Ken Block might not have had his best year in the Rally America championship in 2009 (he finished fourth), but nobody, and we mean nobody, produced a better highlight reel. This video proves it with four minutes and forty one seconds of the most striking car-sliding-sideways images we've seen since the original gymkhana video.
Nice work, Mr. Block.

Block and Pastrana are pretty amazing people. Travis has gigantic cojones, but I think Block beats him in precision. That shot of him breaking all those (paint?) balloons with the rear tires was incredible.

In terms of rally skill, Pastrana > Block imo. They still have a bit to go to reach WRC-level for sure.

Here's a story from a few years ago on Pastrana's WRC prospects:
