Jeezus, that looks like fun!!

[flipper35]

I could handle a job like that.

GoPro's are amazing devices, I love mine.


You three minute guys remind me of your parents.............back to the rocking chair for you.

[CurtEgerer]

That was actually pretty good due to the location. Was completely bored with the abandoned airport/warehouse/parking lot stuff. Good luck to Ken/Alex in 3 weeks at Rally Finland!

I think even my 84 y/o dad would have enjoyed the hell out of that!

Show me where he's done something new. It's not like football where no two plays end up alike. Now if there were 3 of them and a checkered flag, that'd be different.

i thought it was BADASS!!! i like knowing the exact neighborhoods!!

and what did they do with all the regular traffic? like the bay bridge in the daytime? maybe on one of the closure days..hmmm..badass. that sideways jump was insane..

[attamz]

awesome!

[slow&rusty]

Wow...that was amazing (undertstatement). I have been a long time fan of Ken, he is TRULY a talented driver that knows depth perception and more importantly car control.

I am blown away that the City of SanFran and Port Authority allowed so many major streets to be shut down for this shoot.

The cinematography is brilliant...

I bet this video cost a fortune to produce.

go to the 5 minute 50 second mark, and it'll be apparent that being slideways mid air and in a tight 90 degree corner with all tires over 2 feet off the ground is something new, as well as the awesome video angle from 20-30 GoPro's lined up on the Apex of the corner, played in reverse sequence with a couple of frames from each camera for an awesome reverse pan "Matrix film" sort of slow motion.


Gampa Zeke, Back to your rocking chair, your prune flavored jello pudding for dinner will be served shortly by dudley your attendant. Did you have an nice stroll around the assisted living grounds in your Walker today Zeke?

[onewhippedpuppy]

Awesome. The guy can drive and make some impressive movies.

[HardDrive]

Seemed like a waste of time and resources to me. But you can't get around that move around 5:40 that Rusty Heap mentioned. That was pretty cool.

[VINMAN]

That dance with him an Travis Pastrana was cool as hell. Big brass ones on both those guys.

[azasadny]

I saw this on the Ford intranet website today...

[motion]

Oh hell yeah! Some serious hooning there.
