Fans of the Gymkhana series, rejoice!
To mark the tenth anniversary of the original Gymkhana video, Hoonigan and Ken Block have partnered up with Amazon to create a eight-part series showing what went in to creating those videos from previous Gymkhanas while also leading up to the debut of the tenth Gymkhana.

Gymkhana Files debuts November 16. Each week will offer two episodes. On the fourth week, Amazon viewers will be able to see Gymkhana 10 ten days before its official debut on other media sources, such as YouTube.

Calling that a 1977 F-150 is ... kind of a stretch.

It looks like the entire drivetrain, suspension, chassis, and interior are totally custom and don't have anything to do with an F-150.

It looks like the only thing it actually has from a 1977 F-150 are some body panels and the mirrors.

You could say that for all the vehicles he uses in the videos, everyone of them is purpose built.

Thanks for the heads up! The limits he drives at are absolutely amazing.

Pretty slick truck. The trailer hitch is a nice touch Big Grin

Entertaining for sure.

I just finished watching the series and was really impressed. Not only does his driving astound me but he seems like a very cool, down to earth guy.

As a production geek I was also amazed by the camera work and how much goes into that part of it

Watched all 8. I think the BTS stuff is more interesting than the film itself.

I definitely feel like watching the BTS stuff was more interesting than watching Gymkhana 10. It's sad that this may be the last one with manufacturer support they ever do.

I'm not a Ford guy, so not a big loss to me. I actually liked the Subaru from 2(?) better.

The different ones are all cool, but I like the Shamrock one the best.
