    He lost on of his rear GoPro cameras in the jump off the barge! 

    Used up a lot of tires on that run (and the practice run).  Pretty certain he used all-season tires and not N rated tires - what a dare-devil!  lol

    Re: Ken Block: Gymkhana San Francisco

    I can't help but feel like it's more about the 'shot' than it is about just documenting some genuinely ridiculous driving. The first one was shot well, but at it's core it was an act of documentation. This feels like an act of 'filmmaking,' and while unquestionably cool, seems like it's trying to upstage the driving. All those cuts were just a bit much.

    That being said, the guy sure does know how to hustle a little Ford around. Thanks for posting!

    Very cool to see side-ways "flying" to set up for the next corner .....

    Also makes you wonder how those tire beads hold  up under such strong side loads and why there aren't more punctures.
