Greetings, Dippers! TGIF. Its finally the weekend and to celebrate this occasion I present to you: Ken Block's Gymkhana 2. Gymkhana 2 was filmed in the Port of Los Angeles and Mr. Block does some pretty amazing things w/ this rally spec STi. Enjoy!
I first found out about Ken Block when he drove a Subaru rally car through a ski park along w/ some snowboard friends. He even took the jumps! He then made a film (Gymkhana 1) out in El Toro Air Force Base doing crazy driving stunts on the abandoned air strip. The guy has some crazy skills. I can't even do half of these things in a video game.
Unfortunately, this may be the last time we see Ken in a mighty Subaru. Its been announced that Ken Block has signed with Ford and will make a push to try and get into the World Rally Championship. The WRC is world stage of rally and where the big boys play.
As a Suby fan, Im bummed to see him leave, but as a rally fan, Im thrilled. Its good to see rally getting some representation from the US. The field is pretty much filled w/ Europeans. And plus, now w/ Ken jumping ship into a Focus (or Fiesta), Travis Pastrana will be the main driver representing Subaru. Mr. Pastrana was the guy who recently jumped his Subaru STI 269 ft on New Years Eve from Long Beach Pier onto a floating landing pad out in the ocean. He broke the world record for the longest car jump, which was previously held by... you'll never guess.. Ken Block at 170 ft.
Since its well known that the distance a car flies through the air has a direct correlation to the size of the driver's penis, Block will probably be looking to do something crazier. sweeeeet. I look forward to seeing two American rally drivers trying to one-up the other. Competition makes you bring your A game. Good luck, boys, and try to keep it shiny side up.
