View Full Version : Ken Block is at it again ( Sick Gymkhana video)
Question: Did he start DC shoes after becoming a world class driver or did he learn how to drive like that after starting DC shoes? Either way - the dude can toss a car around.

Think he is just sponsored by DC shoes. Rob Dyrdek started DC.

I think Dyrdek designed the first 12 DC Shoes. Seems like he was a Droors Clothing sponsored skater and DC was a spin off of that.
Back to the video, these Gymkhana clips are a lot of fun to watch. I am impressed with how somebody can be in control of a vehicle that is in many regards spinning out of control.

Ken Block and another guy started DC shoes, IIRC Block sold his stake in the company and is now working for them.

Not sure what the point of the knucklehead flatbiller with the paintball gun was, but it was otherwise very cool

Fricken incredible. Have to wonder how many takes they do to get each segment perfect. I noticed in some segments there was more rubber on the ground from previous attempts / practice then other segments. Regardless, 1 take, 100 takes, it is amazing stuff.

You only have one take on the warf like that. A little bit closer and he'd get really wet.
