Yeah - there must be some chaffing when walking around with 'boys' the size he has....

I wonder if he has ever thought about what would happen if he had a flat tire while doing slides like that on a curve that close to the edge of the cliff?

Nuts!!! I enjoyed that. Our Viper group just did the Mt Washington, New Hampshire climb. Similar kind of road and areas with no guard rails, but nobody was driving like that guy. He's very skilled.

I find it hard to believe he can make it to the top on one set of tires!

... and yes, thanks for posting!

I'm sure he thinks about it a LOT!

That's Ken Block, an amazing driver. The car is all wheel drive and he has several of these videos out there on the web. Definitely not done on one set of tires. It takes all day to do one of these shoots.

They need to take that boy's guns, knives, kitchen utensils, etc away from him - he's certifiably insane.

There are many in the Hoonigan series of his. LA and London should not be missed.

In almost every skid scene you can see previous skid marks. I would like to see the earlier "takes" that were deleted; could be even closer to the edge....

Classy that he stopped at the national park entry gate like you're supposed to.

Is there a description for something beyond incredible?

That guy is one hell of a driver!!

I would like to see what his actual time up the mountain (absent stunts), could be.

I've seen videos of him doing things with a car that is just hard to believe could be accomplished. Dude can definitely drive.

Pikes Peak isn't a National Park, although a lot of tourists try and use a NP annual pass. It's actually owned by Colorado Springs. The gate he stopped at is actually on the way down the mountain where they stop you and check your brakes for excessive heat (people tend to ride their brakes and not use lower gears). If they are too hot, they make you pull over and let them cool off. Coincidently there is a gift shop at this location.

As a passenger I'd probably be tapping out even while there was still vegetation along the road. Up where it's just rubble, no way in hell .....
