Gymkhana Two - The Infomercial
Gymkhana TWO: the wildest infomercial in the world. That's a big claim when you're competing with Billy Mays or the ShamWow Guy, but the second installment of the Gymkhana video series brings it. Fire, smashing glass, paintball assault, near-death crash dummy moments, and explosions. Need we say more?

Season 1:
The one that started it all. The video that not only redefined car culture, but transformed car media itself. No CGI or sped up footage to be found - only real driving born from Ken Block's rally driving skills. This is the video that launched an empire, and spawned countless imitators. This is Gymkhana.
Gymkhana TWO: the wildest infomercial in the world. That's a big claim when you're competing with Billy Mays or the ShamWow Guy, but the second installment of the Gymkhana video series brings it. Fire, smashing glass, paintball assault, near-death crash dummy moments, and explosions. Need we say more?
In his never-ending search for unique places around the world to thrash his racecars, Ken Block happened upon one of the world's steepest surviving oval tracks: Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry. Transitioning from the street car based Subarus from previous Gymkhana films, to his new purpose-built Ford Fiesta rallycross car, Gymkhana THREE took the series to a new level. It also marks the first appearance of Scotto in a Gym film – just look for the tall dude on the Segway.
If Gymkhana TWO was an infomercial, then Gymkhana FOUR is the ultimate Hollywood Megamercial. Ken Block gets free reign to smash through (sometimes literally) the backlot of Universal Studios California, from preserved movie sets to sound stages and emptied out filming pools. Only there aren't any Hollywood style film effects here - just pure, raw hoonage.
Gymkhana FIVE: the pinnacle of hooning through city streets. San Francisco might as well be a tarmac rally stage, between all of its jumps, elevation changes, switchback streets, and naturally occurring obstacles. This one might just be our favorite Gymkhana video of all time.
Gymkhana SIX: a life size glimpse into Ken Block's dream Gymkhana course. A real-life automotive playground/skatepark, with obstacles that would be completely out of place on any other racecourse on the planet: including Segway cops, construction equipment, chopped up shipping containers, Lambos, and more.
WILD IN THE STREETS. Ken Block built one of the world's wildest Ford Mustangs ever, the 845hp AWD Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR. Naturally, he had to make a video to show off what it's capable of - and what better place than the raw streets of Los Angeles. Pretty much what you'd imagine it would be like to be on of the sole survivors in a post-apocalyptic cityscape, equipped with one of the greatest hooning vehicles ever built.
Dubai - a place that has been breeding automotive folklore for decades. Exotic vehicles, sleeper builds, desert thrashing, and a devil-may-care attitude about it all. AKA the perfect place for HHIC Ken Block to bring one of his favorite racecars - the Ford Fiesta RX43 - and use the city and its surrounding areas as his ultimate exotic playground.
Gymkhana NINE: Raw Industrial Playground. This video returns to the roots of HHIC Ken Block’s 550+million view viral video franchise with pure, raw driving action at center stage once again. Co-starring is his 600+ horsepower Ford Focus RS RX that he competes with in the FIA World Rallycross Championship.
Building upon the award-winning viral video franchise of Gymkhana films—and directed and produced entirely in-house at Hoonigan—Gymkhana TEN takes viewers on an epic journey to 5 very unique and different locations with 5 very unique and different vehicles.
More than a decade-long rivalry between friends and rally drivers Travis Pastrana and Ken Block has culminated in a passing of the torch. Travis Pastrana is trying his hand at his own Gymkhana film, shot and edited by the same crew that makes all the Gymkhana films: Hoonigan Media Machine.
After a billion total views across 10 wildly successful Gymkhana Films, setting the current bar for automotive action movies, Ken Block is back with a new partner to launch the future of Gymkhana. Driving an entirely bespoke machine developed and built by Audi, Ken Block is electrifying Gymkhana in the first ever Electrikhana! To provide the perfect setting for the 800 volt, bi-motor, AWD Audi S1 Hoonitron’s tire-slaying debut, Hoonigan Media Machine shut down one of the busiest cities in the world: LAS VEGAS.
Leave it to Travis Pastrana to give us one of the most rowdy Gymkhana videos ever -- a jet, a chopper, boats, a scoot-ski, 165mph jumps, and more pucker moments than we'd like to remember. If this is what a Pastrana family vacation looks like in Florida, sign us up.
