Less than a year ago we witnessed the uber talented action sports / X Games / DC Shoes founder super hero Ken Block jump his WRX STi Video rally car 171 feet and a max height of 25 feet for the Discovery Channel show Stunt Junkies. Prior to this monster jump we also saw his Ken Block Gymkhana Practice Video which was done in his 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi prepared by Crawford Performance which pushes 530 whp! Checkout his newest toy: Ken Block Subaru TRAX STi which I photographed at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

Gymkhana (jim-kah-nuh) is an automotive sport that takes place on an open field ord parking lot and requires drivers to skillfully maneuver their cars around a series of cones, slaloms, 180 degree turns, 360 degree turns, figure eight turns or other obstacles using extreme acceleration, braking, and drifting.

Similar to ‘autocross’, Gymkhana courses are often very complex and memorizing the course is a significant part of achieving a fast time.

The southern California native has excelled in skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross and, in the last few years, rally racing.
