Apparently he was out there getting another batch of Suby-at-terrain-park footage. Nothing on the mighty internetz yet. Anyone seen or heard?

Haven't heard about it, but have seen this video...

I can't open that site you posted, it is blocked at my work, so sorry if the video is already on there...

left footed whooten · 2009-04-14, 10:27 AM

Yeah, that's one of them, from UT somewhere. The others are the gymkhana video and the footage from the jump and the NZ terrain park 07. There's a short blurb about it on the site, rumor has it it happened 4/8

The thing that caught my interest in that article is..."and an infamous half pipe scene"

wildfirefli · 2009-04-14, 12:40 PM

oh I'm so excited. I absolutely love block and his videos live in my wet dreams. I would seriously do things so that I could drive my car on a snowy mountain or snowboard with ken block. OOOOOoo the things.

left footed whooten · 2009-04-14, 10:13 PM

Just got a voicemail from friday or saturday, reports of Ken Block tearing all over the place in the rally car. My bro works grooming up there, haven't talked to him yet.

GusGus91 · 2009-04-14, 10:18 PM

That's so sick, if it's true. northstar is my favorite mountain... but too bad i decided to ride friggin boreal on the 8th. hopefully vids will appear on the mighty intarwebs.

Bob Danger · 2009-04-14, 10:20 PM

I dislike block. I think he's a tool.

Not this again.

I wish I knew about this in advance.. Would have been cool to accidentally board into restricted territory. haha. FWIW I like Block, I think he is a bit of a douche, but he is undeniably a great driver.

left footed whooten · 2009-04-15, 09:12 AM

From what I understand it was after last chair, after closing.

Oh ok.. That makes much more sense.

wrxkidid · 2009-04-15, 10:06 AM

no reason you cant kick it in the woods for a bit.

left footed whooten · 2009-04-20, 04:02 PM

So, my buddy was talking of a 180 foot jump at northstar.

DaveWRX · 2009-04-20, 05:17 PM

As in Block jumped his car 180 ft on the mountain? If so I want to see that. That's would be insane

WRX06TR · 2009-04-20, 06:04 PM

He already jumped his car 171 ft and cleared the jump all the way to the flat.

DaveWRX · 2009-04-20, 06:18 PM

Yes but wasn't that on dirt? On snow wouldn't of be a lot more difficult

WRX06TR · 2009-04-20, 07:26 PM

Eh...I guess but I bet these help a lot...

and its not like this is the first time he has gone nuts on snow...

DaveWRX · 2009-04-20, 07:53 PM

True but it's still insane to jump a car 180 ft on snow.
