MAD SKILS!!!!!!!! Ken Block
Gymkhana 5. Bad Ass! Enjoy!
Ive seen a few of his videos. He is talented! I wonder how hard it was to shut down the bridge and all of the streets to film.
Looking at the shadows, it was probably 5 AM on a Sunday morning....

That's just sick....!
Yes mad skills soooo much talent. I cannot even dream of having that kind of control in a car.
BUT did anybody else catch the fact that at the recent X Games it was the plain jane WRC Champion who spanked all these flashy guys? I know at some point a bunch of these guys were like "yea sure invite the dude, well bury him on the street" UH....not so much.
Did anyone else notice that they required several takes for each shot? The cable cars ran across quite a number of circular skid/tire marks before the Ford got there.... Same with every other hard trick, multiple passes, with the bad ones edited out. Not a clean straight run.

Not only that but there was damage in several scenes that disappears in the next scene.
Ken Block ran in WRC for I think one season and didn't do very well. It's one thing to do donuts on concrete on a closed course, but to RACE on unimproved roads is something else entirely. Neat video to be sure, but he's a novelty act at the X games, not a racer. I'm not impressed.
Sorry.
But makes for a great video. Very few people will spot the edits; I'm the weird one that sees the toilet seat down in one scene and up in the next, then can't get that gaffe out of my mind.
Good editing can make a movie, bad can ruin it...
That said, I'd have liked to go behind him with a GoPro sweeper

Cgi
I worked on Harrison for 9 years - the Hills Bros Building
I commuted on the Bay Bridge where the video starts
The driving is real the back ground is not
NO people - really? look at the background
The "cable Cars" are trucks made to look like cable cars
They are in SF as tourist rides
There is no way you could do this in the day light without a single spectator looking on
Oh my gosh that video was seriously one of the sickest edited videos I have ever even seen before... NICE WORK!!!!
