Ken block's gymkhana eight: Dubai

[Mad]

Been waiting for this to come out , my wife woke me up at 7 AM saying Ken Block is drifting in the neighborhood (the drag with Super Cars scene) but there was much more drifting clips that they didn't use

Enjoyable to watch, as always. But I wasn't really wowed this time. The guy's ability to control a car is tremendous but it's almost as if they didn't put the same effort to get those really dramatic shots like they normally do. Idk just my opinion.

I was more wowed by the beauty of Dubai. It was a repeat of all the same he's done before, donuts in a box, donuts around a cone, etc. I agree with Kato.

He has some really impressive vehicle control that is said without a doubt. Not a bad video, had some interesting shots, but it almost seemed as though it was imitating a video game at least that is the feel that I got from it. Like GTA meets Need For Speed or something.

I do get what you're saying - I do still like watching it. This was one of my favourite moments of his in #5(I know simple things and all that)

How about the last 15 seconds of the video? Releasing his gymkhana 9 RS....that thing looks sick.

Always fun to watch... Love seeing the red Ford GT.

I liked the video, but do agree with everyone that he could use some new "twists on his moves." I guess that my favorite is the 65 Mustang though

 

[waylander]

same basic idea as the Gymkhana vids but (to me) way, waaaay better...


recoil 2 (I'm sure it's been posted before but it's still cool)

 

[Mad]

it feels like a commercial for Dubai and Ford at the same time, I love both so it's cool

I'll try to find and post the videos I took from my window while they were filming

 

[stkjock]

hell of a motor pool that police force has......

I'll say the same thing I said every other time... they're really good at editing a lot of takes into one usable video...

A couple of scenes where there wasn't a bunch of black marks on the ground in front of the car, so I'm a little impressed with that, but the dude runs into things too much for me to call him amazing. If you want amazing, you look to Tanner Foust, the mulholland run he did and the story behind it show what an actually amazing driver can do.

I like this one. A lot.

I like this one. A lot.

Absolutely 100% agree. The gymkhana fad is pretty much dead to me, I think they put the horse to pasture a while ago.

 

[GallopingFord]

The Hoonicorn Mustang is hard to top and I just didn't see this doing it. Nonetheless, a good video.

 

[JUSTA3V]

Perfect way of putting it.

 

[tjm73]

I got bored watching it. Gave up half way through.

 

[NastyStang113]

I never saw the Recoil videos so many thanks!

Jumpin a truck is cooler than drifting a car. Sorry Ken.. lol

I agree... lol the last one was so much better... only good part about it was at the end when they showed his new Focus RS rally car....

Now that's a small car I like! Dubai looks beautiful too.
