Now that X Games 15 is out of the way, and there are only a couple more rallies here on American soil this year, Ken Block has a little more time to focus on - fun(?). He's the mad scientist of slip and the doctor of drift, Ken Block has rocked the automotive world by redefining what a "car video" looks like. When he and Rob Dyrdek get together, the action gets a little less serious - if you call getting hit by a rally car "not serious." Check out the debut of Gymkhana 2.1 on Fantasy Factory tonight.

From the release: Gymkhana 2.1 takes the epic cinematography and driving from Block that you ve cometo expect from the Gymkhana videos and mixes in Dyrdek and his mini-Gymkhana kart. The two, who have worked together and been good friends since Dyrdek joined the DC skate team in 1995, decided to get the kart built and film the clip when Dyrdek made an appearance in the Gymkhana TWO video earlier this year. A custom mold was made to build it nearlyidentical to Block s Subaru Impreza WRX STI (except for the head-out-the-roof part). The kart was wrapped in the same graphics as Block's competition rally car, and a custom fireproof, FIA certified driving suit just like Block s was even made for Dyrdek by Alpinestars.

The complete version of Gymkhana 2.1 features more of what's seen on Dyrdek s hit MTV show. Filmed in the same high-quality, HD style as the previous installments of Block s Gymkhana videos,Dyrdek and Block brought the filming crew to El Toro Airfield to document the whole thing. The Gymkhana 2.1 video features all the near run-overs, drifting, racing and shenanigans that occur when two unique individuals like Dyrdek and Block hit the tarmac in polar-opposite-sized whips.
