DC SHOES: KEN BLOCK'S GYMKHANA FOUR; THE HOLLYWOOD MEGAMERCIAL - YouTube

 

I wonder if you could make a Fit do that? I like seeing the practice marks, so you know that he ran the track a few times before.

 

awesome everytime! gotta love these things...now lets convince them to trick out a GE and do it with that! haha

 

Yeah, in a Fit! One with the STi was great too. Thanks DSM.

 

I gotta give credit when due, Block has some of the most amazing car control skills I've seen in a stunt sequence. I'd love to see him drive like this (skill and technique wise) in WRC though.

 

Never been a fan of Block, he's good at stunt stuff, but not fast.

 

Great gymkhana video! Best one was his second or third one though :)

 

It was at Disneyland!!!

 

Sorry Charlie... Universal... :-)

 

you sir are correct, i got my places mixed up, even though i knew the shark at the beginning was at universal

 

I knew you knew that Jaws lives at the Universal pond. :-) I knew you were just kiddin'. You're from Irvine Tuna...

 

Ken Block has competed in WRC events, I think that he's crashed out of them most of the time and when he didn't crash, he wasn't very competitive. There's no "take 2" in the real rally world.

 

Well he is a "stunt"/X gamer guy. But still a newbie (w lots of money for toys) at WRC.

 

lol, really entertaining video!

ken block and rob dyrdek are two guys who get paid just to entertain themselves... that doesn't really qualify as a job, does it? soooooo luckyyyy lol

 

No fair! No justice...

 

Ken block is a co-founder of DC Shoes, he didn't get where he is by doing nothing.

He's not very good at WRC, but he seems pretty humble and is eager to learn, I don't hate him for that. He had the resources and got into WRC, good for him, a lot of us would love to try that if we had the opportunity.

Gymkhana videos are fun and good for publicity, but if he can perform in WRC too, that'd be awesome. He's kinda like a Cinderella story, old-ish guy gets into rally-racing. I'd love to see him improve.

 

well obviously, i know who ken block is and anybody that has access to youtube should too... i guess i should have been more specific; ken and rob were just two examples of people who enjoy their jobs and get paid to entertain themselves AFTER their hard earned success. the amount of a person's success is commensurate to their level of investment and commitment to their trade, that's a given.

 

^ very nicely put.

i used to hate on ken block, then i realized i'm just jealous

 

I know, which is why I put "skill and technique" wise in my post. I think the problem that Block may have in WRC is actually committing to being on the throttle for the course and to not slide the car nearly as much through the turns on the course. Mind you, this is just my opinion based on the few videos I've seen of him in WRC on TV.

 

Nice skills on the wheels.I like the engine and shift sounds...The monkey that kiss the girl in the video looks like The Grinch....but in Black....:).
