Absolutely EPIC show! So much insight from both sides of the windshield with Ken. Another example of loving what you do, working smart and always trying to get better. Thanks for another great listen DJ Donnie - GL and Ping!
Thank you for the show. Learnt so much from the hosts and the guest's about how to deal with different challenges on and off the bike. Thanks to all the first responders out there too.
Really genuine person, you can tell Ken is about the art. The 80's and 90's Rallying was amazing....that lineage was taken further with Ken. RIP the great Colin Macrae.
Man I love moto and use to rock Ken block shirts. It's awesome that they were all connected and everyone in the motosport industry also loves other sports. Traditional sports are OK but action and motorsports are something else and somewhat just more fun.
We got the the world's best ever motocross racer and his name without question or doubt the deciding undisputed factor...the man of the hour.. he is a legend an absolute monster...will live in infamy for eternity my dude is a champion of champions... nobody has ever had the finesse and dedication and put the work in Like this dude ever! A once in a lifetime unicorn of sorts that wanted to be different. The tenacity and drive was 1st class... Who am I?
@@EarthSurferUSA - In series such as MotoGp, F1, WRC and a few more, manufacturers are only willing to enter so many racecars per season. Rich fucks can actually hurt the careers of more skilled drivers. MotoGp only allows 24 motorbikes on the grid. F1 only allows 2 cars per team (and 1-car teams are banned). WRC manufacturers can only enter 3 factory-backed cars. The World Rallycross Championship (WRX) only allows 25 cars per event.
I love your show, yet it is so lame that you guys continually talk about things that we cannot see, the camera does not pan so that the audience can see what you are talking about! I was fortunate to have met he and Dave Mirra in New Hampshire at Team O'Neal Driving school. Both were great guys and we had a blast hanging out with them.
Ken Block's history in WRC competitions: · 25 starts divided into 3 Gr.N outings (almost-stock cars, 2nd-cheapest class) and 22 on the WRC class · His 3 Gr.N starts = 16th out of 27 entries, 36th out of 44 and 18th out of 37 --- Sadly enough, this is probably the better part of his WRC career as he managed to outdrive quite a few of participants (some are people with 9-to-5 jobs but still) and never totaled a car · His WRC starts = 6 DNFs due to accidents, 1 DNF due to a mechanical problem and 3 "SuperRallies" (if you wreck during the 1st or 2nd day, you can repair the car and reappear the next day and get a huge penalty). In a class that usually registers less than 15 entries per rally, he only got SIX top10 finishes (9th or 10th). He was usually outperformed by people driving much older cars and privateers with a much smaller team of mechanics. Ken Block also has a very special achievement: he is the only WRC entry to ever completely wreck a car during the "shakedown" (a practice stage). No one else has ever done that with a WRC car on a WRC round. The crash is quite a sight to see, search for "Ken Block Shakedown crash"!
The Gymkhana videos are just over-produced pieces of shit. The only difference between those and the stunt driving you see in movies is that no one will ever claim that Darius Devil is 1 of the best drivers in the World. The only difference between the Gymkhana videos and videos like BJ Baldwin's Recoil, Aaron Ampudia's AMP'D or Kyle LeDuc's A LeDuc Christmas is that those 3 have actually won 1 of the crown jewels of their sport (the Baja 1000 for the first two, the LOORS title for Kyle).
Some "moto" guys that happen to be much better rally driver than Ken Block: · Travis Pastrana (won all of his Rally America titles against him AFAIK) · Nicolas Vouilloz (the DH legend left the mountains for a MX bike, had some minor success in France) became the International Rally Champion, a B-championship to the WRC, in 2008 · Valentino Rossi has won the Monza Rally Show a few times, at least once he faced Ken Block and Block lost · Toby Price (Dakar Rally winner in a bike) once managed to win 1 Australian baja in both cars and motorbikes (they flew him from the finish line to the start line) · Joan "Nani" Roma (Spanish Enduro champion, 1 of 3 people to have won the Dakar Rally in both bikes and cars) has several wins in the Spanish Rallying Championship
@@pags1981 - Considering the safety of modern WRC cars and the stupid amounts of money he has, the fact he tried means NOTHING. Just look at millionaire dumbass kid Gus Greensmith, his dad buys him entire teams! If eWRC (biggest rallying database in the World) is correct, his dad has bought him the following cars since 2014: · 4 units of the Ford Fiesta R2T (65k each) · 9 units of the Ford Fiesta R5 (220k each but he might be paying an annual fee to the team and the cars are provided) · 2 units of the Ford Fiesta WRC (600k each but they're usually loaned instead)
Coming back here to listen to this again with Ken having died just 2 days ago. RIP Ken Block.
RIP 43 ❤❤❤❤
rip he was the best RIP 43

Putting out bangers like this gana land the WTS on Netflix in no time...
This show is awesome. Big props on The Dirty Heads intro too!
I wore a pair of DC snowboard boots for snowmobiling for 13 years. Those things wore like a tank track!
Awesome interview, Ken is such a Great Guy.

My advice to critics is to read Roosevelts 'man in the arena' speech. At least he's gone out there and had some bollocks.
