  • DC and Ken Block present Gymkhana FIVE: Ultimate Urban Playground; San Francisco.
    Shot on the actual streets of San Francisco, California, GYM5 features a focus on fast, raw and precise driving action. Filmed over four days, director Ben Conrad and his team are back to work on their second Gymkhana production and delivered the entire city of San Francisco as Ken Block's personal gymkhana playground. DC Shoes also provided fellow DC athlete and longtime Ken Block friend, Travis Pastrana, to make a cameo appearance on his dirtbike, and S.F. resident Jake Phelps of Thrasher Magazine fame also makes a cameo as Block hoons S.F. in his most incredible Gymkhana yet.

      This man was part of the reason I chose to work on cars. 10 years later I'm still in the auto industry and it feels like home. He had a large influence on who I was when I was younger, and it's sad that during an event like this it becomes obvious to yourself.

    I remember watching this video with my dad 10 years ago, I was 8. I was obsessed with this guy, my dad and I played so much dirt 3 driving his gym 4 car around the free roam map. It was on my bucket list to meet Ken Block one day. My dad had to tell me constantly “he’s just a normal guy, he’s just a person” but this guy was my hero. He was the mascot of my childhood interests. He was exactly who I wanted to be when I grew up, zero differences and nobody else.
    I built lego cars and made stop motion videos based off of gymkhana. He got me into cars and racing and drifting, i would’ve missed out on so much if I never watched this video for the first time 10 years ago. Watching these videos reminds me how much I’ve grown, but also the ways I’ll always stay the same. Thank you Mr Block

Thanks for being so big of an inspiration not only for me, but for many many people. We'll carry you very special on our heart and memories forever ❤😪. We'll miss you, rest in peace our hero 🕊🕊💔

    Just about read Ken had left this world, which is hard to understand, especially because he was born just a little more than one year after me.
    Like Michael Schumacher (though not dead) it was also a tragic accident in the snow, after all the racing they both have done...
    I will remember him by seing or re-seing a lot of his groundbreaking, fun and entertaining videos.
    He always made a great and genuine appereance, and seemed to be a great man, that I think left a very good and lasting impression on this world, that he left way to soon!
    My thoughts will be with his family and his children, where Lia has been introduced in some of his videoes...
    Rest in peace, Ken...
