VIDEO: TRAVIS PASTRANA’S WORLD RECORD RALLY JUMP – CRASH @ PRACTICE

January 5th, 2010 — 2010 Subaru, Crashes, Donuts, Fun, Videos

It’s real, and it’s spectacular. Travis has been practicing short distance jumps in preparation for his record setting rally jump… and not all of them have gone so well.

He’s fine. The car, not so much.

VIDEO: KEN BLOCK GYMKHANA SPOOF IS CRIMINALLY AWESOME

December 29th, 2009 — Donuts, Drifting, Fun, Videos

Who said that you need a Crawford-tuned Subaru WRX STI, a stratospheric budget and an abandoned airport to serve up the thrills? With a beaten base Impreza, a few sets of tires and enough fireworks to send Patton cowering under a desk, the creators of Scumballers and Team Torque have created ten full minutes of epic hoontastic footage, although it looks like much of the vehicular tomfoolery takes place on open public roads, something we don’t exactly approve of or recommend.

VIDEO: KEN BLOCK AND TRAVIS PASTRANA’S STUPID HUMAN TRICKS

December 26th, 2009 — 2009 Subaru, Donuts, Drifting, Fun, Motorsports, News, Videos

We’ve seen Ken Block and his gang of misfits perform plenty of crazy cool stunts in their Crawford-built 2009 Subaru WRX STI. Block’s stupefyingly accurate power slides never seem to get old, no matter how many times we see his 566 horsepower (at the wheels!) STI come within millimeters of disaster. It is cool, however, to see Block and his friends add a little something extra this time around.

After the jump is video of Block and Travis Pastrana (on a motorcycle) having a good old time setting some land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. The STI is still present and accounted for in all its adhesion-defying glory, but the speed records are being sought on some garbage cans, a big wheel, and "a $3 Wal-Mart plastic sled." Looks safe to us.

For some reason, some members of Block’s team decided it would be a good idea to try to jump on the hood of the STI while it was doing donuts on the salt flats, and one of them ended up getting side-swiped and bounced off Block’s rear wheel like a rag doll. That’s gotta hurt.

VIDEO: GYMKHANA 2.1 – BIG SCOOBY VS NOT-THAT-BIG SCOOBY

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.

Make sure that you’ve watched first two parts of Gymkhana: Gymkhana 1 Drift Practice, Gymkhana 2 Subaru Drift Madness.
