DC SHOES: KEN BLOCK GYMKHANA PRACTICE

[@riaisabel616]

This video was the first time I was introduced to Ken Block and since then I’ve followed his journey. I cannot believe he’s gone. I’m grieving this loss.

[@ChopperSickBalls]

Same… RIP LEGEND

[@leonardobarros9262]

Same feeling. I'm not believe yet

[@stolenchaser]

Wow... your here..

[@graysonmcleod7133]

RIP Ken. You inspired a generation of racers, gone but never forgotten. Legend.

[@Servio01]

had to come back here and revisit the very first video that sparked the popularity of such an eye-capturing style of driving. even before your passing, you were still always one-upping yourself with crazier stunts that simply seem impossible, thanks for all you've done Ken. certainly your light won't go out with the legacy you've left behind. thank you sir. rest well.

[@Alex.0470]

💔🏁

[@Redbikemaster]

This is it. This is the video that got me into Ken Block, gymkhana, rally racing, Subarus, ... Goodbye, #43, and thank you. You'll forever be a legend for me. A great guy on the track, and from what I hear an even better man off the track.

[@tghnt]

When I was a little kid I used to watch these GYMKHANA/DC Shoes videos over and over again with my father. This is why I became a car enthusiast (and I belive many guys for the same reason too). Rest In Peace you legend, I and the other car guys around the world would never forget you! Thank you for the memories and the entertainment you always gave us. Hope you do the biggest donuts and do some crazy stunts in heaven!

[@OGMITSRAGEFACTORWTHFJFEJFJEFJ]

Same for me, always with my father. This is why it bothers me more than Robbie Coltrane or Technoblade.

[@Ramkakh]

I cannot fathom the impact that gymkhana had on car culture as a kid on the early 2000. Rest in peace legend.

[@RiggsCo]

I watched this when I was 16 and you had a huge impact. RIP Ken. Keep shredding 🤘

[@christopherbarger6112]

Despite all 9 GYMKHANA videos, this is by far my favorite. I just can't get enough of that Subaru rumble. And it reminds us where Ken Block started with rally.

[@thatsgottahurt]

Just finished watching the entire Gymkhana playlist in one sitting. RIP Ken, you were a huge influence on my love of motorsport and if I saw your name I knew I was going to get an awesome display of driving on the absolute limit. ♥

Thank you ken block for all of your Gymkhana videos... This is the one that started it all and I will always remember it. RIP

[@SOAxZIPPER]

It's hard to think that I've been following Ken's journey through the gymkhana series, from the beginning. The series revitalized my passion in cars and motorcycles. To hear of his passing, is beyond heartbreaking. This one will hit the motoring community just as hard as Paul Walker's passing. Rest in peace #43

[@gj8128]

04-07 are the best years for the STi, 07 was the last year Subaru competed in wrc. This is the video that started it all. This will always be the best gymkhana video.

[@Lexolo999]

+G speed No, they competed in 2008. They used the hatchback for a couple rallies. But, by then, it was just too big to be competitive.

Absolutely agree i watched some of the other gymkhanas and they don't even come close to the first

[@nathanrodriguez3827]

No doubt brah 💙👑

[@aceHADOKAN69]

This has to be my favorite gymkhana video. Not only for the car ( thats just a bonus) but there are no silly special effects, just PURE driving!!! Ken Block at his finest!

[@pug2o5]

I was 16 years old when this came out. Probably the biggest influence for me getting into motorsport. Watched every gymkhana Video, Saw him Live with the Gymkhana Fiesta when he came to Australia. A Legend. Up there with the rest of the greats. While he may not have had the WRC success like Colin McRae or Richard Burns, he was certainly one of the most influencial in Rally/Gymkhana/Motorsports. Rest in Peace Ken. You will not be forgotten

[@bmunk75]

Still the best one of all of his gymkhana videos.

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

+bmunk75 Exactly. Simple, loud, and straight (or sideways) to the point.

[@Zubatec]

you are right !

[@Vindanae]

Just because of the subaru. I only like the mustang and this impreza... not that new impreza and fiesta...

[@joshwieand6979]

The WRX should never been designed as a hatch in the first place.

[@pimmen2403]

RIP legend! This is one of my favorite car videos ever.

[@youtubeviewer9523]

Rest easy Ken. I grew up watching your insane videos and you have inspired me and hundreds of millions of others. You were my hero and got me into rally racing. It truly will not ever be the same without you. Real legends never die, and your legacy will live on, in the heart of myself and many others. You revolutionized the car scene and bought it to the point it is today. As a fellow mountain biker and huge fan, I hope that you will be drifting the streets of heaven. Never forget to KILL ALL TIRES and GO FAST, RISK EVERY THANG. Thank you for everything you have done for me and so many others, and I truly hope that your legacy will never be forgotten. You may be gone, but never forgotten. RIP to my hero and an amazing human being. You will be sorely missed.

