Top 10 things I hate about Ken Block's Gymkhana IV...

Yeah, I know. You've seen it. I reluctantly decided to post it up. Why? Well because there are a few things that have to be said...





10. The overplayed, overused "Nothin' but a Good Time" opening song. Really tired of this tune being used for every "cool" video. PLAYED OUT! 
9. If there's going to be a pedal box/footwork video shot; please don't make it's only purpose be DC Shoes logo placement.
8. I'm so over the Segway thing.
7. If Block and the producers wanted to make it look authentically 'candid' (driving thru a filming commercial? Really?); they should have CGI'd the previous rubber laid from the practice runs.
6. Speaking of CGI, the only thing more overused than that was super-slow-motion.
5. What is the deal with the dude in the gorilla outfit?
4.  The only desirable car in downtown Hill Valley set from Back to the Future should be a DeLorean. Sorry, some things should be sacred.
3. The guy with the bottle of Jack Daniels. Someone please knock him out.
2. 9 minutes, 16 seconds of video. Only about 4 minutes 27 seconds of actual driving.

AND THE MOST LOATHSOME, INTOLERABLE THING ABOUT GYMKHANA IV?

#1. If Block spent 1/10th the time going over his pace notes and devoting himself to WRC as he did producing these mildly entertaining DC Shoe promo videos; he would be world champion!

Something you would like to see added to the top ten? Comment!!!
