Ken Block - Gymkhana 5
http://youtu.be/LuDN2bCIyus
I know that Ken Block divides opinion, but if you think of it as theatre and enjoy the skill he shows it is entertaining. He's even managed to pick
up points in two WRC rallies this year.
Here he is San Francisco. You can see the rubber from his practice runs/multiple takes, but all it means is that he practiced!
Enjoy

Pretty cool stuff.
Looks like he lost a gopro doing the small jump coming back off the dock.

Interesting stuff. The part I find most impressive are the bits when he does a u-turn around a cone, and is actually drifting straight backwards with
his momentum, but doing a four-wheel burnout in a forwards gear. Very fancy stuff.

I find it a very enjoyable watch and one of his best for me so far (for all the poo pooers ... it is entertainment)
The scenery makes the driving all the more fun to watch
The fact that a car takes that kind of punishment is impressive to me too.
(yes I know there are many other examples of cars being tortured, Dakar ......)

Love the slow mo shots and the tight cornerwork. Very impressive.
The logistics alone to create this clip would be enough to do my head in.
I'm not a fan of this kinda driving on the street but I am impressed with his skills and the camera work.
I can see how this is a great way to show off such a beautiful city. I bet some citizens were not so keen about their bridges and streets being shut
down for a 10min Youtube clip. Ha!
