Sweet! Also, just to remind everyone, DiRT 2 is coming out this Wednesday the 9th. I'm a major dork and pre-ordered it through gamestop.

Imo, this one's easily better than Gymkhana II.

Why?

This one has what II seriously lacked: A sense of humor.

G-II was an infomercial, and imo it looked like out-takes from a "Fast & Furious" reel.

G-One was balls-out, with not that much editing to make a killer video.

G-II was shot in many, many takes, with a director, storyboards, a very large, movie-production-like crew, and a focused, "commercial" goal.

(It was shot to "To bring DC Shoes, the other sponsors, and (oh, yeah) gymkhana, to the masses." -Ken Block, a very loose quote)

G 2.1 was hilarious, and the idea in and of itself, the spoof, makes me like Block & Co., a whole lot more than I did after seeing G-II's glossy, sometimes almost boring seven minutes. Those under-truck explosions were weaksauce, and it really should have ended with a drag race between Bloc and Vin Diesel, off of a pier-if you want to stay true to form.

Hey, anything's better than nothing, but G 2.1 was, imo, much closer to G-I than G-II was.

Just as an FYI the whole Gymkhana thing is a viral add for Monster. this is what pays the bills for his rally effort.

there is little money in rally, but things like this released on the web with some good marketing are a gold mine.

especially when you own DC Shoes!

especially when you own DC Shoes!

Block sold DC years ago, for tens of millions, then stayed on, for millions more.

He doesn't need sponsorship, per se, as he's filthy stinking rich.

Block paid for his own cars at the beginning, VSC built em, and he raced them.

I really liked G1 and G2.1. G2 was a great infomercial.

Its all eye-candy to me. These youtube videos, along with xgames, is a big part of marketing rally in America. If this is what it takes for more people to get interested in the motorsport we all think rocks, sweet. With that said, G1 gets my vote for the best yet.
