Title: Can Your Bike Or Car Do This?
Post by: GregKhougaz on July 09, 2012, 04:34:18 PM
Wow!

DC Shoes founder and rally driver Ken Block takes his stunt driving to San Francisco in the fifth installment of his Gymkhana videos, burning up several sets of tires.

Block invades the city in his 600 hp Ford Fiesta race car via the Bay Bridge and proceeds to drift and jump his way through its streets, performing a bevy of impressive technical moves along the way. In two clips, he literally runs circles around a pair of moving cable car-look buses and his motorcycle racing pal Travis Pastrana, as the NASCAR driver performs a front wheel stand on his motor cross bike.

Although the film plays out as one continuous run through the city, it was filmed over several days with numerous takes at each location.

Now I know where JC learned to ride!   :huepfenlol2:

Holy crap! He's drinkin' way too much Monster energy drink! Great video! Can't even imagine what it took to get permits to do all that.

Just once I'd like to roll through SF with the streets that empty!

Greg,

Thanks for posting! 

Pretty sick driving that's for sure. I wish I had 1/4 of his money to close down San Fran, to make that awesome video.

Good Stuff,

YELLOWBIRD

Block has some talent.  That would be an incredible ride along.
