Can't wait to see the video. I'm guessing there won't be much jumping involved.

Ken Block did something right in his life. People close streets, build him custom cars, and pay him to do this. So jealous....

He sure did but jealous I am not. If he could actually win WRC races...well then maybe I would be but watching him do these stunts is akin to watching the Harlem Globetrotters instead of a winning NBA championship team, or a freestyle footballer dribbling forever instead of Chelsea winning championships.
