Default He's the crazy **** who did a huge snow jump, missed the landing & broke his back!

Cracked a vertebrae!

And how the heck does he do the round donuts while the front end isn't moving forward in an AWD car???<ul><li><a href="http://www.motorsportmad.com/view/4064/ken-block-subaru-snow-jump---heavy-landing-">Video of his snow jump</a></li></ul>

Default Not only that snow jump but the one he did for Stunt Junkies

Overshot the landing, busted up the car pretty bad, and himself also.

And some <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av0VsTxJd78">more jumping</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwsRkoza48o">highlights</a> from 2007.

Default hit the brakes i think... car would have enough momentum to over come the brake force

and if you keep pinning the throttle the back will come around

front biased brakes FTW =)

Makes sense... I thought maybe his car's setup sent most of the power to the rear wheels?
