Seemed kinda mundane. Best part was the supercar drag race but it was to short. Not his best video by any means.

Berz out.

Gymkhana + The Hire would be epic.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels these videos are boring.

What's so cool about it? Yes it takes skills, but...I think i'd be more impressed if the car was more relate-able. I mean a rally specd cars that does donuts? yea...of course it does, impress us by using a production car

lol people complaining about watching videos now. I don't mind them personally. Yeah it might get repetitive, but if I hated it I wouldn't watch it. simple fix
918 Police car is overkill

He's also a mediocre driver as a professional. Crashed out of WRC several times, and has yet to win a Global Rallycross championship title despite coming close. The first one was a delight to watch, every one after was just a Rob Dyrdek-inspired vision of how far they can go to show off, catering to the denominator that sucks down Monster Energy Drinks and wears DC Shoes (no offense to those who like either).

This! It's all about branding, especially with Dyrdek. Not that there is anything wrong with that but these Gymkhana vids are getting so repetitive. San Fransisco was easily the best one.

mediocre professional driver but marketing his brand is where he shines. I give him a lot of credit for making retarded money by selling himself and his related products. Genius!

Pretty cool. But the original with the STi was so much more intense.

I could care less if ken block is an average rally driver...gymkhana was never meant to be taken seriously. I'm glad KB found an avenue to excel in and if it sparks someone's interest in motorsports/WRC who wouldn't otherwise care, then that's even better.

Seeing an econobox chassis modified to hell and back and get tossed around world class backdrops with great execution and production value is always a treat even if it's more or less the same formula.

good showmanship, great entertainment value...wonder where #9 will take us.
