With the overwhelming populairty of the Gymkhana series, it's easy to see why people view Ken Block strictly as a viral sensation, but Ken has been very clear, he's way more than that.

Putting aside all that he has done for action sports with his brand DC shoes, and the Gymkhana series which fell in his lap and he was smart enough to take advantage of it, Ken's real passion is racing and that what he attends to get better at. Ken's been putting in a worksmen like effort on the World Rally Championships for a few years now with little success but after his most recent finish in Spain, there's reason to believe he can start winning.

This past weekend Block and his teammate Alex Gelsomino finished 9th, their best WRC race to date resulting in their first points this season, the first American to earn points in decades. Block is currently 23rd out of 25 teams on the WRC standings, but is excited after regestering his first points this year.

While Block looks to build on this result in the future, hopefully solidifying himself amongst the other drivers on the WRC, he hasn't forgotten about what makes him so popular as evidence of the top 5 fan videos from Spain on the Monster Rally Fan Page. Block took some time around the fan friendly corners to show off some classic Gymkhana moves.
