"Big man almost kill lil' man."
Last year, DC's Ken Block released "Gymkhana Practice," a video of him drifting in his rally car through obstacles littering an empty airfield. Apparently, this is gymkhana. Earlier this year, he released part two. Now, Rob Dyrdek and Ken Block have followed up with Gymkhana 2.1, a Fantasy-Factory-style spoof (for lack of a better word) of the past Gymkhana videos, with a miniature rally car, a motorized spirit animal scooter and plenty of near misses. I know what you're thinking. What does this have to do with skateboarding? Well, it isn't directly skateboard related. However, DC was originally a skateboard shoe company, co-founded by Ken Block, with Dyrdek as one of it's original riders. Whether you're into rally cars or not, it's worth a look.
