Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino tested the “H.F.H.V.” Ford Fiesta at Sayers Brook Bison Ranch in Missouri this week, gearing up for the 100 Acre Wood Rally in Rally America. This is one of two stops Ken will make in Rally-America, with the other being at Olympus Rally in Seattle, WA. Due to an impressive [...]
Do you ever have one of those OMG moments when watching a “special” or “unique” video on YouTube? Well, I just had that moment when watching Ken Block spoof himself with the help of actor/comedian Nick Swardson in an interview asking questions about Blocks 2012 race season. Everything is totally unexpected in this video. From [...]

Today Codemasters revealed the first official trailer for their new addition to the DiRT series “DiRT Showdown“. At first I thought this was the sequel to DiRT3 but Codemasters will be the first to tell you that a sequel this is not! In…
Love him or hate him, Ken Block is a marketing genius who, like King Midas, turns everything he touches into gold. Take the sport of Gymkhana for example: shredding tires in a parking lot used to be good for a ticket or two, but now it’s a multi-media extravaganza, complete with crowds, explosions, jumping motocross [...]
By now, almost everyone on the internet has seen Gymkhana Four. If you haven't, do so now before proceeding. So with that, let's take our second and final look at the production of the film…….(read more)
With every Gymkhana video he releases, hoon savant Ken Block subjects himself (and the people who help make those snuff-films-for-tire-lovers a reality) to the herculean task of making each sequel top its predecessor. But so far, they’ve arguably succeeded. The first was a fairly simple affair set at an abandoned military air base deep behind the Orange Curtain. It was followed by a noticeably more outrageous flick taking place on the docks of San Pedro (Fun fact: Many SoCal natives pronounce it “San Peedro,” which is no doubt the high school Spanish teacher equivalent of a dog whistle.), while it was in turn succeeded by the franchise’s first trip outside the U.S., specifically a historic autodrome outside the City of Lights.
So how do you top that last one? Apparently, you come back to the City of Angels and make prodigious use of the resources of the region’s best known industry. Is the final result – titled Gymkhana 4: The Hollywood Megamercial – sufficiently over the top, or does it fall flatter than an anorexic manta ray? Make like the General Lee and judge for yourself.
Here it is, what you have all been waiting for, Ken Block in the new Gymkhana FOUR; The Hollywood Megamercial. Hit up the jump for some serious hoon action like you have never seen before… well, sort of! Ken Block pulls out all of the stunts in the latest Gymkhana FOUR and he is on [...]
The Gymkhana short film series have done what many other automotive films try to do but fall rather short: these films broke that tightly wound automotive mold and broke into the mainstream. With the first film hovering somewhere around the 10 million….
(Please visit the site to view this media) Ken Block's Gymkhana series has always been about driving prowess. Though there's been a few slap stick gimmicks thrown in the past few installments, in its essence, it has still been about the just dr…
