What a weekend!  On Saturday, co-founder of DC Shoes, World Rally Championship driver, and internet sensation, Ken Block brought his Gymkhana World Tour to Melbourne.  8000 motorsports fans streamed in to Calder Park Raceway to watch Ken race, spin, and slide his Ford Fiesta around the Gymkhana course.  Ken was “supported” by Monster Energy’s stable of other motorsport drivers and cars, such as V8 Supercar driver Jamie Whincup, stunt rider and ute drifter Mat Mingay, and Drifter Rob Whyte, to name just a few.  Tara & I were lucky enough to get access to the VIP section, where we got to meet Ken and get photos and autographs.

I took a few videos of Ken doing his thing, two of which even appeared on the Monstery Energy website!!!  Video 3 & 4 on this page.

Or check them out here:

This is Ken doing the Gymkhana course, throwing his Ford Fiesta around like a mad man!

This move is call the “Donut Box” as Ken exited this manouvre, the back of his car passed only a foot in front of me.  Leaving me in a cloud of smoke, and covered in chunks of rubber!

Ken finished the show with one of his signature moves… Doing donuts around a guy on a segway!

I also took a heap of photos which can be found on Flickr: Here.

It was such an awesome day, the highlight had to be getting in the Monster VIP section and actually meeting Ken, as well as hanging out with the other riders/drivers, drinking free Monster!  It was like a dream come true.
