Ken Block at Northstar 4/8 shooting video footage
 
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...

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"

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.

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.

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.

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

Not this again. :p

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.

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

Oh ok.. That makes much more sense.

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

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.

I prefer jumping on lava myself.
