935k3 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 The latest video in car control from Mister Ken Block, this time it's in the city of San Fransisco. Gymkhana 5.
Roncla Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 He knows how to entertain and promote himself. Great stuff.
rel14 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Let me put on a DEPENDS, cause i would love to ride with him once......
Joe Handley Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Let me put on a DEPENDS, cause i would love to ride with him once...... Glad I wasn't eating when I read that, LOL! I saw this earlier today and loved the flying drift and thought the barge was a nice tough. Now if he can get Pastrana and his Dart in one...............
CorvairJim Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Do you think I could get them to shut down Philadelphia for a few hours so I could go run wild in the streets there? Seriously, this was fun to watch,there's no doubt that Ken Block is a master of car control, but how many hundreds, if not thousands of people were inconvenienced by the filming of this? Closing down the Bay Bridge for how long? Even 15 minutes from set-up to knock-down would cause major traffic tie-ups.

VW Dave Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Sideways in the air @ 5:40 made me back it up and watch again
sjordan2 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 They showed a clip from that this morning on The Today Show - said there had been several million views in just the last couple of days.

I live by SF and they had the bridge closed for a few days a couple of months back so they could re-configure the toll plaza and approach ramp up the incline so they could continue work on the new bridge they're building. I suspect that this was filmed at that time. No way would they close the bridge just to film this guy regardless of how cool it is. The streets and traffic would have been pretty light due to the bridge closure too so it really would have been a good time to shoot this.
Kaleb Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Big deal I've seen some grandmas in Houston drive like this. Jk he is good, I will give him that but what would he do with a real car? Instead of the toys that I've seen him drive.
LAone Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 nice video, my 4yr old son loves watching these.. joshua, how much more of a "real car" do want him to drive?? that fiesta is at 850HP with a 4 banger(detuned to 650HP) in a shell that weighs no more than 2000lbs...it is a ford...lols
FASTBACK340 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Sideways in the air @ 5:40 made me back it up and watch again Yeah, I think that move got everyone's attention!
Kaleb Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Real car, as in old school muscle. Camaro, Mustang Fire bird.
58 Impala Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 The man can drive! I would love to go for a ride,you would definitely have to hang on!
crazyjim Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Where are all the people? I thought San Francisco had lots & lots of people.

Instead of the toys that I've seen him drive. Let me add my own two cents to this: To me, a REAL CAR is one that isn't built from tubing and carbon fiber with a fully race-prepped engine, and that actually rolled off of a factory production line!
Johan020 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Oke i know its not (a real car) but that side way jump is out of this world I cant see this kind of movies enough I LIKE GYMKHANA Edited July 11, 2012 by Johan020

Well, I beleive this car started as a body in white off the production line, does that count for anything
1320wayne Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 If you really paid close attention to the video you would also see that they didn't just make this run once but multiple times for multiple camera angles. The existing tire marks already on the street when he entered certain areas was a dead giveaway as well as different camera angles shot where you would see a remote camera or camerman in the view if it was one take. That is impressive to coordinate so many runs through this course in a city that large. I am a bit dissapointed though as he did take out a barrel when he was doing doughnuts around Pastrana. Seriously though, the man can drive.

Seriously though, the man can drive. Yea, I notice that as well, and my wife notice around the dirt bike area that he made at a least one white barrier thing go flying, plus the barrows he hit. The guy can drive, but I know it wasn't just one time in some areas, it was afew takes. Look at the trolly trucks.. look at the tire hoops around them, they are there before he gets there meaning he did that afew times. But he can drive good though.
Rob Hall Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Great video...my favorite of his series so far is the one filmed at the old race track in France...Montlhery... Let me add my own two cents to this: To me, a REAL CAR is one that isn't built from tubing and carbon fiber with a fully race-prepped engine, and that actually rolled off of a factory production line! Huh? That's silly...this car is a race car..as real as any other race car...like a NASCAR race car, Indy car, F1 car, drag car, etc...
