Video: Ken Block Gymkhana Two
June 2, 2009 by George Skentzos
Ken Block is truly a business genius, having originally founded the DC Shoe company his latest endeavor sees him flaunting his brand from behind the wheel of a highly-modified Subaru Impreza WRX STI for the official Ken Block Gymkhana Two video, dubbed ‘the Infomercial’.
Block is not ashamed to embrace the marketing roots of his latest sideways antics, introducing the film with a short blurb encouraging viewers to ‘purchase the products when prompted to do so’ – if only all commercials were as impressive as this.

This guy is a genius, but I need you to buy me a new, gruntier computer with a faster processer so I can watch it in full-screen, free of jerkiness.
Superb driving! and production work even if it is an ad ;)
Check out Ken’s face at 2:49 minutes in the third video, priceless.
Fantastic Driving and the amount of power that car has to be able to be driven like that is stupendous
That was awesome!!
Fantastic driving. Wait till the do-gooders whinge about that though.
Nice driving – but I hate Yanks and their showboating.
I’d have wrapped it round the first bollard. Loved the bit where he was soooo close to going off the jetty. Wooo!
haha gold!! love that sound clip as well.
Awesome skilled
i enjoyed the first video better though
Tyres going cheap. Only used once. Tested and working just fine.
Would love to see Mr Block in the WRC, might give Loeb a run for his money? :D
VW Freak are you for real? Just because he can ’stage’ a show like this has nothing to do with Loeb’s ability to race a rally car. Block would get obliterated. Maybe after 2 or 3 seasons he might become competitive.
See all the rubber on the road? Thats a day well spent!
Robin Graves, Block actually has a rather impressive background in rally, most recently with three overall wins in the 2008 Rally America.
He has even bested Colin McRae at the first ever X Games rally event on a mirrored course where both drivers raced simultaneously.
