Ken Block’s Gymkhana Two
Gymkhana One took the internet by storm. The video acquired over 20 million views on youtube, and suddenly everyone knew the name of DC Shoes co-founder Ken Block. He’s a successful rally racer and extreme sports competitor, appearing in skateboarding, motocross, and snowboarding events. He’s also a damn fine driver, as his Rally America victories demonstrate. With his Crawford Performance tuned Subaru’s, Block is a champion at laying down thick strips of rubber, and can gracefully slide a car like few others in the world.
The motorsport of Gymkhana is practiced in the United States and Japan, and involves a driver deftly navigating his or her car through a highly complicated obstacle course. It incorporates driving maneuvers such as spins and figure 8’s, and requires extensive drifting. Block is a master.
Pure magic, the man is the automotive equivalent of Ghandi. Or something. We’ve embedded the HD video, so it may take a moment or two to load — we promise it’s worth it.
