“In life — from the simplest thing to the biggest thing —
I want to be proud of what it is and stake my claim: ‘That’s mine
and that’s how I do it.'” — Ken Block
Ken
Block (@kblock43 on IG and TW)
is a co-founder of DC Shoes and a professional rally
driver with the Hoonigan Racing Division.
His rally career began in 2005, and he won Rookie of the Year
that season in the Rally America Championship. Ken has
accumulated five X Games medals and achieved global fame through
his wildly successful viral series of Gymkhana videos.
Gymkhana videos (including all associated edits) have racked up
more than 500 million views, landing the franchise in Ad
Age’s top-10 viral video charts.
In January 2010, Block formed the Monster World Rally Team (later
renamed to Hoonigan Racing Division) and signed with Ford to
pursue his dreams of racing in the World Rally
Championship and in doing so, became one of only four
Americans to ever score points in the WRC.
His latest project is The Gymkhana Files, which takes
viewers behind the scenes of GYMKHANA TEN: The Ultimate Tire
Slaying Tour, a video that, as of this writing, just went up and
already has nearly 20M views. It’s all complete insanity.
