Video: Gymkhana THREE, Part 2… the Ultimate Playground
We were pretty excited when DC Shoes Film released Gymkhana THREE, Part 1 – only to be disappointed by a glorified music video. Well, Block has just released Gymkhana THREE, Part 2 and we honestly don’t know why you’re still here reading this…
A short intro:
Shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l’Autodrome de Linas –Montlhéry, this 1.58 mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees, which is more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals. Chosen by Ken for this specific reason, the ramp-like banking proved to be a unique and exciting challenge. The driving physics for the stunts performed were totally unknown until Ken attempted the maneuvers during filming.
Hit the jump for the video.
