VIDEO: Hot For Words investigates Ken Block's Gymkhana
Can you believe it's been one solid year since we first saw Ken Block's eye-popping, mind-numbing, death-defying Gymkhana video? How time flies when you're hooning it at 11/10s.To celebrate this monumental moment in the history of car-related YouTubeage, DC Shoes (Mr. Block's extreme sports clothing company) has gone ahead and put together an "investigation" into the whole Gymkhana phenomenon. And if you can get past (or get into, take your pick) Marina's highly modified assets, the video's loaded with some good stuff.
For instance, Block never intended to start a cult of Gymkhana. He'd built up a 530 hp Subaru WRX to compete in a Gymkhana event that was canceled leaving Ken with a car but no race. And get this -- over 24,000,000 people have watched the original Gymkhana video -- that's more folks than have watch all of Harmony Korine's last three movies, times two! And if you don't like this video, hop on over to 0-60mag.com, where they've not only got the Hot For Words clip, but a full seven pages of Ken Block/Gymkhana related footage. One hoon to rule them all indeed. Full video, after the jump.

If that's the case, I'm going to have to sit down for a long talk with my parents... and a therapist.

It looks like the had even more plastic surgery, which is why her eyes are so open and bug-like. I don't think she looks like a man, just less like a woman...
...disgusting.

the only thing more annoying than her voice was the lack of any real information in a 5+minute video
if your gonnna say "Ken" 4,000 times, work on saying it without your unattractive accent
"keeyon"
(maybe i'm just extra cranky tonight)

I agree with you Jim. Her accent is really annoying.

Looks to me like she's been sampling to much of the product.

Hahaha...I don't know how many other people will get it, but I really appreciate the slight against Harmony Korine. That guy's movies make me want to take a nap with my head in the oven.

Hey, "Gummo" is very cool! And has one of the best soundtracks of any movies - Sleep, Brujeria, Burzum, Bethlehem....
