Ken Block’s Gymkhana Five

For all you Ken Block and rally fans out there check out the new Gymkhana Five video from Ken Block!  Filmed over four days on the  streets of San Francisco there are some very cool scenes going both up and down the streets of this famously hilly city. The slow motion cinematography, true to form in this series, is also fantastic.

Enjoy!

Hot Wheels Double Loop de Loop at 2012 X Games

As reported earlier this month Team Hot Wheels has just completed another world record stunt.  This time a double loop de loop at the 2012 X Games in Los Angeles California.

I don’t know about you but the inside car seems to be traveling too slowly on the approach to get all the way around the loop, but of course they performed the stunt successfully, so speed obviously wasn’t a factor.

Good control on the landing after the little bounce from the second vehicle.

Making of/teaser video below:

 

Honda Indy Car on Tea Cups

Check out this display of a Honda Indy Car perched on top of four bone china tea cups. The car was part of a promotion outside a china and glassware store in Toronto, Canada for the upcoming Honda Indy.

Cup of tea anyone?

Each cup is supporting 387 pounds. Impressive to say the least!

Catching A Golf Ball in an AMG Roadster

Check out this video of former F1 driver David Coulthard catching a golf ball hit by pro golfer Jake Sheperd. The car caught the ball 275 metres away from the tee.

Here is the behind the scenes video on how the stunt was set up.

Parallel Parking Record

I don’t know about most people, but the RedlineNorth Team feel they are pretty good at parallel parking. Perhaps that comes from living in an urban environment and the necessity of having to parallel park on a frequent basis. Whatever the reason the following video shows drivers taking parallel parking to a whole new level. It’s from a recent Guinness World Record attempt in China. While records eventually get broken I don’t know how someone is going to top this. Remember kids don’t try this at home with Daddy’s new BMW!
