Ken Block's Gymkhana FIVE

Always enjoy these videos. The sideways jump was my favourite.
How did they manage to shut down so many streets in San Francisco? Isn't that terribly expensive?

 

Sideways jump FTW. Man that guy has large attachments.

 

thats funny the sideways jump that was the best!! the donut around Pastrana doing a wheelie was pretty awesome too.

 

ya and with no one on the street had to be difficult cause it always busy there

 

I'm figuring that was done with a bunch of takes. I don't think that much road could be closed for as long as the video took to shoot. Although I may be wrong, won't be the first time.

 

No doubt it was many takes just look at the road. Still though I can't imagine it is cheap to shut down roads. They must sell lots of shoes to make it up.

 

I just read something that mentioned they filmed it over 4 days. It jumps from one part of the city to the next, so must have been recorded in segments.

 

hehe.......love this stuff

 

that was sick

 

im going to look for all the marks the next time im there in a week or two

 

Ken Block must carry his around in a wheel barrow....sideways jump and drifting on a barge in the Bay....BIG ONES!!!

 

They pulled in PD officers on overtime and CHP closed the Bay Bridge. It cost 'em 50K to pay for that... They filmed for four days and went back and washed off the rubber as best as they could, to satisfy the City..... The rest will wash away when it rains next.

 

Fun to watch, and the sideways jump was damn cool.

 

Im thinkin that if I find myself in a sideways jump it is not going to come out so well and it won't be because I planned it.:eek6:

 

Wonder what all the S.F. lefties think about that???!!!!!

 

Not much. It's not unusual to have street closures for filming, and there's a tradition to uphold.

 

That was cool......had to watch the video all over again!

 

I'll bet Ford loves him...
