You know the saying is,
if you're not scared, you're not going fast enough.
There's this on the edge feeling of
if I'm trying to win, I've got to be on the limit everywhere that I can.
Oh and the fact that they jump and slide.
The joy of machines, the simplest way I have to kind of say it.
The cars that we get to drive...
-Oh my god!
-I don't know what just happened, but my wife said: "oh my god"
I hope everyone's okay.
So this weekend, we are in Southern Ohio.
What I love is these roads in the countryside,
it's blocked off from point A to point B and I can just go flat out.
-Hello!
-Well, rally is way more fun, than any motorsport I've ever seen.
Every corner is different than the last time, you can't predict what's going to happen.
-There's so many things that could go wrong at any given second,
you're driving on the limit the entire time.
The fact that we drive these production-based cars
and we're driving on roads that mostly anybody can drive on
but we're just doing it at speeds most people can't fathom.
That's the stuff that just makes me smile,
I grew up in Southern California and i grew up in an era of like of punk rock
you know, the new wave in the 80s, the whole idea of like questioning everything.
I grew up in such a way, that kind of looked at everything,
as how can we do this different, do this more creative.
It's pretty rad, I've seen that in a while.
-It's been a little bit.
The idea of drawing things, and creating things has been with me since I was quite young
I'm fairly lucky that i see these images in my head of how to take something from a simple concept,
all the way through to getting someone to be able to make it.
Interacting with fans and delivering the content
to just try and have a different experience with the sport that we love, and that we're in
and i literally have been told, "No that's the way you do it!"
I'm like well, I want to do it that way!
Like I said that kind of roots back to punk rock.
For me, and for the team of people around me,
We've enjoyed having fun, just trying to question and do things our own way.
We're going in the car. Yeah, we're doing the vlog.
Park Exposé and we're gonna do a stage tonight!
Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Rally!
For me the transition to being a race car driver, and a dad actually happened all around the same time
and it's been a tough challenge finding the balance.
To find balance of trying to help and kind of push them along their way,
but not push them like a soccer dad.
I want them to have the desire to want to do things, and then earn it
you can see it with Lia, that she wants it.
-...30 into left over big jump.
-Did you go flat out on the jump?
-I went 80% that's what my [co-driver] told me to do.
-oh yeah?
Did your car land okay? -Yeah it was pretty nice.
Did you actually catch air? -Yeah!
Good job! We are all set.
Like i went too much there!
Who is Ken Block? ahhhh....
He's an introvert.
It's difficult for him to meet fans and talk to them and sign autographs it's not natural to him.
Well, he's one of my best friends.
I don't know what I would do without him.
He's always there for me, in any way possible and will support me in anything I do.
It's definitely an advantage in everything I do because,
I definitely get a lot more opportunities than, I would if my dad wasn't famous obviously.
That's motivation for me,
I try to use that and channel that, into my racing
and just do the best I can and go fast.
I mean I'm a lucky bastard,
an incredible wife, incredible kids and
and uh they make my life even more fun.
-Your first podium Lia! -Yeah!
-Very proud of you! -Yeah finally!
-Good job buddy! -Yep good job Alex!
-Yeah yep, good one, good one!
