Sweet, I wish i could have alot of money to spend on cars and just have fun. Lol.

 

[Knox Joe]

I only recently found out he actually owned and founded DC Shoes.

 

[Flash5]

that wasnt a teaser, i wanted to see some footage!

 

[sensinitas]

^^It's coming

 

[altspace]

Nothing like good ol' self promotion. Like my ma used to say, "If ya got it, flaunt it", and Block does a great job at that.

 

[paylew]

Can't. Effing. Wait.

 

[altspace]

I can wait, not like it's a Mazda. I'd like to see what he could do with a RX-8.

You are correct - co-owner and founder of DC. He was at a meet yesterday in Chino Hills with both his Gymkhana cars and signing autographs. Check it: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1748272&page=24

I thought Rob Dyrdek was the founder?

Many people do but it's a myth. Rob was one of the first DC pro skaters. He might NOW have a ton of Quiksilver stock effectively making him an owner, but the company was founded by Ken Block and Damon Way.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Ah I see!

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

IIRC, Rob Dyrdek and Ken Block had a deal that if he could make a basket from half court, he'd own 1/3 of DC. He made the shot as far as I recall.

Checked the vid out. Can't wait to see the new one tomorrow.

If I could switch places with anyone, it'd be Ken Block. You're right, what's better than owning a kick ass shoe co. (which I currently sport and have for 6 years), having a s*** ton of money, and goofing off with cars.

 

[Olestra]

Crazy video...

566 whp STI whipping around at you while you stand there with a water balloon. Yes...

 

[Donas64]

Yup..my mind has just been blown.

*Spoiler ALERT below*













I honestly think the Round 1 Gymkhana was better. This one seemed to be more of "gags" than actual skill. Trust me when I say, I know the man has the skill (moreso, in fact, in his right pinky than my entire body). However, the flourescent bulbs, paintball gun, and explosions. The last one was more pure skill and less show. Sure the first one had the Segway gimmick and it was good for a laugh.

That all being said. The things I did like. When his rear bumper skimmed the barrel... awesome. Actually going underneath the trailer at the end... awesome. And just generally being able to steer a car that's out of control while in control.

First Round Gymkhana: Score 10 out of 10.
Second Round Gymkhana: Score 9-3/4 out of 10.
Third Round Gymkhana?!?: I'll be waiting.

Ken Block Gymkhana Two The Infomercial

Sorry, no Mazdaspeed -- just a jacked STI. The good stuff is 1:06 to about 5:30 -- the rest is the 'infomercial'.

I actually agree with you.
