Gymkhana 5 Video: Watch Ken Block Rip Up San Francisco in Sick Drifting Video

If only the world was our playground. 

For professional rally driver Ken Block, that astounding wish becomes reality when streets are cleared for him to have his way. 

The latest are the slopes and hills of San Francisco, and it's basically the closest thing you will see to a real life driver going video game on a major city. 

The latest Gymkhana is simply magical as the viewer is hit with two amazing realities. The streets of San Francisco are empty and there is a rally car defying corners and hills on them. 

Block sounded off on the run with Jalopnik.

"San Francisco was absolutely amazing for Gymkhana. It's such a unique location for this kind of driving and allowed me to do some things that I never thought I'd ever be able to incorporate into one of my Gymkhana videos-like jumping a table top or doing a jump drift! I'm stoked with how this project turned out and I'm truly a lucky bastard to have been able to do the things I was able to do on the streets of San Francisco. To all of the residents and people who allowed us to make this happen, thank you!"

I am sure this grand of a course caused quite the headache for San Franciscans during the shoot. Being that I didn't have to deal with the presumed immense traffic, I reclined and watched with glee. 

Come for the ridiculous driving skills but stay for the cameo from Travis Pastrana on his dirt bike. By the end, you will have come to the same conclusion I did. 

I have no idea what I have been doing for years, because it's not driving.
