Default Ken Block - Gymkhana Two

I don’t know if Admin want to sticky this thread or will want to post a more “official” looking one (in the hope that maybe, just maybe, it won’t get reposted 10,000 times) but, until such time, here’s the link for the video Subaru forum admin around the world have been dreading…

Ken Block - Gymkhana Two

Has Block done it? Has he given the hatchback Subaru some respect? Watch and judge for yourself!

How cool are the slow-mo shots!?!

I thought I'd wait for a few comments before I posted my thoughts on the video. I personally think its far inferior to the original. The original film seemed like a motorsport video, this seems more like a music video; too many special effects, too much advertising and far too much slow motion. Just too, well, American really.

Still, having said that, I'd like to think that if I had the money and resources, I'd spend my days charging round dock yards and getting shot at with paintball guns!

A few more bit's and pieces here inc some stills. He's a pretty good show man but not much or a rally driver, think he would be better suited to Drifting.

VIDEO: Ken Block's Gymkhana Two, more sideways thrills, sillier stunts

yeah quite good.

Not a big fan of the tight tube bits, but the other slow mo was used well.

Think the 1st was better, but 2nd certainly had some bits in it which were worthy to go in the 1st.

Bring on the 3rd lol

What an amazing car! The control he has over it is so impressive, but.... Why oh why do americans have to spoil everything? Why do we need big 'bling bling street' crap anywhere near any of that - RANT WTF is that fool with the paint gun up to - does he realise he looks like a total to$$er? It's as if the jackass team decided to have a go with an impreza FFS END RANT

But, yes the new hatch does look good, it's growing on me
