VIDEO: Gymkhana 2.1 - Electric Boogaloo: Block vs. Dyrdek
Gymkhana 2.1 - Block vs. Dyrdek – Click above to watch the video after the jump
Driftmeister Extraordinaire Ken Block is at it again, only this time, with a bit more of a sense of humor on display. The tire-immolating Subaru WRX STI rally driver has teamed up with pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek for a "Me and My Shadow" video extravaganza dubbed Gymkhana 2.1.
While we have to admit that the finished product isn't filled with as many jaw-slackeningly awesome moments as the pair of videos that proceeded it, it's an amusing coquet while we wait for Gymkhana 3.0, a film that will presumably involve a borrowed space shuttle, a runway full of banana peels, and at least one octogenarian goat herder. The 3:49 production is worth watching just for Dyrdek's custom "Mini Me" go-kart, which we want parked in our lawnmower shed yesterday. Enjoy watching the video after the jump, and be sure to check out the slightly less-than high-res images in the gallery below. Hat tips to Adam and Christian!

You need to get out more often. This was not good.

Saw "the making of" this video on Fantasy Factory the other day. Funny, because I never watch MTV. Just saw Ken Block sliding around so I left it on. It was much funnier watching it being made.

The first Ken Block Gymkhana video I saw was awesome. The second one had impressive driving but was grossly over-produced. This, in contrast, was lame.

would you like some cheese with your whine?

That might have been remotely funny had I actually been whining.

Forget about him RowFive, I agree with you and think this video was made by a bunch of goofy idiots. And mind you I'm die-hard Subaru myself.

People just have different senses of humour. To some, goofy equals funny. Let's just leave it at that.

@ 2:45 my mind is officially blown... does the WRX have tires or ice skates?

That was entertaining.
By the way, the first gymkhana video was cool, but I don't see why people are so enamored with it. Did Top Gear and Tiff Nedell spoil me? I found the IMVfilms parody of it more interesting to watch (if it was really done on non-public roads).

The Benny Hill theme song was entirely appropriate.
