I used to think Ken was amazing, but when you see all the practice skids on the ground, it kinda takes away from it.

Now if he could do it without so much practice or at least all in one seamless shot, that would be something else.

Practice makes perfect tongue

Although for me people themselves for those things don't interest me. Doing the same thing myself or at least try, for the shear fun, now that's a drive (pun intended).

Not saying he isn't skilled and good, but just I wasn't as impressed when I found out that it isn't shot seamlessly and you can tell that he's tried some of the drifts time a generous amount of times.

I beieve I read somewhere.. That each run 1-7 was done in without takes.. Altho he practiced each section alone, before he run. During the full run when he messed up.... He started again from the begining, until he finished the run. Which raises him on a very narrow pedistol amongs great drivers..
Cause no one could possbly exacute those stunts with out practice.

I recall reading that they just edit it all into one.

If he actually does do it all in one seamless thing, then that's mighty impressive.

Lol Stephan. Such a critic eh wink

My old man and I restored a '65 fastback when I was a kid. Used to show it all around ontario. Took 2nd prize about a half dozen times. Cool thing about it, swapped the 289ci for a 302ci and it had a 4 to the floor.

Had I known this cars potential.. tongue

Awesome video IMO.

Although he has done better in the past. (Is what I think and what I think Stephan was trying to say lol)

It's not that he has done better in the past, but just that unless he actually does the entire thing in one go like Jay says, there's many better guys to watch.
