Awesome Gymkhana Video

[Tejano Scott]

Not sure if you guys follow Ken Block or not. The guy is a freaking bad ass. Here is a new(to me at least) video he put out from in San Francisco... Amazing stuff-

Saw that a few days ago, reminded me of the Gran Turismo video game. The rotating almost stop motion like camera angles and editing were awesome to watch, Ken Block definitely has a sweet job.

Dang! Ya gotta have deep pockets to shut down a city like S.F. and make a video like that.

Excellent driving BTW catching gobs of air while in a corner OFS !

If y'all haven't seen them before....all his gymkhana vids are on YouTube and outstanding!

Helps when a city is hurting for $$.

I wonder what they paid to be able to do that. I'm figuring the course had to be laid out in a simulator that he practiced in because he is way too polished for a first, blind run. The lack of skidmarks make me think he'd never actually run the real course before the video was shot.

There's not really a "course". Most of those scenes are a mile or more apart.

Just because I know it'll blow someone's mind: That is NOT the Golden Gate Bridge in that video. Just FYI.

Right because if it were the Golden Gate the downtown would be on the left, no the right.

Yep, and the bridge would have been two-way traffic and painted orange.
