In 1993, alternative sports industry tycoon Ken Block decided to take a breather from his business activities and take up the sport of rally, and immediately took to the sport so well and so quickly that within a couple of years he helped put the sport on the map – and at the X Games, where won a Silver Medal – and found himself in 2008 runner up for the US Rally Championship.    All that being said, Mr. Block’s adventures have a dark and the madness all began on November 16, 2006, when Block hooked-up the Discovery Channel TV show, Stunt Junkies. 

The consortium conspired together to create a monster-size jump that Block hit in his WRX STI and flew 171 feet. Once everyone shook off the disbelief and photos and videotape of the action hit the paper and electronic mediums of the world, Ken Block was canonized as not so much a madman as a modern day superhero, and has since gone on to jump with his DC over huge snow gaps with his team riders, and is deep in the throes of planning other outlandish tricks and stunts to pull off in his rally car, “I see this stuff I do with the rally car like free riding in motocross,” says the Monster driver. “You have fun with the tools you have. It’s like freestyle motocross on a dirt bike. It’s so much fun.”
