- redeemed77, on 10/24/2009, -0/+23Ken Block was on one of the episodes of Top Gear during the last season. the stunts and driving he did were just absolutely brilliant. The only thing missing was HD footage of his escapades....YA LISTENING, BBC? SHOOT TOP GEAR IN HD ALREADY!
Edit: here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciwWS3oWXTI - element4life3, on 10/24/2009, -0/+17Video of the jump....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDi0MZJZ-w0&fea ... - ClunkClunk, on 10/24/2009, -0/+11The next season of Top Gear will be HD (finally):
http://transmission.blogs.topgear.com/2009/09/22/t ... - Sp3x0ps, on 10/24/2009, -1/+9So do some math, Hit the ramp at 55mph, and let gravity do it's thing... amazing

Badass video of his driving/drifting. - twoblink, on 10/24/2009, -1/+8But his job is a Subaru showboater...
Isn't that saying Frank Sinatra sucks ass because all he does is sing?? (and womanize, and bury people in the desert) - Technolik, on 10/24/2009, -4/+10Ken Block is an AMAZING driver.
- crazy0, on 10/24/2009, -0/+5Pinker is what we call in the game a hater.....
- Chairboy, on 10/24/2009, -0/+5In the article, he notes that a counterweight is placed in the trunk to offset this.
- therealrico, on 10/24/2009, -0/+4I love seeing a Vermont license plate on a British car show
VT REPRESENT! - slothlikescake, on 10/24/2009, -3/+6His record says otherwise.
- therealrico, on 10/24/2009, -2/+5Well maybe he isn't winning all his races, but based on video evidence it is pretty hard to argue that he isn't a pretty ***** good driver!
- borez, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3Never mind the physics, a video link would have done.
- Zaxcomp, on 10/24/2009, -0/+3Most cars built for racing are already very close to 50/50 weight distribution.
- legalskeptic, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2There's something to fantasize about while I'm driving my nerdy non-WRX Impreza.
- j2los, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2Yeah but the video is old news. This is some interesting new info on it (even if it is only intro physics)
- freq, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2I hope everything works out for his move to WRC with his potential teammate Chris Atkinson. WRC has fallen on hard times with most manufacturer teams dropping out. It'll be good to see Ken on the world stage, hopefully eventually bringing a WRC event to America.
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/15/report-ken-bloc ... - j2los, on 10/24/2009, -0/+2Wow, that's amazing the launch speed of that jump was only 47
- GiJoeBob, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1Video of the landing? That's the cool part.
- ericcc, on 10/25/2009, -0/+1Looking at the diagram in the article he seems to only get 5 feet off the ground. Sure he peaks at 16 feet but that's after taking off from an 11ft ramp. Hmmm, no video loaded for me me when I read the article.
- wilf_brim, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1The rotation of the vehicle isn't taken into account, so it must not matter that much for these distances. For longer distances the weight imbalance on most vehicles will make them rotate to front down.
- Bense, on 10/24/2009, -2/+2“These equations don’t look like what you find in college physics books—but they work,” says Dettling.
Try reading any engineering dynamics book. - Zaxcomp, on 10/24/2009, -2/+2The country isn't close to being bankrupt, you have absolutely no idea how to even determine if we were. Quit repeating what others tell you without considering why they are telling you them.
Also, NASA receives 0.55% of the federal budget, its smallest percentage since 1960. - inactive, on 10/24/2009, -1/+1you are suck a narcissistic douche.
- keithbelfast, on 10/24/2009, -1/+1any engineering dynamics book?! woah
- Darkyuubi, on 10/25/2009, -2/+1Balls. This man have them.
- toshiro7, on 10/24/2009, -3/+2Ken Block was cool the first 1300 times he got posted on the Internet. Then it got old.
- ztaylor234, on 10/24/2009, -3/+2Take notes, NASA.
- JohnDBandit, on 10/24/2009, -2/+1Is is cool to say, math is cool?
- St0neman, on 10/24/2009, -2/+1This guy is fearless.
- Chairboy, on 10/24/2009, -3/+1<sigh>
- tomjunlee, on 10/24/2009, -4/+1Well... what about resisting drag forces??
- WinZiggy, on 10/24/2009, -4/+1...makes me sad I sold my 2002 WRX :(
- Pinkertinkle, on 10/24/2009, -7/+1your comment would be more appropriate if ken block were edible.
- Pinkertinkle, on 10/24/2009, -10/+1ken block sucks ass, all he does is showboat
- Billybangtree, on 10/24/2009, -18/+0Give it to NASA... They've got all the answers when it comes to spending the taxpayers money on foolish things, while the country is close to bankrupcy, and people are being killed in Afghanistan .
