    No more waiting...here it is. :ddirty:

    I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet. I think I like the practice run better, as it was mainly driving. The driving here is still spectacular, but you can tell they tried focusing way too much on special effects.

    Still badass, none the less...

    I liked it. He's f'n crazy for drifting right next to the damn water. That part where he almost goes off is insane. I liked the slowing down of the camera, it showed how close he actually was coming to the objects.

    Granted it's Ken Block, but it just didn't have the same appeal after watching 20 times. Would love to see some in car working the wheel and hand brake.

    The first one was better. This one had to much slow motion.

    Did JJ Abrams direct this? Because there was almost as much slow motion as there were lens flares in the new Star Trek movie.

    Bitchin' vid, but I would have appreciated fewer breaks in the action, and some more in-cabin shots, showcasing the foot- and handbrake-work.

    Add this to the list of reasons of why I ride Ken Block's balls so hard.

    i thought it was a commercial for subaru...lol

    if after every slow mo clip they said "buy the new forester or STI" i would've have seriously thought about jumping in the car and heading to the dealer.

    lame explosion.

    cool location.

    lame paintball.

    cute water balloon.

    lame facial expressions on Ken, i found the bored tired look on his face in the first one when he grabbed the E-brake alot more entertaining.

    indifferent: adverts and product placement bothered me less than the video...

    overall: meh
