Bullitt’s got nothing on Block.

DC Shoes founder and professional rally driver Ken Block has taken his brand of insane stunt driving to the streets of San Francisco in the fifth installment of his series of viral Gymkhana videos, which are designed to burn up the web as well as several sets of tires.

In it, the extreme sports star invades the city in his 600 hp Ford Fiesta racecar via the Bay Bridge and proceeds to drift and jump his way through its streets, performing a bevy of impressive technical moves along the way. In two clips, he literally runs circles around a pair of moving cable car-look busses and his motorcycle racing pal Travis Pastrana, as the NASCAR driver performs a front wheel stand on his motorcross bike.

By the tire tracks it took more then one take. But cool anyway.

Here is another cool oldy. This was done in the early morning in Paris in live traffic blowing 18 red lights.

Thanks for sharing. Amazing production. As a videographer, I can’t imagine the work that went into that video.

The Bullitt chase scene, if watched carefully, has the same two cars plodding through several scenes to make it look like "Lightning" McQueen is going faster than he really is. There is a VW Bug and an old Pontiac.

surprised the city of SF would allow someone to have fun at the expense of “mother earth”

must have paid a heck of a bribe.
