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



9:15?

Before I invest that much of my life in Mr Block again is it worth watching or is it just more of him driving like some ASBO joyrider on Blackbird Leys in an RS Turbo in the mid 90s?

It's a bit different from his others...

I've got a pair of his shoes and they absolutely honk! I've never had smelly feet, but four weeks in his signature DC's and the things have to be left in the shed!

Cracking video and "Gymkhana" skills though.

Random. Gorilla, hollywood? king kong maybe? He's got some skills that lad, and i like the fact that he doesn't take himself too seriously. What a fcukin cool job he landed.

Great driving and awesome looking car, but i'm starting to think he is a being a bit too self indulgent.

Love the EcoBoost sticker next to the popping/flaming exhaust...lol.
 
Far too commercialised now.... I might just be easily impressed, however his car control never fails to impress :D

Some really nice camera work hidden away in there as well.

Too commercialised? The Gymkhana stuff has only ever been adverts for DC and trying to flog the latest shoes etc. ;) Although I'm assuming you mean they're being a bit less subtle about it now?

Agreed about his car control, I guess I'm just a big kid and will always be impressed by lots of gimmicky sliding, tyre smoke and exhaust flames :eek: I still think I prefer previous versions, but his stuff is always good for a bit of mindless petrolhead indulgence! Quite liking the humour in this and little jokey references to stuff done in previous vids.
 
Got GoPros?!

Tbh, thats qualo!
Its abit ott because its hollywood?

I think the car looks better too!

Ken block is awesome
 
Yeah Ive loved all the gymkhana's he has released. I think its a great way to raise the sport of rallying in general and its all good fun! They've never taken it too seriously which is good.

i love the sticker on the back saying "POWERED BY FORD ECOBOOST" whilst its anti-lagging itself mad and spitting flames out the back!
 
Anyone with an unlimited budget and unlimited time could make a gymkhana vid in a 4wd rally car. Just need enough takes. Not impressive really.

I enjoyed it... I can't really be bothered with analysing it too much, it's DC Shoes/Ford advertisement at the end of the day.

but we dont, others dont. he does...

Got SOOOO much time for the guy, he runs a successful company yet still hoons aboutselling his shiz and having a ball of a time.

he could NOT bother, then again some would moan at that.

Bravo Kenneth.

Exactly. I'd rather watch that than watch Vin Diesel pratting around in an fake-ass Hollywood movie any day.
