Gymkhana Nine Is Here!

13 Sep 2016

Originally planned to be made in Australia, but the Australia government and its anti-hooning laws for some reason didn’t want to give a company called Hoonigan permits so…

Don’t try to outrun trains…

Speaking as an Australian, I really hate Australia’s anti-car-fun culture. I could go on a massive rant about it, but this probably isn’t really the place. Instead I shall say this: Damn that was awesome.

Australian government seems determined to make everything less fun.

That rear tire on the edge of the dock… daaaaaamn!

Thank you Labour voters

I’m so salty the Australian Government ruined this opportunity for us >:(

Probably took Ken a while to train for this..

I feel the 7 was the best

I think this was. They took it back to doing awesome stuff without worrying about the scenery.

When the hype for FH3 isn’t enough, just get Ken Block to do a Gymkhana video!

To be honest with y’all, this was the best one he’s made in recent memory. Next to no adverts, just very subtle ones from ford, monster and Forza Horizon 3. it was more about Ken doing Ken sh!t with his car and less about throwing a brands name out there, and it was amazing

I dunno. I really want a horrible tasting drink that’s going to make me jittery for an hour before leaving me to crash and feel like a nap…

I think we might now know the pre order bonus car for FH3…

Oh so that’s what the drift mode does on the RS. Thanks, going to try it out soon.

Australia be like

I was wishing for a walltap. My wish has been granted :D

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this comment and some will say that I don’t have Ken Block’s skills, but isn’t this Gymkhana stuff getting repetitive?

You can consider me an ignorant in this subject…

It is, but at the same time it’s an incredible exhibition ad a specific skill set.

We live in a world of too much of everything on tap… But boobs never get boring.

That’s all I’ve got.

Speedmaster, I agree with you. And I don´t think a lot of skill is needed when you are not paying for the wrecks, and tooks 1 millon takes to shoot it right.

I believe it as a yearly thing. Gymkhana 8 released not too long ago, and this just feels like an ad for Forza Horizon 3. The previous ones, like in San Fran and Dubai felt special. This one just feels rushed…

I think the previous one was interesting only because of the car (that Mustang), and this one had some parts that were special, like the donut where the rear tire was right on the edge, plus a brand new car (I was getting a bit fed up with the Fiesta’s)
Most of the others are very similar to each other and do not add anything new.
Big exception is the one in San Fransisco because of the jumps and the first one because, well, it was the first.
