Dope video is dope.

Re: Ken Block's Gymkhana 5!
 
The locations are dope, but I feel like I have seen some crazier driving in his other videos. I guess there is only so much you can do on some public streets versus an abandoned airport.

When the first video came out eXploited was the typical Subaru owner who was doing donuts in the high school parking lot while drinking monster and calling it gymkhana

I think he was still driving the RSX with razor blades in the door handles at that time.

That ford fiesta is capable of doing way more than that subie will. At 600hp, and weighing next to nothing, that little thing is a monster. I'm glad he got rid of that stupid ass gorilla in the previous vids though. That was over done.

I didn't own a Subaru then, maybe because that was Ken Blocks career explosion, and it started off with Subaru with the Gymkhana videos. Probably why I liked it so much then more so than now.

Don't get me wrong that Ford is sicktits! But I think the Hollywood Gymkhana was the absolute best video.

I actually hated the Subaru, the Fiestas that they use for rally are just works of art. Travis Pastrana in a Dart though is just stupid, he should've stuck with Subaru.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6LgL9RAFJI Side note: did anyone actually watch what a shit show the rallycross portion of the X-Games was? There was no passing, half the cars broke and didn't even make it off the line, a million jump starts, and whoever lead into the first corner won the race EVERY. TIME. I like seeing motorsports at the X-Games, but that was just a pathetic showing.

Damn, he beat the shit out of that little Fiesta. That sideways jump was insane.

I really want some of those fifteen52 wheels, I just wish they weren't built like a battle tank so they didn't weigh so much. Might get them anyway though.

The jump definitely did it for me, as well as the sideways jumps to slides. Love this video, will watch again.

focus on fast, raw and precise driving action
I'll go watch WRC if I want any of that.
How many points has Block earned over three seasons? 12?
Sad that he's the only American out there, this country needs to get on the ball.

I feel the black wheel had something to do with the slide jump, but I have no idea what it would be. And the jumps were the only parts I liked, I mean good video, but how long is he gonna ride this horse?

Until it's dead and he's standing over its corpse swinging a Louisville slugger.

Seriously though, it's time for him to take this shit up a notch. I've seen that thing where he circle drifts around a moving object so many times it's silly. I'd like to see him do a tandem routine, surely there's another driver out there that would like to cash in on the notoriety of these videos.

Just curious, how did you come up with that thought?

I think that is a great idea. A Gymkhana team would kick things up a huge notch. Pastrana would make a great add-on, not just doing a wheelie on a bike...

I like the videos, it speaks to my inner child that just wants to jump things and speed around corners.

Re: Ken Block's Gymkhana 5!
 
The fact that Pastrana didnt get on a supermoto set up and follow him thru the city makes me furious. What a wasted opportunity for some sick footage.

But I love Ken Block. Truly an awesome dude.

I'm sure Ford pays for a big chunk of the video and would never allow that unless he was in a Fiesta. Toomas Heikkinen, Tanner Foust, Marcus Gronholm, Brian Deegan, and David Binks all drive Fiestas too so they're pretty spoiled for choice in terms of talented drivers. Foust and Block would be cool to see tandem.

I buy dc stuff....






























when I go to marshalls and pay 7 dollars for a shirt instead of the orignal 45. I dont know how anyone can consciously buy a t shirt for that price. I own one pair of dc shoes, and they were given to me.

Dont get me wrong, I like the products,really like the shirt material and they are some really great skate shoes, when I was younger they held up longer than any other shoe when I would skate for 10 hours a day.


And even though this is the 5th video, I still like it. Must be pretty awesome to shut down a city, a bridge and back roads and get to go fucking nuts through it. The jumps were dope, would have been doper if pastrana and him jumped at the same time.

If they really wanna cash in they need to have JR in this thing chasing Block around
