Ken Block Previews Gymkhana 5’s San Francisco City Tricks: Video

His competitive rally career may be heading to new heights, but cult skating hero Ken Block still has time to rip out a new chapter in his ongoing Gymkhana video series.

Returning to the tyre-shreading and raw donut-flavoured style of his earlier clips, the fifth instalment in the Gymkhana series will see Block tackle the streets of San Francisco.

Exactly what the rally star will get up to in the city by the bay hasn't been revealed, but fans will undoubtedly be holding out for a bolt down the famous Lombard Street, or a spot of tag with a line-up of the town's iconic trams.

For now, this new 37-second preview clip shows Block tearing tyres up in his #43 Ford Fiesta rally car, on a barge bound for San Francisco.

Watch for the full video to land on July 9 (July 10 in Australia), and get yourself up to speed by checking out Block's previous Gymkhana clips right here.
