Ken Block Gymkhana Two – the infomercial

“Shame about the crappy advertising for kids shoes, but its a very nice piece of driving and awesomely shot” – Tim Burton.

Lots of you emailed in to recommend this second Gymkhana video, and we’re happy to add it to our video blog. We like Subaru’s new Impreza and seeing it driven as skillfully as this does nothing to diminish its appeal.

The film is a bit ‘hollywood’ and loses some of Gymkhana1′s original appeal, but despite being an advertisement for DC Shoes and specifically Ken Block’s new Rally TeamWorks Collection, it’s still worth a look.

    I agree it’s a bit smoke n mirrors but I defy any petrol head not to want a go in the car!

    @Tim Burton- I don’t know if yr aware of this but Ken Block is the co-founder of DC Shoes and although they’re not shy on their marketing efforts, I have owned a pair of their product and they were comfortable, hard wearing and offered pretty good feel and impact cushioning. Maybe the kids are onto something… ;)