WOW. Amazingly said. Rest easy Ken.

The sound of that car gets me goose bumps! I miss the subaru and it's boxer engine in WRC!

[@Zubatec]

I still find this the most amazing gymkhana.. not only because the great boxer sound !

[@SivaMedia_]

I was a freshmen in High school when this came out. This made so many of us want a STI LOL You were the reason my love for motor vehicles kept evolving. 43 forever! RIP🙏🏽

RIP Ken Block a true legend with the greats like Peter Brock, Ayrton Senna, Colin McRae and Dale Earnhardt you will be missed by your fans, friends and family. Your mark on this world has been made and you will be remembered for ages to come.

[@SirLuicho]

Ain't against the evolution of all gymkhana videos, and even the Electrikhana tastes good, but THIS, is a holy grail. Not so much pre-production, not tons of cameras with multiple angles, just a sick heavy modified STI with a glorious boxer sound slashing tires.

[@MontyPython12]

Hawkeye scoobies will always be my favorite, all cause of this. Thank you Ken for the memories, far too soon to see you go. Have fun slaying tyres with Colin and Richard. RIP#43

[@cesarcartierofficial]

God is in control of everything, one of my dreams was to meet you, thank you because you helped with the bullying that my neighbors did to me because i was a child who did not have a computer but went to the cyber coffes to see each of your videos, you motivated me to want to learn english, there were always your videos, your interviews, your adrenaline and your vibe as well as the vibes that you transmit to them in your environment. You marked my life and although i feel sad, i smile because i know you died doing your taste, that is a sport, an art, a lifestyle and a wonderful talent. May god welcome you into his kingdom.

[@e2rqey]

Had to come back and watch this again. The end of the video (4:10) takes on an entirely new meaning..... RIP Ken, you are a legend.

No Ken block was part of Subaru rally team USA but I. 2009 he got an offer from fords WRC team to compete in the 2010 WRC Ford Focus RS WRC and he took it up making the change to ford completely.

[@DaniMacYo]

So sad your gone man. You’re the best at what you do. You are so entertaining and exciting to watch. The way you make your cars/truck dance is incredible. Just love watching you pull those shifts and hand brake like a bad ass and go full throttle all the way and carry insane speeds into a turn. Freaking legend. Thank you Ken Block for everything you have given us. 💔❤️

keep in mind the first thing he did to the ford was make it all wheel drive so it would handle more like an impreza

[@roybatty-]

duanesslide The Fiesta sounds like pure shit, and EL headers like in the 2nd one don't belong on an STI, I don't care how much HP they add.

[@Draylogic]

They had EL headers on this car too

[@mando1337]

Once a Subaru always a Subaru. Despite the affairs Ken had with Ford and Audi he'll always be a Subaru man through and through. Just like Colin McRae (1968-2007) and Richard Burns (1971-2005). Thank you for everything you have done, you will be greatly missed but you'll never be forgotten.

[@neargaming2057]

Ken's best at drivong AWD cars, so unless he went nuts with the Challenger GT AWD, the stunts wouldn't be the same.

[@casperr8644]

Heard of his passing this morning. So sad. He was amazing! Had to come back to watch this original video. When this came out I wanted a WRX sooo bad. Couldn't afford it and bought a Mazda Speed3 instead. Had a lot of fun in that car. My bro owned an STI and he sent me this video back then. I'll never forget watching this video over and over and sending it to everyone. Incredible driving and still brings a smile to my face today! RIP.

[@hoytarchery5302]

awd looks 10x better then rwd, go ahead spew overrated opnion below rwd looks boring as fuck shore it takes more skill by why have 2 wheels when you can have 4.

[@mrdjsubz]

+Brandon Powell You really think RWD would be boring? maybe not as fun for you, but drifting RWD can be done fast and you could do all he does with AWD.

[@Skydrag.V60]

I love both but AWD is the undisputed king of badassery

[@oliviersavard8676]

You're not even drifting in a AWD, you're powersliding. And no, I don't get your "RWD iz borin". AWD is for kiddos, it's only good in rally. RWD is for petrolheads. AWD is cancer.

[@mrdjsubz]

Olivier Savard Says the guy with the AWD Skyline in his pic.. It's technically powersliding for both. you're using the power of the car to slide the car. Let's face it, none of us are skilled to do any of it, so it's all awesome, and all hard.

[@Skydrag.V60]
