bronzee Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Very over the top even for an ad, but he has such good car control. It's excusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackosr Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Great driving skills, but a little too ott on the effects etc. I must admit he looks pretty laid back in there, makin git look so easy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 impressive, should stick to this instead of trying at wrc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Like to see the outakes where he dosen't get it right, or the tyres let go. Massive skills though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Most interesting thing there is the production quality... cameras that move on and in the car - very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sized Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Bloody brilliant car control and loved the highly tongue-in-cheek approach they took on this one with the effects etc The 'hoonigan fiesta' digital readout at 4.30 and various other points is too.

Chris`I Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Most interesting thing there is the production quality... cameras that move on and in the car - very cool. Yeah that was pretty cool. Guess these days its not actually that hard to come up with cameras that can be actuated if you have the budget. Definately something new for the vid which they all need as theres only limited stunts you can do with a car like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Saw this yesterday, while it's good I do feel it's a bit ott, the older ones were better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 impressive, should stick to this instead of trying at wrc +1 he's flippin useless in the WRC. I'd still like to see Lobe, Hirvonen or Solberg have a go at what Block does and I'm sure they'd prove their skills over Block. It seems he's taken what he's learnt from a rally season and blended it in. Problem is his lack of rally skills show in this video. Don't get me wrong he is VERY good and the video shows it, but there's also a few mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 He's good like but there's only so much skidding I can watch really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackpig Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 impressive, should stick to this instead of trying at wrc Don't get me wrong he is VERY good and the video shows it, but there's also a few mistakes. Care to point out where the mistakes are? I for one like all the Gymkhana vids. Top work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to point out where the mistakes are? I for one like all the Gymkhana vids. Top work! From memory the one which stood out was when he left the warehouse, he's lost the apex and looses momentum. If he's going to put rally stuff in there, then keep to his SUPERB hairpin in slow motion. That was class, but the exit from the warehouse was a bit poor. There are one or two more, I'll track them down tonight. What annoys me is Block is useless in the WRC, he should keep to the tricks he does in the older Gymkhana's, rather than influence his rally skills in his videos. It's a bit like Andy Murray doing a tricks video and gloating at his skills, and of course to make 4 of them is kinda saying he's amazing. Yeah they are great videos and I will watch them, but as mentioned Lobe, Solberg and Hirvonen should be doing this sort of stuff. It would prove the upset in skills against Block. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The video isn't intended to be competitive, with all apices clipped perfectly - it's about lary slides bordering on out of control. It's a shoe advert, and happens to showcase some awesome driving, special effects and camera work. As for the 'theatrics', again, it's a commercial and I should imagine they're there to entertain DC Shoe wearers who don't happen to be petrol heads. Just enjoy it people, it's about a bloke piloting a cool car around a movie set doing lots of skids I'd love to try that car, 'Monkey' Harris of Evo fame had a go and 'reviewed it' awhile back and said it was a total hoot - in fact it was probably him on the Segway 'Jet' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 He is not good enough for WRC..i reckon he should be in the next " Fast and Furious" movie..the new DK..Drift King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Agree the driving is awesome I'd struggle to execute the easiest of manoeuvres but feel Block is taking all the glory, yes he is sponsored by DC probably a lot cheaper than the likes of Lobe. I just feel the premiere boys would show the next level of tricks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
