not to diminish mr. block's skills as a driver (i would love to have
them!), but it also helps to do these in many multiple "takes" as
evidenced by the many tire burns on the pavement in all his videos. and
with rare exceptions, it's the same "tricks" done over and over again
just in a different setting. handbrake slides into a u-turn, spins in
place - he did the same "trick" of circling a guy in the wrx video you
mentioned. it's as much the video production that makes it as his driving.
i like it, but i'm much more impressed with the "climbdance" video,
myself.....ari's got only one take, and a multi-thousand foot drop if he
"misses it by "this much"" (tiger content).
