WOW, watching all these old gymkhanas makes me realize how much Ken's films changed the landscape for car culture and videos, and where they started to where they are now. Incredible stuff. I remember sitting around my friends house watching these on his Blackberry at the end of highschool, then remembering the dawn of the HD era and how the "gopro" tech changed so much and had us saying HOLY SHIT with every Gymkhana release. Hard to believe that in 2008, most of us still had flip phones that were just starting to be able to take videos, social media was still fun and free of addictive algorithms, and the internet was still jaw droppingly amazing where every new viral video had us gathered around the same screen actually watching together and sharing an experience. Thanks for every moment of that experience Ken, I'm grateful to have been in the right time and place to watch these kick ass year after year.
CJ4EBAY,, your comment actually is what helped make Ken Block a household name for we who enjoy the world of automobiles. The Hoonigan family AND the film making, that is what brought that amazing man into our psyche where he will reside forever. Thank you to all those people who made these amazing videos possible.
Well said brother. I graduated in 02 and I too remember when the internet wasn't a corporate dumpster. I don't think anyone will ever believe us in 30 years, what it was actually like. We got al the best parts of the net and Hooning
Currently 26yrs old and this man opened my eyes to a whole other level of insane driving... how life can be taken in an instant.... RIP Ken..... Your legend will live on forever!!!!🙏😭
Ken was, is and will always be a legend for what he did for action sports, entertainment, branding, rally and just generally being an awesome, stand-up guy. He is loved and missed and not forgotten!!!
Hooked since the original Gymkhana. It was an honor and a pleasure to have witness your uprising. Blessed by your AMAZING achievments. KB43 will always be revered and remembered🙌Thanks for the awesome moments!!!!
Ken lives in my head rent free. In 08' I was 7 years old and I can still remember when I had to go to the gov. Building where my grandmother worked cause I wouldn't have a ride home from school when my mom had a Dr appointment. I can remember it picture perfect to the T when my grandmother wanted to show me a video she saw on her computer and she pulled it up. That video was "gymkhana practice". Ever since I saw that video, my love for anything that has at least a motor and 2-4 wheels has never stopped growing. My grandmother along with Ken completely changed my life and I can't say with %100 certainty that this man was a major role in my life, the love and admiration is limitless. Thank you so much for everything Ken and may good rest his soul.❤
Ken Block was the modern day Ken Miles!!!! Are Evil Knieves but with a car!!! I'll never forget what Ken said it's not how fast you drive it's how smooth of a driver you are!!!!❤
I used to root for him back in the days when he wasn't well known yet in the rally world or on RU-vid. He was a great racer that got the recognition he deserved. He surely will be missed. 🤗
grew up a fan of Evos, bought a Subaru as my first sports car instead. thanks for reminding me why 😂 Block x Dyrdek video lived in my head rent free for weeks miss ya #43
Watching the earlier Videos makes you realize how far it's come, & the incredible levels that not only Ken & Travis were/are at in the newer videos but also the production & creativity levels are leveled up several steps. It's a damn shame Ken isn't here to keep growing this thing more as we all know he would've easily. I guess our only solace is know that Travis is gonna run with it in amazing ways, and Ken's daughter, I'm certain will be there alot sooner than later if I had to bet! Always Bet On BLOCK!
man this compilation brought tears of joy to my eyes, it's a pity that we won't see ken do more amazing and breathtaking things like these, he was an inspiration to many including myself, R.I.P Ken❤️
What a compilation video! What a legend and speak about sheer drivability. Ken changed driving forever, RIP Ken you are a Legend in your own right. There is nothing this guy can't do in a car.
I remember watching 1st and 2nd episode seems like it was yesterday. Opening and watching this video gives me chills down the spine how time flies away… Back then as a little kid it inspired me to open my NFS U2 choose my EVO and combo slide inbetween the trains and jumping ramps sideways in COAL HARBOUR WEST AREA. Today you’re here, tomorrow who knows.. Damn. BIG LEGEND!
Man.. This hurt. He influenced the type of cars that I love. He influenced my degree choice (Business Econ) and told me that you can have fun while pursuing your passions. I got two speeding warnings in the last year for you Block! Its more amazing when you realize my car only has 100 hp.
