Once Block and Pastrana actually get some decent results in WRC I will respect them, until then they are just good stuntmen IMHO.  Typical showmen.

There is no question that Ken Block can slide and glide a car with laser guided precision ... although all stage and choreographed and more than a few cuts and retakes. Still very entertaining to watch, Episodes 1,2, and 3.

Just because he has't won anything in the WRC I can't enjoy the video. 

He actually seems to be aware of his abilities in relation to the WRC guys.

Pretty humble.

True, but this is a showy video clip.  Maybe he should stop WRC and just focus on this kind of stunting and the X-games.   :-\
