Here it is: Gymkhana 8

Nowhere near as good as the others. The guy sure can drive though.

I'm kind of in agreement. Is it incredible what they did? Absolutely. But I think we've become so desensitized to these kinds of videos that they just become 'meh'.

i met this dude on a plane on the way back from brazil a few years back. I also stood in line behind tony hawk waiting for the bathroom on same plane. Ken Block is a really nice guy though and I will always love these videos.

I have to say. I think my favorite thing about these videos is the lack of music. I love just hearing the car and the tires and the shifting, even though I know they are doing a lot of post on making these sound queues really pop.

I'm not disappointed at all, love this and possibly one my favourites now. Yes, some stunts are staged but some are a one time take. He has talent and these videos are pretty creative.

I think this one is better than many of the others and I can't wait for number 9 with the Focus RS RX. Not sure what anyone expects....Nascar drives in a circle over and over and that's pretty popular.

Yeah, I think you're right re: becoming desensitized.

Jealous. He does seem like an awesome guy.

Being staged doesn't detract from the spectacle. I was hoping for something a bit more; San Francisco was the pinnacle for me. This was still pretty incredible though.

"Mildly disappointed" would have been a more fitting title.

It would be better if he did a one take special, on the ground you can see how many times he tried some of those parts.

All he is really doing is trying to one up himself, and it gets harder and harder each time to do that.
