Ken Block Jumps Subaru STI for Snowboard Magazine Cover Shot
Ken Block, driver for Subaru Rally Team USA, founder of DC Shoes, and avid snowboarder, took his Subaru Impreza WRX STI to the ski slopes and jumped it alongside one of the DC Shoes professional snowboarders. A shot of the stunt graces the cover of the current Snowboarder magazine.
Block spent several days horsing around in his STI, pulling snowboarders over a 55-foot jump set up on a flat part of the ski park, and doing some jumps in the car. He told Rally Sport Magazine, “In all the experiences I've ever had, it truly was one of the most fun things I've ever done.

Woah! The founder of DC Shoes is a Subaru rally driver. I never knew that.
And those are pretty cool shots, which definitly bring back memories of the beauty of the old STi it its wonderful sedan form...I guess I still haven't come around to accepting the hatchback yet.

I heard he's a terrible rally driver though, since he had no experience in car racing when he got the job.

where's the video?

Terrible rally driver? Man, I give the guy a lot of respect. He took silver at X games and is pretty fun to watch on Rally America. I'd say that's far from terrible.
