    The look on Captain Slow's face is priceless when Ken was making the jump. I'd LOVE to go on a ride along with Ken Block. That dude is crazy talented to do the things he does.

    I have to disagree with you. In my opinion, Ken Block is good at what he does because of his seemingly endless wallet. He has the money to be able to buy a nice huge parking lot, and go drive on it all day everyday.

    The saying "practice makes perfect" is perfect when referring to Block. I'm not saying he has no talent, I think he does have talent, but he was more than likely not able to pull all those ridiculous moves in the gymkhana videos without fine tuning them a whole lot.

    So in a nutshell: Money=Practice, Practice=Talent, Therefore, Money=Talent.

    Obviously everybody has some reaction time and some instinct, and you can practice to make those reaction times faster and instinct more honed.

    I'd like to see how he drove the car the first time he got in it and tried that stuff. I bet it was nothing like the video portrayed.
