Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane?
No, it's Ken Block's Impreza again
Weeeeeeeeeeeee
When it comes to four wheels, he’s developed a bit of a thing for rallying. However, not content with just competing in the North American series, he’s also one for seeing just how far he can fly his Impreza.
First up, he executed a 171-foot jump at a dirt course in America towards the tail end of last year. If you haven’t seen the video, check it out here.
Now he’s gone one better by flying out to New Zealand – health and safety nannies wouldn’t allow the stunt to go ahead in the US – joining up with the DC snowboard team and executing a 70-foot jump in the snow.
As only an adrenalin-fuelled American can, Block said “All in all I’m really stoked how well it went. In all the experiences I’ve ever had, it truly was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done.”
There’s no word of what he broke on his Scoob this time, but given that the only things that broke on the dirt jump were the windscreen and a damper, we imagine that the boys at Vermont Sports Car can breathe a sigh of relief this time. Until he comes up with his next idea that is.
ok ,, it was one hell of a jump seemed to go on and on 
IDIOT.!!!!
I'm also sure that the dirt jump damaged more than the damper and windscreen. There appears to be bit's flying off when he lands, and that means something else broke. Not to mention the welding on the body.
once again. IDIOT

I think it's great. Top marks.
I've sat in a Scooby of that vintage and there is no way a standard seat would comfortably hold a pair of bollox the same size as the ones that bloke obviously has
top marks to him!
Especially as the standard Imprezza Turbo drivers seat actually has a compensation cushion for lack of bolloxs...

Agreed. It's insane, dangerous, and will almost certainly damage the car. But the only people at risk are him and his bank manager, and it's the last in a long line of people doing silly, extreme things 'because they can'. Not that different from the spirit that has taken individuals to the highest, deepest, furthest, and most dangerous places on the planet, taken us past Mach 1 (air and land) and of course to the moon!!!
