Who cares if he acts like a skater or however he acts. The guy is having fun with life doing what he wants. I've never once seen him brag about anything.

But on the flip side, he should still be capable of acting in a professional manner in a professional setting. It's true, it doesn't really matter how he treats his team, that's between him and them. But when he's treating volunteers and staff at the events that garner his paycheck like shit too, that's when it stops being a "who cares" situation and starts being one where he needs to grow up and learn to control himself.

I've had the displeasure of dealing with Mr. Block on several occasions away from the picture taking and fans mobbing him and he is absolutely a D-bag. He treats his teammates and those who are there to help him like sh!# when the crowds and camera are away. I've been running safety sweep for the quite a number of years at the minnesota rallys. We've been on scene for both of his crashes at Ojibwe and he was very unpleasant to be near. Now before anyone says "well his adrenaline was pumping at the time" I have to clear up one point, he was being a prick to the medic that was trying to make sure that he was ok after the huge roll in 2009 and also to the sweep personnel there to assist him. He couldn't be bothered with anything that we needed to do to make sure he was ok. Any rally driver (or professional racer) that has been racing for any amount of time knows that you don't behave like that.

Foust is a damn good driver, I have more respect for him every time I watch Top Gear. What was said above is true, Block is a marketing genius with unlimited money. Kudos to him for putting his money into his passion though.

I still like ken block. I know for a fact none of us could do half of what he can. So why bash ken and not just enjoy to good drivers. Kenblocks stunt videos are still fun to watch. That terry guy dosnt he drive the scion with the nascar engine in it?

I have to agree, I don't care what you say the videos are fun to watch. I could care less about his rankings in rally, that's not why I like him.

Do you really? Give me the time he's had in the car and we will see.
So why bash ken and not just enjoy to good drivers.Because he paid to be where he is and he's still not very good at racing.
Kenblocks stunt videos are still fun to watch.
That's not why I made this thread, now is it?
