like bill gates compeating in fucking robot wars,,,, he prob earns more money per season from shoes that hes ENTIRE rally team budget has to run for a season,,,,,,, he was fucking rich WELL before he became fucking famous on youtube

id love to see the owner of nike take part in the WRC and see how he gets on ?

Ginge !

Ken Block Net Worth
$200 Million USD