Thank you for putting all of his amazing Gymkahana master pieces all together like this! I saw his first one back in 06 when I was in high-school and the rest is history! RIP to an icon!
From the beginning to the end.... We were so lucky to have Ken do his thing. The motorsport industry (from RU-vidrs, to racers, etc..) would not be what it is without Ken Block's passions and the people who were helping him along the way. Thank you to all of The Hoonigans and the Block family as well. May you all get to touch the stars you reach for.
My Audi a4 Quattro still sports the [HOONIGAN] brackets on the rear window after 4 years of hooning the crap out of it. Thank you Ken...it's been a fun journey.
A little time heals wounds,I can watch it with a huge smile on my face instead of tears in our eyes,RIP Ken Block,always in our hearts"the greatest driver that ever lived in my eyes"❤
I was basically out of the car scene i felt that everything was too expensive let alone get into motorsport.Then i saw this guys Gymkhana with his crazy driving style and this F everything attitude that pulled me back in.KB43VER
KB 43VER...🚗💨. It's truly amazing how he can handle those cars at that speed.. There will only be one KB 43..rest easy

Wow, some moments I forgot. Every Friday I take 3-5 minutes in my class and show a senseless video. For more than a decade, we would wait for the release of the next. Got to meet Ken and Travis when they raced WRX's similar to Gym 2 in Rally America at the LSPR un the U.P. before he went to Ford. Still cannot believe he is gone. Thanks for posting this Anthology! Posted on 4/3 no less.
Thank you for releasing this, it's amazing to be able to watch all of the films together. Ken Block is who got me into Rally and cars in general and I couldn't thank him enough for opening mine and so many others to the world of racing and cars. He won't be forgotten, RIP big man
Could not thank the team enough for putting this together. I made it to 3 before the tears really started. This man turned after school auto motive tom foolery into not just a sport, but en entire community. Every handbrake pull, every shot of flames, every tire slain is detriment to the passion and dedication to motor-sport, inspiring drivers all over the globe. There is a hole in the automotive world that will never be filled, but the knowledge and spirit that he left behind will never fade. There will never not be tire marks in any empty parking lot. And that's the way it should be.
.... the control and speed he maintains is crazy. inspired me to appreciate more than straight line racing even though he dominates there to in the most unconventional cars lol we all miss you ken 43 for ever and ever
The simple idea of merging "skater videos" with automotive content was and will always be the single biggest marketing success in the automotive space since the invention of the assembly line. We are just lucky enough to be alive when it happened. Ken is and will always be an inspiration to everyone who loves cars beyond the intended purpose to make the automaker money.
This man changed my life, thank you for this. Rest in peace Ken Block, thank you for being one of the greatest inspirations I had growing up and throughout my driving career all you guys rock for real. Thank you yall wild hoonigans!
2 hours?! 2+ freaking hours? I find this at 11pm when I should be going to bed and now I have to stay up the next 2+hours. Thanks :) literally great vid
It is over a year now and Ken's passing has still hit me hard! Not just because of his piloting skillz behind the wheel of his Gymkhana cars that have effected me but also the warmth that he generated through his smile. It's a shame because not only Ken passing but the rest of the Hoonigan team (Misfits) all equally made it fun to enjoy and watch. Correct me if I am wrong but after the remaining videos that were filmed and not released yet are watched then that will be finally the official end to a great era in time no more official Hoonigan videos left! Most of the old Hoonigan gang have in their own ways let us know what they will be doing in the future but SCOTTO..youve went AWOL...!! let us know chum what you're doing so we can follow you, it's GOSPEL that Gymkhana etc would and could not have happened without your artistic vision. Just saying but maybe you could dust off the old director's chair and start something with Lia and maybe not at her dad's level(Yet) but something car-related to building her up until she has the skillz to take over her dad's throne and she seems as passionate as her father! So Scotto show your face big lad and if that's not viable get back in front of the camera and just be yourself.... use we're all good people! 🤙🤙 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 💙💙 ✌️✌️ All the love from Jay across the pond in Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
I remember being a senior in highschool when that first kenblock vid in the subaru dropped, everybody was showing it around and rocking monster merch and hoonigan merch after that, trying to drift the parking lots to re-create his craft. Long live ken.
