[Lightning's Garage] Watch Rally Racer Ken Block Tear Through The Universal Studios Backlots

Rally car racer (and co-founder of DC Shoes) Ken Block never ceases to amaze me, and his latest video in the Gymkhana series is no exception. For those who are unfamiliar, Gymkhana is an automotive sport that features crazy stunt driving mixed with drifting and tons of high speeds. The first 3 videos in the series have millions upon millions of views, and after watching just one of these, it’s easy to understand why.

Block’s driving skills are out of this world, and in the latest video he takes his fully-custom Ford Fiesta through the backlots of Universal Studios. Watch him fly by the infamous Bates Hotel, trams, the Jaws set, and even the Epic Meal Time guys make a cameo in it.

“Filmed over the course of five days, director Ben Conrad (Zombieland and 30 Seconds or Less) and his team at Logan deliver a Hollywood caliber production complete with pyrotechnics, massive stunts and a series of unbelievable tricks. Featuring robotic sharks, deranged zombies, and a hilarious cameo by the Epic Meal Time guys, Ken Block and his Hybrid FunctionHoon Vehicle (H.F.H.V.) bring the magic of Hollywood and gymkhana together.”
