Gymkhana Seven

For the last three years I did posts on Gymkhana Four, Gymkhana Five, and Gymkhana Six. And this week, Hoonigan and Ken Block bring out their new Gymkhana video onto YouTube called: "KEN BLOCK'S GYMKHANA SEVEN: WILD IN THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES " (video below).

And just like Gymkhana Five, its shot on the streets, this time shot in Los Angeles, California instead of San Francisco, California, as he uses parts of the city a personal gymkhana playground to film around. But, instead of using his trustworthy 2013 Ford Fiesta ST RX43. This time Ken Block is using a 1965 Ford Mustang dubbed as the "Hoonicorn RTR" using a 6.7 litre V8 Rouse Ford engine producing 845 bhp and for a first time for any Mustang ever using four-wheel-drive. Enjoy the video below.

[HOONIGAN] KEN BLOCK'S GYMKHANA SEVEN: WILD IN THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES




What my thoughts about the video. Better than last years Gymkhana Six. And as equal as Gymkhana Five if you have to compare it with any of Ken Block's previous Gymkhanas. I thought it was still edited well, I enjoyed the aerial shots above as-well of the city; the multiple use of Go-Pro cameras' inside and outside on the Ford Mustang and usage of a drone in some scenes. Also, I enjoyed that Ken Block and his crew didn't used the Fiesta this time to hoon around and instead they used a custom made Mustang.

Overall I liked the video, is it better than the previous Gymkhanas' past? so far with nearly 11 million views on YouTube since Monday, its another 50 million views to catch up with Gymkhana Five record. Overall, a very cool video from Ken Block.

Bye.
