...Does anyone else have an issue with an increasingly common film editing technique these days seemingly designed by and for individuals with ADHD? 3 second segments, flash cuts, interspersed with flashing graphics and off angle perspective. I yearn for a good old fashioned conventional edit.
I was thinking the same thing. I like the camera that moves while the car is "paused" but I don't need, nor want to see the same donut shown 5 times from different angles... Absolutely hated that part.
It would've been good but with half shorter without the repeats.
Also, lose the plastic traffic cones & barriers.
Parts there it was just roads, buildings etc. makes it much more effective and cool. When you make a box out of plastic barriers, you might as well put that box into some remote parking lot, they took the fact that it some of the parts were shot in a city away.
He does his tricks well (loved the sideways "flying" and props to Pastrana also) and it's great what he does for rally driving (I'm sure a ton of kids are getting interested in WRC because of his videos and x-games) but if someone wants to see exiting driving with more skill, check out the WRC incur cameras. They school Block from left and right.

You damn kids and all your fancy shmancy tricks. Back in my day we had black and white televisions that sat on the floor with antennas on top.

My dad had the pleasure of watching ken perform in austria last summer. A half hour in, he busted his differential. Only took 30 min to install a new one and have him on the road again

Wow.
Only thing I would add is him finishing it off by burning out till the tires and rims disintegrate, I think that should have been the end of every gymkhana.

It was shot the weekend of May 12. Friend of the friend was apparently in on the shoot in some capacity. Bridge was closed down just for this (and Block acknowledges that on his Facebook page too).
What I would have liked to have seen is if him starting on the "new" east span (under construction SINCE 1989!!!!!!), OR from the existing east span and run flat out through the "slow to 5 MPH" S curve that dumb *** driver can't negotiate causing permanent backups. Even 4AM on Sunday.............

Don't care if it's an Enzo- my son sent me that video this AM. Never heard of him before but assume he's an old rally driver...or drifter...
Assume they couldn't close down the whole town and had to do it in pieces but incredible none the less. How the hell does the car survive those jumps????
Need to incorporate that into all those Fords ads that Mike what's his name does...
